Synthesis of New Cytotoxic Aminoanthraquinone Derivatives via Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions

Synthesis of new cytotoxic aminoanthraquinone derivatives via nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Aminoanthraquinones were successfully synthesized via two reaction steps. 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone (1) was first subjected to methylation, reduction and acylation to give an excellent yield of anthracene-1,4-dione (3), 1,4-dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione (5) and 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4-diyl diacetate (7). Treatment of 1, 3, 5 and 7 with BuNH2 in the presence of PhI(OAc)2 as catal...

Synthesis of Phosphorus Derivatives via Multicomponent Reactions

Stable derivatives of oxaphosphaphenanthrenes were prepared using multicomponent reactions of 3-bromo-2-naphthol, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate and trimethyl or triphenyl phosphite under microwave conditions with good yields. 

Nucleophilic substitution of bromonorbornenes and derivatives by electron transfer reactions.

The photoinitiated substitution reactions of anti-7-bromobenzonorbornadiene (5), its syn isomer 6, exo-anti-13-bromobenzocyclobutanorbornene (7), syn-7-bromonorbornene (8) and bromonorbornane (9) with Me(3)Sn(-) and Ph(2)P(-) anions, in liquid ammonia, are here informed to occur with good yields of substitution. The stereochemical outcome is discussed in terms of calculations with the B3LYP fun...

Synthesis of 3-aminoBODIPY dyes via copper-catalyzed vicarious nucleophilic substitution of 2-halogeno derivatives.

2-Halogeno BODIPYs undergo copper catalysed nucleophilic substitution with alkyl amines and anilines and an amide to give the corresponding 3-aminoBODIPY derivatives. The substrates are readily prepared by the regioselective 2-halogenation of the chemically robust, preformed BODIPYs thus providing an alternative to direct nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding 3-halogenoBODIPYs which re...
