Research Activities
As supported by scientific papers, research activities have been focused on transition metal-catalyzed organic synthesis. Taking advantage of palladium, copper and gold catalysis, new efficient synthetic methods have been developed for the construction of a variety of polyfunctionalized molecules of biological interest, such as indoles, quinolones, carbazoles and benzodiazepine. These studies allowed the creation of several libraries of compounds that have been identified and characterized using the main spectroscopic techniques (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - NMR, Infrared Spacroscopy - FT-IR, and Mass Spectrometry- MS). Particularly, developed topics are:
1. Gold catalyzed assembly of heterocyclic rings
The studies carried out in this field have been allowed the development of the following synthetic approaches:
Synthesis of pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-2-ones and of pyrano[3,2-g]chromen-2-ones
Regioselective access to 10-substituted-2H,8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-2-ones through the gold-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation reaction of 7-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives at their C-8 position was investigated by tuning the electronic and steric properties of the ligand on the gold complex employed. On the other hand, the combination of the gold-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of 8-iodo-7-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives followed by selective palladium/formate C I reduction allows for the exclusive formation of 2H,8Hpyrano[3,2-g]chromen-2-one regioisomers. The development of these two protocols provides versatile synthetic tools required for exploring the biological activities of these new pyranocoumarin derivatives.
Synthesis of 1,5-Benzodiazepine derivatives
A new method for the preparation of 1,5 benzodiazepine bearing different substituent on the 2 and 4 position has been delveloped. Reaction proceeds through a domino hydroamination/cyclization process involving the use of o-phenylendiamine and propargilic alcohols.
Stereo- and regioselective synthesis of Z-enamines
Enamines are a class of valuable synthetic intermediates used for the preparation of different heterocyclic compounds. For this reason, it appeared of interest to study a new approach to their synthesis. This study allowed the development of a new and versatile method for the stereo- and regioselective conversion of 2-(arylethynyl) pyridines into the corresponding enamines in the presence of a gold catalyst and anilines. The reaction, which proceeds with moderate-to-excellent yields, significantly extends the scope of the hydroamination of unsymmetrical internal alkynes and tolerates a range of functional groups on alkynes.

2. Synthesis of nitrogen-containing polycylcic compounds
Palladium catalysis has been applied to develop new and selective approaches to the construction of a wide variety of functionalized indole-fused compound such as:
a) Dibenzo[a,c]carbazoles from 2-(2-bromoaryl)-3-arylindoles
This synthesis is based on an aminopalladation/reductive elimination reaction followed by an intermolecular C-H functionalizzation/C-C bond formation step. The process provides a new and versatile approach for the construction of the dibenzo [a, c] carbazole ring.
b) 12-(aryl) indolo [1,2 c]quinazolin-6(5H)-ones
The quinazolinone nucleus is a key constituent of many natural products. Due to their importance a great deal of attention has been devoted to developing new synthetic approach to this class of compounds. Particularly two main methodology have been described:
A palladium-catalyzed cascade approach in which, starting from the o-(o-aminophenylethyny)) trifluoroacetanilides, the aminoarylation of the triple bond with aryl iodides, aryl bromides and arendiazonium salts is followed by the cyclization of the resulting 3-arylindole.
The methodology is quite versatile and tolerates a variety of useful functional groups.
A palladium-catalyzed direct arylation process in which the 12-(aryl) indolo [1,2 c]quinazolin-6(5H)-ones are obtained through the direct arylation of N-benzyl and NH-free indolo [1,2 c]quinazolin-6(5H)-ones with aryl halides.
c) Indolo[1,2-c]quinazolines from 2-alkynylaniline derivatives
An efficient procedure for the preparation of 12-arylindolo[1,2-c]quinazolines from o-(o-aminophenylethynyl) trifluoroacetanilides and arylboronic acids, by avoiding the isolation of intermediate indoles has been reported. Starting from indoles, or from o-(o-aminophenylethynyl)aniline, selective formation of 12-unsubstituted[1,2-c]quinazolines was accomplished, without competitive formation of products derived from C-3 functionalization at the indole moiety.
3. Synthesis of novel heterocyclic compunds for antitumor activities
2-Substituted 3-aroylquinolin-4(1H)-ones, prepared through a palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of N-(2-iodoaryl)enaminones, proved to inhibit efficiently the Hedgehog pathway through direct antagonism of the wild-type and drug-resistant form of the Smoothened receptor. Notably, these compounds repressed the Hh-dependent growth events and the proliferation of tumor cells with aberrant activation of the Hh pathway, which plays a crucial role in development and tumorigenesis.
4. Synthesis of 2-(aminomethyl )indoles
Because of the importance of this class of compounds we decided to investigate for the construction of the 2- (aminomethyl)indole nucleus through different approaches:
a) Synthesis of 2-(aminomethyl)indoles through Cu-catalyzed reaction
Free NH 2-(aminomethyl)indoles have been prepared via copper-catalyzed cyclization of 3-(ortho- trifluoroacetamidophenyl)-1-propargylic alcohols in the presence of primary or secondary amines. The synthesis has been developed into a simple and very efficient domino three-component Sonogashira cross- coupling/cyclization/substitution process that, omitting the isolation of 3- (ortho-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)- 1-propargylic alcohols, provides access to this class of compounds by treating 2 iodotrifluoroacetanilides, propargylic alcohols, and primary or secondary amines with a copper/palladium catalyst system.
b) Synthesis of 2-(aminomethyl)indoles through a domino Pd-catalyzed three component approach
2-(Aminomethyl)-3-arylindoles have been synthesized through a domino Pd-catalyzed three-component approach from 3-(o-Trifluoroacetamido- ary1)-1-propargylic alcohols, aryl halides, and amines.

5. Copper catalyzed C-H Functionalization Processes
To this regard, we have developed a straightforward approach to the construction of the multisubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine skeleton from N-(2-pyridinyl)enaminones trough a copper catalyzed C-N bond forming reaction. The process may represent a useful alternative to known procedures that allow the synthesis of this heterocyclic nucleus present in a wide variety of biologically active natural compounds and commercially available synthetic drugs.
6. Reactivity of propargylic derivatives in palladium catalyzed reactions
Propargylic esters are versatile compounds that are known to undergo several synthetically useful Pd- catalyzed transformations. These studies have been focused on the reaction of propargylic carbonates with:
a) Meldrum s acid derivative that gives the SN2-like substitution product.
b) Secondary amines that provides access to 2-amino ketones.
7. Assembly and functionalization of indole nucleus through palladium-catalyzed processes
The indole nucleus is a key structural feature present in several biologically active natural compounds and in a wide range of pharmaceuticals. Because of this a great deal of effort has been devoted to its construction and functionalization by means of Pd-catalyzed processes.
8. Other topics
a) Synthesis of functionalized 2,3-dihydrofurans:an efficient palladium-catalyzed oxyarylation approach to 2,3-dihydrofurans from of allyl- -ketoesters has been developed b) Copper-catalyzed oxidation reactions: a novel copper-catalyzed approach to benzils from readily available deoxybenzoins under neutral conditions using air as oxidant has been developed. c) Pd-catalyzed aromatic sulfonilation: allylic sulfones are proved to be precursor of aryl sulfones via a domino sequence involving in situ generation of sulfinate anions and subsequent cross-coupling with aryl iodides or bromides d) Insights into the chemical stability of GANT61: the mechanism and the kinetic of hydrolysis of GANT61 (inhibitor of hedgehog signaling pathway) have been studied combining NMR spectroscopy, analytical studies, molecular modeling and functional assay in cells.
