- Oxidative kinetic resolution of heterocyclic sulfoxides with a porphyrin-inspired manganese complex by hydrogen peroxide
-
We have successfully reported here the low loading porphyrin-inspired high-valent manganese (IV)-oxo complex was applied in oxidative kinetic resolution (OKR) of racemic heterocyclic sulfoxides using the environmentally benign hydrogen peroxide for the first time. This approach allows for rapid OKR (0.5 h) of a variety of racemic sulfoxides (including pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, thiazole, benzothiazole, thiophene) in excellent enantioselectivity (up to > 99% ee), simultaneously generating the corresponding sulfones in high yield (up to 80%). The catalytic system also showed an unexceptionable chemoselectivity for the sulfoxide substrates with hydroxyl groups in which only the sulfoxide group was oxidized. The practical utility of the method has been demonstrated in the OKR of gram-scale sulfoxides.

- Highly Regioselective Bromination Reactions of Polymethylpyrimidines
-
4,5-Dimethyl- and 4,5,6-trimethyl-substituted pyrimidines are brominated at C5-Me with NBS in CCl4 and at C4(6)-Me with bromine in acetic acid to give the corresponding bromomethyl derivatives in a high yield.The remaining methyl group(s) can also be brominated with high regioselectivity.The 2-methylthio substituent is not oxidized under these conditions.

- Synthesis and anxiolytic activity of N-substituted cyclic imides (1R*,2S*3R*,4S*)-N-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-2,3-b icyclo[2.2.1]heptanedicarboxime (Tandospirone) and related compounds
-
A series of cyclic imides bearing a ω-(4-aryl and 4-heteroaryl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl moieties was synthesized and tested in vivo for anxiolytic activity. The in vitro binding affinities of these compounds were also examined for 5-HT(1A) receptor sites. Structure-activity relationships within these series are discussed. One of these compounds, (1R*,2S*,3R*,4S*)-N-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-2,3- bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanedicarboximide (1: tandospirone), was found to be equipotent with buspirone in its anxiolytic activity and more anxio-selective than buspirone and diazepam. Tandospirone (1) is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as a selective anxiolytic agent.
