The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), acting at the serotonin transporter (SERT), are one of the most widely prescribed antidepressant medications. All five approved SSRIs possess either fluorine or chlorine atoms, and there is a limited number of reports describing their analogs with heavier halogens, i.e., bromine and iodine. To elucidate the role of halogen atoms in the binding of SSRIs to SERT, we designed a series of 22 fluoxetine and fluvoxamine analogs substituted with fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine atoms, differently arranged on the phenyl ring. The obtained biological activity data, supported by a thorough in silico binding mode analysis, allowed the identification of two partners for halogen bond interactions: the backbone carbonyl oxygen atoms of E493 and T497. Additionally, compounds with heavier halogen atoms were found to bind with the SERT via a distinctly different binding mode, a result not presented elsewhere. The subsequent analysis of the prepared XSAR sets showed that E493 and T497 participated in the largest number of formed halogen bonds. The XSAR library analysis led to the synthesis of two of the most active compounds (3,4-diCl-fluoxetine 42, SERT Ki = 5 nM and 3,4-diCl-fluvoxamine 46, SERT Ki = 9 nM, fluoxetine SERT Ki = 31 nM, fluvoxamine SERT Ki = 458 nM). We present an example of the successful use of a rational methodology to analyze binding and design more active compounds by halogen atom introduction. ‘XSAR library analysis’, a new tool in medicinal chemistry, was instrumental in identifying optimal halogen atom substitution.

Rhodium-electrocatalyzed arene C?H oxygenation by weakly O-coordinating amides and ketones have been established by bimetallic electrocatalysis. Likewise, diverse dihydrooxazinones were selectively accessed by the judicious choice of current, enabling twofold C?H functionalization. Detailed mechanistic studies by experiment, mass spectroscopy and cyclovoltammetric analysis provided support for an unprecedented electrooxidation-induced C?H activation by a bimetallic rhodium catalysis manifold.

A one-pot sequential process consisting of nucleophilic substitution of the lithiated acetylides with Weinreb amides followed by a Michael reaction of the extruded N-methoxy-N-methylamine after quenching with saturated NH4Cl, provided β-enamino ketones in high yield and in a single geometrical isomeric form. It has been demonstrated that this method is applicable to a wide variety of such amides and to different acetylides.

[Bis(2-methoxyethyl)amino]sulfur Trifluoride, the Deoxo-Fluor Reagent: Application toward One-Flask Transformations of Carboxylic Acids to Amides
White, Jonathan M.,Tunoori, Ashok Rao,Turunen, Brandon J.,Georg, Gunda I.
, p. 2573 - 2576 (2007/10/03)
The use of the Deoxo-Fluor reagent is a versatile method for acyl fluoride generation and subsequent one-flask amide coupling. It provides mild conditions and facile purification of the desired products in good to excellent yields. We have explored the utility of this reagent for the one-flask conversion of acids to amides and Weinreb amides and as a peptide-coupling reagent.
