- Solvent-Directed Epoxide Opening with Primary Amines for the Synthesis of β-Amino Alcohols
-
An efficient synthesis of β-amino alcohols from a variety of epoxides and primary unbranched amines in the absence of any catalyst in high yields and regioselectivities is reported. A variety of polar mixed solvent systems allow for the selective formation of secondary amino alcohols over tertiary amino alcohols. The reaction scope extends to a wide variety of aromatic and aliphatic substituted epoxides and primary amines bearing complex functionality.

- Lipase-catalyzed green synthesis of enantiopure atenolol
-
A new green route is proposed for the synthesis of enantiopure atenolol (a β1-blocker). An enzymatic kinetic resolution approach was used to synthesize the enantiopure intermediates (R)- and (S)-2-(4-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl)acetamide from the corresponding racemic alcohol. Of the commercially available lipases screened, Candida antarctica lipase-A (CLEA) showed maximum enantioselectivity in the transesterification of the racemic alcohol using vinyl acetate as the acyl donor. The reactions afforded the (S)-alcohol along with the (R)-acetate, with 48.9% conversion (E = 210, eeP = 96.9% and eeS = 91.1%). Various reaction parameters were optimized in order to achieve maximum enantioselectivity. N-alkylation of the (S)-alcohol with isopropylamine afforded the (S)-atenolol, and the (R)-acetate was chemically hydrolyzed to the corresponding alcohol and further converted to the (R)-atenolol via N-alkylation of the (R)-alcohol with isopropylamine. The use of ionic liquids, to solve the solubility related problems of the drug intermediates, made this process greener and more efficient compared to the previously reported methods. This journal is

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of racemic 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-[3- (substituted phenoxy)-2-hydroxy-1-propyl]amino-1-propanol hydrochlorides as novel uterine relaxants
-
Novel 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-[3-(substituted phenoxy)-2-hydroxy-1-propyl] amino-1-propanol hydrochlorides were designed based on the pharmacophore for potent uterine relaxant activity and by utilizing the principles of structural hybridization. The designed molecules were synthesized as racemates by a novel route and were evaluated for uterine relaxant activity in vitro on isolated rat uterus and in vivo in pregnant rats. Their cAMP-releasing potential was studied using rat uterus tissue homogenates by the cAMP [3H] assay, and cardiac stimulant potential was evaluated on isolated guinea pig right atrium. All compounds exhibited potent uterine relaxant activity in vitro and produced a significant delay in the onset of labour in pregnant rats; their cAMP-releasing potential was slightly less, while their cardiac stimulant potential was insignificant as compared to isoxsuprine hydrochloride.

- A synthesis of atenolol using a nitrile hydration catalyst
-
The synthesis of atenolol is described using a platinum containing homogeneous catalyst for the conversion of a nitrile to an amide. The catalytic reaction may be employed as the final step in the synthesis or in the preparation of the intermediate 4-hydroxyphenylacetamide. The structure of the nitrile intermediate, 1-(4′-cyanomethylphenoxy)-2-hydroxy-3-isopropylaminopropane, has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
