Solvent-free and direct C(sp3)–H amination of adamantanes by grinding

Rapid Synthesis of N-Tosylhydrazones under Solvent-Free Conditions and Their Potential Application Against Human Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Some N-tosylhydrazone derivatives were effectively synthesized under solvent-free conditions by using a grinding method at room temperature. The short reaction time, clean and mild process with simple workup and easy purification of the target compounds were salient features of the present protocol, which enables straightforward access to N-tosylhydrazones. Among the tosylhydrazone derivatives evaluated, compound 3 l exhibits excellent apoptosis-promoting and anticancer potential against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines. This research shows that our synthesized compound 3 l may be a desirable and effective therapeutic drug against TNBC.

Room-Temperature CuI-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Iodides and Aryl Bromides

A general and effective CuI/N',N'-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbohydrazide catalyst system was developed for the amination of aryl iodides and bromides at room temperature with good chemoselectivity between -OH and -NH₂ groups. Only 5 mol % of CuI and ligands was needed in this protocol to effect the amination of various aryl bromides and aryl iodides with a wide range of aliphatic and aryl amines (1.3 equiv).
