We have developed a visible light-induced photo-redox copper-catalyzed oxidative Csp2-H annulation (Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization) of amidines with terminal alkynes at room temperature to synthesize functionalized quinazolines. We report copp

A selective mono-N-arylation strategy of amidines under Chan-Lam conditions is described. During the reaction optimization phase, the isolation of a mononuclear Cu(II) complex provided unique mechanistic insight into the operation of Chan-Lam mono-N-arylation. The scope of the process is demonstrated, and then applied to access the first mono-N-arylated analogues of pentamidine. Sub-micromolar activity against kinetoplastid parasites was observed for several analogues with no cross-resistance in pentamidine and diminazene-resistant trypanosome strains and against Leishmania mexicana. A fluorescent mono-N-arylated pentamidine analogue revealed rapid cellular uptake, accumulating in parasite nuclei and the kinetoplasts. The DNA binding capability of the mono-N-arylated pentamidine series was confirmed by UV-melt measurements using AT-rich DNA. This work highlights the potential to use Chan-Lam mono-N-arylation to develop therapeutic leads against diamidine-resistant trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis.

Novel and efficient base-mediated N-alkylation and amidation of amidines with alcohols have been developed, which can be carried out in one-pot reaction conditions, which allows for the synthesis of a wide range of N-alkyl amines and free amides in good to excellent yields with high atom economy. In contrast to borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer or oxidative-type N-alkylation reactions, in which alcohols are activated by transition-metal-catalyzed or oxidative aerobic dehydrogenation, the use of amidines provides an effective surrogate of amines. This circumvents the inherent necessity in N-alkylation of an oxidant or a catalyst to be stabilized by ligands.
