The synthesis of a family of biphenyl-tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives incorporating a binding site has been carried out in good to moderate yields through functionalization of the biphenyl scaffold. X-ray structure of one derivative (compound 3) of the series is provided and shows a dihedral angle of 74 degrees around the central Ar-Ar bond of the biphenyl unit in a cisoid conformation. (1)H NMR and cyclic-voltammetry studies demonstrate the critical importance of the nature of the substitution on the conformational rigidity and on the electrochemical behavior of the resulting biphenyl-TTF assemblies. This feature is underlined by an original electrochemical recognition process upon binding of Pb(2+), correlated to conformational changes occurring upon metal cation complexation.

Annulations through dual C-H activation represent a powerful tool to selectively assemble multi-cyclic scaffolds. We present herein a palladium-catalyzed -/-C-H-annulation of biphenyl amines with 1,6-enynes. This regioselective non-rollover cyclometallation was achieved through meticulous tuning of electronic factors of both the partners.

Flurbiprofen, a primary component of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve symptoms of arthritis, and is a considerable interest in medicinal chemistry due to its demonstrated potential as an effective agent in various therapeutic applications. In consideration of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole therapeutic potential and anticancer activity, a new series of flurbiprofen scaffolds have been prepared through a straightforward reaction between 5-(1-(2-fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (4) and various organic active 2-chloro-N-phenyl acetamides (5). The synthesized series (6a-6k) was characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR, mass, H-NMR, and C NMR, followed by physical data.

Article Synopsis
  • Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a durable engineering plastic used in bone substitutes, but its biological inertness requires enhancements for better clinical application.
  • This study introduced a method to graft bioactive glass (BAG) onto PEEK surfaces using a sulfonation reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid to increase bioactivity in bone scaffolds.
  • Results showed that the optimal conditions for modification led to scaffolds with improved properties like reduced cytotoxicity and enhanced biocompatibility, suggesting potential for better bone repair in clinical settings.
