Focusing on chymotrypsin mimics, highly crosslinked enzyme mimics are synthesized by molecular imprinting technique for the amidolysis of p-nitroanilide of phenylalanine, using phenyl-1-(N-benzyloxycarbonylamino)-2-(phenyl)ethyl phosphonate - the transition state analog of amidolysis - as the template, N-methacryloyl-l-histidine, N-methacryloyl-l-aspartic acid, and N-methacryloyl-l-serine as the functional monomers and EGDMA as the crosslinking agent. The amidase activity of the enzyme mimics follows pseudo first order kinetics. The transition state analog provides a tetrahedral geometry complementary to the transition state intermediate, which is responsible for the catalytic activity of the imprinted enzyme mimics. The enzyme mimics show stereospecificity and substrate selectivity in the amidolysis of phenylalanine p-nitroanilide. The proper orientation of the reactive functionalities in the super crosslinked macroporous polymer matrix for selective binding of the substrate through H-bonding is responsible for the high imprinting efficiency and substrate specificity of the imprinted polymer catalysts. Low cost, ease of preparation, high thermal stability, reusability and higher shelf life make the polymer catalysts better chymotrypsin mimics.

A straightforward, mild and cost-efficient synthesis of various arylamides in water was accomplished using versatile benzotriazole chemistry. Acylation of various amines was achieved in water at room temperature as well as under microwave irradiation. The developed protocol unfolds the synthesis of amino acid aryl amides, drug conjugates and benzimidazoles. The environmentally friendly synthesis, short reaction time, simple workup, high yields, mild conditions and free of racemization are the key advantages of this protocol.
