Nitrophenol derivatives oxidized by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) and their cytotoxicity

Oxidation of a series of phenols with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in acetonitrile undermild conditions yields the mixture of corresponding nitrophenols. In the cases of methylphenols and hydroxy-carboxylic acids, the steric effect may reduce the nitration reaction. Compounds 3 a and 4b showed selective activities to Hep 3B and Hep G2 cancer cell lines, respectively. Compound 2c showed selective activities to Hep G2 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines. Further more, com pound 10b showed selective activities to Hep G2, Hep 3B, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines.

Reaction of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate with simple phenols in a silica gel matrix

The oxophilicity of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate is moderated by the addition of hydrogen peroxide.The reaction with simple phenols becomes regioselective when carried out in a silica gel matrix.The methodology has been employed for the synthesis of new functionalized terphenyls and biphenyls.
