- Changing stereoselectivity and regioselectivity in copper(i)-catalyzed 5-: Exo cyclization by chelation and rigidity in aminoalkyl radicals: Synthesis towards diverse bioactive N-heterocycles
-
The work reveals that a chelate-Type interaction in the transition state of a β-Aminoalkyl radical in a copper(i)-catalyzed 5-exo-Trig radical cyclization step changes the usual stereochemistry of the NH-pyrrolidine ring predicted by the Beckwith-Houk transition state model. In contrast, the rigidity in the fused β-Aminoalkyl radical changes the Baldwin's predicted 5-exo to 6-endo cyclization mode, preferentially forming a piperidine ring over a pyrrolidine ring via a geometrically constrained transition state. The resultant diverse NH-pyrrolidines, pyrrolines and piperidines are sources of the bioactive natural product roseophilin and the drug Ritalin among others.

- Synthesis of Methylphenidate and Analogs Thereof
-
A synthetic process for the preparation of amino acid esters such as methylphenidate and analogs thereof is disclosed. The process involves reacting an amino acid such as α-phenyl-α-(2-piperidinyl)acetic acid or an analog thereof with an alcohol such as methanol in the presence of an acid and a water sequestrant such as trimethyl orthoacetate. In some embodiments, the water sequestrant is added to the reaction mixture after an initial period of esterification and then the reaction is allowed to continue. The α-phenyl-α-(2-piperidinyl)acetic acid methyl ester or analog thereof is then isolated from the reaction mixture. In one variation of the process, the supernatant liquid may be recycled in subsequent runs to increase yield and product purity.
