- Synthesis of Five-Membered Cyclic Guanidines via Cascade [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of α-Haloamides with Organo-cyanamides
-
The convenient preparation of N2-unprotected five-membered cyclic guanidines was achieved through a cascade [3 + 2] cycloaddition between organo-cyanamides and α-haloamides under mild conditions in good to excellent yields (up to 99%). The corresponding cyclic guanidines could be easily transformed into hydantoins via hydrolysis.

- A Straightforward Synthesis of N-Substituted Ureas from Primary Amides
-
A direct and convenient method for the preparation of N-substituted ureas is achieved by treating primary amides with phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA) in the presence of an ammonia source (NH 3 or ammonium carbamate) in MeOH. The use of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) as the solvent increases the electrophilicity of the hypervalent iodine species and allows the synthesis of electron-poor carboxamides. This transformation involves a nucleophilic addition of ammonia on the isocyanate intermediate generated in situ by a Hofmann rearrangement of the starting amide.

- Direct conversion of carboxylic acids to various nitrogen-containing compounds in the one-pot exploiting curtius rearrangement
-
Herein we report, a single-pot multistep conversion of inactivated carboxylic acids to various N-containing compounds using a common synthetic methodology. The developed methodology rendered the use of carboxylic acids as a direct surrogate of primary amines, for the synthesis of primary ureas, secondary/tertiary ureas, O/S-carbamates, benzoyl ureas, amides, and N-formyls, exploiting the Curtius reaction. This approach has a potential to provide a diversified library of N-containing compounds, starting from a single carboxylic acid, based on the selection of the nucleophile.

- Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 Nanoparticles in a Deep Eutectic Solvent: An Efficient and Recyclable Catalytic System for the Synthesis of Primary Carbamates and Monosubstituted Ureas
-
Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were used to synthesize various primary carbamates as well as monosubstituted and N,N-disubstituted ureas. This efficient phosgene-free process used urea as an eco-friendly carbonyl source in the presence of a biocompatible deep eutectic solvent (DES) to provide an inexpensive and attractive route that afforded the products in moderate to excellent yields. The employed DES serves both a catalytic role and as the green reaction medium. The magnetic nanocatalyst and DES can been reused several times without a significant loss of activity.

- Optimization of 5-arylidene barbiturates as potent, selective, reversible LSD1 inhibitors for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia
-
Histone lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in diverse hematologic disorders and recognized as a promising target for blood medicines. In this study, molecular docking-based virtual screening united with bioevaluation was utilized to identify novel skeleton of 5-arylidene barbiturate as small-molecule inhibitors of LSD1. Among the synthesized derivatives, 12a exhibited reversible and potent inhibition (IC50 = 0.41 μM) and high selectivity over the MAO-A and MAO-B. Notably, 12a strongly induced differentiation effect on acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cell line and distinctly escalated the methylation level on histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Our findings indicate that 5-arylidene barbiturate may represent a new skeleton of LSD1 inhibitors and 12a deserve as a promising agent for the further research.

- A practically simple, catalyst free and scalable synthesis of: N -substituted ureas in water
-
A practically simple, mild and efficient method is developed for the synthesis of N-substituted ureas by nucleophilic addition of amines to potassium isocyanate in water without organic co-solvent. Using this methodology, a variety of N-substituted ureas (mono-, di- and cyclic-) were synthesized in good to excellent yields with high chemical purity by applying simple filtration or routine extraction procedures avoiding silica gel purification. The developed methodology was also found to be suitable for gram scale synthesis of molecules having commercial application in large volumes. The identified reaction conditions were found to promote a unique substrate selectivity from a mixture of two amines.
