A selective and efficient methodology for the construction of either oxazolines or dihydrooxazines from the corresponding allyl-amides is reported. Bypassing the inherent selectivity of the cyclization and depending on the substitution pattern of the substrate, a selective epoxidation-cyclization was developed leading to either the five-membered or the six-membered ring, upon simple and complementary reaction conditions. The cyclization products were obtained in good to excellent yields and high selectivities. (Figure presented.).

Transaminase enzymes have significant potential for the sustainable synthesis of amines using mild aqueous reaction conditions. Here a metagenomics mining strategy has been used for new transaminase enzyme discovery. Starting from oral cavity microbiome samples, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were performed. Subsequent in silico mining of a library of contiguous reads built from the sequencing data identified 11 putative Class III transaminases which were cloned and overexpressed. Several screening protocols were used and three enzymes selected of interest due to activities towards substrates covering a wide structural diversity. Transamination of functionalized cinnamaldehydes was then investigated for the production of valuable amine building blocks.

The first interrupted asymmetric hydroaminomethylation reaction was developed. The challenging trans-1,2-disubstituted olefins were employed as substrates, and a series of valuable chiral pyrrolidinones and pyrrolidines were obtained in high yields with high regioselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities. Several synthetic transformations were conducted, demonstrating the high synthetic utility of our method. A creative route for the synthesis of vernakalant and Enablex was also developed.

A practical microwave-assisted protocol for the synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted pyrimidinones has been developed. This approach is based on a domino Michael addition-cyclocondensation reaction between substituted thioureas/guanidines and acetylenecarboxyla

The asymmetric chlorocyclization of unsaturated amides catalyzed by (DHQD)2PHAL yields oxazoline and dihydrooxazine derivatives (see scheme). The reaction is operationally simple and employs 1-2 mol % of the commercially available (DHQD)2PHAL (hydroquinidine 1,4-phthalazinediyl diether) catalyst. Different substitution patterns of the olefin as well as aromatic and aliphatic olefin substituents are well tolerated. DCDPH=N,N-dichloro-5,5-diphenylhydantoin. Copyright
Heck reaction of arenediazonium salts with N,N-diprotected allylamines. Synthesis of cinnamylamines and indoles
Cacchi, Sandro,Fabrizi, Giancarlo,Goggiamani, Antonella,Sferrazza, Alessio
, p. 1727 - 1730 (2011/05/03)
Novel palladium-catalyzed reactions of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with N,N-diprotected allylamines are presented. The reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with N,N-(Boc)2 allylamine allows for an easy approach to cinnamylamines whereas using 2-alkynyl-N-(allyl) trifluoroacetanilides and 2-iodo-N-(allyl)trifluoroacetanilide the reaction provides a useful tool for appending indole rings to aniline fragments.

Photochemical reactions are remarkable for their ability to easily assemble cyclobutanes and other strained ring systems that are difficult to construct using other conventional synthetic methods. We have previously shown that Ru(bpy)32+ is an efficient photocatalyst that promotes the [2+2] cycloadditions of electron-deficient olefins with visible light. Here, we show that Ru(bpy)32+ is also an effective photocatalyst for the [2+2] cycloaddition of electron-rich olefins. This transformation is enabled by the versatile photoelectrochemical properties of Ru(bpy) 32+, which enables either one-electron reduction or one-electron oxidation of interesting organic substrates under appropriate conditions.
