The alkylation of amines by alcohols is a broadly applicable, sustainable, and selective method for the synthesis of alkyl amines, which are important bulk and fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. We show that Cr complexes can catalyze this C?N bond formation reaction. We synthesized and isolated 35 examples of alkylated amines, including 13 previously undisclosed products, and the use of amino alcohols as alkylating agents was demonstrated. The catalyst tolerates numerous functional groups, including hydrogenation-sensitive examples. Compared to many other alcohol-based amine alkylation methods, where a stoichiometric amount of base is required, our Cr-based catalyst system gives yields higher than 90 % for various alkyl amines with a catalytic amount of base. Our study indicates that Cr complexes can catalyze borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer reactions and could thus be an alternative to Fe, Co, and Mn, or noble metals in (de)hydrogenation catalysis.

To confront a disease like Alzheimer’s disease having complex pathogenesis, development of multitarget-directed ligands has emerged as a promising drug discovery approach. In our endeavor towards the development of multitarget-directed ligands for Alzheimer’s disease, a series of indoloquinoxaline derivatives were designed and synthesized. In vitro cholinesterase inhibition studies revealed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to good cholinesterase inhibitory activity. 6-(6-(Piperidin-1-yl)hexyl)-6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline 9f was identified as the most potent and selective BuChE inhibitor (IC50 = 0.96 μM, selectivity index = 0.17) that possessed 2 fold higher BuChE inhibitory activity compared to the commercially approved reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 1.87 μM). Moreover, compound 9f is also endowed with self-induced Aβ1-42 aggregation inhibitory activity (51.24% inhibition at 50 μM concentration). Some of the compounds of the series also displayed moderate anti-oxidant activity. To perceive a putative binding mode of the compound 9f, molecular docking studies were carried out, and the results pointed out significant interactions of compound 9f with the enzymes in the binding sites of cholinesterases as well as Aβ1-42. Additionally, compound 9f exhibited favorable in silico ADMET properties. Put together these findings project compound 9f as a potential multitarget-directed ligand in the direction of developing novel anti-AD drugs. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

A practical strategy for the preparation of imidazopyridine derivatives from ortho-haloaminopyridines utilizing a two-step C-N coupling/cyclization reaction sequence has been developed. This procedure provides rapid and efficient access to many medicinally interesting imidazopyridine compounds and related imidazopyrazine/purine heterocycles.
