- Comparison of pyrazines formation in methionine/glucose and corresponding Amadori rearrangement product model
-
The generation of pyrazines in a binary methionine/glucose (Met/Glc) mixture and corresponding methionine/glucose-derived Amadori rearrangement product (MG-ARP) was studied. Quantitative analyses of pyrazines and methional revealed that MG-ARP generated more methional compared to Met/Glc, whereas lower content and fewer species of pyrazines were observed in the MG-ARP model. Comparing the availability of α-dicarbonyl compounds generated from the Met/Glc model, methylglyoxal (MGO) was a considerably effective α-dicarbonyl compound for the formation of pyrazines during MG-ARP degradation, but glyoxal (GO) produced from MG-ARP did not effectively participate in the corresponding formation of pyrazines due to the asynchrony on the formation of GO and recovered Met. Diacetyl (DA) content was not high enough to form corresponding pyrazines in the MG-ARP model. The insufficient interaction of precursors and rapid drops in pH limited the formation of pyrazines during MG-ARP degradation. Increasing reaction temperature could reduce the negative inhibitory effect by promoting the content of precursors.

- Design and characterization of a heterocyclic electrophilic fragment library for the discovery of cysteine-targeted covalent inhibitors
-
A fragment library of electrophilic small heterocycles was characterized through cysteine-reactivity and aqueous stability tests that suggested their potential as covalent warheads. The analysis of theoretical and experimental descriptors revealed correlations between the electronic properties of the heterocyclic cores and their reactivity against GSH that are helpful in identifying suitable fragments for cysteines with specific nucleophilicity. The most important advantage of these fragments is that they show only minimal structural differences from non-electrophilic counterparts. Therefore, they could be used effectively in the design of targeted covalent inhibitors with minimal influence on key non-covalent interactions.

- One-pot Suzuki-Heck relay to prepare industrially valuable intermediates using the Pd-Cy?Phine catalyst system
-
A rare example of a one-pot, palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Heck sequence has been developed with applicability to APIs and organoelectronic materials. High throughput screening was used to expedite development and survey strategies. Interchangeability of the coupling partners and the avoidance of intermediate isolation gives operational flexibility, which can be used to improve process efficiency and suppress by-product formation.

- Hydrazines and azides via the metal-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation of olefins
-
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equivalent to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic acid but are based on a different concept in which the H and the N atoms come from two different reagents, a silane and an oxidizing nitrogen source (azodicarboxylate or sulfonyl azide). The hydrohydrazination reaction using di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate is characterized by its ease of use, large functional group tolerance, and broad scope, including mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted olefins. Key to the development of the hydroazidation reaction was the use of sulfonyl azides as nitrogen sources and the activating effect of tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The reaction was found to be efficient for the functionalization of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins, and only a few functional groups are not tolerated. The alkyl azides obtained are versatile intermediates and can be transformed to the free amines or triazoles without isolation of the azides. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a rate-limiting hydrocobaltation of the alkene, followed by an amination reaction. Radical intermediates cannot be ruled out and may be involved.
