- Cobalt-Catalyzed Remote Hydroboration of Alkenyl Amines
-
We here present a generally applicable cobalt-catalyzed remote hydroboration of alkenyl amines, providing a practical strategy for the preparation of borylamines and aminoalcohols. This method shows broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, tolerating a series of alkenyl amines, including alkyl-alkyl amines, alkyl-aryl amines, aryl-aryl amines, and amides. Of note, this protocol is also compatible with a variety of natural products and drug derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that this transformation involves an iterative chain walking and hydroboration sequence.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Remote C(sp3)?H Borylation of Silyl Enol Ethers
-
A rhodium-catalyzed remote C(sp3)?H borylation of silyl enol ethers (SEEs, E/Z mixtures) by alkene isomerization and hydroboration is reported. The reaction exhibits mild reaction conditions and excellent functional-group tolerance. This method is compatible with an array of SEEs, including linear and branched SEEs derived from aldehydes and ketones, and provides direct access to a broad range of structurally diverse 1,n-borylethers in excellent regioselectivities and good yields. These compounds are precursors to various valuable chemicals, such as 1,n-diols and aminoalcohols.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of phthalide alkyl tertiary amine derivatives as promising acetylcholinesterase inhibitors with high potency and selectivity against Alzheimer's disease
-
A series of phthalide alkyl tertiary amine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential multi-target agents against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results indicated that almost all the compounds displayed significant AChE inhibitory and selective activities. Besides, most of the derivatives exhibited increased self-induced Aβ1-42 aggregation inhibitory activity compared to the lead compound DL-NBP, and some compounds also exerted good antioxidant activity. Specifically, compound I-8 showed the highest inhibitory potency toward AChE (IC50 = 2.66 nM), which was significantly better than Donepezil (IC50 = 26.4 nM). Moreover, molecular docking studies revealed that compound I-8 could bind to both the catalytic active site and peripheral anionic site of AChE. Furthermore, compound I-8 displayed excellent BBB permeability in vitro. Importantly, the step-down passive avoidance test indicated that I-8 significantly reversed scopolamine-induced memory deficit in mice. Collectively, these results suggested that I-8 might be a potent and selective AChE inhibitor for further anti-AD drug development.

- A virtual screening approach to identifying the greenest compound for a task: application to switchable-hydrophilicity solvents
-
A virtual or in silico screening approach makes it much easier to identify the molecular structure that best combines efficacy for a specific task with safety and minimum environmental or health impacts. In this approach, software is used to generate a larger number of possible molecular structures and then to use QSARs (quantitative structure-activity relationships) to predict properties related to performance, safety, health and environmental impact. The structures are then given scores on criteria (such as flash point or toxicity) and an overall score. The method identifies compounds that have high scores for the 3 performance criteria and 7 health, safety, and environmental criteria. This method allows for larger-scale and faster screening than can be performed using human intellect and a benchtop approach. The success of this approach is demonstrated by its application to the identification of new and possibly greener switchable-hydrophilicity solvents (SHS). Three SHS were identified using this method. This approach to molecular design is entirely modular and can be applied to the design of almost any type of chemical. However, limitations of the method include the fact that it does not take into consideration the health and environmental costs of manufacturing the chemical.

- Selective N-alkylation of amines using nitriles under hydrogenation conditions: Facile synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines
-
Nitriles were found to be highly effective alkylating reagents for the selective N-alkylation of amines under catalytic hydrogenation conditions. For the aromatic primary amines, the corresponding secondary amines were selectively obtained under Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. Although the use of electron poor aromatic amines or bulky nitriles showed a lower reactivity toward the reductive alkylation, the addition of NH4OAc enhanced the reactivity to give secondary aromatic amines in good to excellent yields. Under the same reaction conditions, aromatic nitro compounds instead of the aromatic primary amines could be directly transformed into secondary amines via a domino reaction involving the one-pot hydrogenation of the nitro group and the reductive alkylation of the amines. While aliphatic amines were effectively converted to the corresponding tertiary amines under Pd/C-catalyzed conditions, Rh/C was a highly effective catalyst for the N-monoalkylation of aliphatic primary amines without over-alkylation to the tertiary amines. Furthermore, the combination of the Rh/C-catalyzed N-monoalkylation of the aliphatic primary amines and additional Pd/C-catalyzed alkylation of the resulting secondary aliphatic amines could selectively prepare aliphatic tertiary amines possessing three different alkyl groups. According to the mechanistic studies, it seems reasonable to conclude that nitriles were reduced to aldimines before the nucleophilic attack of the amine during the first step of the reaction.

Quaternary ammonium alkyl esters and thioesters of acidic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are disclosed. These esters and thioesters display the anti--inflammatory profile of the parent NSAIDs with greatly reduced gastrointestinal irritancy, providing a more favorable separation of therapeutic activity and toxicological side effects than the parent NSAIDs.
