While the bisindole compounds were obtained when FeCl3 was used as a catalyst in excellent yields （up to 92%）. A possible mechanism was proposed.

Synthesis and Tumor Cytotoxicity of Novel N-Substituted Glucosamine-bearing Oleanolic Acid Derivatives

Eleven novel triterpenoid saponins,N-substituted-β-D-glucosaminide derivatives of oleanolic acid,were designed and synthesized via a stepwise glycosylation strategy.These compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against six different tumor cell lines.Most of the compounds inhibited the growth of,at least,one tumor cell line effectively at micromolar concentrations.Preliminary structure-activity relationships（SARs） indicate that acylation of the nitrogen of the glucosamine-bearing triterpenoid saponins affords the compounds that are highly cytotoxic towards specific tumor cell lines.

Alkali-metal hexamethyldisilazide initiated polymerization on alpha-amino acid N-substituted N-carboxyanhydrides for facile polypeptoid synthesis

Polypeptoids have been explored as mimics of polypeptides,owing to polypeptoids'superior stability upon proteolysis.Polypeptoids can be synthesized from one-pot ring-opening polymerization of amino acid N-substituted N-carboxyanhydrides(NNCAs).However,the speed of polymerization of NNCAs can be very slow,especially for NNCAs bearing a bulky N-substitution group.This hindered the exploration on polypeptoids with more diverse structures and functions.Therefore,it is in great need to develop advanced strategies that can accelerate the polymerization on inactive NNCAs.Hereby,we report that lithium/sodium/potassium hexamethyldisilazide(Li/Na/KHMDS)initiates a substantially faster polymerization on NNCAs than do commonly used amine initiators,especially for NNCAs with bulky N-substitution group.This fast NNCA polymerization will increase the structure diversity and application of polypeptoids as synthetic mimics of polypeptides.

Then a bifullerene glutamic acid conjugate （bFguC） was synthesized by reaction of mFgu containing protected amino group with N-substituted 3,4-fullero pyrrolidine.

Accelerated heterogenous ring-opening polymerization towards well-defined helical poly(N-allyl alanine)with clickable side chains

Well-defined poly(N-allyl alanine)has been synthesized by heterogenous ring-opening polymerization(HROP)of less reactive N-allyl-alanine N-carboxyanhydride,using acetic acid as the catalyst and benzylamine as the initiator,in non-polar n-hexane.Interestingly,the polymerization exhibited typical features of living polymerization though both monomer(liquid)and polymer(solid)have minimal solubility in n-hexane.The obtained polymer showed a stable helix structure independent of the temperatures screened,as evidenced by circular dichroism analysis.Also,the preliminary study demonstrated that the side chains can be post-functionalized through thiol-ene click chemistry with quantitative conversion.Together,this work provides guidance for the development of accelerated HROP of other liquid monomers bearing low reactivity.Besides,the helical and functionalizable poly(N-allyl alanine)could be a useful“clickable platform”for the design of variable biomaterials via efficient click chemistry.

Important Green Chemistry and Catalysis： Non-phosgene Syntheses of Isocyanates - Thermal Cracking Way

Currently, industrial production of isocyanates, or diisocyanates in particular, has been exclusively based on phosgene processes. Phosgene is extremely toxic and large amounts of corrosive HC1 are produced as a side product. In the view of environment protection and society safety, development of non-phosgene processes for isocyanates production will be highly desired, and this should be one of the most important missions for green chemistry and catalysis. In this review, efforts for development of non-phosgene method for syntheses of isocyanates, i.e., catalytic syntheses of N-substituted carbamates from nitro- or amino-compounds with CO, dimethyl carbonate （DMC）, urea and even CO2 etc. as carbonyl sources, then thermal cracking of N-substituted carbamates to afford corresponding i socyanates, are summarized, and a brief prospect for non-phosgene syntheses of isocyanates is also addressed.
