A catalytic protocol for the enantio- and diastereoselective reduction of α-substituted-β-keto carbonitriles is described. The reaction involves a DKR-ATH process with the simultaneous construction of β-hydroxy carbonitrile scaffolds with two contiguous stereogenic centers. A wide range of α-substituted-β-keto carbonitriles were obtained in high yields (94%-98%) and excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to >99% ee, up to >99:1 dr). The origin of the diastereoselectivity was also rationalized by DFT calculations. Furthermore, this methodology offers rapid access to the pharmaceutical intermediates of Ipenoxazone and Tapentadol.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted tremendous attention in the field of photocatalysis, owing to their superior optoelectronic properties for photocatalytic reactions, including high absorption coefficients and long photogenerated carrier lifetimes. Herein, by choosing 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-oxobutanenitrile as a model substrate, we demonstrate that the stereoselective (>99 %) C?C oxidative coupling reaction can be realized with a high product yield (99 %) using zwitterionic ligand capped CsPbBr3 perovskite QDs under visible light illumination. The reaction can be generalized to different starting materials with various substituents on the phenyl ring and varied functional moieties, producing stereoselective dl-isomers. A radical mediated reaction pathway has been proposed. Our study provides a new way of stereoselective C?C oxidative coupling via a photocatalytic means using specially designed perovskite QDs.

A series of novel 7-aminoalkyl substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for inhibition of cathepsin K. The synthetic methodology comprises cyclization of 5-aminopyrazoles with N-Boc-α-amino acid-derived ynones followed by transformation of the ester and the Boc-amino functions. It allows for easy diversification of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffold at various positions. Molecular docking studies with pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were also performed to elucidate the binding mode in the active site of cathepsin K. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate inhibition activity (Ki ≥ 77 μM).
