Synthesis and application of Cu(II) immobilized MCM-41 based solid Lewis acid catalyst for aminolysis reaction under solvent-free condition

In this paper, a Cu(II) immobilized periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMOs) was synthesized and used as a reusable solid Lewis acid catalyst for the aminolysis of epoxides under solvent-free conditions. An amide-based ligand, L-propylsilyl (1) having a specific binding pocket was prepared and fabricated on mesoporous MCM-41 to produce mesoporous organosilica L-propylsilyl@MCM-41 (2). Further, it has been utilized for anchoring Cu(II) ions under controlled reaction conditions to yield solid Lewis acid catalyst Cu(II)-L-propylsilyl@MCM-41 (3). The synthesized catalyst 3 exhibits significantly higher catalytic activity for aminolysis compared to hitherto known solid Lewis acid catalysts. An extensive range of β-amino alcohols with high regio and stereoselectivity were prepared by using catalyst 3. The catalyst was recovered easily and reused eight times without any loss in its catalytic activity. Furthermore, the synthesis of clinically significant propranolol (β-blocker) from α- naphthyl glycidyl ether was attained successfully using catalyst 3 in a very decent yield.

Stereocontrolled, Divergent, Al(lll)-Catalyzed Coupling of Chiral N-Aryl Epoxy Amines and CO2

A divergent coupling reaction was achieved between N-aryl epoxy amines and CO2. By using two different cocatalysts, tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) or 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) together with an Al(III) Lewis acid, cyclic carbonates or oxazolidinones were selectively produced through two distinct reaction pathways, respectively. The proposed reaction mechanism was supported by the stereochemical determination of the products. A gram-scale production of Linezolid was successfully achieved.

Nano-TiO2: An efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for ring opening of epoxides under solvent-free conditions

Nano-TiO2 is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the ring opening of epoxides with aromatic amines to afford-amino alcohols in good to excellent yields at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. It was found that the catalyst is recyclable, and the activity of the catalyst was not weakened markedly even after several reaction cycles. In addition, the catalytic activity of TiO2 strongly depends on particle size or surface area.

Novel diphenylalkyl piperazine derivatives with high affinities for the dopamine transporter

The novel diphenyl piperazine derivatives containing the phenyl substituted aminopropanol moiety, including 1-[4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(phenylamino)propyl]piperazine 1, which were modified at the connective between the diphenyl and piperazine moieties, have been found to be potent dopamine uptake inhibitors. To study the further structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these compounds, a new series was synthesized, with modifications at the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylaminopropyl moiety of 1. The series was evaluated for dopamine transporter (DAT) binding affinity with [3H]GBR12935 in rat striatal membranes. Most of the compounds showed moderate to high DAT binding affinities and some were approximately equivalent in activity to compound 1 or GBR12909 as a dopamine uptake inhibitor, with IC50 values of nanomolar range. The SAR suggested that on exhibiting a potent interaction with the DAT, there is probably a steric limitation around the benzene ring of the phenylamino moiety of 1, allowing only small-sized substituents with the exception of basic moieties at the 4-position. In addition, the SAR at the 3-amino-2-propanol moiety of 1 suggested that either the nitrogen atom with an electron donating substituent or the unsubstituted nitrogen atom and also the hydroxy group are desirable for elicitation of a potent DAT binding affinity.
