Abstract: The presilylation of purine and pyrimidine nucleobases as well as other related N-heterocycles with HMDS utilizing chitosan–silica sulfate nanohybrid (CSSNH) is described. CSSNH is proved to be a useful, highly efficient and eco-friendly heterogeneous nanohybrid catalyst for silylation of nucleobases. The presilylated nucleobases then underwent the reaction with different sources of carbon electrophiles to afford the desired N-alkyl-substituted derivatives in good-to-excellent yields. CSSNH exhibits several advantageous involving ease of handling and preparation, low cost, reusability and environmental benignity. These unique properties render the CSSNH to be an ideal candidate for use in green industrial processes. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Several dihydroaromatic compounds are shown to be effective reducing agents in the oxo-metal-catalyzed deoxydehydration of diols and polyols to produce olefins and the corresponding arenes. NH4ReO4 and MeReO3 are active catalysts for the reactions. The most effective of the hydroaromatic reductants is indoline, which is oxidized to indole. Yields for a variety of diols and polyols range from 35% to 99%. Two hydrogen donors, 1,3-cyclohexadiene and dihydroanthracene, engage in tandem DODH/cycloaddition reactions. Competition experiments show that indoline is more reactive than representative alcohols in H-transfer. Indoline is shown to reduce MeReO3 to MeReO2 via an isolable adduct, MeReO3(indoline) (4), which has been structurally characterized and is suggested to be an intermediate in the catalytic DODH process.

A new series of gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes based on xanthine ligands have been synthesized and characterized by mass spectrometry, NMR, and X-ray diffraction. The compounds have been tested for their antiproliferative properties in human cancer cells and nontumorigenic cells in vitro, as well as for their toxicity in healthy tissues ex vivo. The bis-carbene complex [Au(caffein-2-ylidene)2][BF4] (complex 4) appeared to be selective for human ovarian cancer cell lines and poorly toxic in healthy organs. To gain preliminary insights into their actual mechanism of action, two biologically relevant in cellulo targets were studied, namely, DNA (more precisely a higher-order DNA structure termed G-quadruplex DNA that plays key roles in oncogenetic regulation) and a pivotal enzyme of the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery (poly-(adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), strongly involved in the cancer resistance mechanism). Our results indicate that complex 4 acts as an efficient and selective G-quadruplex ligand while being a modest PARP-1 inhibitor (i.e., poor DDR impairing agent) and thus provide preliminary insights into the molecular mechanism that underlies its antiproliferative behavior.
