A simple and practical molecular iodine-mediated method for the efficient construction of thiocarbamates from isocyanides, thiols and water under metal-free and mild conditions has been developed. A variety of thiocarbamates were easily synthesized through this methodology, which has the advantages of simple operation, eco-friendly conditions, good functional group tolerance, and readily accessible raw materials.

Article Synopsis
  • Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for many biological functions and diseases, making them important but challenging targets for drug development.
  • Traditional drug discovery has focused on enzymes and receptors, which have smaller binding sites, leaving a gap in strategies to successfully target PPIs.
  • To overcome these challenges, a new strategy called privileged substructure-based diversity-oriented synthesis (pDOS) was developed, incorporating pyrimidine-based compounds to create diverse chemical structures that can effectively interfere with PPIs, including inhibiting the interaction between human ACE2 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

A flexible and metal-free synthetic approach for synthesizing 2-benzoyl quinazolinones and 2-aryl quinazolinones via molecular iodine-mediated annulative coupling of sulfoxonium ylides with 2-aminobenzamides has been disclosed. The method demonstrates remarkable chemoselectivity and efficiency, leading to high yields of 2-benzoyl quinazolinones and 2-aryl quinazolinones under optimized conditions. The broad substrate scope, scalability, and practical utility were highlighted through diverse applications, including gram-scale reactions and the synthesis of biologically significant compounds such as tryptanthrin and the chemo/biosensor derivative.

Skeletal Editing by Hypervalent Iodine Mediated Nitrogen Insertion.

Chemistry

October 2024

Department of Pharmaceutical Technology (Process Chemistry), National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Sector-67, S. A. S. Nagar, Punjab, 160062, India.

Hypervalent iodine reagents are versatile and readily accessible reagents that have been extensively applied in contemporary synthesis in modern organic chemistry. Among them, iodonitrene (ArI=NR), is a powerful reactive species, widely used for a single-nitrogen-atom insertion reaction, and skeletal editing to construct N-heterocycles. Skeletal editing with reactive iodonitrene components has recently emerged as an exciting approach in modern chemical transformation.

Iodine-Mediated δ-Amination of sp C-H Bonds.

J Org Chem

March 2024

College of Chemistry, Pingyuan Laboratory, State Key Laboratory of Antiviral Drugs, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China.

We present a direct δ-amination reaction of sp C-H bonds, employing molecular iodine (I) as the sole oxidant under transition-metal-free conditions. This remote C-H functionalization approach is operationally simple and provides facile, efficient access to pyrrolidines and related heterocyclic derivatives from readily accessible substrates.
