Hopkins, Megan D.; Ozmer, Garett L.; Witt, Ryan C.; Brandeburg, Zachary C.; Rogers, David A.; Keating, Claire E.; Petcoff, Presley L.; Sheaff, Robert J.; Lamar, Angus A. published their research in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry in 2021. The article was titled 《PhI(OAc)2 and iodine-mediated synthesis of N-alkyl sulfonamides derived from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon scaffolds and determination of their antibacterial and cytotoxic activities》.Reference of 4-Methylbenzenesulfonamide The article contains the following contents:
The development of new approaches toward chemo- and regioselective functionalization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) scaffolds will provide opportunities for the synthesis of novel biol. active small mols. that exploit the high degree of lipophilicity imparted by the PAH unit. Herein, new synthetic method for C-X bond substitution that is speculated to operate via a N-centered radical (NCR) mechanism according to exptl. observations was reported. A series of PAH sulfonamides have been synthesized and their biol. activity has been evaluated against Gram-neg. and Gram-pos. bacterial strains (using a BacTiter-Glo assay) along with a series of mammalian cell lines (using CellTiter-Blue and CellTiter-Glo assays). The viability assays have resulted in the discovery of a number of bactericidal compounds that exhibit potency similar to other well-known antibacterials such as kanamycin and tetracycline, along with the discovery of a luciferase inhibitor. Addnl., the physicochem. and drug-likeness properties of the compounds were determined exptl. and using in silico approaches and the results are presented and discussed within. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Methylbenzenesulfonamide(cas: 70-55-3Reference of 4-Methylbenzenesulfonamide)
4-Methylbenzenesulfonamide(cas: 70-55-3) belongs to anime. Left-handed and right-handed forms (mirror-image configurations, known as optical isomers or enantiomers) are possible when all the substituents on the central nitrogen atom are different (i.e., the nitrogen is chiral). With amines, there is extremely rapid inversion in which the two configurations are interconverted.Reference of 4-Methylbenzenesulfonamide
