Hydroboration of alkenes is a classical reaction in organic synthesis in which alkenes react with boranes to give alkylboranes with subsequent oxidation resulting in alcohols. The double bond (π-bond) of alkenes can be readily reacted with boranes owing to its high reactivity. However, the single bond (σ-bond) of alkanes has never been reacted. To pursue the development of σ-bond cleavage, we selected cyclopropanes as model substrates since they present a relatively weak σ-bond. Herein, we describe an iridium-catalyzed hydroboration of cyclopropanes, resulting in β-methyl alkylboronates. These unusually branched boronates can be derivatized by oxidation or cross-coupling chemistry, accessing "designer"products that are desired by practitioners of natural product synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations and theoretical studies revealed the enabling role of the catalyst.

Incorporation of carbobenzoxy-glycylprolyl (Z-GP) to either α or β position of the hydrazine moiety in procarbazine (Pcb) has been carried on in 5-steps process. The overall yield was 32.7%. The new entity Z-GP-Pcb was confirmed targeting to fibroblast activation protein-α (FAPα). Z-GP-Pcb may be hydrolyzed by either isolated rhFAPα or tumor homogenate. It was shown far less cytotoxicity against NCI-H460 cell line than Pcb. Z-GP-Pcb was displayed the potency to reduce spermatoxcity in H22-bearing mice. The mechanism may be ascribed to the blockade of dehydrogenation by α-glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase. This candidate was further proved equal antitumor activity to Pcb. However, the introduction of Z-GP scaffold decreased myelosuppression. All the evidences support that Z-GP-Pcb is a better antitumor agent than Pcb.

The invention discloses a synthetic method of procarbazine (Pcb). The synthetic method comprises following steps: p-tolualdehyde is taken as an initial raw material, dibromocyanuric acid and isopropylamine are added, reaction is carried out at room temperature so as to obtain p-methyl benzoyl isopropylamine; p-methyl benzoyl isopropylamine is dissolved in an organic reagent, N-bromo-succinimide and an initiator are added, heating reflux is carried out, after reaction, the solvent is removed, acetonitrile and a hydrolysis promoter are added, heating reflux is carried out so as to obtain p-formyl benzoyl isopropylamine; p-formyl benzoyl isopropylamine and methylhydrazine sulfate are dissolved in an organic reagent, triethylamine is added for reaction, and the solvent is subjected to rotary drying, sodium cyanoborohydride is added, an obtained reaction system is heated to room temperature, reaction is carried out for more than one night so as to obtain Pcb. According to the synthetic method, bromination is carried out firstly, and then hydrolysis is carried out, p-methyl benzoyl isopropylamine is converted into p-formyl benzoyl isopropylamine, using of strong oxidizing agent and strong acid is avoided, the synthetic method is friendly to the environment, the yield is high, and the total yield of the three steps is 52.9%.
