The development of base metal catalysts for industrially relevant amination and hydrogenation reactions by applying abundant and atom economical reagents continues to be important for the cost-effective and sustainable synthesis of amines which represent highly essential chemicals. In particular, the synthesis of primary amines is of central importance because these compounds serve as key precursors and central intermediates to produce value-added fine and bulk chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Here we report a Ni-triphos complex as the first Ni-based homogeneous catalyst for both reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with ammonia and hydrogenation of nitroarenes to prepare all kinds of primary amines. Remarkably, this Ni-complex enabled the synthesis of functionalized and structurally diverse benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic linear and branched primary amines as well as aromatic primary amines starting from inexpensive and easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) and nitroarenes using ammonia and molecular hydrogen. This Ni-catalyzed reductive amination methodology has been applied for the amination of more complex pharmaceuticals and steroid derivatives. Detailed DFT computations have been performed for the Ni-triphos based reductive amination reaction, and they revealed that the overall reaction has an inner-sphere mechanism with H2metathesis as the rate-determining step.

We report the synthesis of in situ generated cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly defined complexes as efficient and selective catalysts for reductive amination reactions. In the presence of ammonia and hydrogen, cobalt-salen complexes such as cobalt(ii)-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine produce ultra-small (2-4 nm) cobalt-nanoparticles embedded in a carbon-nitrogen framework. The resulting materials constitute stable, reusable and magnetically separable catalysts, which enable the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds and ammonia. The isolated nanoparticles also represent excellent catalysts for the synthesis of primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines including biologically relevant N-methyl amines.

Amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) catalyse the conversion of ketones into enantiomerically pure amines at the sole expense of ammonia and hydride source. Guided by structural information from computational models, we create AmDHs that can convert pharmaceutically relevant aromatic ketones with conversions up to quantitative and perfect chemical and optical purities. These AmDHs are created from an unconventional enzyme scaffold that apparently does not operate any asymmetric transformation in its natural reaction. Additionally, the best variant (LE-AmDH-v1) displays a unique substrate-dependent switch of enantioselectivity, affording S- or R-configured amine products with up to >99.9% enantiomeric excess. These findings are explained by in silico studies. LE-AmDH-v1 is highly thermostable (Tm of 69 °C), retains almost entirely its catalytic activity upon incubation up to 50 °C for several days, and operates preferentially at 50 °C and pH 9.0. This study also demonstrates that product inhibition can be a critical factor in AmDH-catalysed reductive amination.

The development of base metal catalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds remains an important goal of chemical research. Here, we report that cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated by a graphitic shell are broadly effective reductive amination catalysts. Their convenient and practical preparation entailed template assembly of cobaltdiamine- dicarboxylic acid metal organic frameworks on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis under inert atmosphere.The resulting stable and reusable catalysts were active for synthesis of primary, secondary, tertiary, and N-methylamines (more than 140 examples).The reaction couples easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) with ammonia, amines, or nitro compounds, and molecular hydrogen under industrially viable and scalable conditions, offering cost-effective access to numerous amines, amino acid derivatives, and more complex drug targets.

Transformation of biomass into valuable nitrogen-containing compounds is highly desired, yet limited success has been achieved. Here we report an efficient catalyst system, partially reduced Ru/ZrO2, which could catalyze the reductive amination of a variety of biomass-derived aldehydes/ketones in aqueous ammonia. With this approach, a spectrum of renewable primary amines was produced in good to excellent yields. Moreover, we have demonstrated a two-step approach for production of ethanolamine, a large-market nitrogen-containing chemical, from lignocellulose in an overall yield of 10 %. Extensive characterizations showed that Ru/ZrO2-containing multivalence Ru association species worked as a bifunctional catalyst, with RuO2 as acidic promoter to facilitate the activation of carbonyl groups and Ru as active sites for the subsequent imine hydrogenation.

experimental part, p. 5125 - 5131 (2009/11/30)
Two N-benzyl imines are designed to allow for carbon-carbon bond formations at the aminated benzylic positions. Direct benzylic arylation reactions of N-benzylxanthone imine with aryl chlorides proceed under palladium catalysis in the presence of cesium hydroxide, yielding the corresponding benzhydrylamine derivatives. Alkylation reactions of N-benzyldi-1-naphthyl ketone imine with alkyl halides in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide afford the corresponding 1-phenylalkylamines in high yields. Conjugate addition of N-benzyldi-1-naphthyl ketone imine is also described.

A series of 5-alkylindolobenzazepin-7-ones was synthesized by Suzuki coupling between 3-iodoindole-2-carboxylates and the appropriate α-alkylbenzylamino α-boronic acids followed by cyclization to the lactam. Derivatives having a linear alkyl chain at C5 were found to be highly cytotoxic to KB cells with IC50 values in the 30-80 nM range. These compounds also inhibited the polymerization of tubulin with IC50's of 1-2 μM. Compound 4f ((S)-5-ethyl) showed comparable antiproliferative activities (IC50's of 30-70 nM) in a variety of cancer cell lines, cell growth being arrested at the G2/M phase. Compound 4f induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in three different cancer cell lines and was shown to affect cell morphology in a manner consistent with its inhibitory action on tubulin polymerization. Using the experimental model of glioma grafted on the chick chorio-allantoic membrane, local treatment with compound 4f markedly reduced tumor progression.
The dutch resolution variant of the classical resolution of racemates by formation of diastereomeric salts: Family behaviour in nucleation inhibition
Dalmolen, Jan,Tiemersma-Wegman, Theodora D.,Nieuwenhuijzen, Jose W.,Van Der Sluis, Marcel,Van Echten, Erik,Vries, Ton R.,Kaptein, Bernard,Broxterman, Quirinius B.,Kellogg, Richard M.

The resolution of racemates through their diastereomeric salts can be positively affected by the addition of small amounts of suitable nucleation inhibitors. This discovery is a logical extension of "Dutch Resolution", in which equimolar amounts of resolving agents that are members of the same family (i.e., structurally related) are used. We conducted a systematic search for nucleation inhibitors of the resolving agent 1-phenylethylamine. A wide range of amines that bear possible family resemblances to 1-phenylethylamine was investigated. It was found that (R)-1-phenylbutylamine is a good inhibitor of (R)-1-phenylethylamine. Results of turbidity measurements showed that, for the model case of mandelic acid resolution, the chief effect of this inhibitor was to widen the metastable zone for the more soluble diastereomer. This observation is in accordance with previous experience. Further scouting for possible family members revealed a wide variation in the effectiveness of inhibitors, dependent on their structure. By far the most effective inhibitors are bifunctional 1-phenylethylamine and/or 1-phenylbutylamine analogues. The effect of racemic inhibitors was found to approach that of enantiomerically pure inhibitors of the same absolute configuration of the 1-phenylethylamine used for resolution. The most effective inhibitors were tested for the resolution of a structural variety of racemates, and were shown to be broadly applicable.
Synthesis and applications of chiral organoboranes generated from sulfonium ylides

The reactions of aryl-stabilized sulfonium ylides with trialkyl/triarylboranes have been investigated. Clean monohomologation of the boranes with only a small amount of the higher homologation products (2O2/NaOH) and amines (treatment with NH2OSO3H). Although the reactions were conveniently conducted at 5 °C, the ylide reaction with tributylborane was very fast even at -78 °C (complete after 15 min). Use of chiral sulfides rendered the reactions asymmetric, and high enantioselectivity (>95% ee) was observed in all cases. The ylide-borane reaction was applied to short syntheses of the anti-inflammatory agents neobenodine and cetirizine, both of which contain a chiral diarylmethylalkoxy and diarylmethylamino moiety, respectively.

Discovery of a novel class of selective non-peptide antagonists for the human neurokinin-3 receptor. 2. Identification of (S)-N-(1-phenylpropyl)-3- hydroxy-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (SB 223412)
Giardina, Giuseppe A. M.,Raveglia, Luca F.,Grugni, Mario,Sarau, Henry M.,Farina, Carlo,Medhurst, Andrew D.,Graziani, Davide,Schmidt, Dulcie B.,Rigolio, Roberto,Luttmann, Mark,Cavagnera, Stefano,Foley, James J.,Vecchietti, Vittorio,Hay, Douglas W. P.

Optimization of the previously reported 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxamide NK-3 receptor antagonist 14, with regard to potential metabolic instability of the ester moiety and affinity and selectivity for the human neurokinin-3 (hNK-3) receptor, is described. The ester functionality could be successfully replaced by the ketone (31) or by lower alkyl groups (Et, 21, or n-Pr, 24). Investigation of the substitution pattern of the quinoline ring resulted in the identification of position 3 as a key position to enhance hNK-3 binding affinity and selectivity for the hNK-3 versus the hNK-2 receptor. All of the chemical groups introduced at this position, with the exception of halogens, increased the hNK-3 binding affinity, and compounds 53 (3-OH, SB 223412, hNK- 3-CHO binding K(i) = 1.4 nM) and 55 (3-NH2, hNK-3-CHO binding K(i) = 1.2 nM) were the most potent compounds of this series. Selectivity studies versus the other neurokinin receptors (hNK-2-CHO and hNK-1-CHO) revealed that 53 is about 100-fold selective for the hNK-3 versus hNK-2 receptor, with no affinity for the hNK-1 at concentrations up to 100 μM. In vitro studies demonstrated that 53 is a potent functional antagonist of the hNK-3 receptor (reversal of senktide-induced contractions in rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscles and reversal of NKB-induced Ca2+ mobilization in CHO cells stably expressing the hNK-3 receptor), while in vive this compound showed oral and intravenous activity in NK-3 receptor-driven models (senktide-induced behavioral responses in mice and senktide-induced miosis in rabbits). Overall, the biological data indicate that (S)-N-(1-phenylpropyl)-3-hydroxy- 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (53, SB 223412) may serve as a pharmacological tool in animal models of disease to assess the functional and pathophysiological role of the NK-3 receptor and to establish therapeutic indications for non-peptide NK-3 receptor antagonists.
