Abstract Ionic isocyanide insertion from biphenyl isocyanide derivative and Usemoto′s reagent (II) is developed resulting in an efficient synthesis of 6‐trifluoromethyl substituted phenanthridines and a series of related N‐heterocycles.
Abstract An intermolecular hydroalkylative dearomatization of naphthalenes with commercially available α‐amino acids is achieved via visible‐light photoredox catalysis. With an organic photocatalyst, a series of multi‐substituted 1,2‐dihydronaphthalenes are obtained in good‐to‐excellent yields. Intriguingly, by tuning the substituents at the C2 position of naphthalenes, formal dearomative [3+2] cycloadditions occur exclusively via a hydroalkylative dearomatization–cyclization sequence. This overall redox‐neutral method features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance of functionalities, and operational simplicity. Diverse downstream elaborations of the products are demonstrated. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of a radical–radical coupling pathway.

Abstract A new Pb(II) complex, [Pb(8-OQ)(4-NB)], where 8-OQ = 8-hydroxyquinolinate, 4-NB = 4-nitrobenzoate, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the complex possesses a tetranuclear Pb 4 O 4 cubane structure. The Pb(II) atom is coordinated by three triply bridging phenolic hydroxyl O atoms of 8-OQ ligands, then the tetranuclear Pb system is formed resulting in a tetrahedral cage. The interaction of complex with HS-DNA in Tris buffer was studied by UV−vis absorption spectrum and fluorescence ethidium bromide displacement experiment with an intrinsic binding constant of 1.52×10 4 M -1 and a linear Stern–Volmer quenching constant of 6.77×10 3 M -1 . Anticancer activity against MCF-7, HepG-2 and A549 cell lines of complex was also determined by the MTT-based assay. The results showed the complex can inhibit proliferation of these three kinds of tumor cells and is less cytotoxic than cisplatin.
