Convenient and Scalable Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1<i>H</i>)-one Derivatives and Their Anticancer Activities
<div><p></p><p>An efficient and mild InBr<sub>3</sub>-catalyzed approach to synthesize 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1<i>H</i>)-one derivatives (<b>3a–3aa</b>) has been developed. Notably, all the products were isolated by recrystallization and the reaction is accessible on a gram scale. Moreover, the reactions only require 10–60 min. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines.</p></div
Labile Imidazolium Salt Protected Palladium Nanoparticles
An imidazolium (Im) salt with two
long alkyl substituents at N
atoms is employed to prepare cubelike palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs).
The bilayer nature of the capped Im salts is characterized by thermogravimetric
analysis and NMR studies. These capped Im salts are labile, as evidenced
by their displacement reaction with dimethylaminopyridine, and the
observation of fast exchange between those free and capped Im salts
on the NMR time scale. NMR results also show that these capped Im
salts exhibit different diffusion rates, and interesting spinning
rate dependent chemical shifts. These cubelike PdNPs could catalyze
the Suzuki coupling of aryl chlorides and boronic acids with high
yields in 10 min, even at room temperature
