- Hydrosilylative reduction of primary amides to primary amines catalyzed by a terminal [Ni-OH] complex
-
A terminal [Ni-OH] complex1, supported by triflamide-functionalized NHC ligands, catalyzes the hydrosilylative reduction of a range of primary amides into primary amines in good to excellent yields under base-free conditions with key functional group tolerance. Catalyst1is also effective for the reduction of a variety of tertiary and secondary amides. In contrast to literature reports, the reactivity of1towards amide reduction follows an inverse trend,i.e., 1° amide > 3° amide > 2° amide. The reaction does not follow a usual dehydration pathway.

- N1H-and N1-Substituted Phenylguanidines as α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine (nACh) Receptor Antagonists: Structure-Activity Relationship Studies
-
We previously reported that N-(3-chlorophenyl)guanidine (1) represents a novel α7 nicotinic ACh (nACh) receptor antagonist chemotype. In the present study, a small series of compounds was synthesized with the intent to investigate the structure-Activity relationship (SAR). Preliminary data suggested that the N-methyl analog of 1, 2, was several times more potent. Therefore, the chloro group at the aryl 3-position of 1 and its N1-methyl counterpart 2 were replaced with a number of substituents considering the electronic, lipophilic, and steric nature of the substituents. The potencies of the compounds to inhibit acetylcholine (ACh)-induced responses were obtained in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing human α7 nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) using a two-electrode voltage-clamp assay. We found that the nature of the 3-position substituents had relatively little (i.e., 10-fold) effect on potency, and the presence of an N1-isopropyl substituent was tolerated. Here, we report the first SAR investigation of this novel α7 nAChR antagonist chemotype.

- High-throughput approach for the identification of anilinium-based ionic liquids that are suitable for electropolymerisation
-
We report the synthesis of new protic ionic liquids (PILs) based on aniline derivatives and the use of high-throughput (HT) techniques to screen possible candidates. In this work, a simple HT method was applied to rapidly screen different aniline derivatives against different acids in order to identify possible combinations that produce PILs. This was followed by repeating the HT process with a Chemspeed robotic synthesis platform for more accurate results. One of the successful combinations were then chosen to be synthesised on a larger scale for further analysis. The new PILs are of interest to the fields of ionic liquids, energy storage and especially, conducting polymers as they serve as solvents, electrolytes and monomers at the same time for possible electropolymerisation (i.e. a self-contained polymer precursor).

- A General, Selective, High-Yield N-Demethylation Procedure for Tertiary Amines by Solid Reagents in a Convenient Column Chromatography-like Setup
-
(Equation presented) A traditional preparative chromatographic column can be used to achieve quantitative N-demethylation of tertiary N-methylamines and alkaloids. The filling is the crucial part and is loaded with different solid reagents in three reaction zones. The parent compound is charged on the column, and the neat N-demethylated secondary amine leaves the column some minutes later.
