The conversion of carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acids, to amines is a transformation that remains challenging in synthetic organic chemistry. Despite the ubiquity of similar moieties in natural metabolic pathways, biocatalytic routes seem to have been overlooked for this purpose. Herein we present the conception and optimisation of a two-enzyme system, allowing the synthesis of β-phenylethylamine derivatives from readily-available ring-substituted cinnamic acids. After characterisation of both parts of the reaction in a two-step approach, a set of conditions allowing the one-pot biotransformation was optimised. This combination of a reversible deaminating and irreversible decarboxylating enzyme, both specific for the amino acid intermediate in tandem, represents a general method by which new strategies for the conversion of carboxylic acids to amines could be designed.

Selective functionalization at the meta position of arenes remains a significant challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that a single anionic bipyridine ligand bearing a remote sulfonate group enables selective iridium-catalyzed borylation of a range of common amine-containing aromatic molecules at the arene meta position. We propose that this selectivity is the result of a key hydrogen bonding interaction between the substrate and catalyst. The scope of this meta-selective borylation is demonstrated on amides derived from benzylamines, phenethylamines and phenylpropylamines; amine-containing building blocks of great utility in many applications.

A series of novel thiazolidinone derivatives have been synthesized by solventless condensation of N-alkylamines with arylaldehydes at room temperature followed by a microwave assisted solventless addition of thioglycollic acid to the resultant imines. The synthesized compounds are characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and X-ray techniques and one of the synthesized thiazolidinones has been evaluated for its antioxidant property.
