Dipolar aprotic solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidinone (or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)) are under increasing pressure from environmental regulation. NMP is a known reproductive toxin and has been placed on the EU “Substances of Very High Concern” list. Accordingly there is an urgent need for non-toxic alternatives to the dipolar aprotic solvents. N-Butylpyrrolidinone, although structurally similar to NMP, is not mutagenic or reprotoxic, yet retains many of the characteristics of a dipolar aprotic solvent. This work introduces N-butylpyrrolidinone as a new solvent for cross-coupling reactions and other syntheses typically requiring a conventional dipolar aprotic solvent.

Continuous-Flow Process for the Synthesis of m-Nitrothioanisole


Abstract Image
A continuous-flow process for the preparation of m-nitrothioanisole has been set up. The starting material m-nitroaniline was diazotized to give diazonium chloride, followed by azo-coupling with sodium thiomethoxide to give 1-(methylthio)-2-(3-nitrophenyl)diazene, then dediazoniated to gain m-nitrothioanisole in high yield. The continuous-flow process minimized accumulation of the energetic intermediate diazonium salt and has a better capacity for adapting large-scale production. A solvent was introduced in the azo-coupling section to create a biphasic flow system. Side products were inhibited eminently in this flow process.

The library construction of highly functionalized and diverse chromenopyridinones was achieved by three-component reactions of various 4-hydroxycoumarins with ammonium acetate and 3-formylchromones under L-proline catalyzed solid-state melt conditions. The advantages of this protocol include the use of an inexpensive organocatalyst, avoidance of toxic organic solvents, environmentally benign conditions, an easy work-up procedure and good to excellent product yields. The optical properties of these π-expanded varieties of the synthesized chromenopyridinone derivatives were also examined. A chromeno[4,3-b]pyridine nucleus bearing an electron donating group exhibited strong emission in the blue-green region of the visible spectrum.

The Medicinal Chemistry of Dengue Virus

Abstract Image



The dengue virus and related flaviviruses are an increasing global health threat. In this perspective, we comment on and review medicinal chemistry efforts aimed at the prevention or treatment of dengue infections. We include target-based approaches aimed at viral or host factors and results from phenotypic screenings in cellular assay systems for viral replication. This perspective is limited to the discussion of results that provide explicit chemistry or structure–activity relationship (SAR), or appear to be of particular interest to the medicinal chemist for other reasons. The discovery and development efforts discussed here may at least partially be extrapolated toward other emerging flaviviral infections, such as West Nile virus. Therefore, this perspective, although not aimed at flaviviruses in general, should also be able to provide an overview of the medicinal chemistry of these closely related infectious agents.

Continuous ruthenium-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation with supercritical carbon dioxide

Continuous ruthenium-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation with supercritical carbon dioxide

The methoxycarbonylation of cyclohexene with carbon dioxide over a ruthenium catalyst was realized in a micro flow system under supercritical conditions. Instead of the toxic and flammable carbon monoxide, this process utilizes carbon dioxide, thereby avoiding issues with bulk transportation of carbon monoxide as well as eliminating the need for safety precautions associated with the use of carbon monoxide. Obtained was a 77% yield of the ester product at 180 °C, 120 bar and with a 90 min residence time, which is over five times faster than for the same reaction performed under subcritical conditions in batch. An important factor for the performance of the system was to have a sufficiently polar supercritical mixture, allowing the catalyst to dissolve well. The optimal temperature for the reaction was 180 °C, as the activity of the system dropped considerably at higher temperatures, most likely due to catalyst deactivation.
