Transition-Metal-Free Multiple Functionalization of Piperidines to 4-Substituted and 3,4-Disubstituted 2-Piperidinones

Remote and multiple functionalization of piperidines without the use of transition-metal catalysts and elaborate directing groups is one of the major challenges in organic synthesis. Herein is reported an unprecedented two-step protocol that enables the multiple functionalization of piperidines to either 4-substituted or trans-3,4-disubstituted 2-piperidones. First, by exploiting the duality of TEMPO reactivity, which under oxidative and thermal conditions fluctuates between cationic and persistent-radical form, a novel multiple C(sp3)-H oxidation of piperidines to α,β-unsaturated 2-piperidones was developed. Second, the intrinsic low reactivity of the unsaturated piperidones toward conjugated Grignard additions was overcome by using trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) as Lewis acid. Subsequently, conjugated Grignard addition/electrophilic trapping protocol provided substituted 2-piperidone intermediates, some of which were then transformed into pharmaceutical alkaloids.

Lewis Acid Enabled Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral β-Substituted Amides

Here we report that readily available silyl- and boron-based Lewis acids in combination with chiral copper catalysts are able to overcome the reactivity issues of unactivated enamides, known as the least reactive carboxylic acid derivatives, toward alkyla

Unprecedented copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of organometallic reagents to α,β-unsaturated lactams

For the first time, an excellent enantioselectivity has been obtained in the conjugate addition of hard organometallic reagents to α,β-unsaturated lactams bearing appropriate protecting-activating groups on the nitrogen.

PHOTOCYCLISATION OF KETO-LACTAMS. A NEW SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALIZED 1-AZA-BICYCLO(X.Y.0.)ALKANES

A series of 1-azabicyclo(x.y.0)alkanes has been synthesized using an intramolecular photoreduction.The methodology consists of a regioselective abstraction of a hydrogen α to the nitrogen of an amide by the triplet T1(n, ?*) of a carbonyl derivative.

Inhibition of indoleamine-N-methyl transferase by 2-iminopyridines

A method of inhibiting indoleamine-N-methyl transferase comprises the administration to a host of a therapeutically effective amount of 1-alkyl-2-iminopyrrolidines or 1-alkyl-2-iminopyridines or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
