- Palladium-catalyzed ortho -selective C-H fluorination of oxalyl amide-protected benzylamines
-
A novel and efficient synthetic method for o-fluorobenzylamines via palladium catalyst using an easily accessible oxalyl amide as directing group has been developed. The cheap N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide could be used as an effective [F+] source and t-amyl-OH as the solvent with Pd(OAc)2 as catalyst. Selective mono- or difluorination of oxalyl amide-protected benzylamine derivatives were achieved by modifying the reaction conditions, which presented an efficient method for the preparation of ortho-fluorinated benzylamines.

- Generation of Oxidoreductases with Dual Alcohol Dehydrogenase and Amine Dehydrogenase Activity
-
The l-lysine-?-dehydrogenase (LysEDH) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus naturally catalyzes the oxidative deamination of the ?-amino group of l-lysine. We previously engineered this enzyme to create amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) variants that possess a new hydrophobic cavity in their active site such that aromatic ketones can bind and be converted into α-chiral amines with excellent enantioselectivity. We also recently observed that LysEDH was capable of reducing aromatic aldehydes into primary alcohols. Herein, we harnessed the promiscuous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity of LysEDH to create new variants that exhibited enhanced catalytic activity for the reduction of substituted benzaldehydes and arylaliphatic aldehydes to primary alcohols. Notably, these novel engineered dehydrogenases also catalyzed the reductive amination of a variety of aldehydes and ketones with excellent enantioselectivity, thus exhibiting a dual AmDH/ADH activity. We envisioned that the catalytic bi-functionality of these enzymes could be applied for the direct conversion of alcohols into amines. As a proof-of-principle, we performed an unprecedented one-pot “hydrogen-borrowing” cascade to convert benzyl alcohol to benzylamine using a single enzyme. Conducting the same biocatalytic cascade in the presence of cofactor recycling enzymes (i.e., NADH-oxidase and formate dehydrogenase) increased the reaction yields. In summary, this work provides the first examples of enzymes showing “alcohol aminase” activity.

- Method for preparing primary amine by catalyzing reductive amination of aldehyde ketone compounds
-
The invention discloses a method for preparing primary amine by catalyzing reductive amination of aldehyde ketone compounds. The method comprises the following steps: 1) mixing nickel nitrate hexahydrate, citric acid and an organic solvent, carrying out heating and stirring until a colloidal material is obtained, drying the colloidal material, roasting the colloidal material in a protective atmosphere, pickling, washing and drying a roasted product, and performing a partial oxidation reaction on a dried product in an oxygen-nitrogen mixed atmosphere to obtain a catalyst for a reductive amination reaction; and 2) mixing aldehyde or ketone compounds, a methanol solution of ammonia and the reductive amination reaction catalyst, introducing hydrogen, and carrying out a reductive amination reaction. The method has the advantages of high primary amine yield, high selectivity, wide aldehyde ketone substrate range, short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, low cost, greenness, economicalperformance and the like; the used reductive amination reaction catalyst can be recycled more than 10 times, and the catalytic activity of the catalyst is not obviously changed in gram-level reactions; and the method is suitable for large-scale application.

- Ultra-small cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly-defined Co-salen complexes for catalytic synthesis of amines
-
We report the synthesis of in situ generated cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly defined complexes as efficient and selective catalysts for reductive amination reactions. In the presence of ammonia and hydrogen, cobalt-salen complexes such as cobalt(ii)-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine produce ultra-small (2-4 nm) cobalt-nanoparticles embedded in a carbon-nitrogen framework. The resulting materials constitute stable, reusable and magnetically separable catalysts, which enable the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds and ammonia. The isolated nanoparticles also represent excellent catalysts for the synthesis of primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines including biologically relevant N-methyl amines.

- Highly Stable COF-Supported Co/Co(OH)2 Nanoparticles Heterogeneous Catalyst for Reduction of Nitrile/Nitro Compounds under Mild Conditions
-
Ordered nanoporosity in covalent organic framework (COF) offers excellent opportunity for property development. Loading nanoparticles (nPs) onto them is one approach to introducing tailor-made properties into a COF. Here, a COF–Co/Co(OH)2 composite containing about 16 wt% of 2 nPs is prepared on a N-rich COF support that catalyzes the release of theoretical equivalence of H2 from readily available, safe, and cheap NaBH4. Furthermore, the released H2 is utilized for the hydrogenation of nitrile and nitro compounds to amines under ambient conditions in a facile one-pot reaction. The COF “by choice” is built from “methoxy” functionalized dialdehydes which is crucial in enabling the complete retention of the COF structure under the conditions of the catalysis, where the regular Schiff bonds would have hydrolyzed. The N-rich binding pockets in the COF ensure strong nP–COF interactions, which provides stability and enables catalyst recycling. Modeling studies reveal the crucial role played by the COF in exposing the active facets and thereby in controlling the activation of the reducing agent. Additionally, via density functional theory, we provide a rational explanation for how these COFs can stabilize nanoparticles which grow beyond the limiting pore size of the COF and yet result in a truly stable heterogeneous catalyst – a ubiquitous observation. The study underscores the versatility of COF as a heterogeneous support for developing cheap and highly active nonnoble metal catalysts.

- Low-Pressure Hydrogenation of Nitriles to Primary Amines Catalyzed by Ruthenium Pincer Complexes. Scope and mechanism
-
The catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines constitutes an environmentally benign and atom-economical methodology in synthetic organic chemistry. However, selective hydrogenation can be challenging, and usually elevated pressure and the use of various additives is required. Herein the hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles to form primary amines catalyzed by ruthenium pincer complexes is described. The reactions are conducted at low H2 pressure, low catalytic loadings and, in case of a variety of benzonitriles, under neutral conditions and without any additives. Mechanistic insight is provided.

- Small Molecule Inhibitors Simultaneously Targeting Cancer Metabolism and Epigenetics: Discovery of Novel Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Dual Inhibitors
-
Cancer metabolism and epigenetics are among the most intensely pursued research areas in anticancer drug discovery. Here we report the first small molecules that simultaneously inhibit nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC), two important targets of cancer metabolism and epigenetics, respectively. Through iterative structure-based drug design, chemical synthesis, and biological assays, a highly potent dual NAMPT and HDAC inhibitor was successfully identified. Compound 35 possessed excellent and balanced activities against both NAMPT (IC50 = 31 nM) and HDAC1 (IC50 = 55 nM). It could effectively induce cell apoptosis and autophagy and ultimately led to cell death. Importantly, compound 35 showed excellent in vivo antitumor efficacy in the HCT116 xenograft model. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the feasibility of discovering an inhibitor targeting cancer metabolism and epigenetics and provides an efficient strategy for multitarget antitumor drug discovery.

- A method for the production of primary amines
-
The invention relates to the field of chemical industry and particularly relates to a method for preparing primary amine by using the raw materials including halogenated hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon alcohol sulfonate) and ammonia water (or formamide). The method comprises the following three steps: (1) imidization: 3,4-diarylfuran-2,5-diketone (I) reacts with ammonia (or formamide) and the like to obtain 3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (II); (2) N-hydrocarbylation: 3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (II) generates an N-hydrocarbylation reaction with halogenated hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon alcohol sulfonate) in the presence of alkali to obtain N-hydrocarbyl-3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (III); and (3) hydrolysis: N-hydrocarbyl-3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (III) is subjected to alkali hydrolysis to obtain primary amine and the generated 2,3-diaryl maleate is subjected to acid treatment and automatic ring closing to form 3,4-diaryl furan-2,5-diketone (I) which is subjected to imidization and directly applied to the N-hydrocarbylation reaction. The method provided by the invention has the characteristics that the 3,4-diaryl furan-2,5-diketone can be circularly used at a high recovery rate, the molar ratio of the raw materials is low, and the yield of the product primary amine is high.

-
A transaminase from Halomonas elongata and four mutants generated by an in silico-based design were recombinantly produced in E. coli, purified and applied to the amination of mono-substituted aromatic carbonyl-derivatives. While benzaldehyde derivatives were excellent substrates, only NO2-acetophenones were transformed into the (S)-amine with a high enantioselectivity. The different behaviour of wild-type and mutated transaminases was assessed by in silico substrate binding mode studies.

The catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines represents an atom-efficient and environmentally benign reduction methodology in organic chemistry. This has been accomplished in recent years mainly with precious-metal-based catalysts, with a single exception. Here we report the first homogeneous Co-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines. Several (hetero)aromatic, benzylic, and aliphatic nitriles undergo hydrogenation to the corresponding primary amines in good to excellent yields under the reaction conditions.

- New efficient substrates for semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/VAP-1 enzyme: Analysis by SARs and computational docking
-
Structure activity relationships for semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular adhesion protein-1 (SSAO/VAP-1) were studied using a library of arylalkylamine substrates, with the aim of contributing to the discovery of more efficient SSAO substrates. Experimental data were contrasted with computational docking studies, thereby allowing us to examine the mechanism and substrate-binding affinity of SSAO and thus contribute to the discovery of more efficient SSAO substrates and provide a structural basis for their interactions. We also built a model of the mouse SSAO structure, which provides several structural rationales for interspecies differences in SSAO substrate selectivity and reveals new trends in SSAO substrate recognition. In this context, we identified novel efficient substrates for human SSAO that can be used as a lead for the discovery of antidiabetic agents.

- Synthesis of Primary Amines: First Homogeneously Catalyzed Reductive Amination with Ammonia
-
(Matrix Presented) The synthesis of primary amines via reductive amination of the corresponding carbonyl compounds with aqueous ammonia is achieved for the first time with soluble transition metal complexes. Up to an 86% yield and a 97% selectivity for benzylamines were obtained in the case of various benzaldehydes by using a Rh-catalyst together with water-soluble phosphine and ammonium acetate. In the case of aliphatic aldehydes, a bimetallic catalyst based on Rh/Ir gave improved results.

- Turning the product selectivity of nitrile hydrogenation from primary to secondary amines by precise modification of Pd/SiC catalysts using NiO nanodots
-
The selectivity of supported metal catalysts is mainly determined by the active metallic component, and thus turning the selectivity to a completely different product is rarely achieved by modification of the catalysts. Hydrogenation of nitriles is an efficient and environmentally benign route for the synthesis of valuable amines, but it usually produces mixtures of primary, secondary and even tertiary amines. Herein we report that the selectivity of Pd/SiC catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitriles with H2 can be turned from primary to secondary amines by modification of NiO nanodots. In the modified catalysts, the NiO nanodots act as reactive sites to consume hydrogen radicals on the Pd surface, and thus prolong the lifetime of an imine intermediate that determines the product selectivity. Under mild conditions (30 °C, atmospheric H2), Pd/SiC and NiO-Pd/SiC catalysts exhibit high selectivity to primary (94%) and secondary (99%) amines, respectively.
