Three new series of methylsulfonyl-containing imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 8a-d, 9a-d and 10a-d were designed and synthesized. Characterization of the chemical structure of these new compounds was performed using spectral and elemental analyses. The synthesized derivatives were tested for their ability to inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 isozymes in addition to their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The pyrazoline derivative 9a possessed the highest selectivity index among all compounds regarding COX-2 isozyme (SI = 39) and was almost three folds higher than celecoxib (SI = 13.76) with good in vivo anti-inflammatory activity (% edema inhibition = 11.16–32.64). Compound 10c showed the highest inhibitory activity towards COX-2 isozyme (IC50 = 1.06 μM) and it was the most potent anti-inflammatory derivative (% edema inhibition = 15.04–42.35) with ED50 value of 69.46 μmol/Kg which was approximately one and a half fold more potent than celecoxib (ED50 = 104.88 μmol/Kg). Also, the most potent anti-inflammatory compounds 9a, 9d, 10c and 10d were subjected to ulcerogenic liability and histopathological examinations. Compounds 9d and 10c showed ulcerogenic liability (% ulcerated area = 0.07 and 0.01, respectively) and histopathological changes close to celecoxib. Finally, molecular docking and computational prediction of physicochemical parameters were performed for the prepared compounds to support the biological results.

A green and efficient visible-light induced functionalization of anilines under mild conditions has been reported. Utilizing nontoxic, cost-effective, and water-soluble diacetyl as photosensitizer and acetylating reagent, and water as the solvent, a variety of anilines were converted into the corresponding aryl ketones, iodides, and bromides. With advantages of environmentally friendly conditions, simple operation, broad substrate scope, and functional group tolerance, this reaction represents a valuable method in organic synthesis.

The two donor modules of an annelated pyridyl-mesoionic carbene ligand (aPmic) have different σ- and π-bonding characteristics leading to its electronic asymmetry. A Pd(II) complex 1 featuring aPmic catalyzes the oxidation of a wide range of terminal olefins to the corresponding methyl ketones in good to excellent yields in acetonitrile. The catalytic reaction is proposed to proceed via syn-peroxypalladation and a subsequent rate-limiting 1,2-hydride shift, which is supported by kinetic studies. The electronic asymmetry of aPmic renders a well-defined coordination sphere at Pd. The favored arrangement of reactants on the metal center features an olefin trans to the pyridyl module and a tbutylperoxide trans to the carbene. This arrangement gains added stability by the π-delocalization paved by the compatible orbitals on Pd, the pyridyl module, and the olefin that is perpendicular to the Pd(aPmic) plane. The π-interactions are absent in an alternate arrangement wherein the olefin is trans to the carbene. Density functional theory studies reveal the matching orbital overlaps responsible for the preferred arrangement over the other. This work provides an orbital description for the electronic asymmetry of aPmic.
