The structure-activity relationships were probed by substitution of the sulfonyl group, bridge and benzene ring. Among the sulfon- amides, difluoromethyl compound showed comparatively high activity and a broad spectrum to control weeds, including Echinochloa oryzicola. The most preferable substitution position on the benzene ring was in the 6-po- sition and the lower alkyl group showed high herbicidal activity and a broad weed control spectrum, and among the compounds tested, the methoxymethyl group was the best. In respect of the bridge moiety, the hydroxyl group was the best. Among the compounds examined, 2Ј-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)(hydroxy)methyl]-1,1- difluoro-6Ј-(methoxymethyl)methanesulfonanilide, applied at rates between 4 to 16 g a.i./ha, showed excellent pre-emergence herbicidal activity with a broad spectrum against grass, sedge and broadleaf weeds without injury to rice plants.

Hashmi, and Jin Xie* Cite This: https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrev.0c00841 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations ABSTRACT: Within the wide family of gold-catalyzed reactions, gold photocatalysis intrinsically features unique elementary steps. When gold catalysis meets photocatalysis, a valence change of the gold center can easily be achieved via electron transfer and radical addition, avoiding the use of stoichiometric sacrificial external oxidants. The excellent compatibility of radicals with gold catalysts opens the door to a series of important organic transformations, including redox-neutral C−C and C−X coupling, C−H activation, and formal radical−radical cross-coupling. The photocatalysis with gold complexes nicely complements the existing photoredox catalysis strategies and also opens a new avenue for gold chemistry. This review covers the achieved transformations for both mononuclear gold(I) catalysts (with and without a photosensitizer) and dinuclear gold(I) photocatalysts. Various fascinating methodologies, their value for organic chemists, and the current mechanistic understanding are discussed. The most recent examples also demonstrate the feasibility of both, mononuclear and dinuclear gold(I) complexes to participate in excited state energy transfer (EnT), rather than electron transfer. The rare applications of gold(III) photocatalysts, both homogeneous and heterogeneous, are also summarized. CONTENTS Authors AZ Notes AZ 1. Introduction A Biographies AZ 1.1.

  • Multidirectional Efficacy of Biologically Active Nitro Compounds Included in Medicines
    Review Multidirectional Efficacy of Biologically Active Nitro Compounds Included in Medicines Dorota Olender, Justyna Żwawiak * and Lucjusz Zaprutko Department of Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Faculty, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Grunwaldzka 6, 60-780 Poznan, Poland; [email protected] (D.O.); [email protected] (L.Z.) * Correspondence: e-mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-618-546-678 Received: 8 May 2018; Accepted: 25 May 2018; Published: 29 May 2018 Abstract: The current concept in searching for new bioactive products, including mainly original active substances with potential application in pharmacy and medicine, is based on compounds with a previously determined structure, well-known properties, and biological activity profile. Nowadays, many commonly used drugs originated from natural sources. Moreover, some natural materials have become the source of leading structures for processing further chemical modifications. Many organic compounds with great therapeutic significance have the nitro group in their structure. Very often, nitro compounds are active substances in many well-known preparations belonging to different groups of medicines that are classified according to their pharmacological potencies. Moreover, the nitro group is part of the chemical structure of veterinary drugs. In this review, we describe many bioactive substances with the nitro group, divided into ten categories, including substances with exciting activity and that are currently undergoing clinical trials. Keywords: nitro group; nitro compounds; drugs with the nitro group; veterinary medicines with the nitro group 1. Introduction Drugs exert a local action, or, after being absorbed into the body, a general effect. The chemical structure of the active substance is fundamental because of its therapeutic effect on the body.
