A novel catalyst-free cascade amination/cyclization/reduction reaction was developed for the synthesis of various Dihydroquinoxalinones under mild conditions from accessible biomass-derived keto acids and 1,2-phenylenediamines with ammonia borane as a hydrogen donor. This single-step approach enables a simple and eco-friendly route toward the direct synthesis of 12 kinds of Dihydroquinoxalinones in moderate to excellent yields in the green solvent dimethyl carbonate. The results of deuterium-labeling experiments and density function calculations demonstrate that the reductive process proceeds along a double hydrogen transfer pathway. An acceptable yield of Dihydroquinoxalinone can be afforded in a gram-scale experiment, illustrating the practicality of the as-reported reaction system.

Chiral tetrahydroquinoxalines and dihydroquinoxalinones represent the core structure of many bioactive molecules. Herein, a simple and efficient Rh-thiourea-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation for enantiopure tetrahydroquinoxalines and dihydroquinoxalinones was developed under 1 MPa H pressure at room temperature. The reaction was magnified to the gram scale furnishing the desired products with undamaged yield and enantioselectivity.

Article Synopsis
- Polymerization of tubulin dimers into microtubules is critical for cell proliferation and a recognized target for cancer treatment.
- A new compound was developed by modifying existing inhibitors to bind more effectively to the colchicine site on tubulin, leading to the creation of multiple new derivatives.
- One standout derivative demonstrated potent cytotoxicity against various cancer cells, prolonged stability in the body, and significant tumor growth inhibition in a resistant prostate cancer model, suggesting its potential for further development as a cancer therapy.
SB226, an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, inhibits paclitaxel-resistant melanoma growth and spontaneous metastasis.

Extensive preclinical studies have shown that colchicine-binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) are promising drug candidates for cancer therapy. Although numerous CBSIs were generated and evaluated, but so far the FDA has not approved any of them due to undesired adverse events or insufficient efficacies. We previously reported two very potent CBSIs, the dihydroquinoxalinone compounds 5 m and 5t.

Photocatalytic dehydrogenative [2 + 2] cycloadditions between amines and alkenes were developed that allow for the stereoselective and high-yielding synthesis of functionalized azetidines. The oxidative formal Aza Paternò-Büchi reactions are induced by photoredox-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of dihydroquinoxalinones as the amines, and in the presence of structurally diverse alkenes intermolecular [2 + 2] cyclization to dihydro-1-azeto[1,2-]quinoxalin-3(4)-ones occurs. The utility of the method is illustrated by the selective conversion of amino acid derived dihydroquinoxalinones , including oxidation-prone lysine and tryptophan derivatives.
