Application

4-Methoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid was used in the synthesis of:
  • BIPHEP-1-OMe [BIHEP= (2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl)], precatalyst for reductive coupling of butadiene to aldehydes
  • aniline mustard analogues, having potential anti-tumor activity

Exposure of alcohols 1a-1i to butadiene in the presence of a cyclometallated iridium catalyzed derived from allyl acetate, 4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid and BIPHEP (2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl) results in hydrogen transfer to generate aldehyde-allyliridium pairs, which engage in C-C coupling to form products of

Several aniline mustard analogues were obtained by introducing N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino moiety to phenyl ring of A10 analogues in order to increase reactivity of A10 analogs and selectivity into DNA. The in vitro antitumor activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated using five
