We have established a facile and versatile synthetic methodology for the construction of tetrazoles and guanidines in the presence of an eco-friendly, inexpensive, easily available iron reagent. Aromatic thioureas with electron-donating substituents produced their respective target products in quantitative yield. In contrast, when electron-withdrawing substituted aromatic thioureas were used, the expected products were obtained in reduced yield. However, the desired products were obtained in good yield at moderate temperature. In addition, mechanistic studies revealed that the synthetic route involved iron-based subsequent reactions of addition and removal of sulfur.

A bio-inspired cascade reaction has been developed for the construction of the marine natural product ageladine A and a de novo array of its N1-substituted derivatives. This cascade features a 2-aminoimidazole formation that is modeled after an arginine post-translational modification and an aza-electrocyclization. It can be effectively carried out in a one-pot procedure from simple anilines or guanidines, leading to structural analogues of ageladine A that had been otherwise synthetically inaccessible. We found that some compounds out of this structurally novel library show a significant activity in modulating the neural differentiation. Namely, these compounds selectively activate or inhibit the differentiation of neural stem cells to neurons, while being negligible in the differentiation to astrocytes. This study represents a successful case in which the native biofunction of a natural product could be altered by structural modifications.

A new strategy for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzimidazol-6-ols via a reaction of quinones with guanidine derivatives is reported. Sequential application of this methodology provided a simple access to the first benzosceptrin analogue bearing a bis-2-aminoimidazole moiety. A concomitant addition of two guanidines to the naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]imidazo[1,2-a] pyrimidine-5,6-dione, which includes the redox neutral debenzylation and guanidine-assisted cleavage of the 2-aminopyrimidine part resulted in the synthesis of the free challenging contiguous bis-2-aminoimidazole moiety of benzosceprins in one step.
