A novel series of purine benzimidazole hybrids were designed and synthesized for the first time with the aim to circumvent the increasing antibiotic resistance. Hexyl appended hybrid 3c gave potent activities against most of the tested bacteria and fungi especially against multidrug-resistant strains Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 4 μg/mL). Structure-activity relationships revealed that the benzimidazole fragment at the 9-position of purine played an important role in exerting potentially antibacterial activity. Both cell toxicity and ROS generation assays indicated that the purine derivative 3c showed low cytotoxicity and could be used as a safe agent. Molecular modeling suggested that hybrid 3c could bind with the residues of Topo IA through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. Quantum chemical studies were also performed on the target compound 3c to understand the structural features essential for activity. The active molecule 3c could effectively interact with S. aureus DNA to form 3c–DNA complex through groove binding mode, which might block DNA replication to display their powerful antimicrobial activity.

A tetradentate nitrogen ligand containing a benzimidazole ring and an electron-rich pyridine ring was developed, the resulting manganese complex exhibited good activity in the C?H oxidation of simple alkanes. In particular, cyclic aliphatic alkanes were transformed into ketones in very good yields (up to 89 %) by using environmentally benign H2O2 as the terminal oxidant. This protocol was also applied successfully in benzylic C?H oxidation, giving the corresponding ketones with very good selectivities. In addition, tertiary C?H bond oxidation of complex molecules by the manganese complex showed potential utility for assembling alcohols with good selectivity in late-stage chemical synthesis.

A series of tetradentate sp2N/sp3N hybrid chiral N4 ligands derived from rigid chiral diamines were synthesized, which enabled the first manganese-catalyzed enantioselective epoxidation of electron-deficient alkenes with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant. The reaction furnishes enantiomerically pure epoxy amides, epoxy ketones as well as epoxy esters in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.9% ee) with lower catalyst loading. Preliminary studies on structure–activity relationship demonstrated that maintaining comparatively lower electron-donating ability of the sp3N and relatively higher electron-donating ability of sp2N of the N4 ligands is beneficial to getting higher activity and selectivity, thus providing us a new view to understand epoxidation with H2O2.
