- Structural characterization and Hirshfeld surface analysis of racemic baclofen
-
The crystal structure of baclofen, (R,S) [4-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid], (C10H12ClNO2, Mr = 213.66) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) with a = 9.2704(5), b = 7.0397(4), c = 30.4015(15) ?, V = 1984.0(2) ?3 and Z = 8. The molecules exist as zwitterions, adopting a gauche conformation with respect to the Cα-Cβ bond, and held in a cross-linked chain arrangement by strong N-H?O hydrogen bonds and C-Cl?π interactions. The electrostatic molecular potential as well as the intermolecular interactions of the title compound were analyzed by the Hirshfeld surfaces. The FT-IR spectrum is also reported. The DTA, TG and DTG results indicate that baclofen is stable up to 205 °C.

- Photocatalysis Enables Visible-Light Uncaging of Bioactive Molecules in Live Cells
-
The photo-manipulation of bioactive molecules provides unique advantages due to the high temporal and spatial precision of light. The first visible-light uncaging reaction by photocatalytic deboronative hydroxylation in live cells is now demonstrated. Using Fluorescein and Rhodamine derivatives as photocatalysts and ascorbates as reductants, transient hydrogen peroxides were generated from molecular oxygen to uncage phenol, alcohol, and amine functional groups on bioactive molecules in bacteria and mammalian cells, including neurons. This effective visible-light uncaging reaction enabled the light-inducible protein expression, the photo-manipulation of membrane potentials, and the subcellular-specific photo-release of small molecules.

- Catalytic Intermolecular Carboamination of Unactivated Alkenes via Directed Aminopalladation
-
An intermolecular 1,2-carboamination of unactivated alkenes proceeding via a Pd(II)/Pd(IV) catalytic cycle has been developed. To realize this transformation, a cleavable bidentate directing group is used to control the regioselectivity of aminopalladation and stabilize the resulting organopalladium(II) intermediate, such that oxidative addition to a carbon electrophile outcompetes potential β-hydride elimination. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a broad range of nitrogen nucleophiles and carbon electrophiles are compatible coupling partners in this reaction, affording moderate to high yields. The products of this reaction can be easily converted to free ?3-amino acids and ?3-lactams, both of which are common structural motifs found in drug molecules and bioactive compounds. Reaction kinetics and DFT calculations shed light on the mechanism of the reaction and explain empirically observed reactivity trends.

- AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF BACLOFEN AND ITS INTERMEDIATE
-
The present invention provides an improved process for the preparation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3- cyanopropanoic acid (compound (A)) and further its transformation to Baclofen (I). The process comprises reaction of compound (II) with Glyoxylic acid to obtain 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3- cyanoacrylic acid (III); followed by the 'in- situ' reduction of (III) in the presence of a reducing agent to provide the compound (A). Alternatively, the compound (A) is obtained by the process comprising reacting 2-(4- chlorophenyl)acetonitrile (II) with haloacetic acid (IV) in the presence of a base. The compound 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-cyanopropanoic acid (A) undergoes hydrogenation in the presence of a metal catalyst and ammonia solution to provide Baclofen (I).

- Chemical assembly systems: Layered control for divergent, continuous, multistep syntheses of active pharmaceutical ingredients
-
While continuous chemical processes have attracted both academic and industrial interest, virtually all active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are still produced by using multiple distinct batch processes. To date, methods for the divergent multistep continuous production of customizable small molecules are not available. A chemical assembly system was developed, in which flow-reaction modules are linked together in an interchangeable fashion to give access to a wide breadth of chemical space. Control at three different levels - choice of starting material, reagent, or order of reaction modules - enables the synthesis of five APIs that represent three different structural classes (γ-amino acids, γ-lactams, β-amino acids), including the blockbuster drugs Lyrica and Gabapentin, in good overall yields (49-75%).

- β-Substituted γ-butyrolactams from mucochloric acid: Synthesis of (±)-baclofen and other γ-aminobutyric acids and useful building blocks
-
In the course of our exploration of the application of mucohalic acids in organic synthesis, we reported the synthesis of α,β-dihalo-α, β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactams by reductive amination of a suitable mucohalic acid and a suitable amine. However, the functionalization of the α- and/or β-halogen was found to be elusive under Suzuki conditions that worked well with the corresponding γ-lactones. Although the corresponding β-aryl derivative was obtained under some of the modified Suzuki conditions tried, the yields were found to be very low. Next, the Suzuki coupling was performed on mucochloric acid prior to the reductive amination step. By careful control of the reaction conditions, only β-substitution was achieved to yield the corresponding β-aryl mucochloric acid. This could then be converted to the corresponding β-substituted γ-butyrolactam by reductive amination with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine (DMB-NH2) followed by reduction by nickel boride and subsequent deprotection of the DMB group. The resulting γ-butyrolactam could either be alkylated or hydrolyzed resulting in the corresponding β-substituted γ-aminobutyric acid. This methodology was extended to synthesize (±)-baclofen in five steps starting from mucochloric acid.
