We report on the fluorinated form of Cpd 5 as a cell growth inhibitor. This compound is 3-fold more potent than the parent Cpd 5 and is predicted, using the semi-empirical AM1 method to be only an arylator of cysteine-containing proteins, without generating reactive oxygen species.

Dicyanomethylene-terminated quinoidal materials are promising n-type organic semiconductors featuring excellent electron mobilities and air stability. Traditional synthetic methods of these materials such as Takahashi reaction, require the use of expensive palladium catalyst and halogenated substrates. However, for electron-rich fused aromatic compounds, the poor stability after halogenation renders their halogenated derivatives unsuitable as reaction precursors.

Article Synopsis
- Inclusion of an extra nitrogen atom in phosphorus-nitrogen heterocycles leads to surprising tautomerization into a nonaromatic form, which can be examined through X-ray crystallography and computational methods.
- The addition of a fluorine atom helps resist this tautomerization, shedding light on the reasons behind the transformation.
- Research on alkylated variants revealed that while these compounds remain aromatic in solution, they mainly adopt a quinoidal structure in solid form, offering insights for developing responsive hydrogen-bond-directed receptors.
Structure-Activity Relationship Investigation on Reaction Mechanism between Chlorinated Quinoid Carcinogens and Clinically-Used Aldoxime Nerve-Agent Antidote under Physiological Condition.

Pyridinium aldoximes are best-known therapeutic antidotes used for clinical treatment of poisonings by organophosphorus nerve-agents and pesticides. Recently, we found that pralidoxime (2-PAM, a currently clinically used nerve-agent antidote) could also detoxify tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ), which is a carcinogenic quinoid metabolite of the widely used wood preservative pentachlorophenol under normal physiological conditions, via an unusually mild and facile Beckmann fragmentation mechanism accompanied by radical homolysis. However, it is not clear whether the less-chlorinated benzoquinones (BQs, ≤ 3) act similarly; if so, what is the structure-activity relationship? In this study, we found that (1) The stability of reaction intermediates produced by different BQs and 2-PAM was dependent not only on the position but also the degree of Cl-substitution on BQs, which can be divided into TCBQ- and DCBQ (dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone)-subgroup; (2) The p value of hydroxlated quinones (BQ-OHs, the hydrolysis products of BQs), determined the stability of corresponding intermediates, that is, the decomposition rate of the intermediates depended on the acidity of BQ-OHs; (3) The p value of the corresponding BQ-OHs could also determine the reaction ratio of Beckmann fragmentation to radical homolysis in BQs/2-PAM.
