- Highly enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines via cobalt(II)-catalyzed tandem 1,5-hydride transfer/cyclization
-
A chiral catalyst prepared from N,N′-dioxide and Co(BF 4)2·6H2O was applied in the asymmetric hydride transfer initiated cyclization reaction, giving optically active tetrahydroquinolines in good yields with high enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. Meanwhile, in light of the absolute configuration of the product, a possible working model was proposed to explain the origin of the activation and asymmetric induction.

- Efficient synthesis of new 4-arylideneimidazolin-5-ones related to the GFP chromophore by 2+3 cyclocondensation of arylideneimines with imidate ylides
-
A 2+3 condensation of a wide assortment of Schiff bases, prepared from aromatic aldehydes and primary amines, with methyl (1-ethoxyethylideneamino) acetate allows convenient access to an extensive family of substituted 4-arylideneimidazolin-5-one analogues of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore.

- A novel construction of 2-benzazepine scaffold based on TiCl 4-mediated tandem Mannich reaction - Aromatic electrophilic substitution
-
A novel construction of 2-benzazepine derivatives based on TiCl 4-mediated tandem Mannich reaction of electron-rich benzyl iminium ions with alkenyl ethers and Friedel - Crafts-type alkylation is described. The protocol is amenable to provide the tricyclic furo[3,2-d][2]benzazepine and pyrano[3,2-d][2]benzazepine derivatives, respectively, with 2,3-dihydrofuran or 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran as the substrates.

- Cholinesterase inhibitors: SAR and enzyme inhibitory activity of 3-[ω-(benzylmethylamino)alkoxy]xanthen-9-ones
-
In this work, we further investigated a previously introduced class of cholinesterase inhibitors. The removal of the carbamic function from the lead compound xanthostigmine led to a reversible cholinesterase inhibitors 3. Some new 3-[ω-(benzylmethylamino)alkoxy]xanthen-9-one analogs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The length of the alkoxy chain of compound 3 was increased and different substituents were introduced. From the IC50 values, it clearly appears that the carbamic residue is crucial to obtain highly potent AChE inhibitors. On the other hand, peculiarity of these compounds is the high selectivity toward BuChE with respect to AChE, being compound 12 the most selective one (6000-fold). The development of selective BuChE inhibitors may be of great interest to clarify the physiological role of this enzyme and to provide novel therapeutics for various diseases.
