Nitrogen oxide (NOx) conversion is an important process for balancing the global nitrogen cycle. Distinct from the biological NOx transformation, we have devised a synthetic approach to this issue by utilizing a bifunctional metal catalyst for producing value-added products from NOx. Here, we present a novel catalysis based on a Ni pincer system, effectively converting Ni-NOx to Ni-NO via deoxygenation with CO(g). This is followed by transfer of the in situ generated nitroso group to organic substrates, which favorably occurs at the flattened Ni(I)-NO site via its nucleophilic reaction. Successful catalytic production of oximes from benzyl halides using NaNO2 is presented with a turnover number of >200 under mild conditions. In a key step of the catalysis, a nickel(I)-?NO species effectively activates alkyl halides, which is carefully evaluated by both experimental and theoretical methods. Our nickel catalyst effectively fulfills a dual purpose, namely, deoxygenating NOx anions and catalyzing C-N coupling.

A series of mixed oxides-supported niobium-based catalysts has been synthesized and applied towards oxidation reactions of benzylamine derivatives. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the selectivity to oxime enhanced, leading to the main product with up to 72 %. Moreover, even α-substituted benzylamines were well tolerated and led to oximes in good isolated yields. It is important to mention; four equivalents of the harmless and inexpensive hydrogen peroxide were employed as oxidizing agent. Mechanism hypothesis suggested that the reaction proceed to selective benzylamine oxidation into nitroso intermediate, following by formation of the corresponding oxime tautomer mediated by an unstable water produced by NbOx supported catalyst. This consists the first mixed oxides-supported niobium-based catalyst for selective oxidation of benzylamines to oximes.

New drugs to treat tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed to combat the increase in resistance observed among the current first-line and second-line treatments. Here, we propose ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI) as a target for anti-TB drug discovery. Twenty-two analogues of IpOHA, an inhibitor of plant KARI, were evaluated as antimycobacterial agents. The strongest inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) KARI has a Ki value of 19.7 nM, fivefold more potent than IpOHA (Ki = 97.7 nM). This and four other potent analogues are slow- and tight-binding inhibitors of MtKARI. Three compounds were cocrystallized with Staphylococcus aureus KARI and yielded crystals that diffracted to 1.6-2.0 ? resolution. Prodrugs of these compounds possess antimycobacterial activity against H37Rv, a virulent strain of human TB, with the most active compound having an MIC90 of 2.32 ± 0.04 μM. This compound demonstrates a very favorable selectivity window and represents a highly promising lead as an anti-TB agent.
