Gold complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands represent a promising class of metallodrugs for the treatment of cancer or infectious diseases. In this report, the synthesis and the biological evaluation of halogen-containing NHC-AuI-Cl complexes are described. The complexes 1 and 5 a–5 f displayed good cytotoxic activity against tumor cells, and cellular uptake studies suggested that an intact Au-NHC fragment is essential for the accumulation of high amounts of both the metal and the NHC ligand. However, the bioavailability was negatively affected by serum components of the cell culture media and was influenced by likely transformations of the complex. One example (5 d) efficiently induced apoptosis in vincristine- and daunorubicin-resistant P-glycoprotein overexpressing Nalm-6 leukemia cells. Cellular uptake studies with this compound showed that both the wild-type and resistant Nalm-6 cells accumulated comparable amounts of gold, indicating that the gold drug was not excreted by P-glycoprotein or other efflux transporters. The effective inhibition of mammalian and bacterial thioredoxin reductases (TrxR) was confirmed for all of the gold complexes. Antibacterial screening of the gold complexes showed a particularly high activity against Gram-positive strains, reflecting their high dependence on an intact Trx/TrxR system. This result is of particular interest as the inhibition of bacterial TrxR represents a relatively little explored mechanism of new anti-infectives.

The cyclization of o-phenylenediamines by CO2 in the presence of H2 was presented to directly synthesize benzimidazoles, and a series of benzimidazoles were obtained in excellent yields using RuCl 2(dppe)2 as the catalyst.

This work reports an efficient route for the synthesis of benzimidazole from o-nitroaniline in the presence of carbon dioxide atmosphere, PhSiH3 as a reducing agent catalyzed by Pd/C as a catalyst. Benzimidazoles have become the focus of organic chemists, as benzimidazole is an important intermediate in medicinal chemistry. We have developed more efficient route for the synthesis benzimidazole and various substituted benzimidazoles have been synthesized in good to excellent yield. The TBD (1,5,7-Triazabicyclo [4.4.0] dec-5-ene) is selected as a base as it promotes the CO2 insertion. Benzimidazoles were synthesized through reduction of nitro group followed by cyclization of amine using CO2 as a carbon source. Moreover, the Pd/C catalyst can be recycled up to five recycle run without significant changes in the yield of the product.

D-fructose, a biomass-derived carbohydrate has been identified as an environmentally benign C2 synthon in the preparation of synthetically useful 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole derivatives by coupling with 1,2-phenylenediamines. Proof of concept was established by synthesizing 23 examples using BF3.OEt2 (20 mol%), TBHP (5.5 M, decane) (1.0 equiv.) in CH3CN at 90 °C for 1 h. The pivotal features of this method include metal-free conditions, short time, good functional group tolerance, gram scale feasibility and the synthesis of benzimidazole fused 1,4-oxazine. Control studies with conventional C2 synthons did not produce the desired product, thus suggesting a new reaction pathway from D-fructose.
