The combination of transition-metal catalysis and organocatalysis increasingly offers chemists opportunities to realize diverse unprecedented chemical transformations. By combining iridium with chiral thiourea catalysis, direct enantioselective reductive cyanation and phosphonylation of secondary amides have been accomplished for the first time for the synthesis of enantioenriched chiral α-aminonitriles and α-aminophosphonates. The protocol is highly efficient and enantioselective, providing a novel route to the synthesis of optically active α-functionalized amines from the simple, readily available feedstocks. In addition, the reactions are scalable and the thiourea catalyst can be recycled and reused.

The goal of this study was to design a ligand system which can accommodate single lanthanide(iii)-ions and investigate the properties of the resulting complexes. The complexes of all the accesible lanthanides and yttrium with the new ligand LH6 = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-ethylene-bis(5-bromo-3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)hydrazineylidene)-2-hydroxybenzylamine) were obtained in high yield at room temperature under aerobic reaction conditions. The corresponding compounds were characterised using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, elemental analysis and the optical properties of all complexes were investigated using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The air stable complexes efficiently transform biomass furfural to trans-4,5-cyclopentenones in high yield.

The diastereoselective conjugate addition of secondary homoallylamines, obtained in the enantioenriched form via allylmetallation of imines, to α,β-unsaturated esters is reported. This method allows access to valuable building blocks as well as heterocyclic skeletons, providing tertiary amines bearing two chains integrating a stereogenic center adjacent to the nitrogen atom.

The reversibility of imine bonds has been exploited to great effect in the field of dynamic covalent chemistry, with applications such as preparation of functional systems, dynamic materials, molecular machines, and covalent organic frameworks. However, acid catalysis is commonly needed for efficient equilibration of imine mixtures. Herein, it is demonstrated that hydrogen bond donors such as thioureas and squaramides can catalyze the equilibration of dynamic imine systems under unprecedentedly mild conditions. Catalysis occurs in a range of solvents and in the presence of many sensitive additives, showing moderate to good rate accelerations for both imine metathesis and transimination with amines, hydrazines, and hydroxylamines. Furthermore, the catalyst proved simple to immobilize, introducing both reusability and extended control of the equilibration process.

Octahydroepoxyisoindole analogues of norcantharidin were accessed through a Diels–Alder reaction of an amine-substituted furan with maleic anhydride and subsequent reduction of the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene olefin. Despite retention of the carboxylate and the ether bridgehead known to impart cytotoxic activity to norcantharidin, none of these analogues displayed notable cytotoxicity against the 11 cell lines examined: HT29 (colon), MCF-7 (breast), A2780 (ovarian), H460 (lung), A431 (skin), Du145 (prostate), BE2-C (neuroblastoma), SJ-G2 and U87 (glioblastoma), MIA (pancreatic), and SMA (spontaneous murine astrocytoma). The incorporation of an amino-substituted system post-synthesis of norcantharidin afforded facile access to 14 acid/amide-substituted norcantharidin analogues. Of these, only four displayed sufficient activity at the initial 25 μm compound screening dose to warrant full evaluation of growth inhibition. Common to these analogues was the presence of a 4-biphenyl moiety, and in particular 3-(2-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-3-(4-biphenylamino)-3-oxopropylcarbamoyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (13 c) and 3-(2-(pyrrole-2-ylmethyl)-3-(4-biphenylamino)-3-oxopropylcarbamoyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (24) displayed high levels of cytotoxicity, returning GI50 values of 15 nm (HT29) to 2.9 μm (U87) and 17 nm (SMA) to 2.8 μm (U87), respectively. These are the most cytotoxic norcantharidin analogues reported to date.

Primary amines are activated by copper(I)-based Lewis acid promoters in an A 3 -coupling one-pot solventless reaction with aldehydes and phenylacetylene for the synthesis of secondary propargylamines. The reaction is promoted by a CuSO 4 /NaI system, a practical precursor of the in situ generated effective CuI/I 2 system, that worked well, but only in a restricted number of examples. Substitution of I 2 with CeCl 3 ·7H 2 O in a one-pot two-step reaction provided good yields and a wider applicability, with the added value given by a safer procedure.

Herein, we broaden the application scope of (cyclo-pentadienone)iron complexes 1 in C=N bond reduction. The catalytic scope of pre-catalyst 1b, which is more active than the “Kn?lker complex” (1a) and other members of its family, has been expanded to the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of a wider range of aldimines and ketimines, either pre-isolated or generated in situ. The kinetics of 1b-promoted CTH of ketimine S1 were assessed, showing a pseudo-first order profile, with TOF = 6.07 h–1 at 50 % conversion. Moreover, the chiral complex 1c and its analog 1d were employed in the enantioselective reduction of ketimines and reductive amination of ketones, giving fair to good yields and moderate enantioselectivity.

A one-pot method for joining three separate components leading to an assortment of N-substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines is described. The method involves the addition of a Grignard reagent to an o-OBoc salicylaldehyde in the presence of an imine. With a variety of components, 15 examples are presented, including the diastereoselective incorporation of chiral imines.

trans-4,5-Diamino-cyclopent-2-enones (CP) are usually prepared by Lewis acid-catalyzed condensation of furfural and a secondary amine in an organic solvent. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a Stenhouse salt (SS) intermediate followed by an electrocyclization reaction to afford the desired CP. Herein, we described the use of Cu(OTf)2 as a very efficient catalyst for the synthesis of CP in water at room temperature. Furthermore, the mild reaction conditions, catalyst reusability, and outstanding functional group tolerance suggest that this CP platform can be further used in chemical biology.

A Ru0-catalyzed direct C-H arylation and alkenylation of furfural imines with aryl- or alkenyl-boronates, in the presence of benzylideneacetone as a sacrificial hydride acceptor, is disclosed. This reaction provides access, after hydrolysis, to C3-arylated or vinylated furfural derivatives, and thus valorizes these relevant building-blocks obtained from lignocellulosic biomass. This approach, involving C-H activation by a Ru0/RuII, cycle offers several advantages, notably simple, mild and neutral reaction conditions.
