A Short Approach to N -Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines from N -(2-Bromobenzyl)anilines via a Reductive Amination/Palladium-Catalyzed Ethoxyvinylation/Reductive N -Alkylation Sequence

N -Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines are obtained via a convenient and short protocol with a broad range of substituents on both aromatic rings and high functional group tolerance. Starting from readily available ortho -brominated aromatic aldehydes and primary aromatic amines, condensation of these building blocks under reductive conditions gives N -aryl 2-bromobenzylamines. The C-3/C-4-unit of the tetrahydroisoquinoline is introduced using commercially available 2-ethoxyvinyl pinacolboronate under Suzuki conditions. Finally, the obtained crude ortho -ethoxyvinyl benzylamines are cyclized via an intramolecular reductive amination using the combination of triethylsilane/TFA to give the desired N -aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Synthesis of N-benzyl-N-phenylthiophene-2-carboxamide analogues as a novel class of enterovirus 71 inhibitors

A series of novel human enterovirus 71 inhibitors, N-benzyl-N-phenylthiophene-2-carboxamide analogues, were synthesized and their antiviral activities were evaluated in vitro. Most derivatives of this structure against EV71 had a low micromolar range in the RD (rhabdomyosarcoma) cell lines. The most potent compound 5a, N-(4-bromobenzyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, showed low micromolar activity against EV71 (EC50 = 1.42 μM) compared to the reference anti-EV71 drug enviroxime (EC50 = 0.15 μM). Preliminary SAR studies revealed that the thiophene-2-carboxamide core is crucial for maintaining antiviral activity, and N-substituent phenyl groups largely influenced the anti-EV71 efficacy of this new class of potent antiviral agents.

Synthesis of N -arylisoindolin-1-ones via pd-catalyzed intramolecular decarbonylative coupling of N -(2-bromobenzyl)oxanilic acid phenyl esters

Ethyl and phenyl oxanilates were readily prepared from N-(2-bromobenzyl) anilines and oxalyl chloride monoethyl and monophenyl esters, respectively. It was found that the ethyl oxanilate survived in the presence of K 2CO3 in DMA at 120°C and underwent an intramolecular direct arylation using Pd(OAc)2-dppf, furnishing the 5,6-dihydrophenanthridine derivative. In contrast, the corresponding phenyl oxanilates decomposed upon exposure to K2CO3 in DMA at 120 C and were transformed into N-arylisoindolin-1-ones via Pd(OAc) 2-dppf-catalyzed intramolecular decarbonylative coupling. Except for the 4-methoxy-substituted oxanilic acid phenyl ester, other phenyl oxanilates possessing electron-withdrawing (NO2, Cl) and weak electron-donating (Me) substituents provided the N-arylisoindolin-1-ones in 43-80% yields.
