- Parallel Synthesis of 1H-Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines via Condensation of N-Pyrazolylamides and Nitriles
-
A novel parallel medicinal chemistry (PMC)-enabled synthesis of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines employing condensation of easily accessible N-pyrazolylamides and nitriles has been developed. The presented studies describe singleton and library enablements that allowed rapid generation of molecular diversity to examine C4 and C6 vectors. This chemistry enabled access to challenging alkyl substituents, expanding the overall chemical space beyond that available via typical C(sp2)-C(sp2) coupling and SNAr transformations. Furthermore, monomer group interconversions allowing the use of larger and more diverse amides and carboxylic acids as precursors to nitriles are discussed.

- Metal-free approach for hindered amide-bond formation with hypervalent iodine(iii) reagents: application to hindered peptide synthesis
-
A new bio-inspired approach is reported for amide and peptide synthesis using α-amino esters that possess a potential activating group (PAG) at the ester residue. To activate the ester functionality under mild metal-free conditions, we exploited the facile dearomatization of phenols with hypervalent iodine(iii) reagents. Using a pyridine-hydrogen fluoride complex, highly reactive acyl fluoride intermediates can be successfully generated, thereby allowing for the smooth formation of sterically hindered amides and peptides from bulky amines and α-amino esters, respectively.

- Tropylium-promoted Ritter reactions
-
The Ritter reaction used to be one of the most powerful synthetic tools to functionalize alcohols and nitriles, providing valuableN-alkyl amide products. However, this reaction has not been frequently used in modern organic synthesis due to its employment of strongly acidic and harsh reaction conditions, which often lead to complicated side reactions. Herein, we report the development of a new method using salts of the tropylium ion to promote the Ritter reaction. This method works well on a range of alcohol and nitrile substrates, giving the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This reaction protocol is amenable to microwave and continuous flow reactors, offering an attractive opportunity for further applications in organic synthesis.

- Nickel-catalyzed transamidation of aliphatic amide derivatives
-
Transamidation, or the conversion of one amide to another, is a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Although notable progress has been made in the transamidation of primary amides, the transamidation of secondary amides has remained underdeveloped, especially when considering aliphatic substrates. Herein, we report a two-step approach to achieve the transamidation of secondary aliphatic amides, which relies on non-precious metal catalysis. The method involves initial Boc-functionalization of secondary amide substrates to weaken the amide C-N bond. Subsequent treatment with a nickel catalyst, in the presence of an appropriate amine coupling partner, then delivers the net transamidated products. The transformation proceeds in synthetically useful yields across a range of substrates. A series of competition experiments delineate selectivity patterns that should influence future synthetic design. Moreover, the transamidation of Boc-activated secondary amide derivatives bearing epimerizable stereocenters underscores the mildness and synthetic utility of this methodology. This study provides the most general solution to the classic problem of secondary amide transamidation reported to date.

- An Unconventional Reaction of 2,2-Diazido Acylacetates with Amines
-
We have discovered that 2,2-diazido acylacetates, a class of compounds with essentially unknown reactivity, can be coupled to amines through a new strategy that does not involve any reagents. 2,2-Diazido acetate is the unconventional leaving group under carbon–carbon bond cleavage. This reaction leads to the construction of amide bonds, tolerates various functionalities and is performed equally well in numerous solvents under experimentally simple conditions. We also demonstrate that the isolation of the 2,2-diazido acylacetate compounds can be circumvented: Acylacetates were easily fragmented when treated with (Bu4N)N3 and iodine in the presence of an amine at room temperature. By using this method, a broad range of acylacetates with various structural motifs were directly transformed into amides.

- Microwave-promoted direct amidation of unactivated esters catalyzed by heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids under solvent-free conditions
-
Abstract A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of amides directly from unactivated esters and amines catalyzed by heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids under microwave-promoted and solvent-free conditions has been reported. The practical protocol was found to be compatible with different structurally diverse substrates. Moderate to excellent yields, solvent-free media, and operational simplicity are the main highlights. Furthermore, the heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids were easily reusable for this amidation.

- Self-disproportionation of enantiomers of non-racemic chiral amine derivatives through achiral chromatography
-
Efficient self-disproportionation of enantiomers of several non-racemic chiral amines was achieved through conversion to N-acetamides and subsequent MPLC using an achiral column. The MPLC of these non-racemic N-acetamide derivatives gave the chart having a clear boundary between two fractions. Thus, in the less polar fraction, remarkable enantiomer enrichment was observed (>99%ee), while the ee of more polar fraction was considerably reduced. The magnitude of the enantiomer enrichments and depletions strongly depended on substituent on the amino group.

- Discovery of competing anaerobic and aerobic pathways in umpolung amide synthesis allows for site-selective amide18O-labeling
-
The mechanism of umpolung amide synthesis was probed by interrogating potential sources for the oxygen of the product amide carbonyl that emanates from the α-bromo nitroalkane substrate. Using a series of 18O-labeled substrates and reagents, evidence is gathered to advance two pathways from the putative tetrahedral intermediate. Under anaerobic conditions, a nitro-nitrite isomerization delivers the amide oxygen from nitro oxygen. The same homolytic nitro-carbon fragmentation can be diverted by capture of the carbon radical intermediate with oxygen gas (O2) to deliver the amide oxygen from O2. This understanding was used to develop a straightforward protocol for the preparation of 18O-labeled amides in peptides by simply performing the umpolung amide synthesis reaction under an atmosphere of 18O2.

- Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase: A useful biocatalyst for aminolysis reactions
-
The use of Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase (PSL) as a biocatalyst for aminolysis reactions with bulky substrates has been investigated. PSL compared favorably to Novozym 435 (immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B, NOV435) in the aminolysis of various bulky methyl esters and amines. While NOV435 demonstrated a higher rate of aminolysis with methyl 2-phenylpropionic acid as the acyl donor, PSL outperformed NOV435 with secondary amines as the nucleophile. Methanol inhibition and a low affinity for bulky acyl donors were found to be the two main reasons for relatively low rates in the PSL-catalyzed aminolysis reactions. It was demonstrated that the use of molsieve 4A had a significant effect on the aminolysis rate and amide yield, since it enabled the effective removal of the inhibiting methanol from the reaction mixture.

- Umpolung reactivity in amide and peptide synthesis
-
The amide bond is one of natureg€s most common functional and structural elements, as the backbones of all natural peptides and proteins are composed of amide bonds. Amides are also present in many therapeutic small molecules. The construction of amide bonds using available methods relies principally on dehydrative approaches, although oxidative and radical-based methods are representative alternatives. In nearly every example, carbon and nitrogen bear electrophilic and nucleophilic character, respectively, during the carbong€"nitrogen bond-forming step. Here we show that activation of amines and nitroalkanes with an electrophilic iodine source can lead directly to amide products. Preliminary observations support a mechanism in which the polarities of the two reactants are reversed (German, umpolung) during carbong€"nitrogen bond formation relative to traditional approaches. The use of nitroalkanes as acyl anion equivalents provides a conceptually innovative approach to amide and peptide synthesis, and one that might ultimately provide for efficient peptide synthesis that is fully reliant on enantioselective methods.

- 4,5,6,7-Tetrachlorobenzo[d][1,3,2]dioxaborol-2-ol as an effective catalyst for the amide condensation of sterically demanding carboxylic acids

4,5,6,7-Tetrachlorobenzo[d][1,3,2]dioxaborole (4a) and 4,5,6,7- tetrachlorobenzo[d][1,3,2]dioxaborol-2-ol (4b) are effective catalysts for the dehydrative amide condensation between an equimolar mixture of carboxylic acids and amines. In particular, these catalysts are greatly superior to 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (1) for the amide condensation of sterically demanding carboxylic acids. In contrast, 4c, which is prepared from a 1:2 molar mixture of B(OH)3 and tetrachlorocatechol, is effective as a Lewis acid-assisted Bronsted acid (LBA) catalyst for Ritter reaction.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of potential anticonvulsants based on 2-piperidinecarboxylic acid and related pharmacophores
-
Using N-(2,6-dimethyl)phenyl-2-piperidinecarboxamide (1) and N-(α-methylbenzyl)-2-piperidinecarboxamide (2) as structural leads, a variety of analogues were synthesised and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the MES test in mice. In the N-benzyl series, introduction of 3-Cl, 4-Cl, 3,4-Cl2, or 3-CF3 groups on the aromatic ring led to an increase in MES activity. Replacement of the α-methyl group by either i-Pr or benzyl groups enhanced MES activity with no increase in neurotoxicity. Substitution on the piperidine ring nitrogen led to a decrease in MES activity and neurotoxicity, while reduction of the amide carbonyl led to a complete loss of activity. Movement of the carboxamide group to either the 3- or 4-positions of the piperidine ring decreased MES activity and neurotoxicity. Incorporation of the piperidine ring into a tetrahydroisoquinoline or diazahydrinone nucleus led to increased neurotoxicity. In the N-(2,6-dimethyl)phenyl series, opening of the piperidine ring between the 1- and 6-positions gave the active norleucine derivative 75 (ED50 = 5.8 mg kg-1, TD50 = 36.4 mg kg-1, PI = 6.3). Replacement of the piperidine ring of 1 by cycloalkane (cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and cyclobutane) resulted in compounds with decreased MES activity and neurotoxicity, whereas replacement of the piperidine ring by a 4-pyridyl group led to a retention of MES activity with a comparable PI. Simplification of the 2-piperidinecarboxamide nucleus of 1 into a glycinecarboxamide nucleus led to about a six-fold decrease in MES activity. The 2,6-dimethylanilides were the most potent compounds in the MES test in each group of compounds evaluated, and compounds 50 and 75 should be useful leads in the development of agents for the treatment of tonic-clonic and partial seizures in man.
