An iridium-catalyzed selective ortho-monoiodination of benzoic acids with two equivalent C?H bonds is presented. A wide range of electron-rich and electron-poor substrates undergo the reaction under mild conditions, with >20:1 mono/di selectivity. Importantly, the C?H iodination occurs selectively ortho to the carboxylic acid moiety in substrates bearing competing coordinating directing groups. The reaction is performed at room temperature and no inert atmosphere or exclusion of moisture is required. Mechanistic investigations revealed a substrate-dependent reversible C?H activation/protodemetalation step, a substrate-dependent turnover-limiting step, and the crucial role of the AgI additive in the deactivation of the iodination product towards further reaction.

Two one-pot procedures for the construction of carbon-bridged diaryliodonium triflates and tetrafluoroborates are described. Strong Br?nsted acids enable the effective Friedel-Crafts alkylation with diversely substituted o-iodobenzyl alcohol derivatives, providing diphenylmethane scaffolds, which are subsequently oxidized and cyclized to the corresponding dibenzo[b,e]iodininium salts. Based on NMR investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we could verify the so-far-undescribed existence of two stable isomers in cyclic iodonium salts substituted with aliphatic side chains in the carbon bridge.

The selaginellin derivatives are a type of novel natural pigments with an unusual alkynyl phenol skeleton from the genus Selaginella. Some of these natural compounds were previously reported to show important bioactivities, including anticancer activity, cardiovascular protection and phosphodiesterase-4 inhibition. We designed and synthesized fifteen biphenyl-containing diaryl acetylene derivatives mimicking the skeleton of natural alkynyl phenols. In MTT assay in cancer cells, compounds 1c, 2d, 2g, 2h, 2i and 2j exhibited potent antiproliferative activity. The evaluation of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway inhibitory activity in dual luciferase assay demonstrated that most tested compounds exhibited moderate to good activities. Compounds 1a, 2f and 2h displayed high HIF-1 inhibitory activities and relatively low cytotoxicity, demonstrating great potential as HIF-1 inhibitors. These results afford a new strategy for the discovery of new HIF-1 inhibitors and anti-proliferative agents from natural or synthetic diaryl acetylene derivatives.
