We disclose a catalytic method for β-C(sp3)-H functionalization of N-alkylamines for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched β-substituted amines, entities prevalent in pharmaceutical compounds and used to generate different families of chiral catalysts. We demonstrate that a catalyst system comprising of seemingly competitive Lewis acids, B(C6F5)3, and a chiral Mg- or Sc-based complex, promotes the highly enantioselective union of N-alkylamines and α,β-unsaturated compounds. An array of δ-amino carbonyl compounds was synthesized under redox-neutral conditions by enantioselective reaction of a N-alkylamine-derived enamine and an electrophile activated by the chiral Lewis acid co-catalyst. The utility of the approach is highlighted by late-stage β-C-H functionalization of bioactive amines. Investigations in regard to the mechanistic nuances of the catalytic processes are described.

A new and efficient [5+1] annulation reaction for the first synthesis of 5,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines is described. This transition-metal-free tandem cyclization was performed with 5-amino-1H-phenylpyrazole and readily availabl

In the present work a series of aziridine-2,3-dicarboxylate inhibitors of papain-like cysteine proteases was designed, synthesized and tested. The compounds displayed selectivity for the parasitic protozoon Leishmania mexicana cathepsin L-like cysteine protease LmCPB2.8. The computational methods of homology modelling and molecular docking predicted some significant differences in the S2 pocket of LmCPB2.8 and cruzain, a related enzyme from Trypanosoma cruzi. Due to the presence of Tyr209 in LmCPB2.8 rather than Glu208 in cruzain sterically demanding, lipophilic ester groups (inhibitor 7d, 9d, 12d and 14d) are predicted to occupy the S2 pocket of the Leishmania protease, but do not form favorable interactions in cruzain, which is in common with our experimental results. Further, inhibitor 18 bearing a free carboxylic acid attached to the aziridine moiety showed a time-dependent inhibition of LmCPB2.8 (Ki = 0.41 μM; k2nd = 190,569 M?1 min?1). Docking results suggested a strong ionic interaction with the positively charged His163 of the active site. Biological and theoretical data confirm that the novel selective aziridine-based inhibitors are promising candidates for further optimization as LmCPB2.8 inhibitors.
