A photoredox strategy to access β-selenated cyclic ketone derivatives through the coupling reaction of 1-(1-arylvinyl)cyclobutanols with diselenides under blue LED irradiation and an air atmosphere was developed. This reaction employs the easily accessible and shelf-stable diselenides as a selenium radical source, and the reaction has advantages of mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope.

Aim and Objective: During the investigation of sodium nitrite-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction of aryls, an unprecedented C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H coupling of substituted 2-aryl acetonitrile was found. Materials and Methods: The structure of the coupled product was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and comparison of its derivatives with known compounds. The effects of methoxy group in the benzene ring on the reaction were evaluated. Results: The optimized reaction conditions are summarized as follows: CF3SO3H/substrate = 1.5 equiv., NaNO2/substrate = 0.3 equiv., CH3CN as solvent. 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile and 2-(3,4,5- trimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile could also generate C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H coupling. The coupling reaction occurred as a typical radial mechanism. Conclusion: An unprecedented cyano-induced, NaNO2-catalyzed oxidative C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H coupling was reported. The reaction proceeded under very mild conditions, using O2 in the air as terminal oxidant. The unique oxidative manner might provide more inspiration for the development of intriguing oxidative coupling reactions.

We herein describe a Ni-catalyzed multicomponent coupling reaction of alkyl halides, isocyanides, and H2O to access alkyl amides. Bench-stable NiCl2(dppp) is competent to initiate this transformation under mild reaction conditions, thus allowing easy operation and adding practical value. Substrate scope studies revealed a broad functional group tolerance and generality of primary and secondary alkyl halides in this protocol. A plausible catalytic cycle via a SET process is proposed based on preliminary experiments and previous literature.

A radical–radical cross-coupling reaction of phenols with tert-butyl nitrite has been developed with the use of water as an additive. This method allows the construction of C–N bonds under an air atmosphere at room temperature, providing the ortho-nitrated phenol derivative in moderate to good yields.

The Eschenmoser coupling is a useful carbon–carbon bond forming reaction which has been used in various different synthesis strategies. The reaction proceeds smoothly if S-alkylated ternary thioamides or thiolactames are used. In the case of S-alkylated secondary thioamides or thiolactames, the Eschenmoser coupling needs prolonged reaction times and elevated temperatures to deliver valuable yields. We have used a flow chemistry system to promote the Eschenmoser coupling under enhanced reaction conditions in order to convert the demanding precursors such as S-alkylated secondary thioamides and thiolactames in an efficient way. Under pressurized reaction conditions at about 220 °C, the desired Eschenmoser coupling products were obtained within 70 s residence time. The reaction kinetics was investigated and 15 examples of different building block combinations are given.

Bicyclic aziridines undergo formal [3+3] ring expansion reactions when exposed to rhodium-bound vinyl carbenes to form complex dehydropiperidines in a highly stereocontrolled rearrangement. Mechanistic studies and DFT computations indicate the reaction proceeds through the formation of a vinyl aziridinium ylide; this reactive intermediate undergoes a concerted, asynchronous, pseudo-[1,4]- sigmatropic rearrangement to directly furnish the heterocyclic products with net retention at the new C-C bond. In combination with an asymmetric silver-catalyzed aziridination developed in our group, this method quickly delivers enantioenriched scaffolds with up to three contiguous stereocenters. The mild reaction conditions, functional group tolerance, and high stereochemical retention of this method are especially well-suited for appending piperidine motifs to natural product and complex molecules. Ultimately, our work establishes the value of underutilized aziridinium ylides as key intermediates in strategies to convert small, strained rings to larger N-heterocycles.

9-Arylbenzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives were prepared with base-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions between benzo[b]quinolizinium-9-trifluoroborate and selected benzenediazonium salts. In addition, the Sonogashira coupling reaction between 9-iodobenzo[b]quinolizinium and the arylalkyne derivatives yielded four novel 9-(arylethynyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives under relatively mild reaction conditions. The 9-(N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium is only very weakly emitting, but the emission intensity increases by a factor >200 upon protonation, so that this derivative may operate as pH-sensitive light-up probe. Photometric and fluorimetric titrations of duplex and quadruplex DNA to 9-(arylethynyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives revealed a significant binding affinity of these compounds towards both DNA forms with binding constants ofKb= 0.2–2.2 × 105M−1.

Abstract Phototherapies, including sunlight, infrared, ultraviolet, visible and laser, parts of which present high curative effect, small invasion, and negligible adverse reactions in cancer treatment. Here we aimed to explore the potential therapeutical effects of blue LED in hepatoma cell and decipher the underlying cellular/molecular mechanisms. We demonstrated that the irradiation of blue LED light in hepatoma cell could lead to cell proliferation reduction along with the cell apoptosis increase. Simultaneously, blue LED irradiation also markedly suppressed the migration and invasion ability of hepatoma cells. Sphere formation analysis further revealed the decreased stemness of hepatoma cell under the treatment of blue LED irradiation. In addition, blue LED irradiation significantly promoted the expression of γ-H2AX, a sensitive molecular marker of DNA damage. Collectively, we demonstrated that blue LED irradiation exhibited anti-tumor effects on liver cancer by inducing DNA damage, representing a potential approach for human hepatoma treatment.
