A new general approach for the one-pot hydroaminomethylation of olefins using methylformate as formylating agent instead of synthesis gas (syngas) has been proposed. Herein we report that a Ru-Rh catalytic system demonstrates high activity in a tandem conversion of a series of n-alkenes into amines using methylformate with yields 58-92% (6 h). The selectivity for the normal amine reached 96% with catalysis by the Ru carbonyl complex Ru3(CO) 12, with an overall yield of 55% with respect to amine in this instance. The addition of the Rh complex to Ru catalytic system, sharply increased the hydroaminomethylation rate of both the terminal and internal alkenes and increased the yield of amines to 82-93% (6-12 h).

A new reactivity mode of hindered lithium amides with terminal epoxides is described whereby aldehyde enamines are produced via a previously unrecognized reaction pathway. Some of these aldehyde enamines display unprecedented C-alkylation reactivity toward unactivated primary and secondary alkyl halides. For comparison, the reactivity of aldehyde enamines synthesized via a traditional condensation method was examined. C-rather than N-alkylation was the dominant reaction pathway found with a range of electrophiles, making this route to α-alkylated aldehydes more synthetically useful than previously reported.

The development of "molecular rulers" would allow one to quantitatively locate intercalants within the liposomal bilayer. To this end, we have attempted to correlate the 13C NMR chemical shift of a polarizable "reporter" carbon (e.g., carbonyl) of the intercalant-with the ET(30) polarity it experiences, and with its Angstrom distance from the interface. This requires families of molecules with the same two "reporter carbons" separated by a fixed distance, residing at various depths/polarities within the bilayer. The families studied included 4,4-dialkylcyclohexa-2,5-dienones 1, benzenediacetic esters 15, benzenedipropionic esters 17, 4-alkoxybenzaldehydes 19 and methyl 4-alkoxybenzoates 22. These compounds possessed the following characteristics: (1) a planar backbone; (2) polar/hydrophilic "head" groups; (3) modular hydrophobic tails; (4) large changes in the 13C NMR chemical shift (Δδ) of the reporter atoms with solvent polarity. These studies revealed a fifth requirement, namely: (5) the reporter carbons must not be strongly conjugated, lest it reflect the charge build-up at another site within the conjugated system.

, p. 6870 - 6871 (2007/10/03)
A new reactivity mode of lithium amides with epoxides leads to hindered enamines. The reaction of some of these enamines with unactivated primary and secondary alkyl halides is described, which expands the range of electrophiles that one can use in the synthesis of mono-alkylated aldehydes.

Spirogermanium (1;8,8-diethyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-aza-8-germaspiro[4.5]decane-2-propanamin e dihydrochloride) is a potent cytotoxic agent in vitro which has demonstrated limited activity in experimental animal tumor models. Subsequently, it has been reported that spirogermanium has antiarthritic and suppressor cell-inducing activity. We have synthesized a series of substituted 8-hetero-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane and 9-hetero-3-azaspiro[5.5]undecane analogues of spirogermanium to identify the heteroatom requirements for in vivo antiarthritic and suppressor cell-inducing activity. This structure-activity relationship study has identified that appropriately substituted silicon and carbon analogues of spirogermanium retain both antiarthritic and immunosuppressive activity, with the 8,8-dipropyl (carbon) analogue being among the most active. Following the identification of N,N-dimethyl-8,8-dipropyl-2-azaspiro[4,5]decane-2-propanamine dihydrochloride (9) as more active analogue than spirogermanium, a series of 8,8-dipropyl analogues with various amine substituents were synthesized. A number of these analogues had activity similar to that of 9. A correlation between activity in the adjuvant arthritic rat and the ability to induce suppressor cells (r = 0.894, p0.001) suggests an association between the two pharmacologic effects. While the precise biochemical mechanism(s) for the pharmacological activity is unclear, these data suggest that compounds within this series, e.g., N,N-dimethyl-8,8-dipropyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-2-propanamine dihydrochloride, may provide effective therapy in diseases of autoimmune origin and/or the prevention of rejection in tissue transplantation.
