The oxidative debenzylation of N-benzyl amides and O-benzyl ethers was promoted with high efficiency by a bromo radical formed through the oxidation of bromide from alkali metal bromide under mild conditions. This reaction provided the corresponding amides from N-benzyl amides and carbonyl compounds from O-benzyl ethers in high yields.

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been identified as a potential new target in anticancer therapy, being overexpressed in different tumors and crucial for cell proliferation. Advances in the development of specific HO-1 inhibitors should support the understanding of controlling HO-1 activity as antitumoral strategies, opening the path for future therapeutic applications. In the present study, small series of new HO-1 inhibitors were synthesized by joining a butylimidazolic pharmacophore together with a hydrophobic moiety spaced by a 2-oxybenzamide central linker.

Article Synopsis
- The research introduces a new method called "seleno-click" to create amide-linked inhibitors targeting the protein Mcl-1, building on a previous technique known as kinetic target-guided synthesis (KTGS).
- This new seleno-click approach utilizes the high reactivity of selenocarboxylates to improve the reaction with electron-rich azides, broadening the potential applications of KTGS.
- The effectiveness of this method is illustrated by producing a specific Mcl-1 inhibitor at both 37 °C and a lower temperature of 4 °C, indicating its usefulness for sensitive biological targets.

Selective functionalisation of hydrocarbons using transition metal complexes has evoked significant research interest in industrial chemistry. However, selective oxidation of unactivated aliphatic C-H bonds is challenging because of the high bond dissociation energies. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterisation and catalytic activity of nickel(ii) complexes ([Ni(L1-L3)(OH)](ClO) (1-3)) of monoamidate tetradentate ligands [L1: 2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)--phenylacetamide, L2: 2-(bis(2-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)--(naphthalen-1-yl)acetamide, L3: -benzyl-2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)acetamide] in selective oxidation of cycloalkanes using -CPBA as the oxidant.

The effective management of moderate to severe pain often relies on the use of analgesic agents. However, the widespread utility of these medications is hindered by the occurrence of several undesirable side effects. In light of this challenge, there is growing interest in the development of κ opioid receptor (KOR) agonists, which have shown promise in mitigating these adverse effects.

In this study, we present the catalytic conversion of benzylamides featuring an ortho alkynyl moiety into 1-acylisoindole derivatives via a 1,2-acyl shift. Remarkably, this transformation proceeds without the need for transition-metal catalysts; instead, KOBu alone serves as the catalyst. This method enables the efficient synthesis of isoindoles from easily accessible amides with an atom economy of 100%.
