- Selective Catalytic Hydrogenations of Nitriles, Ketones, and Aldehydes by Well-Defined Manganese Pincer Complexes
-
Hydrogenations constitute fundamental processes in organic chemistry and allow for atom-efficient and clean functional group transformations. In fact, the selective reduction of nitriles, ketones, and aldehydes with molecular hydrogen permits access to a green synthesis of valuable amines and alcohols. Despite more than a century of developments in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, efforts toward the creation of new useful and broadly applicable catalyst systems are ongoing. Recently, Earth-abundant metals have attracted significant interest in this area. In the present study, we describe for the first time specific molecular-defined manganese complexes that allow for the hydrogenation of various polar functional groups. Under optimal conditions, we achieve good functional group tolerance, and industrially important substrates, e.g., for the flavor and fragrance industry, are selectively reduced.

- Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of N1-benzyl or N 1-benzyloxy-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines
-
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are generating a threat to public health worldwide. In the current study, a series of N1-benzyl and N 1-benzyloxy-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, and Mycobacterium smegmatis which is taxonomically related to M. tuberculosis. Most of the compounds exhibited good activity against M. smegmatis as determined by comparison of diameters of the zone of inhibition of test compounds and standard antibiotics. Compound 7o showed potent antimycobacterial activity against M. smegmatis without mammalian DHFR inhibition liability. The results from this study indicate that 1-benzyl derivatives of 1,6-dihydro-1,3,5- triazine-2,4-diamines may be used as lead compounds for the discovery of antimycobacterial agents.
