Molbank, Volume 2021, Issue 1 (March 2021) – 22 articles

Cover Story (view full-size image): Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of N-(6-chloro-3-nitropyridin-2-yl)5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)isoquinolin-3-amine. This compound was designed as an irreversible inhibitor of the monopolar spindle 1 kinase (MPS1 or TTK), a promising anticancer target. MPS1 harbors a poorly conserved cysteine in the middle hinge region, which we aimed to address with a reactive warhead relying on nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) chemistry. While the title compound did not show the expected MPS1 inhibition, mid-nanomolar potency on the kinase p70S6Kβ (S6K2) was observed, offering a new starting point to target this under-investigated enzyme.

Firstly, the synthesis of pyrazoline was performed via one-pot three-component reaction under microwave irradiation. Secondly, the synthesis of pyrazole was performed via oxidative aromatization of pyrazoline under conventional heating. [...] Read more.

Firstly, the synthesis of pyrazoline was performed via one-pot three-component reaction under microwave irradiation. Secondly, the synthesis of pyrazole was performed via oxidative aromatization of pyrazoline under conventional heating. The structure of the synthesized compound was confirmed by spectroscopic analysis, including FT-IR, HR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR analysis. Then, molecular docking study showed that the binding affinity of the synthesized compound to human estrogen alpha receptor (ERα) was close to 4-OHT as a native ligand. Full article

We reported an efficient one-pot two-step synthesis of 3-(tert-butyl)-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine 3 in good yield by a solvent-free condensation/reduction reaction sequence starting from 3-(tert-butyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine 1 and p-methoxybenzaldehyde 2. The one-pot reductive amination proceeded by the formation in situ of the N-(5-pyrazolyl)imine 4 as key synthetic intermediate of other valuable pyrazole derivatives. This methodology is distinguished by its operational easiness, short reaction time, isolation and purification of the aldimine intermediate is not required. The structure of the synthesized N-heterocyclic amine 3 was fully characterized by FTIR-ATR, 1D and 2D NMR experiments, EIMS, and elemental analysis. Full article

A new hybrid compound of chalcone-salicylate (title compound) has been successfully synthesized using a linker mode approach under reflux condition. The structure of the title compound has been established by spectroscopic analysis including UV-Vis, FT-IR, HRMS, 1D, and 2D NMR. Then, computational approach was also applied in this study through molecular docking and MD simulation to explore its potency against breast cancer. The results of the molecular docking study showed that the title compound exhibited more negative value of binding free energy (−8.15 kcal/mol) than tamoxifen (−7.00 kcal/mol). In addition, no striking change in the positioning of the interacting residues was recorded before and after the MD simulations. Based on the studies, it can be predicted that the title compound has a cytotoxic activity potency against breast cancer through ERα inhibition and it presumably can be developed as anticancer agent candidate.

The ongoing study is a Ugi-azide four-component reaction for the synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole(1,5-DST), which involves an aldehyde, different amines, isocyanides, and as azide’s source the Trimethylsilylazide (TMSN3), in water as solvent using as catalyst the tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) with a load of (10% mole), which provides a hydrophobic micellar reaction site. This approach is a step toward a green chemistry reaction of 1,5 disubstituted tetrazole. A serie of 1, 5- disubstituted tetrazole was synthesized by engaging a large substrate scope, leading to yields between 43% and 56%, which are compared afterwards with those obtained with methanol as solvent. The results were confirmed by HRMS, IR, and 1D NMR experiments. Full article

Over the years secondary metabolites have been considered as lead molecules both in their natural form and as templates for medicinal chemistry. Some secondary metabolites such as polyphenols and flavan-3-ols exert beneficial effects after a modification by the microbiota. Synthetic precursors of some of these modified compounds, in turn, carried a γ-alkylidenebutenolide moiety which characterizes a large class of bioactive natural products endowed with a wide range of biological activities. For these reasons stereoselective preparation of γ-alkylidenebutenolide continues to be an important issue for organic chemists. Our objective is to synthetize the novel compound (Z)-5-(3′,4′-bis(benzyloxy)benzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one in a stereocontrolled-one-pot reaction. The product was obtained in good yield. Furthermore, the theoretical investigation of the transition states suggests a new procedure to achieve Z-isomer of β-unsubstituted γ-alkylidenebutenolide. Full article

A novel Cu(II) complex based on the Schiff base obtained by the condensation of ortho-vanillin with gamma-aminobutyric acid was synthesized. The compounds are physico-chemically characterized by elemental analysis, HR-ESI-MS, FT-IR, and UV-Vis. The complex and the Schiff base ligand are further structurally identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction and 1H and 13C-NMR, respectively. The results suggest that the Schiff base are synthesized in excellent yield under mild reaction conditions in the presence of glacial acetic acid and the crystal structure of its Cu(II) complex reflects an one-dimensional polymeric compound. The molecular structure of the complex consists of a Cu(II) ion bound to two singly deprotonated Schiff base bridging ligands that form a CuN2O4 chelation environment, and a coordination sphere with a disordered octahedral geometry.

Abstract
Compounds with propargylamine moiety are useful synthetic precursors of several important classes of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The title compound, methyl (2E)-3-[3-benzyl-2-(3-methoxy-3-oxoprop-1-yn-1-yl)-2-(1-naphthyl)imidazolidine-1-yl]acrylate, has been prepared by domino-reaction, employing easily available 1-benzyl-2-(1-naphthyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole and methyl propiolate in a high 92% yield. The structure [...] Read more.
Compounds with propargylamine moiety are useful synthetic precursors of several important classes of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The title compound, methyl (2E)-3-[3-benzyl-2-(3-methoxy-3-oxoprop-1-yn-1-yl)-2-(1-naphthyl)imidazolidine-1-yl]acrylate, has been prepared by domino-reaction, employing easily available 1-benzyl-2-(1-naphthyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole and methyl propiolate in a high 92% yield. The structure of title compound was determined using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV, FT-IR and HRMS (High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry). Full article
