Ligand-Controlled Synthesis of Azoles via Ir-Catalyzed Reactions of Sulfoxonium Ylides with 2-Amino Heterocycles
An iridium-catalyzed method was developed for the synthesis of imidazo-fused pyrrolopyrazines. The presence or absence of a nitrogenated ligand controlled the outcome of the reaction, leading to simple β-keto amine products in the absence of added ligand and the cyclized 7- and 8-substituted-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazine products in the presence of ligand. This catalyst control was conserved across a variety of ylide and amine coupling partners. The substrate was shown to act as a ligand for the iridium catalyst in the absence of other ligands via NMR spectroscopy. Kinetic studies indicated that formation of the Ir-carbene was reversible and the slow step of the reaction. These mechanistic investigations suggest that the β-keto amine products form via an intramolecular carbene N-H insertion, and the imidazopyrrolopyrazines form via an intermolecular carbene N-H insertion.

Structure activity relationship studies of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives against cancer cell lines
Designed novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine based inhibitors, synthesized by condensing α-aminopyrazines with α-halocarbonyl compounds followed by electrophilic substitutions. Cytotoxic effects on four cancer cell lines evaluated. Based on preliminary data, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine template redesigned to improve activity.
