Dysregulated HGF/c-Met signalling has been associated with many human cancers, poor clinical outcomes, and even resistance acquisition to some approved targeted therapies. As such, c-Met kinase has emerged as an attractive target for anticancer drug discovery. Herein, a series of 6,7-disubstitued-4-(2-fluorophenoxy)quinoline derivatives bearing α-acyloxycarboxamide moiety were designed, synthesized via Passerini reaction as the key step, and evaluated for their in vitro biological activities against c-Met kinase and five selected cancer cell lines. The preliminary structure-activity relationship demonstrated that α-acyloxycarboxamide as the 5-atom linker maintained the potent antitumor potency. Among these compounds, compound 25s (c-Met IC50 = 4.06 nmol/L) was identified as the most promising lead compound and displayed the most potent antiproliferative activities against A549, HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC50 of 0.39, 0.20, and 0.58 μmol/L, which were 1.3-, 1.4- and 1.2-fold superior to foretinib, respectively. The further studies indicated that compound 25s can induce apoptosis of A549 cells and arrest efficiently the cell cycle distribution in G2/M phase of A549 cells. Moreover, compound 25s can also inhibit c-Met phosphorylation in A549 cells by a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, these results indicated that compound 25s could be a potential anticancer lead compound deserving for further development.

Contrary to previous reports, the reaction mechanism of chlorine dioxide (OClOC·) with benzyl alcohols involves both radical cation and benzyl radical mechanisms dependent on pH. The primary reaction product between OClOC· and 1-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl) ethanol at pH 8 is 3,4-dimethoxyacetophenone. At pH 4 no acetophenone was observed; the majority of the degradation products were chlorinated and aromatic ring-oxidized compounds. A primary kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD = 2.05) was observed in the reaction of OClOC· with 1-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-(1-2H) ethanol at pH 8, but was absent at pH 4 (kH/kD ≈ 1). Similarly, the corresponding methyl ether (4-(1-methoxy)ethyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene) was substantially less reactive at pH > 6. On the basis of these results, competing pH-dependent reaction mechanisms have been proposed, where at high pH OClOC· reacts with benzyl alcohols via a OClOC·-benzyl alcohol complex.

Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic ethers, anisole, 2-methoxynaphthalene, and dimethoxybenzenes with different acid anhydrides is carried out in the presence of an inexpensive and nonhazardous solid acid, Amberlyst 15. The catalyst is reusable, thus making the process environmentally friendly.
Lignin peroxidase catalysed oxidation of 4-methoxymandelic acid. The role of mediator structure

, p. 8087 - 8093 (2002)
A large number of substances have been tested as redox mediators in the LiP-catalysed oxidation of 4-methoxymandelic acid (4-MMA) to anisaldehyde. In some cases (i.e. thioanisole), the mediation efficiency is almost equal to the maximum value displayed by the natural mediator veratryl alcohol. The mediation efficiency is a function of the redox potential of the mediator and also appears to depend on the kinetic effectiveness with which the mediator is oxidised by the enzyme. In contrast, the lifetime of the mediator radical cation seems not to play any significant role, which would support the idea that the redox mediation is actually accomplished by a complex between the mediator radical cation and the enzyme.
Aerobic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohols Catalyzed by Aryl Substituted N-Hydroxyphthalimides. Possible Involvement of a Charge-Transfer Complex

, p. 3431 - 3438 (2004)
A series of aryl-substituted N-hydroxyphthalimides (X-NHPIs) containing either electron-withdrawing groups (4-CH3OCO, 3-F) or electron-donating groups (4-CH3, 4-CH8O, 3-CH 3O, 3,6-(CH3O)2) have been used as catalysts in the aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols. The selective formation of aromatic aldehydes was observed in the oxidation of primary alcohols; aromatic ketones were the exclusive products in the oxidation of secondary alcohols. O-H bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) of X-NHPIs have been determined by using the EPR radical equilibration technique. BDEs increase with increasing the electron-withdrawing properties of the aryl substituent. Kinetic isotope effect studies and the increase of the substrate oxidation rate by increasing the electron-withdrawing power of the NHPI aryl substituent indicate a rate-determining benzylic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from the alcohol to the aryl-substituted phthalimide-N-oxyl radical (X-PINO). Besides enthalpic effects, polar effects also play a role in the HAT process, as shown by the negative ρ values of the Hammett correlation with σ + and by the decrease of the ρ values (from -0.54 to -0.70) by increasing the electron-withdrawing properties of the NHPI aryl substituent. The relative reactivity of 3-CH3O-C6H4CH 2OH and 3,4-(CH3O)2-C6H3CH 2OH, which is higher than expected on the basis of the σ + values, the small values of relative reactivity of primary vs secondary benzylic alcohols, and the decrease of the ρ values by increasing the electron-withdrawing properties of the NHPI aryl substituent, suggest that the HAT process takes place inside a charge-transfer (CT) complex formed by the X-PINO and the benzylic alcohol.

A simple sol-gel method with and without surfactant was applied to prepare TiO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides containing Ti and Zr at a molar ratio of 1:1. Several catalysts containing w=15%-35% H3PO4 were set up using these mixed oxides. The physical and chemical properties of catalysts were investigated by BET, SEM and pyridine adsorption-desorption. The catalytic performance of each material was determined for the vapor-phase acylation of veratrole (1,2-dimethoxybenzene) to 3,4-dimethoxyacetophenone (3,4-DMAP), which was found to be the major product of the reaction of veratrole with ethyl acetate, with alkylated products being the minor products. 2,3-Dimethoxyacetophenone (2,3-DMAP) was not detected in the product stream. In the best experimental conditions, the alkylated products were less than 0.7%. This reaction may represent an environmentally friendly alternative to use the ethyl acetate as the acylating reagent. The feed molar ratios of veratrole/ethyl acetate were varied over a wide range of 0.1 to 1, and the optimum feed ratio of veratrole/ethyl acetate was 1:3. Space velocity employed in the veratrole acylation reported as WHSV (veratrole) was 1.2 h-1. The acylation reactions were carried out in the temperature range of 423 to 673 and the optimum H3PO4 content for acylation was w15%.

The c-Met kinase has emerged as a promising target for the development of small molecule antitumor agents because of its close relationship with the progression of many human cancers, poor clinical outcomes and even drug resistance. In this study, two novel series of 6,7-disubstitued-4-(2-fluorophenoxy)quinoline derivatives containing α-acyloxycarboxamide or α-acylaminoamide scaffolds were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro biological activities against c-Met kinase and four cancer cell lines (H460, HT-29, MKN-45, and MDA-MB-231). Most of the target compounds exhibited moderate to significant potency and possessed selectivity for H460 and HT-29 cancer cell lines. The preliminary structure-activity relationships indicated that α-acyloxycarboxamide or α-acylaminoamide as 5-atom linker contributed to the antitumor potency. Among these compounds, compound 10m (c-Met IC50 = 2.43 nM, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor) exhibited the most potent inhibitory activities against H460, HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC50 of 0.14 ± 0.03 μM, 0.20 ± 0.02 μM and 0.42 ± 0.03 μM, which were 1.7-, 1.3- and 1.6-fold more active than foretinib, respectively. In addition, concentration-dependent assay and time-dependent assay indicated compound 10m can inhibit the proliferation of H460 cell in a time and concentration dependent manner. Moreover, docking studies revealed the common mode of interaction with the c-Met binding site, suggesting that 10m is a potential candidate for cancer therapy deserving further study.

Herein, a catalytic reductive fractionation of lignocellulose is presented using a heterogeneous cobalt catalyst and formic acid or formate as a hydrogen donor. The catalytic reductive fractionation of untreated birch wood yields monophenolic compounds in up to 34 wt % yield of total lignin, which corresponds to 76 % of the theoretical maximum yield. Model compound studies revealed that the main role of the cobalt catalyst is to stabilize the reactive intermediates formed during the organosolv pulping by transfer hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions. Additionally, the cobalt catalyst is responsible for depolymerization reactions of lignin fragments through transfer hydrogenolysis reactions, which target the β-O-4′ bond. The catalyst could be recycled three times with only negligible decrease in efficiency, showing the robustness of the system.

An optimisation study based upon experimental data obtained from multivariate statistical experimental design and modelling for the haloform reaction used for synthesis of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid from 3,4-dimethoxy acetophenone is reported. It is shown how the different controllable process variables influence both the yield of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid and the formation of the side product 2-chloro-4,5-dimelhoxybenzoic acid. Two predictive multivariate models are derived and used to predict optimal conditions for the oxidation process. Using these models, a yield of 90% (from approximately 60%) of desired product is achieved. Moreover, the model describing the formation of the side-product can in fact also be applied to optimise a procedure for obtaining 2-chloro-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid in substantial quantities. One experiment showed that the side-product could be formed in a quantity of >20%.

In the present work, an artificial light-harvesting system with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is successfully fabricated in aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) micellar systems. Since the tight and orderly arrangement of dodecyl in the SDS micelles is hydrophobic, tetra-(4-pyridylphenyl)ethylene (4PyTPE) can be easily encapsulated into the hydrophobic layer of SDS micelles through noncovalent interaction, which exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon and can be used as energy donor. By using amphoteric sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) fluorescent dye attached to the negatively charged surface of SDS micelles through electrostatic interaction as energy acceptor, the light-harvesting FRET process can be efficiently simulated. Through the steady-state emission spectra analysis in the micelle-mediated energy transfer from 4PyTPE to SR101, the fluorescence emission can be tuned and white light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.29) can be successfully achieved by tuning the donor/acceptor ratio. More importantly, to better mimic natural photosynthesis, the SDS micelles with 4PyTPE and SR101 FRET system showed enhanced catalytic activity in photochemical catalysis for dehalogenation of α-bromoacetophenone in aqueous solution and the photocatalytic reaction could be extended to gram levels.
