Periodic Reporting for period 1 - FLUNOVELTY (Development of novel fluorinated reagents for preparation of drugs.)

Periodo di rendicontazione: 2015-11-01 al 2016-10-31

Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The main objectives of Flunovelty project, performed at ESPCI (Paris, France) by Pavel Mykhailiuk with Prof. Janine Cossy, were to (a) develop the novel small fluorinated reagents; (b) to elaborate their novel reactions; and to (c) use this knowledge to discover novel synthetic approaches towards some known drugs.

In fact, during this project we discovered the novel chemical reagent: difluoromethyldiazomethane (CF2HCHN2), and elaborated its chemistry. In particular, we used this reagent to synthesize diversely substituted difluoromethylpyrazoles: the core structures of known argochemicals: Bixafen (Bayer), Sedaxane (Syngenta), Fluxapyroxad (BASF) and Isopyrazam (Syngenta).

In summaty, we have discovered a novel and cheaper approach to known agrochemicals. We believe that these methods will be finally implemented by agrochemical companies that will result in lowering the price of the corresponding pesticides, and eventually the food.

Report time: 01.11.2015-01.02.2016 (3 months)
During this time we have discovered the novel reactivity mode for CF3CHN2. We have performed the corresponding synthetic experiments and already written the manuscript (attached). In this work we have also synthesized an analogues of the known antibiotic - Ciprofloxacin. The manuscript has been already published in one of the the most prestigious chemistry journals - Organic Letters.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

In this part of the project we have already synthesized an analogue of the known antibacterial drug - Ciprofloxacin. We have tested its activity, and it is more potent over the known drug. Given the ongoing need of modern society on novel antibioticks (antibacterial resistence), we do belive that this finding might bright a huge impact to the pharmaceutical industry.

Also, we have discovered a novel achemical reagent - difluoromethyldiazomethane, - and used it to synthesize diverse difluoromethylated pyrazoles - the core of known argochemicals: Bixafen (Bayer), Sedaxane (Syngenta), Fluxapyroxad (BASF) and Isopyrazam (Syngenta). Hence, we we believe that this method will be finally implemented by agrochemical companies that will result in lowering the price of the corresponding pesticides, and finally the food.
