- Direct Synthesis of N,N-Dimethylated and β-Methyl N,N-Dimethylated amines from nitriles using methanol: Experimental and computational studies
-
Direct and selective synthesis of N,N-dimethylated amines from nitriles using methanol as C1 building blocks is reported using an air- and moisture-stable ruthenium complex. Following this process, various aromatic as well as aliphatic nitriles were converted to the corresponding N-methylated amines. Interestingly, tandem C-methylation as well as N-methylation was achieved by introducing multiple methyl groups. The practical aspect of this process was revealed by preparative-scale reactions with different nitriles and the synthesis of anti-allergic drug "avil". Several kinetic experiments and detailed DFT calculations were carried out to understand the mechanism of this process.

- Dual antitumor and antiangiogenic activity of organoplatinum(II) complexes
-
A library of over 20 cycloplatinated compounds of the type [Pt(dmba-R)LCl] (dmba-R = C,N-dimethylbenzylamine-like ligand; R being MeO, Me, H, Br, F, CF3, and NO2 substituents in the R5 or R4 position of the phenyl ring; L = DMSO and P(C6H4CF3-p)3) has been prepared. All compounds are active in both human ovarian carcinoma A2780 cells and cisplatin-resistant A2780cisR cells, with most of the DMSO platinum complexes exhibiting IC50 values in the submicromolar range in the A2780 cell line. Interestingly, DMSO platinum complexes show low cytotoxicity in the nontumorigenic kidney cell line BGM and therefore high selectivity factors SF. In addition, some of the DMSO platinum complexes effectively inhibit angiogenesis in the human umbilical vein endothelial cell line EA.hy926. These are the first platinum(II) complexes reported to inhibit angiogenesis at a close concentration to their IC50 in A2780 cells, turning them into dual cytotoxic and antiangiogenic compounds.

- Simple Amine-Directed Meta-Selective C-H Arylation via Pd/Norbornene Catalysis
-
Herein we report a highly meta-selective C-H arylation using simple tertiary amines as the directing group. This method takes advantage of Pd/norbornene catalysis, offering a distinct strategy to control the site selectivity. The reaction was promoted by commercially available AsPh3 as the ligand and a unique "acetate cocktail". Aryl iodides with an ortho electron-withdrawing group were employed as the coupling partner. A wide range of functional groups, including some heteroarenes, are tolerated under the reaction conditions. In addition, the amine directing group can be easily installed and transformed to other common versatile functional groups. We expect this C-H functionalization mode to have broad implications for developing other meta-selective transformations beyond this work.

- Asymmetric Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement of N-benzylic ammonium salts
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) [2,3] over [1,2]: The asymmetric Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement of an ammonium salt derived from N-benzylic proline-derived or N-benzylic glycine (-)-8-phenylmenthol ester is shown to proceed with remarkably high levels of stereoselectivity. The method provides unique and efficient access to optically active α-aryl amino acid derivatives.
