Due to their electron-rich aromatic structure, nucleophilic (radio)fluorination of pyridines is challenging, especially at the meta position. In this paper, we describe the first example of direct fluorination of a pyridine N-oxide to produce a meta fluorinated pyridine. Specifically, fluorination of 3-bromo-4-nitropyridine N-oxide produced in several minutes 3-fluoro-4-nitropyridine N-oxide in moderate yield at room temperature. This intermediate compound was later converted to 3-fluoro-4-aminopyridine easily by catalytic hydrogenation. Furthermore, this approach was successfully applied for labeling with fluorine-18. The use of pyridine N-oxides for the preparation of fluoropyridines is unprecedented in the chemical literature and has the potential to offer a new way for the synthesis of these important structures in pharmaceuticals and radiopharmaceuticals.

This study explores the deoxygenation of pyridine -oxides and presents a one-step photoredox method for the direct synthesis of 2-hydroxymethylated pyridines from pyridine -oxides. Mechanism studies elucidate the role of the catalyst and provide evidence of the possible electron transfer process and the formation of key radicals. A range of pyridine derivatives, particularly 2-hydroxymethyl-substituted pyridines, which may be difficult to obtain, can be synthesized in a single step.

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a rare malignancy with rising incidence. The therapeutic options are limited and the overall survival remains poor. Cyclin-dependent kinases, drivers of cell cycle and transcription have numerous biological functions and are known to be dysregulated in numerous tumor entities.

The regioselective synthesis of functionalized naphthoquinones the formation and capture of naphthoquinonynes has been used to prepare trypanocidal compounds. The target compounds are functionalized on the aromatic ring, leaving the quinoidal ring intact. Using this technique, eighteen functionalized naphthoquinones were succesfull obtained, divided in two main groups: the first scope using -nucleophiles, and the second scope using pyridine -oxides, with yields up to 74%.

The transition metal-catalyzed direct coupling reactions involving electron-rich Fischer carbene species are largely underdeveloped and remain a big challenge. Here, a direct coupling reaction of azoles and azine N-oxides is reported with Fischer copper carbene species bearing an α-siloxy group i, which can be in situ generated from acylsilanes catalytically under photoirradiation and redox-neutral conditions. This coupling reaction between electron-rich α-siloxy Fischer Cu-carbene species with hard carbanion nucleophiles may undergo a bimetallic relay process, which is confirmed by the kinetic analysis and in situ NMR analysis.

Article Synopsis
- A phase 2 clinical trial tested the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor SCH 727965 in patients with metastatic melanoma to assess its safety and effectiveness, focusing on overall survival and progression-free survival rates.* -
- Among 72 enrolled patients, there were no observed responses to the treatment out of 67 evaluable cases, with stable disease in only 21%, median progression-free survival at 1.4 months, and median overall survival at 8.2 months.* -
- Despite some patients achieving a 1-year overall survival rate of 38%, the study concluded that SCH 727965 showed minimal benefit and significant toxic effects, suggesting it should not be further pursued as a single-agent therapy.*
