- Methyl-triflate-mediated dearylmethylation of: N -(arylmethyl)carboxamides via the retro-Mannich reaction induced by electrophilic dearomatization/rearomatization in an aqueous medium at room temperature
-
We have developed a protocol for the dearylmethylation of N-(arylmethyl)carboxamides under metal-free conditions in an aqueous medium at room temperature. This protocol involves methyl triflate-mediated successive C-C and C-N bond cleavages (retro-Mannich reaction) induced by electrophilic dearomatization/rearomatization. The dearomatization/rearomatization strategy can be expected to inspire the development of novel transformations based on the C-C bond cleavage in an environmentally benign manner.

- Discovery of tertiary amine and indole derivatives as potent RORγt inverse agonists
-
A novel series of tertiary amines as retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt) inverse agonists was discovered through agonist/inverse agonist conversion. The level of RORγt inhibition can be enhanced by modulating the conformational disruption of H12 in RORγt LBD. Linker exploration and rational design led to the discovery of more potent indole-based RORγt inverse agonists.

- Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed carbonylation of amines
-
A phosphine-free catalytic system [Pd(OAc)2-Cu(OAc) 2-air] induced a substrate-specific carbonylation of amines in boiling toluene under CO gas (1 atm). Symmetrical N,N′-dialkylureas were obtained by the carbonylation of primary amines. N,N,N′-Trialkylureas were selectively formed by addition of a secondary amine to the above reaction vessel. Secondary amines did not give tetraalkylureas. However, dialkylamines with a phenyl group on their alkyl chains, such as N-monoalkylated benzylic amine or phenethylamine derivatives, underwent a direct aromatic carbonylation to afford five- or six-membered benzolactams. In the carbonylation, the chelation effect or steric repulsion between Pd(II) and the meta-substituent in the ortho-palladation and the ring sizes of cyclopalladation products that were formed prior to carbonylation were found to generate good site selectivity and increase the reaction rate. In contrast, carbonylation of ω- arylalkylamines with a hydroxyl group gave neither ureas nor benzolactams but instead produced 1,3-oxazolidinones smoothly. Hydrochlorides of amines also underwent carbonylation to afford the corresponding amides under the conditions used. This procedure made it possible to prepare ureas of amino acid esters and N-alkylcarbamates in practical yields.

- Benzylamines: Synthesis and evaluation of antimycobacterial properties
-
The synthesis of benzylamines with various N-alkyl chains and substituents in the aromatic system as well as their evaluation on Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 Ra are described. The most active compounds in this test, N-methyl-3-chlorobenzylamine (MIC 10.2 μg/mL), N-methyl-3,5-dichlorobenzylamine (93, MIC 10.2 μg/mL), and N-butyl-3,5-difluorobenzylamine (MIC 6.4 μg/mL), also exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium lufu used for the determination of antileprotic properties. The combination of 93 with aminosalicylic acid, streptomycin, or dapsone exert marked supra-additive effects on M. tuberculosis H 37 Ra.
