Silyl Cyanopalladate-Catalyzed Friedel-Crafts-Type Cyclization Affording 3-Aryloxindole Derivatives

3-Aryloxindole derivatives were synthesized through a Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization. The reaction was catalyzed by a trimethylsilyl tricyanopalladate complex generated in situ from trimethylsilyl cyanide and Pd(OAc) 2. Wide varieties of diethyl phosphates derived from N -arylmandelamides were converted almost quantitatively into oxindoles. When N, N -dibenzylamide was used instead of an anilide substrate, a benzo-fused δ-lactam was obtained. An oxindole product was subjected to substitution reactions to afford 3,3-diaryloxindoles with two different aryl groups.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of α-Ketoesters and N-Cyclicsulfonylimides Using H2O as Hydrogen Source

A Co-catalyzed effective transfer hydrogenation of various α-ketoesters and N-cyclicsulfonylimides by safe and environmentally benign H2O as hydrogen source is described. The reaction used easily available and easy to handle zinc metal as a reductant. Interestingly, the catalytic system does not require ligand for reduction of N-cyclicsulfonylimides. (Figure presented.).

Chemoenzymatic Preparation of Enantiomerically Enriched (R)-(–)-Mandelic Acid Derivatives: Application in the Synthesis of the Active Agent Pemoline

The enantioselective resolution of several racemic derivatives of mandelic acid methyl ester catalyzed by lipases from Pseudomonas fluorescens (Amano AK) or Burkholderia cepacia (Amano PS-C II and Amano PS-IM) has been achieved. A gram-scale lipase-mediated kinetic resolution approach has been developed that allows the facile synthesis of the corresponding methyl (R)-(–)-mandelates with excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to >99 % ee) and reaction enantioselectivity (E values up to >200). The dopaminergic agent pemoline, used in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, was synthesized with 98 % ee in a straightforward route by condensing the prepared methyl (R)-(–)-mandelate with guanidine hydrochloride under basic conditions. The desired (R)-(+)-pemoline in optically pure form (>99 % ee) was obtained after two recrystallizations from ethanol. However, it was confirmed by chiral HPLC that optically active pemoline undergoes racemization in methanol solution.

1-Aryl-3-azabicyclohexanes, a New Series of Nonnarcotic Analgesic Agents

A series of 1-aryl-3-azabicyclohexanes was synthesized by hydride reduction of 1-arylcyclopropanedicarboximides.Hydroxyphenyl analogues 20, 22, and 24 were prepared by EtSNa-DMF ether cleavage of the corresponding methoxyphenyl analogues 2m, 2n, and 23, respectively, with the secondary amines 20 and 22 going through the N-formyl intermediates 19 and 21.The p-ethoxy analogue 26 was obtained by O-ethylation of 19, followed by base hydrolysis of the amide 25.The greatest analgesic potency in mouse writhing and rat paw-pain assays was observed for para-substituted compounds.Bicifadine, 1-(4-methylphenyl)-3-azabicyclohexane (2b), was the most potent member of the series and is presently undergoing clinical trials in man.Analgesic activity of 2b is limited to the (+) enantiomer 2v, which has the 1R,5S absolute configuration as determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.The N-methyl analogue (27d) of 2b showed significant analgesic potency, whereas the N-allyl (27a), N-(cyclopropylmethyl) (27b), and N-(n-hexyl) (27c) analogues were inactive.Bicifadine (2b) showed a nonnarcotic profile different from analogous azabicycloalkane and 3-phenylpyrrolidine analgesics.
