Antibiotic resistance among clinically significant bacterial pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) is becoming a prevalent threat to public health, and new antibacterial agents with novel mechanisms of action hence are in an urgent need. As a part of continuing effort to develop antibacterial agents, we rationally designed and synthesized two series of 4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl and 4,5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl-containing benzamide derivatives that targeted the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ. Evaluation of their activity against a panel of Gram-positive and -negative pathogens revealed that compound A16 possessing the 4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl group showed outstanding antibacterial activity (MIC, ≤0.125–0.5 μg/mL) against various testing strains, including methicillin-resistant, penicillin-resistant and clinical isolated S. aureus strains. Besides, further mouse infection model revealed that A16 could be effective in vivo and non-toxic to Hela cells. Finally, a detailed discussion of structure-activity relationships was conducted, referring to the docking results. It is worth noting that substituting a 4,5-dihydroisoxazole ring for the isoxazole ring not only broadened the antibacterial spectrum but also resulted in a significant increase in antibacterial activity against S. aureus strains. Taken together, these results suggest a promising chemotype for the development of new FtsZ-targeting bactericidal agents.

A selective and operationally simple ironcatalyzed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with alkylmagnesium halides has been developed. The reaction tolerates various functional groups and exhibits high chemoselectivity even in the presence of aryl bromides. Mechanistic studies indicate the essential role of the olefin substituent for substrate activation. Competing polymerization and reduction are effectively suppressed.

An effective protocol for iron-catalyzed biaryl syntheses by coupling chlorostyrenes with aryl Grignard reagents requires only mild reaction conditions and tolerates various functional groups. The underlying activation of deactivated aryl chlorides proceeds through a rate-determining coordination of the catalyst to the vinyl substituent and subsequent haptotropic migration along the conjugated πsystem to the site of C-Cl bond cleavage.
