Size-Driven Inversion of Selectivity in Esterification Reactions: Secondary Beat Primary Alcohols

Relative rates for the Lewis base-mediated acylation of secondary and primary alcohols carrying large aromatic side chains with anhydrides differing in size and electronic structure have been measured. While primary alcohols react faster than secondary ones in transformations with monosubstituted benzoic anhydride derivatives, relative reactivities are inverted in reactions with sterically biased 1-naphthyl anhydrides. Further analysis of reaction rates shows that increasing substrate size leads to an actual acceleration of the acylation process, the effect being larger for secondary as compared to primary alcohols. Computational results indicate that acylation rates are guided by noncovalent interactions (NCIs) between the catalyst ring system and the DED substituents in the alcohol and anhydride reactants. Thereby stronger NCIs are formed for secondary alcohols than for primary alcohols.

In this paper, we report an efficient synthetic method for thioester formation from sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, organic halides, and aryl anhydrides. In the one-pot two-step reactions developed in this study, sodium thiosulfate was used as the sulfur surrogate for acylation with anhydrides, followed by substitution with organic halides through the in situ generation of thioaroylate. Furthermore, two important organic compounds could be successfully synthesized using our developed method. The advantages of the one-pot two-step reactions are operational simplicity, structurally diverse products with 42%-90% yields, use of relatively low toxic and odourless reagents, and easy applicability to large-scale operation.

A new series of substituted-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-benzoxazole derivatives 13a–13p was synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their COX (I and II) inhibitory activity, in vivo anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic potential. Compounds 13d, 13h, 13k, 13l and 13n exhibited significant COX-2 inhibitory activity and selectivity towards COX-2 over COX-1. These selected compounds were screened for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. Among these compounds, 13d was the most promising analogs of the series with percent inhibition of 84.09 and IC50 value of 0.04 μM and 1.02 μM (COX-2 and COX-1) respectively. Furthermore, ulcerogenic study was performed and tested compounds (13d, 13h, 13k, 13l) demonstrated a significant gastric tolerance than ibuprofen. Molecular docking study was also performed with resolved crystal structure of COX-2 to understand the binding mechanisms of newly synthesized inhibitors in the active site of COX-2 enzyme and the results were found to be concordant with the biological evaluation studies of the compounds. These newly synthesized inhibitors also showed acceptable pharmacokinetic profile in the in silico ADME/T analyses.
