Benzimidazole compounds are known for their broad spectrum therapeutic potentials. A small library of benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized via a one-pot telescopic grinding approach. The ability of these molecules as proposed anticancer agents were evaluated by their potential to bind to two important cancer pathway protein targets, human estrogen receptors and cyclin dependant kinases, 3ERT and 5FGK respectively. Further nucleic acid binding and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacity being in the scope for anticancer potential evaluations, the ability of these molecules have been evaluated for the same. Further, to support the experimental and computational results, AI-assisted tools were employed to predict the anticancer activity (PASS) as well as to identify false positives (PAINS). Also, the druggability of the proposed compounds was evaluated by following their pharmacokinetic parameters - ADME.

A one-pot, telescoped transformation of silyl ethers into cyanides that proceeds via silyl-ether oxidation mediated by nitroxyl-radical catalyst and [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene followed by an imine formation-oxidation sequence using iodine and aqueous ammonia is reported. This transformation is effective for the site-selective transformation of benzylic and allylic silyl ethers in the presence of other silyl ethers. Using an -protected oxime and a catalytic amount of triflic acid instead of iodine/aqueous ammonia is also effective for cyanation.

In 1981, Maier and Schleyer first identified a select number of cage bicyclic olefins (alkenes) as "hyperstable", and predicted them to be "remarkably unreactive", based solely on theoretical methods. Since that time only three systems meeting the criteria of a hyperstable alkene have been reported in the literature. A one-pot, telescoped synthesis, of four hyperstable alkenes is reported herein, which has uncovered unexpected reactivity towards oxidation.

Readily available 2-unsubstituted imidazole -oxides were examined as starting materials for the preparation of fully substituted 1,4,5-aryl/alkyl 2-trifluoromethylsulfanyl-imidazoles. Whereas activation of the -oxide function followed by attempted nucleophilic addition of the SCF was in vain, the alternative approach involving "sulfur transfer reaction" and subsequent electrophilic trifluoromethylation with Togni reagent provided target products in high yield via a one-pot procedure. The structure of representative enantiomerically pure imidazol-2-yl trifluoromethyl sulfide was confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Aminated nitrogen heterocycles are important in various chemical fields, especially in drug discovery, but traditional methods for adding nitrogen to them often require complex pre-steps and are mainly restricted to one position (C2).
  • The new method introduced allows for direct C-H amination at both C2 and C4 positions of fused azaarenes using a specific I(III) reagent, eliminating the need for preoxidation and enabling higher accessibility for C4 products.
  • This technique not only simplifies the process and improves yields, but also offers insights into the mechanism, showcasing a unique way of activating the reagent and explaining the formation of the different amination products.
