A one-pot/two-step bienzymatic asymmetric amination of secondary alcohols is disclosed. The approach is based on a sequential strategy involving the use of a laccase/TEMPO catalytic system for the oxidation of alcohols into ketone intermediates, and their following transformation into optically enriched amines by using transaminases. Individual optimizations of the oxidation and biotransamination reactions have been carried out, studying later their applicability in a concurrent process. Therefore, 17 racemic (hetero) aromatic sec-alcohols with different substitutions in the aromatic ring have been converted into enantioenriched amines with good to excellent selectivities (90-99% ee) and conversion values (67-99%). The scalability of the process was also demonstrated when two different amine donors were used in the transamination step, such as isopropylamine and cis-2-buten-1,4-diamine. Satisfyingly, both sacrificial amine donors can shift the equilibrium toward the amine formation, leading to the corresponding isolated enantioenriched amines with good to excellent results.

Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments containing such compounds, and methods of using such compounds to treat or prevent diseases or disorders associated with the enzyme ceramide galactosyltransferase (CGT), such as, for example, lysosomal storage diseases. Examples of lysosomal storage diseases include, for example, Krabbe disease and Metachromatic Leukodystrophy.

Tetrabutyl ammonium iodide (TBAI) catalyzed α-aminoxylation of ketones using aq. TBHP as an oxidant has been accomplished. We have shown that the CDC (cross dehydrogenative coupling) reactions of ketones with N-hydroxyimidates such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHSI), N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) lead to the corresponding oxygenated products in good to moderate yields. The application of this method has been demonstrated by transforming a few coupled products into synthetically useful intermediates and products.
Rhodium-catalyzed ortho acylation of aromatic carboxylic acids
Mamone, Patrizia,Danoun, Gregory,Goossen, Lukas J.

New directions: The carboxylic acid functional group directs the ortho acylation of benzoic acids with carboxylic anhydrides in the presence of a rhodium catalyst (see scheme; cod=cyclo-1,5-octadiene). The acylation at the ortho position is complementary to the meta selectivity of Friedel-Crafts reactions. The resulting products can undergo protodecarboxylation to deliver an aryl ketone. Copyright

supporting information; scheme or table, p. 2214 - 2217 (2010/08/06)
The N,N′-dioxide-Cu(OTf)2 complexes were applied in the asymmetric amination reaction of N-acetyl enamides with dialkyl azodicarboxylate, giving the corresponding products in good yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 91% ee). Precursors of vicinal diamine were readily obtained with excellent diastereoselectivities (>95:5) by NaBH4 reduction.

, p. 1 - 6 (2007/10/03)
A series of 2-amino-1-phenyl-1-propanols that are structurally related to known metabolites of bupropion, 1 (Wellbutrin) were synthesized and evaluated as potential anticonvulsants. The (R*,R*)-2-tert-butylamino-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) propanol 20 had an ED50 of 16.5 ± 2.8 mg/kg ip in mice in the maximal electroshock screen and was chosen for further evaluation.

, p. 85 - 94 (2007/10/02)
Some novel 2-methyl-3-aminopropiophenones were synthesized and their centrally acting muscle relaxant activities were,evaluated for an inhibitory effect on the flexor reflex in rats. The structure-activity relationships are discussed. In this series 2-methyl-3-pyrrolidino-1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-propan-1-one (28) showed significant centrally acting muscle relaxant activity. In addition, the activities of each enantiomer (28-(S) and (R)) were studied along with their acute toxicities. Compound 28-(R) was found to exhibit more potent activity and weaker acute toxicity than 28-(S). Accordingly, compound 28-(R) (NK433) is under development as a novel centrally acting muscle relaxant.
