Convenient synthesis and useful application of a series of Josiphos-type binaphane ligands were described. The iridium complexes of these chiral diphosphines displayed excellent enantioselectivity and good reactivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging 1-aryl-substituted dihydroisoquinoline substrates (full conversions, up to >99% ee, 4000 TON). The use of 40% HBr (aqueous solution) as an additive dramatically improved the asymmetric induction of these catalysts. This transformation provided a highly efficient and enantioselective access to chiral 1-aryl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines, which were of great importance and common in natural products and biologically active molecules.

Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a promising drug target for multiple therapeutic applications. Here, we describe the modeling, design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of C1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ)-based HDAC8 inhibitors. Minimization of entropic loss upon ligand binding and use of the unique HDAC8 "open" conformation of the binding site yielded a successful strategy for improvement of both HDAC8 potency and selectivity. The TIQ-based 3g and 3n exhibited the highest 82 and 55 nM HDAC8 potency and 330- and 135-fold selectivity over HDAC1, respectively. Selectivity over other class I isoforms was comparable or better, whereas inhibition of HDAC6, a class II HDAC isoform, was below 50% at 10 μM. The cytotoxicity of 3g and 3n was evaluated in neuroblastoma cell lines, and 3n displayed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity similar to or better than that of PCI-34051. The selectivity of 3g and 3n was confirmed in SH-SY5Y cells as both did not increase the acetylation of histone H3 and α-tubulin. Discovery of the novel TIQ chemotype paves the way for the development of HDAC8 selective inhibitors for therapeutic applications.

The application of microwave-induced acceleration to further improve the reaction conditions for amide synthesis using DMT-MM (4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5- triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholium chloride) was reported. The reactions were performed by dissolving amines, carboxylic acids, and the condensing agent in solvent, followed by irradiation in a temperature-controlled microwave oven. The reaction time with conventional heating was seven times that with microwave irradiation, and the yield was less than 10-20% of the yield with the microwave-assisted method. Amidation of piperidine with substituted benzoic acid in the presence of DCC with pyridine in THF yielded more than 60% products within 25 min at 120°C with microwave irradiation. Thus, DMT-MM was a much more effective coupling agent than DCC. Further increases in reaction temperature were limited by the potential of solvents for producing an explosive atmosphere within the microwave oven.
