Despite the fact that continuous flow processing exhibits well-established technical advances, aqueous micellar chemistry, a field that has proven extremely useful in shifting organic synthesis to sustainable water-based media, has mostly been explored under conventional batch-based conditions. This is particularly because of the fact that the reliable handling of slurries and suspensions in flow has been considered as a significant technical challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that the strategic application of an oscillatory plug flow reactor enables heterogeneous catalytic reductive aminations in aqueous micellar media enhancing mass transport and facilitating process simplicity, stability and scalability. The micellar flow process enabled a broad range of substrates, including amino acid derivatives, to be successfully transformed under reasonably mild conditions utilizing only very low amounts of Pd/C as a readily available heterogeneous catalyst. The preparative capabilities of the process along with the recyclability of the heterogenous catalyst and the aqueous reaction media were also demonstrated. This journal is

The nuclear receptor retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt) is a transcription factor regulating Th17 cell differentiation and proliferation from naive CD4+ T cells. Since Th17 cells have demonstrated the antitumor efficacy by eliciting remarkable activation of CD8+ T cells, RORγt agonists could be applied as potential small molecule therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy. Based on the previously reported RORγt agonist 1 and its resolved co-crystal structure, a series of new tertiary amines were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated, yielding optimal moieties with improved chemical properties and biological responses. The combination of these optimal moieties resulted in identification of novel RORγt agonists such as 8b with further elevated RORγt agonism responses at a target-based level as well as in cell-based assays, which provided some structural knowledge for further optimization of RORγt agonists as small molecule therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy.

Palladium catalysts supported on acidic fluorinated magnesium hydroxide Pd/MgF2-x(OH)x were prepared through precipitation or impregnation methods. Applications to the hydrogenation of various aldimines and ketimines resulted in good catalytic activities at mild temperatures using one atmosphere of hydrogen. Quinolines, pyridines and other N-heterocycles were successfully hydrogenated at higher temperature and hydrogen pressure using low palladium loadings and without the use of any acid additive. Such reactivity trend confirmed the positive effect of the Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites from the fluorinated magnesium hydroxide support resulting in the effective pre-activation of N-heterocycle substrates and therefore in the good catalytic activity of the palladium nanoparticles during the hydrogenations. As demonstrated in the hydrogenation of imines, the catalyst was recycled up to 10 times without either loss of activity or palladium leaching. This journal is
