Source of material

4–Hydroxybenzaldehyde (122 mg, 10 mmol), anhydrous potassium carbonate (276 mg, 2 mmol), 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (186 mg, 10 mmol) and anhydrous dichloromethane (15 mL) were added to a 50 ml round flask. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2–3 h. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified with ethyl acetate – petroleum ether (1:2, v/v) as eluent by silica gel chromatography column to obtain a light yellow solid (195 mg, yield 68%). The product was dissolved in 80% ethanol and recrystallized to get colourless transparent blocks.

Experimental details

H atoms were included in calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C–H distances constrained to 0.98 Å, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Comment

Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is one of the important targets for inhibiting tumor growth [5]. TrxR inhibitors inhibit the activity of TrxR and reduce the reduced Trx that is involved in the regulation of DNA synthesis, reduction of peroxide and apoptosis [6], thus lead to the death of tumor cells [7]. 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene is a reliable TrxR inhibitor [8]. In addition, some 2,4-dinitrophenyl ethers and 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonamides also exhibit TrxR inhibitory activity []. Therefore a series of 2,4-dinitrobenzene compounds were synthesized as TrxR inhibitors.

In the molecular structure of the title compound, there are two benzene rings. Bond lengths and angles are in the expected ranges [12]. The aldehyde group and the connected benzene ring are coplanar. At the same time, N atoms on the two nitro groups and the connected benzene ring are also coplanar, but the four O atoms on the two nitro groups are out of plane. The dihedral angle of the two benzene rings is 76.16(5)°.

The TrxR inhibitory activity of the title compound was determined by the TrxR activity detection kit. The results showed that the inhibition rate of the title compound against TrxR was 75.3(2.7) at 100 µM. Reports of the crystal structure are helpful to understand the mechanism of these 2,4-dinitrobenzene compounds and to develop more active 2,4-dinitrobenzene TrxR inhibitors.
