- Direct Catalytic Decarboxylative Amination of Aryl Acetic Acids
-
The decarboxylative coupling of a carboxylic acid with an amine nucleophile provides an alternative to the substitution of traditional organohalide coupling partners. Benzoic and alkynyl acids may be directly aminated by oxidative catalysis. In contrast, methods for intermolecular alkyl carboxylic acid to amine conversion, including amidate rearrangements and photoredox-promoted approaches, require stoichiometric activation of the acid unit to generate isocyanate or radical intermediates. Reported here is a process for the direct chemoselective decarboxylative amination of electron-poor arylacetates by oxidative Cu catalysis. The reaction proceeds at (or near) room temperature, uses native carboxylic acid starting materials, and is compatible with protic, electrophilic, and other potentially complicating functionality. Mechanistic studies support a pathway in which ionic decarboxylation of the acid generates a benzylic nucleophile which is aminated in a Chan–Evans–Lam-type process.

- High-Throughput Screening of Reductive Amination Reactions Using Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
-
This study describes the latest generation of a high-throughput screening system that is capable of screening thousands of organic reactions in a single day. This system combines a liquid handling robot with desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry (MS) for a rapid reaction mixture preparation, accelerated synthesis, and automated MS analysis. A total of 3840 unique reductive amination reactions were screened to demonstrate the throughputs that are capable with the system. Products, byproducts, and intermediates were all monitored in full-scan mass spectra, generating a complete view of the reaction progress. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments were conducted to verify the identity of the products formed. The amine and electrophile reactivity trends represented in the data match what is expected from theory, indicating that the system accurately models the reaction performance. The DESI results correlated well with those generated using more traditional mass spectrometry techniques like liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, validating the data generated by the system.

- New phenylaniline derivatives as modulators of amyloid protein precursor metabolism
-
The chloroquinoline scaffold is characteristic of anti-malarial drugs such as chloroquine (CQ) or amodiaquine (AQ). These drugs are also described for their potential effectiveness against prion disease, HCV, EBV, Ebola virus, cancer, Parkinson or Alzheimer diseases. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism is deregulated in Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, CQ modifies amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism by precluding the release of amyloid-beta peptides (Aβ), which accumulate in the brain of Alzheimer patients to form the so-called amyloid plaques. We showed that AQ and analogs have similar effects although having a higher cytotoxicity. Herein, two new series of compounds were synthesized by replacing 7-chloroquinolin-4-amine moiety of AQ by 2-aminomethylaniline and 2-aminomethylphenyle moieties. Their structure activity relationship was based on their ability to modulate APP metabolism, Aβ release, and their cytotoxicity similarly to CQ. Two compounds 15a, 16a showed interesting and potent effect on the redirection of APP metabolism toward a decrease of Aβ peptide release (in the same range compared to AQ), and a 3–10-fold increased stability of APP carboxy terminal fragments (CTFα and AICD) without obvious cellular toxicity at 100 μM.

- A Discriminating Protecting Group Strategy for Alcohols and Amines
-
The protection of alcohols and amines as O- and N-benzyl derivatives has long played a central role in organic synthesis.For case where the conventional method of benzylation under strongly base conditions is not applicable, we now describe an alternate method using phenyldiazomethane that proceeds under near-neutral conditions with HBF4 as a catalyst.O-Benzylation occurs at -40 deg C and works well on primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.The techique is compatible with ester, acetal, and relative halide functiolatities.Under the same conditions PhCHN2 also N-benzylates primary and secondary amines, albait more slowly.However S-benzylation is only marginally successful.As a consequence aminoalcohols like 2-hydroxymethylpiperidine can be O-benzylayed cleanly and in good yield.Thus HBF4-mediated benzylations using PhCHN2 achieve a kinetic selectivity not customarily possible in the standard Williamson ether synthesis.Preliminary experiments with other, substituted phenyldiazomethanes indicate the method can be extended to the production of substituted benzyl ethers and amines.

- Formic Acid Reduction. XXVIII. Kinetic Studies on the Formic Acid Reduction of 1,1'-Benzylidenedipiperidine
-
The formic acid reduction of 1,1'-benzylidenedipiperidine (1) was kinetically investigated by the carbon dioxide trapping method.Rate data gave the rate equation, v=kobs.The initial mono- and diprotonation of 1 occur in equilibrium, and monoprotonated form is proposed to be an intermediate for the reduction to 1-benzylpiperidine.The isotope effect value (2.69) and the negative ρ substituent effect (similar to that of the formic acid reduction of N-benzylideneaniline) suggest that the reduction of 1 involves the same intermediate step of decarboxylation of the formic acid ester of the α-amino alcohol.
