Article Abstract

A practical and efficient protocol for one-pot synthesis of α-ketoamides has been developed through ligand-free copper-mediated using commercially available 2-bromo/chloro-2,2-difluorophenylethanones and primary amines as starting materials. The reaction exhibits moderate to good yields, broad functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies indicate a plausible pathway involving copper-mediated oxidative elimination in DMSO to generate a key acyl fluoride intermediate, which subsequently reacts with aniline to afford the corresponding ketoamide. Notably, this methodology has also been applied to the synthesis of potent PARP1 inhibitors successfully, demonstrating its potential for the efficient preparation of bioactive molecules.

Postoperative recurrence and infection remain major obstacles to effective breast cancer recovery, often driven by cholesterol-mediated macrophage dysfunction. Here, we report the development of CuMPmC, a multifunctional nanoplatform constructed through copper-dopamine chelation and self-polymerization, functionalized with mannose for selective targeting of M2-like macrophages, and loaded with cholesterol oxidase (ChOx). CuMPmC depletes macrophage membrane cholesterol via ChOx-mediated oxidation, enhancing plasma membrane fluidity and thereby promoting macrophage chemotaxis.

Copper-mediated intramolecular C(sp)-H amination of alicyclic amines: regio- and site-selective access to imidazolidin-4-one.

An efficient copper-mediated intramolecular C(sp)-H amination of alicyclic amine is developed. This amination protocol is performed under mild reaction conditions by using di--butyl peroxide (DTBP) as the oxidant, exhibiting a wide range of functional group tolerance and affording regio-selective products in up to 89% yield. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that a Cu(I)/Cu(III) reaction model is most likely to be involved in this C-H amination reaction.

Cuproptosis represents a novel form of mitochondria-dependent cell death, demonstrating a unique antitumor potential. However, tumor cells have evolved robust metabolic compensation mechanisms that mitigate the cytotoxic effects of copper ions; this barrier must be disrupted to trigger cuproptosis. In this study, a metallic metabolic nano-regulator (MC@BSA; MC, manganese-copper nanocomposite; BSA, bovine serum albumin) is designed, which efficiently accumulates in tumor tissues and disrupts copper homeostasis by inhibiting copper efflux and promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

A copper-mediated synthetic method for the incorporation of the 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl (CFCFH) group into unsaturated potassium organotrifluoroborate systems using the zinc 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethanesulfinate reagent has been developed. The HCFCF-radical, derived from (HCFCFSO)Zn using TBHP as an oxidant, combines with a copper-catalyst to promote the replacement of the BFK group on alkenes and alkynes. The reactions are carried out under ambient air, using mild and practical conditions.
