Herein we present the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent and highly selective β-secretase 2 (memapsin 1, beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2, or BACE 2) inhibitors. BACE2 has been recognized as an exciting new target for type 2 diabetes. The X-ray structure of BACE1 bound to inhibitor 2 a {N3-[(1S,2R)-1-benzyl-2-hydroxy-3-[[(1S,2S)-2-hydroxy-1-(isobutylcarbamoyl)propyl]amino]propyl]-5-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-N1-[(1R)-1-phenylpropyl]benzene-1,3-dicarboxamide} containing a hydroxyethylamine isostere was determined. Based on this structure, a computational docking study was performed which led to inhibitor 2 a-bound BACE2 models. These were used to optimize the potency and selectivity of inhibitors. A systematic structure–activity relationship study led to the identification of determinants of the inhibitors’ potency and selectivity toward the BACE2 enzyme. Inhibitors 2 d [N3-[(1S,2R)-1-benzyl-2-hydroxy-3-[[(1S,2S)-2-hydroxy-1-(isobutylcarbamoyl)pentyl]amino]propyl]-N1-methyl-N1-[(1R)-1-phenylpropyl]benzene-1,3-dicarboxamide; Ki=0.031 nm, selectivity over BACE1: ≈174 000-fold] and 3 l [N1-((2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-4-((3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)amino)butan-2-yl)-N3,5-dimethyl-N3-((R)-1-phenylethyl)isophthalamide; Ki=1.6 nm, selectivity over BACE1: >500-fold] displayed outstanding potency and selectivity. Inhibitor 3 l is nonpeptide in nature and may pave the way to the development of a new class of potent and selective BACE2 inhibitors with clinical potential.
Nickel-Catalyzed Alkylation or Reduction of Allylic Alcohols with Alkyl Grignard Reagents

By choosing different phosphine ligands, nickel-catalyzed selective alkylation and reduction of allylic alcohols with alkyl Grignard reagents were performed. The reaction using Ni(dppe)Cl2 as the catalyst resulted in the cross-coupling of allylic alcohols with primary alkyl Grignard reagents and cyclopropylmagnesium bromide. The reaction catalyzed by the combination of Ni(PCy3)2Cl2 and dcype led to the reduction of allylic alcohols. Secondary alkyl Grignard reagents except cyclopropylmagnesium bromide always led to reduction of allylic alcohols using either Ni(dppe)Cl2 or Ni(PCy3)2Cl2/dcype as the catalyst. In the reductive reaction β-H-containing alkyl Grignard reagents were required.

Aromatic aldehydes react with ketones to produce (E)-1-aryl-1-alkenesvia a tandem Aldol-Grob cleavage reaction sequence. The reaction, initiated by boron trifluoride, also produces a carboxylic acid fragment.
