A new synthetic method for the construction of benzoazepine analogues has been developed employing -arylmethylbenzyl azide derivatives as precursors using an azide rearrangement reaction. In this work, 14 benzoazepine compounds were successfully synthesized in moderate to excellent yields. All synthetic benzoazepines were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against normal human kidney cell line (HEK cell). The results showed that compound had the lowest cytotoxicity (IC = 65.68 μM) among tested compounds, which was comparable with the antianxiety drug diazepam (IC = 87.90 μM). Based on the cytotoxicity results, five benzoazepine analogues (compounds , , , , and ) were selected to determine the antianxiety effect on stressed rats using elevated plus maze (EPM) and open field test (OFT) methods. Interestingly, compound showed better anxiolytic activity than diazepam without a sedative effect by showing superior hyperlocomotor activity. Therefore, this discovery could pave the way for drug development to treat patients with anxiety disorder.

A copper-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of azide-ynamides via selenium ylides is disclosed, which leads to the practical and divergent synthesis of a variety of tricyclic heterocycles bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in generally moderate to excellent yields. Significantly, this method represents the first [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the selenium ylide based on alkynes and an unprecedented [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement via α-imino copper carbenes.

An efficient protocol was reported for the synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl indoles through visible-light-promoted intermolecular cyclization of sulfoxonium ylides with azides, without the need for external photocatalysts, transition metals, or bases. The formation of 2-trifluoromethyl indoles involves an intriguing cascade process including azide rearrangement, intermolecular nucleophilic addition, and visible-light-promoted cyclization of a key intermediate. The protocol features high efficiency, mild conditions, excellent substrate compatibility and good regioselectivity.

Article Synopsis
- A new method has been developed to synthesize various functionalized quinazolinones using a series of reactions involving Pd-catalyzed coupling and electrocyclization.
- When a specific type of compound (3-(2-isocyanoethyl)indoles) is used, there’s an interesting competition between two reactions, leading to the formation of different products.
- This process allows for a modular and highly selective synthesis of both quinazolinones and spiroindolenine-3,3'-pyrrolo[2,1-]quinazolinones.
Chemical Synthesis of 6-Azido-6-Deoxy Derivatives of Phosphatidylinositol Containing Different Fatty Acid Chains.

This paper describes the synthesis of two 6-azido-6-deoxy derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PI), which contained different fatty acid chains. These syntheses, starting from methyl α-d-glucopyranoside, employed multiple regioselective transformations with Ferrier rearrangement as one of the key steps. The PI derivatives contained different fatty acid chains in the lipids and an azido group in the inositol residue to facilitate their further functionalization under bioorthogonal conditions.

Carbonyl azides are important precursors to isocyanates and are used as energetic compounds. However, the further development of these compounds is limited by their inherently poor stability. In this study, we present a new family of carbonyl azides, 5-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl-carbamoyl-azide (NTCA), which was synthesized through in situ oxidation cleavage of amino-tetrazole.
