Tetrahydro-β-carboline (THBC) is a tricyclic ring system that can be found in a large number of bioactive alkaloids. Herein, we report a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of enantiopure THBCs through a chiral thiosquaramide (11b) catalyzed imine reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines (17a-f). The in situ generated Pd-H employed as hydride source in the reaction of differently substituted chiral THBCs (18a-f) afforded high selectivities (R isomers, up to 96% ee) and good isolated yields (up to 88%). Moreover, the chiral thiosquaramide used also afforded exceptional catalyst activity in the syntheses of (-)-coerulescine (5) and (-)-horsfiline (6) with excellent enantioselectivities up to 98% and 93% ee, respectively, via an enantioselective oxidative rearrangement approach.

N-acylation reaction offers an opportunity to develop an efficient synthesis of amide group-containing molecules. We found that N-acyl carbazoles showed remarkable selectivity in transamidation. Sterically less hindered primary amines are selectively acylated with N-acyl carbazoles without any additives. Various functional groups such as alcohol, phenol, indole, and aniline moieties are tolerated under mild conditions. The synthetic utility was displayed in one-pot synthesis of an N-acyl polyamine natural product. The terminal amines of spermidine were selectively benzoylated with N-benzoyl carbazole, followed by acetylation reaction accomplished the total synthesis in a highly efficient manner.
Characterization of arylalkylamine n-acyltransferase from tribolium castaneum: an investigation into a potential next-generation insecticide target

The growing issue of insecticide resistance has meant the identification of novel insecticide targets has never been more important. Arylalkylamine N-acyltransferases (AANATs) have been suggested as a potential new target. These promiscuous enzymes are involved in the N-acylation of biogenic amines to form N-acylamides. In insects, this process is a key step in melanism, hardening of the cuticle, removal of biogenic amines, and in the biosynthesis of fatty acid amides. The unique nature of each AANAT isoform characterized indicates each organism accommodates an assembly of discrete AANATs relatively exclusive to that organism. This implies a high potential for selectivity in insecticide design, while also maintaining polypharmacology. Presented here is a thorough kinetic and structural analysis of AANAT found in one of the most common secondary pests of all plant commodities in the world, Tribolium castaneum. The enzyme, named TcAANAT0, catalyzes the formation of short-chain N-acylarylalkylamines, with short-chain acyl-CoAs (C2-C10), benzoyl-CoA, and succinyl-CoA functioning in the role of acyl donor. Recombinant TcAANAT0 was expressed and purified from E. coli and was used to investigate the kinetic and chemical mechanism of catalysis. The kinetic mechanism is an ordered sequential mechanism with the acyl-CoA binding first. pH-rate profiles and site-directed mutagenesis studies identified amino acids critical to catalysis, providing insights about the chemical mechanism of TcAANAT0. A crystal structure was obtained for TcAANAT0 bound to acetyl-CoA, revealing valuable information about its active site. This combination of kinetic analysis and crystallography alongside mutagenesis and sequence analysis shines light on some approaches possible for targeting TcAANAT0 and other AANATs for novel insecticide design.

An efficient, simple, and metal-free synthetic approach for the N- and O-benzoylation of various amines/benzyl alcohols with pyridinium salts of phenacyl bromides is demonstrated to generate the corresponding amides and esters. This protocol facilitates the oxidative cleavage of a C–C bond followed by formation of a new C–N/C–O bond in the presence of K2CO3. Various pyridinium salts of phenacyl bromides can be readily transformed into a variety of amides and esters which is an alternative method for the conventional amidation and esterification in organic synthesis. High functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope and operational simplicity are the prominent advantages of the current protocol.
Base-Promoted Amidation and Esterification of Imidazolium Salts via Acyl C-C bond Cleavage: Access to Aromatic Amides and Esters

, p. 738 - 751 (2019/01/24)
Imidazolium salts have been effectively employed as suitable acyl transfer agents in amidation and esterification in organic synthesis. The weak acyl C(O)-C imidazolium bond was exploited to generate acyl electrophiles, which further react with amines and alcohols to afford amides and esters. The broad substrate scope of anilines and benzylic amines and base-promoted conditions are the benefits of this route. Interestingly, phenol, benzylic alcohols, and a biologically active alcohol can also be subjected to esterification under the optimized conditions.

In this paper, the synthesis of a novel imidazolium based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) containing imidazopyridine substitutes using a three-component reaction is described. This compound was immobilized on magnetic graphene oxide (GO) to make a heterogeneous catalyst for the direct aerobic amidation of benzaldehyde derivatives under solvent-free conditions, as well as the intra-and intermolecular cross dehydrogenative coupling of aldehydes. In addition, the catalytic activity of the NHC catalyst was homogeneously studied in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles under the same conditions, and showed good activity with lower yields than the heterogeneous catalyst.

In order to identify novel lead structures for human toll-like receptor 4 (hTLR4) modulation virtual high throughput screening by a peta-flops-scale supercomputer has been performed. Based on the in silico studies, a series of 12 compounds related to tryptamine was rationally designed to retain suitable molecular geometry for interaction with the hTLR4 binding site as well as to satisfy general principles of drug-likeness. The proposed compounds were synthesized, and tested by in vitro and ex vivo experiments, which revealed that several of them are capable to stimulate hTLR4 in vitro up to 25% activity of Monophosphoryl lipid A. The specific affinity of the in vitro most potent substance was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance direct-binding experiments. Moreover, two compounds from the series show also significant ability to elicit production of interleukin 6.

supporting information, p. 1526 - 1539 (2017/04/01)
We have discovered that 2,2-diazido acylacetates, a class of compounds with essentially unknown reactivity, can be coupled to amines through a new strategy that does not involve any reagents. 2,2-Diazido acetate is the unconventional leaving group under carbon–carbon bond cleavage. This reaction leads to the construction of amide bonds, tolerates various functionalities and is performed equally well in numerous solvents under experimentally simple conditions. We also demonstrate that the isolation of the 2,2-diazido acylacetate compounds can be circumvented: Acylacetates were easily fragmented when treated with (Bu4N)N3 and iodine in the presence of an amine at room temperature. By using this method, a broad range of acylacetates with various structural motifs were directly transformed into amides.
