The development of active and selective non-noble metal-based catalysts for the chemoselective reduction of nitro compounds in aquo media under mild conditions is an attractive research area. Herein, the synthesis of subnanometric and stable cobalt nanoclusters, covered by N-doped carbon layers as core-shell (Co@NC-800), for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes is reported. TheCo@NC-800catalyst was prepared by the pyrolysis of the Co(tpy)2complex impregnated on Vulcan carbon. In fact, the use of a molecular complex based on six N-Co bonds drives the formation of a well-defined and distributed cobalt core-shell nanocluster covered by N-doped carbon layers. In order to elucidate its nature, it has been fully characterized by using several advanced techniques. In addition, this as-prepared catalyst showed high activity, chemoselectivity and stability toward the reduction of nitro compounds with H2and under mild reaction conditions; water was used as a green solvent, improving the previous results based on cobalt catalysts. Moreover, theCo@NC-800catalyst is also active and selective for the one-pot synthesis of secondary aryl amines and isoindolinones through the reductive amination of nitroarenes. Finally, based on diffraction and spectroscopic studies, metallic cobalt nanoclusters with surface CoNxpatches have been proposed as the active phase in theCo@NC-800material.

Based on the experimental and DFT calculation results, here for the first time we built preferential adsorption sites for nitroarenes by modification of the supported Cu catalysts surface with 1,10-phenathroline (1,10-phen), by which the yield of aniline via reduction of nitroarene is enhanced three times. Moreover, a macromolecular layer was in-situ generated on supported Cu catalysts to form a stable macromolecule modified supported Cu catalyst, i.e., CuAlOx-M. By applying the CuAlOx-M, a wide variety of nitroarene substrates react smoothly to afford the desired products in up to > 99% yield with > 99% selectivity. The method tolerates a variety of functional groups, including halides, ketone, amide, and C = C bond moieties. The excellent catalytic performance of the CuAlOx-M can be attributed to that the 1,10-phen modification benefits the preferential adsorption of nitrobenzene and slightly weakens adsorption of aniline on the supported nano-Cu surface.

Selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that acts as not only ER antagonist, but also ER degrader, would be useful for the treatment for drug-resistance ER+ breast cancer. However, most of currently available SERD candidates involve very limited molecular scaffolds and are still in clinical trials. In this study, we introduced a 1,3,5-triazine ring into a homobibenzyl motif extracted from amounts of ER ligands and synthesized sixteen SERDs bearing acrylic acid or acrylic amide side chains that possess both ERα antagonism and degradation properties. And all compounds were screened for their anti-proliferative activity against ER+ MCF-7 and Ishikawa cell lines. Among them, compound XHA1614 displayed potent growth inhibition activity against MCF-7 and Ishikawa cells with IC50 values of 3.15 μM and 3.11 μM, respectively. Moreover, XHA1614 could dramatically degrade ER level at 1 nM in a Western blotting assay and afforded an outstanding antagonistic activity via suppressing the expression of progesterone receptor messenger RNA in MCF-7 cells in a RT-PCR assay. Further molecular docking and dynamic simulation on properly selected derivative furnished insights into its binding profile within ERα. Our findings suggest that the 1,3,5-triazine core was a feasible alternative to currently reported SERD scaffold, and provide information that will be useful for further development of promising SERDs candidates for breast cancer therapies.
