Catalyst controlled site-selective C-H functionalization is a challenging but powerful tool in organic synthesis. Polarity-matched and sterically controlled hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) provides an excellent opportunity for site-selective functionalization. As such, the dual Ni/photoredox system was successfully employed to generate acyl radicals from aldehydes via selective formyl C-H activation and subsequently cross-coupled to generate ketones, a ubiquitous structural motif present in the vast majority of natural and bioactive molecules. However, only a handful of examples that are constrained to the use of aryl halides are developed. Given the wide availability of amines, we developed a cross-coupling reaction via C-N bond cleavage using the economic nickel and TBADT catalyst for the first time. A range of alkyl and aryl aldehydes were cross-coupled with benzylic and allylic pyridinium salts to afford ketones with a broad spectrum of functional group tolerance. High regioselectivity toward formyl C-H bonds even in the presence of α-methylene carbonyl or α-amino/oxy methylene was obtained.

A series of amphiphilic 5-(cyclic-secondary-amine)-10,15,20-tris(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrins, designed with the aim of using the amphiphilic porphyrin moiety for the modulation of the aggregation state of the compound by the pH of the medium, have been synthesised, and the relationship between their supramolecular behaviour in acidic aqueous media and their organocatalytic activity in Michael and aldol reactions has been investigated. In particular, we have found that the catalytic activity of the pyrrolidine moiety in an amphiphilic isoindoline–porphyrin hybrid for the aldol reaction of cyclohexanone with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde can be selectively and reversibly switched on and off by adjusting the homogeneity of its solutions through pH variations. The catalysis of the aldol reaction by the secondary amine moiety would otherwise take place regardless of the pH of the medium. We have demonstrated that the aggregation behaviour of these amine–porphyrin hybrids can be also used for the recovery and reutilization of the catalysts.

Pleiotropic intervention may be a requirement for effective limitation of the progression of multifactorial diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease. One approach to such intervention is to design a single chemical entity capable of acting on two or more targets of interest, which are accordingly known as Multi-Target Directed Ligands (MTDLs). We recently described donecopride, the first MTDL able to simultaneously inhibit acetylcholinesterase and act as an agonist of the 5-HT4 receptor, which displays promising activities in vivo. Pharmacomodulation of donecopride allowed us to develop a novel series of indole derivatives possessing interesting in vitro activities toward AChE and the σ1 receptor. The crystal structures of complexes of the most promising compounds with Torpedo californica AChE were solved in order to further understand their mode of inhibition.
