- Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydrogenative Transformation of Nitriles
-
Here, we report the transformation of nitrile compounds in a hydrogen atmosphere. Catalyzed by a cobalt/tetraphosphine complex, hydrogenative coupling of unprotected indoles with nitriles proceeds smoothly in a basic medium, yielding C3 alkylated indoles. In addition, the direct hydrogenation of nitriles under the same conditions yielded primary amines. Isotope labeling experiments, along with a series of control experiments, revealed a reaction pathway that involves nucleophilic addition of indoles and 1,4-reduction of a conjugate imine intermediate. Different from reductive alkylation of indoles under an acidic condition, E1cB elimination is believed to occur in this base-promoted hydrogenative coupling reaction.

- A State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous Catalyst for Efficient and General Nitrile Hydrogenation
-
Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.

- General and selective synthesis of primary amines using Ni-based homogeneous catalysts
-
The development of base metal catalysts for industrially relevant amination and hydrogenation reactions by applying abundant and atom economical reagents continues to be important for the cost-effective and sustainable synthesis of amines which represent highly essential chemicals. In particular, the synthesis of primary amines is of central importance because these compounds serve as key precursors and central intermediates to produce value-added fine and bulk chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Here we report a Ni-triphos complex as the first Ni-based homogeneous catalyst for both reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with ammonia and hydrogenation of nitroarenes to prepare all kinds of primary amines. Remarkably, this Ni-complex enabled the synthesis of functionalized and structurally diverse benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic linear and branched primary amines as well as aromatic primary amines starting from inexpensive and easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) and nitroarenes using ammonia and molecular hydrogen. This Ni-catalyzed reductive amination methodology has been applied for the amination of more complex pharmaceuticals and steroid derivatives. Detailed DFT computations have been performed for the Ni-triphos based reductive amination reaction, and they revealed that the overall reaction has an inner-sphere mechanism with H2metathesis as the rate-determining step.

- The Synthesis of Primary Amines through Reductive Amination Employing an Iron Catalyst
-
The reductive amination of ketones and aldehydes by ammonia is a highly attractive method for the synthesis of primary amines. The use of catalysts, especially reusable catalysts, based on earth-abundant metals is similarly appealing. Here, the iron-catalyzed synthesis of primary amines through reductive amination was realized. A broad scope and a very good tolerance of functional groups were observed. Ketones, including purely aliphatic ones, aryl–alkyl, dialkyl, and heterocyclic, as well as aldehydes could be converted smoothly into their corresponding primary amines. In addition, the amination of pharmaceuticals, bioactive compounds, and natural products was demonstrated. Many functional groups, such as hydroxy, methoxy, dioxol, sulfonyl, and boronate ester substituents, were tolerated. The catalyst is easy to handle, selective, and reusable and ammonia dissolved in water could be employed as the nitrogen source. The key is the use of a specific Fe complex for the catalyst synthesis and an N-doped SiC material as catalyst support.

- Cobalt-based nanoparticles prepared from MOF-carbon templates as efficient hydrogenation catalysts
-
The development of efficient and selective nanostructured catalysts for industrially relevant hydrogenation reactions continues to be an actual goal of chemical research. In particular, the hydrogenation of nitriles and nitroarenes is of importance for the production of primary amines, which constitute essential feedstocks and key intermediates for advanced chemicals, life science molecules and materials. Herein, we report the preparation of graphene shell encapsulated Co3O4- and Co-nanoparticles supported on carbon by the template synthesis of cobalt-terephthalic acid MOF on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis. The resulting nanoparticles create stable and reusable catalysts for selective hydrogenation of functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic nitriles, and as well as nitro compounds to primary amines (>65 examples). The synthetic and practical utility of this novel non-noble metal-based hydrogenation protocol is demonstrated by upscaling several reactions to multigram-scale and recycling of the catalyst.

- Generation of novel family of reductases from PCR based library for the synthesis of chiral alcohols and amines
-
Biocatalysis has shown tremendous potential in the synthesis of drugs and drug intermediates in the last decade. Screening of novel biocatalysts from the natural genome space is the growing trend to replenish the harsh chemical synthetic routes, commonly used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Here, we report a novel ketoreductase (KERD) and a nitrile reductase isolated from the PCR based library generated from the genome of Rhodococcus ruber and Bacillus subtilis, respectively. Both the proteins are hypothetical in nature as there is no putative homology found in the database, although both the enzymes have significant activity towards the synthesis of chiral alcohols and amines. Enzyme activity over a wide range of substrates (aromatic and aliphatic) for both the novel catalysts was observed. From the unique gene sequence to activity over a broad range of substrate and >99% conversion at higher concentrations (100 mM and above) entitles both the hypothetical enzymes as novel. The novel KERD has shown >99% selectivity for the synthesis of (S)-phenylethanol which makes it a potential candidate for industrial catalysis. The novel nitrile reductase has also shown promising activity for the synthesis of (R)-2-phenylethanolamine, which is a difficult moiety to synthesize chemically. In this report, starting from a homology based library, two highly potent whole cell biocatalysts are obtained.

- Sustainable organophosphorus-catalysed Staudinger reduction
-
A highly efficient and sustainable catalytic Staudinger reduction for the conversion of organic azides to amines in excellent yields has been developed. The reaction displays excellent functional group tolerance to functionalities that are otherwise prone to reduction, such as sulfones, esters, amides, ketones, nitriles, alkenes, and benzyl ethers. The green nature of the reaction is exemplified by the use of PMHS, CPME, and a lack of column chromatography.

- Selective synthesis of mono- and di-methylated amines using methanol and sodium azide as C1 and N1 sources
-
A Ru(ii) complex mediated synthesis of various N,N-dimethyl and N-monomethyl amines from organic azides using methanol as a methylating agent is reported. This methodology was successfully applied for a one-pot reaction of bromide derivatives and sodium azide in methanol. Notably, by controlling the reaction time several N-monomethylated and N,N-dimethylated amines were synthesized selectively. The practical applicability of this tandem process was revealed by preparative scale reactions with different organic azides and synthesis of an anti-vertigo drug betahistine. Several kinetic experiments and DFT studies were carried out to understand the mechanism of this transformation.

- Small Molecule Inhibitors Simultaneously Targeting Cancer Metabolism and Epigenetics: Discovery of Novel Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Dual Inhibitors
-
Cancer metabolism and epigenetics are among the most intensely pursued research areas in anticancer drug discovery. Here we report the first small molecules that simultaneously inhibit nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC), two important targets of cancer metabolism and epigenetics, respectively. Through iterative structure-based drug design, chemical synthesis, and biological assays, a highly potent dual NAMPT and HDAC inhibitor was successfully identified. Compound 35 possessed excellent and balanced activities against both NAMPT (IC50 = 31 nM) and HDAC1 (IC50 = 55 nM). It could effectively induce cell apoptosis and autophagy and ultimately led to cell death. Importantly, compound 35 showed excellent in vivo antitumor efficacy in the HCT116 xenograft model. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the feasibility of discovering an inhibitor targeting cancer metabolism and epigenetics and provides an efficient strategy for multitarget antitumor drug discovery.

- MOF-derived cobalt nanoparticles catalyze a general synthesis of amines

The development of base metal catalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds remains an important goal of chemical research. Here, we report that cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated by a graphitic shell are broadly effective reductive amination catalysts. Their convenient and practical preparation entailed template assembly of cobaltdiamine- dicarboxylic acid metal organic frameworks on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis under inert atmosphere.The resulting stable and reusable catalysts were active for synthesis of primary, secondary, tertiary, and N-methylamines (more than 140 examples).The reaction couples easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) with ammonia, amines, or nitro compounds, and molecular hydrogen under industrially viable and scalable conditions, offering cost-effective access to numerous amines, amino acid derivatives, and more complex drug targets.

- SYNTHESIS OF AMIDES AND AMINES FROM ALDEHYDES OR KETONES BY HETEROGENEOUS METAL CATALYSIS
-
This invention concerns the first mild and efficient synthesis of primary amines and amides from aldehydes or ketones using a heterogeneous metal catalystand amine donor. The initial heterogeneous metal- catalyzed reaction between the carbonyl and the amine donor components is followed up with the addition of a suitable acylating agent component in one-pot. Hence, the present invention provides a novel catalytic one-pot three-component synthesis of amides. Moreover, the integration of enzyme catalysis allows for eco-friendly one-pot co-catalytic synthesis ofamides from aldehyde and ketone substrates, respectively. The process can be applied to the co-catalytic one-pot three-component synthesis of capsaicin and its analogues from vanillin or vanillyl alcohol. It can also be applied for asymmetric synthesis. In the present invention, a novel co-catalytic reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution (dkr) relay sequence for the asymmetric synthesis of optically active amides from ketones is disclosed. Moreover, implementation of a catalytic reductive amination/kinetic resolution (kr) relay sequence produces the corresponding optically active amide product and optical active primary amine product with the opposite stereochemistry from the starting ketones.

- Integrated Heterogeneous Metal/Enzymatic Multiple Relay Catalysis for Eco-Friendly and Asymmetric Synthesis
-
Organic synthesis is in general performed using stepwise transformations where isolation and purification of key intermediates is often required prior to further reactions. Herein we disclose the concept of integrated heterogeneous metal/enzymatic multiple relay catalysis for eco-friendly and asymmetric synthesis of valuable molecules (e.g., amines and amides) in one-pot using a combination of heterogeneous metal and enzyme catalysts. Here reagents, catalysts, and different conditions can be introduced throughout the one-pot procedure involving multistep catalytic tandem operations. Several novel cocatalytic relay sequences (reductive amination/amidation, aerobic oxidation/reductive amination/amidation, reductive amination/kinetic resolution and reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution) were developed. They were next applied to the direct synthesis of various biologically and optically active amines or amides in one-pot from simple aldehydes, ketones, or alcohols, respectively.
