Treatment of N-substituted pyrroles with carbonyl compounds and nucleophiles under indium catalysis was found to be a promising method for preparing β-alkylpyrroles without contamination by α-alkylpyrroles. With this methodology, a variety of alkyl groups, which are primary, secondary, and tertiary as well as cyclic and functionalized types, can be introduced in place onto the pyrrole ring. The simplicity performable as a catalytic one-step process is one of the important features of this reaction. The substituent on the nitrogen atom of the product β-alkylpyrrole can be removed easily by literature procedures. Therefore, the indium-catalyzed β-alkylation plus the N-deprotection is a powerful system for all six variations, which are N-substituted and N-unsubstituted β-alkylpyrroles having primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl groups. Our method is applicable to synthesizing, albeit in two steps, β-pyrrolyl-group-connected unsymmetrical tetraarylmethanes that have not been addressed thus far. Mechanistic studies showed the following three aspects: (1) dipyrrolylalkanes produced in situ from the pyrrole and carbonyl compound are key intermediates, (2) the selective β-alkylation is attributed to the selective elimination of an α-pyrrolyl group from the dipyrrolylalkane intermediates, and (3) the indium Lewis acid catalyst is indispensable for the progress of both stages.

The first example of KF/Al2O3-catalyzed versatile hetero-Michael addition reaction of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles was developed for facile preparation of organic compounds of widely different structures. In contrast with the existing methods using many acidic catalysts, this method is very general, simple, high-yielding, environmentally friendly, and oxygen and moisture tolerant.

3-Guanidinopropionic acid (1, PNU-10483) has been demonstrated to both improve insulin sensitivity and to promote weight loss selectively from adipose tissue in animal models of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). However, 1 has also been shown to be a substrate for both the creatine transporter and creatine kinase, leading to marked accumulation in muscle tissue as the corresponding N-phosphate 4. In an effort to identify novel entities that maintain antidiabetic potency without susceptibility to creatine-like metabolism, an analogue program was undertaken to explore the effects of various structural modifications, including homologation, simple substitution, single atom mutations, and bioisosteric replacements for the guanidine and carboxylic acid. Overall, the scope of activity encompassed by the set of new analogues proved to be exceedingly narrow. Notable exceptions demonstrating equivalent or improved antidiabetic activity included the α-amino derivative 29, aminopyridine 47, isothiourea 67, and aminoguanidine 69. On the basis of its superior therapeutic ratio, aminoguanidine 69 was selected for preclinical development and became the foundation for a second phase of analogue work. Furthermore, in vitro studies demonstrated that 69 is markedly less susceptible to phosphorylation by creatine kinase than the lead 1, suggesting that it should have less potential for accumulation in muscle tissue than 1.
