Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of β-amino alcohols by nitrene insertion

Chiral β-amino alcohols are important building blocks for the synthesis of drugs, natural products, chiral auxiliaries, chiral ligands and chiral organocatalysts. The catalytic asymmetric β-amination of alcohols offers a direct strategy to access this class of molecules. Herein, we report a general intramolecular C(sp³)–H nitrene insertion method for the synthesis of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones as precursors of chiral β-amino alcohols. Specifically, the ring-closing C(sp³)–H amination of N-benzoyloxycarbamates with 2 mol% of a chiral ruthenium catalyst provides cyclic carbamates in up to 99% yield and with up to 99% ee.The method is applicable to benzylic, allylic, and propargylic C–H bonds and can even be applied to completely non-activated C(sp³)–H bonds, although with somewhat reduced yields and stereoselectivities. The obtained cyclic carbamates can subsequently be hydrolyzed to obtain chiral β-amino alcohols. The method is very practical as the catalyst can be easily synthesized on a gram scale and can be recycled after the reaction for further use. The synthetic value of the new method is demonstrated with the asymmetric synthesis of a chiral oxazolidin-2-one as intermediate for the synthesis of the natural product aurantioclavine and chiral β-amino alcohols that are intermediates for the synthesis of chiral amino acids, indane-derived chiral Box-ligands, and the natural products dihydrohamacanthin A and dragmacidin A.

The steric-switched ipso-defluoroamination-triggered and ipso-defluorooxylation-triggered cyclization of(trifluoromethyl)alkenes with amino alcohols and diamines are achieved under mild conditions. This regioselective strategy distinguishes the different nucleophilic heteroatom sites in amino alcohols and unsymmetric diamines by the sequential defluorinative functionalization of two C(sp³)–F bonds in a CF₃ group. Various attractive monofluoroalkene-masked medium-sized heter...     

A nickel-iron layered double hydroxide-supported Au catalyst for efficient electrocatalytic C–C coupling reaction coupled with H2 production

Coupling of cathodic H)2 production with electrosynthesis of organic compounds not only solves the problem of sluggish oxygen evolution reaction(OER) kinetics, but also produces valuable chemicals. However, this strategy has rarely been explored for direct and selective C(sp³)–H activation to construct C–C bonds, which could significantly enhance the synthetic efficiency in organic synthesis. Here, we report a nickel-iron layered double hydroxide-supported gold catalyst(Au/NiFe-LDH) f...     

Regioselective introduction of vinyl trifluoromethylthioether to remote unactivated C(sp~3)–H bonds via radical translocation cascade

Described herein is an efficient protocol for the regioselective introduction of a vinyl trifluoromethylthioether to remote unactivated C(sp~3)–H bonds. The cascade process involves the vinyl radical-mediated 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer(HAT) and remote vinyl migration. During the transformation, inert C–H and C–C bonds are consecutively cleaved under mild conditions.The reaction features good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, and high regio-/stereo-selectivity.     

Multipurpose sulfoximine-mediated radical γ-heteroarylation of unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds

A conceptually novel, trifunctional sulfoximine-mediated γ-functionalization of unactivated C(sp³)–H bonds has been achieved.The reaction is initiated by the photo-induced homolytic cleavage of an N–S bond in the absence of photosensitizer, and proceeds sequentially through a cascade of 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer, 1,4-functional group migration, desulfoximination and a Minisci reaction. A major feature of this approach is the use of sulfoximine as a traceless directing group. Other po...     

Free amino group-directed C(sp2)–H arylation of α-amino-β-aryl esters by palladium catalysis

Native amino-directed palladium-catalyzed C(sp³)–H activation/functionalization has been developed for modification of α-amino acids and peptides. Herein a palladium(Ⅱ)-catalyzed C(sp²)–H arylation of α-amino-β-aryl esters has been disclosed, using the native amino as the directing group. A variety of chiralα-amino-β-aryl esters can be functionalized to give the corresponding ortho-substituted mono-and diarylated products.     

Transformations of N-arylpropiolamides to indoline-2,3-diones and acids via C≡C triple bond oxidative cleavage and C(sp^2)–H functionalization

A new palladium-catalyzed oxidative conversion of N-arylpropiolamides and H2O to various indoline-2,3-diones and acids through the C≡C triple bond cleavage and C(sp2)–H functionalization is described,which is promoted by a cooperative action of catalytic CuBr2,2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy(TEMPO)and O2.The method provides a practical tool for transformations of alkynes by means of a C–H functionalization strategy,which enables the formation of one C–C bond and multiple C–O bonds in a single reaction with high substrates compatibility and excellent functional group tolerance.     

Toward the most versatile fluorophore: Direct functionalization of BODIPY dyes via regioselective C–H bond activation

Fluorescent dyes are heavily sought for their potentials applications in bioimaging, sensing, theranostic,and optoelectronic materials. Among them, BODIPY dyes are privileged fluorophores that are now widely used in highly diverse research fields. The increasing success of BODIPY dyes is closely associated with their excellent and tunable photophysical properties due to their rich functionalization chemistry.Recently, growing research efforts have been devoted to the direct functionalization of the BODIPY core,because it allows the facile installation of desired functional groups in a single atom economical step. The challenges of this direct C–H derivation come from the difficulties in finding suitable functionalization agents and proper control of the regioselectivity of the functionalization. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of BODIPY dyes and a summarization of the different synthetic methodologies reported for direct C–H functionalization of the BODIPY framework.     

Catalytic transformation of cellulose and its derived carbohydrates into chemicals involving C–C bond cleavage

The catalytic transformation of cellulose, the major component of abundant and renewable lignocellulosic biomass, into building-block chemicals is a key to establishing sustainable chemical processes. Cellulose is a polymer of glucose and a lot research effort has been devoted to the conversion of cellulose to six-carbon platform compounds such as glucose and glucose derivatives through C–O bond activation. There also exist considerable studies on the catalytic cleavage of C–C bonds in biomass for the production of high-value chemicals, in particular polyols and organic acids such as ethylene glycol and lactic acid. This review article highlights recent advances in the development of new catalytic systems and new strategies for the selective cleavage of C–C bonds in cellulose and its derived carbohydrates under inert, reductive and oxidative atmospheres to produce C1–C5polyols and organic acids. The key factors that influence the catalytic performance will be clarified to provide insights for the design of more efficient catalysts for the transformation of cellulose with precise cleavage of C–C bonds to high-value chemicals. The reaction mechanisms will also be discussed to understand deeply how the selective cleavage of C–C bonds can be achieved in biomass.

Interaction of carbamazepine and promethazine in rabbits

The interaction of carbamazepine and promethazine in rabbits has been investigated. The influence of this interaction on the processes of biotransformation in the liver was revealed. The drugs were administered as single oral doses (100 mg of each drug) as well as simultaneously with an interval of 15 min. The sequence of administration of the drugs was varied. The influence of promethazine on the pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine is expressed by: (a) strong suppression of carbamazepine's level in plasma and appearance of multiple peaks of carbamazepine; (b) suppression of biotransformation of carbamazepine into carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide at the initial stages and its increase in the intermediate stages. These data are explained by the active capture of carbamazepine by liver at its primary transferal through the liver and sufficient presystem elimination of carbamazepine in the presence of promethazine. The character of kinetic curves of promethazine varies substantially under the influence of carbamazepine. However, this change is not as strong as in case of carbamazepine. The concentration of promethazine in plasma varies slightly and multiple peaks are not observed. The rate of terminal elimination of promethazine varies and abrupt prolonged segments of elimination appear at the initial and terminal stages of the process in return. These data perhaps indicate the induction of biotransformation of promethazine in the presence of carbamazepine-an inductor of microsomal liver enzymes. The changes of kinetics of promethazine and carbamazepine by simultaneous administration as compared with their administration separately, as well as a comparative consideration of pharmacokinetics of promethazine and carbamazepine by simultaneous administration show the existence of competition in the elimination between these drugs and the periodic saturation of liver for their biotransformation.     

Water-soluble polyelectrolyte complexes of pyridine-containing polyphenylene dendrimers

The sizes of soluble polyelectrolyte complexes formed through mixing of solutions of dimethyl sulfate-alkylated rigid pyridine-containing polyphenylene dendrimers of various generations with the solution of sodium polystyrenesulfonate are measured with the use of dynamic light scattering. Effects of the length of the polyanion chain of the dendrimer, the generation number of the dendrimer, and the charge ratio of polymer components on the sizes of the complexes are examined. The results of this study are in agreement with the theoretical analysis of interaction between the charged dendrimer and the polyelectrolyte of the opposite charge sign and suggest the spontaneous formation of nanosized particles of water-soluble complexes.

Virtual screening of organic molecule databases. Design of focused libraries of potential ligands of NMDA and AMPA receptors

A system of virtual screening of organic molecule databases is designed, which permits preprocessing of databases, molecular docking to a three-dimensional model of receptor, and post-processing of the results obtained. Using this screening system, it is possible to reproduce positions of the known ligands in the glutamate sites of the NMDA and AMPA receptors and in the glycine site of the NMDA receptor, to substantially enrich the database with potentially active compounds, and to distinguish between the agonistic and antagonistic character of the action of these compounds in the case of docking to the open and closed forms of the binding sites. Based on the results of screening of a database of low-molecular-weight organic compounds (total of 135,000 structures) using models of the open and closed forms of the glutamate and glycine sites of the NMDA receptor and of the glutamate site of the AMPA receptor, focused libraries of potential agonists and antagonists of these sites were designed.     

Micellar complexes of energy transfer

In micellar solutions of cationic surfactants the rate of oxidation and electrooxidation of luminol, quantum recovery of the fluorescence of anionic fluorescer, and the probability of electron excitation energy transfer are enhanced. Owing to these facts, the intensity of chemiluminescence and electrochemiluminescence of luminol in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and fluorescein is from 10 to 100 times higher compared with that of pure solutions free of surfactants.The intensity of the emitted radiation is proportional to the concentrations of micellar complexes, which allows the introduction of the idea of a complex of electron excitation energy transfer in which the excited oxidation product of luminol (aminophthalate ion) plays the role of the donor and the fluorescer the role of the acceptor of energy. The substrate-binding constants are of an order of magnitude of 10⁴ up to 10⁵M⁻¹.From the formal point of view, the intensity of chemiluminescence obeys the same laws as the kinetics of enzymatic and micellar catalysis, respectively.
