- Dehydrogenative and Redox-Neutral N-Heterocyclization of Aminoalcohols Catalyzed by Manganese Pincer Complexes
-
A new manganese catalyzed heterocyclization of aminoalcohols has been accomplished. A wide range of heterocycles were synthesized, including 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines, dihydroquinolinones, and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepines. The reaction is performed under mild reaction conditions using air and moisture stable manganese catalysts. The desired heterocycles were obtained in good to excellent yields.

- Discovery of tetrahydroquinolines and benzomorpholines as novel potent RORγt agonists
-
The retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) is an important nuclear receptor that regulates the differentiation of Th17 cells and production of interleukin 17(IL-17). RORγt agonists increase basal activity of RORγt and could provide a potential approach to cancer immunotherapy. Herein, hit compound 1 was identified as a weak RORγt agonist during in-house library screening. Changes in LHS core of 1 led to the identification of tetrahydroquinoline compound 6 as a partial RORγt agonist (max. act. = 39.3%). Detailed structure-activity relationship on substituent of the LHS core, amide linker and RHS arylsulfonyl moiety was explored and a novel series of tetrahydroquinolines and benzomorpholines was discovered as potent RORγt agonists. Tetrahydroquinoline compound 8g (EC50 = 8.9 ± 0.4 nM, max. act. = 104.5%) and benzomorpholine compound 9g (EC50 = 7.5 ± 0.6 nM, max. act. = 105.8%) were representative compounds with high RORγt agonistic activity in dual FRET assay, and they showed good activity in cell-based Gal4 reporter gene assay and Th17 cell differentiation assay (104.5% activation at 300 nM of 8g; 59.4% activation at 300 nM of 9g). The binding modes of 8g and 9g as well as the two RORγt inverse agonists accidentally discovered were also discussed.

- Boric acid catalyzed chemoselective reduction of quinolines
-
Boric acid promoted transfer hydrogenation of substituted quinolines to synthetically versatile 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (1,2,3,4-THQs) was described under mild reaction conditions using a Hantzsch ester as a mild organic hydrogen source. This methodology is practical and efficient, where isolated yields are excellent and reducible functional groups are well tolerated in the N-heteroarene moiety. The reaction parameters and tentative mechanistic pathways are demonstrated by various control experiments and NMR studies. The present work can also be scaled up to obtain gram quantities and the utility of the developed process is illustrated by the transformation of 1,2,3,4-THQs into a series of biologically important molecules including the antiarrhythmic drug nicainoprol.

- Ni0/Niδ+ Synergistic Catalysis on a Nanosized Ni Surface for Simultaneous Formation of C-C and C-N Bonds
-
Simultaneous formation of C-C/C-N bonds provides insight into the bottom-up synthesis of N-heterocycles. This work reports Ni0/Niδ+ synergistic catalysis on the surface of Ni nanoparticles for the highly efficient one-pot formation of C-C/C-N bonds, affording 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and its derivatives from 2-amino benzyl alcohol and ethanol without any addition of liquor base or external hydrogen. Ni0/Niδ+ synergistic catalysis has been achieved by regulating the Ni particle size or activating the Ni surface with O2. In the dehydrogenation of -CH2-OH to -CH=O, the formation of C==C and C=N bonds via concurrent cross-condensation, and the transformation of C=C/C=N to C-C/C-N via hydrogen transfer, ethanol dehydrogenation has been found to be the rate-determining step. Reducing the Ni particle size effectively increases the number of surface Niδ+ sites, which accelerates catalytic dehydrogenation through synergistic catalysis between surface Niδ+ and Ni0 sites. The number of surface Niδ+ sites can be further increased by appropriately activating the Ni surface with O2

- Homogeneous Hydrogenation with a Cobalt/Tetraphosphine Catalyst: A Superior Hydride Donor for Polar Double Bonds and N-Heteroarenes
-
The development of catalysts based on earth abundant metals in place of noble metals is becoming a central topic of catalysis. We herein report a cobalt/tetraphosphine complex-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of polar unsaturated compounds using an air- and moisture-stable and scalable precatalyst. By activation with potassium hydroxide, this cobalt system shows both high efficiency (up to 24 000 TON and 12 000 h-1 TOF) and excellent chemoselectivities with various aldehydes, ketones, imines, and even N-heteroarenes. The preference for 1,2-reduction over 1,4-reduction makes this method an efficient way to prepare allylic alcohols and amines. Meanwhile, efficient hydrogenation of the challenging N-heteroarenes is also furnished with excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies and control experiments demonstrated that a CoIH complex functions as a strong hydride donor in the catalytic cycle. Each cobalt intermediate on the catalytic cycle was characterized, and a plausible outer-sphere mechanism was proposed. Noteworthy, external inorganic base plays multiple roles in this reaction and functions in almost every step of the catalytic cycle.

- Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes Using Ethanol Catalyzed by a NCP Pincer Iridium Complex: Scope and Mechanism
-
The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium complex (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone has been developed for efficient, mild TH of unactivated C-C multiple bonds with ethanol, forming ethyl acetate as the sole byproduct. A wide variety of alkenes, including multisubstituted alkyl alkenes, aryl alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, as well as O- or N-containing heteroarenes and internal alkynes, are suitable substrates. Importantly, the (BQ-NCOP)Ir/EtOH system exhibits high chemoselectivity for alkene hydrogenation in the presence of reactive functional groups, such as ketones and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reaction with C2D5OD provides a convenient route to deuterium-labeled compounds. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that monosubstituted alkenes (e.g., 1-octene, styrene) and multisubstituted alkenes (e.g., cyclooctene (COE)) exhibit fundamental mechanistic difference. The OH group of ethanol displays a normal kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of styrene, but a substantial inverse KIE in the case of COE. The catalysis of styrene or 1-octene with relatively strong binding affinity to the Ir(I) center has (BQ-NCOP)IrI(alkene) adduct as an off-cycle catalyst resting state, and the rate law shows a positive order in EtOH, inverse first-order in styrene, and first-order in the catalyst. In contrast, the catalysis of COE has an off-cycle catalyst resting state of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)[O(Et)···HO(Et)···HOEt] that features a six-membered iridacycle consisting of two hydrogen-bonds between one EtO ligand and two EtOH molecules, one of which is coordinated to the Ir(III) center. The rate law shows a negative order in EtOH, zeroth-order in COE, and first-order in the catalyst. The observed inverse KIE corresponds to an inverse equilibrium isotope effect for the pre-equilibrium formation of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)(OEt) from the catalyst resting state via ethanol dissociation. Regardless of the substrate, ethanol dehydrogenation is the slow segment of the catalytic cycle, while alkene hydrogenation occurs readily following the rate-determining step, that is, β-hydride elimination of (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)(OEt) to form (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)2 and acetaldehyde. The latter is effectively converted to innocent ethyl acetate under the catalytic conditions, thus avoiding the catalyst poisoning via iridium-mediated decarbonylation of acetaldehyde.

- Design and synthesis of a metabolically stable and potent antitussive agent, a novel δ opioid receptor antagonist, TRK-851
-
We have previously reported on antitussive effect of (5R,9R,13S,14S)-17-cyclopropylmethyl-6,7-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-5′,6′-dihydro-3-methoxy-4′H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolino[2′,1′:6,7]morphinan-14-ol(1b) methanesulfonate (TRK-850), a selective δ opioid receptor antagonist which markedly reduced the number of coughs in a rat cough model. We designed TRK-850 based on naltrindole (NTI), a typical δ opioid receptor antagonist, to improve its permeability through the blood-brain barrier by introducing hydrophobic moieties to NTI. The ED50 values of NTI and compound 1b by intraperitoneal injections were 104 μg/kg and 2.07 μg/kg, respectively. This increased antitussive potency probably resulted from the improved brain exposure of compound 1b. However, 1b was extremely unstable toward metabolism by cytochrome P450. In this study, we designed and synthesized compound 1b derivatives to improve the metabolic instability, which resulted in affording highly potent and metabolically stable oral antitussive agent (5R,9R,13S,14S)-17-cyclopropylmethyl-6,7-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-8′-fluoro-5′,6′-dihydro-4′H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolino[2′,1′:6,7]morphinan-3,14-diol (1c) methanesulfonate (TRK-851).
