One-Pot Synthesis of α-Ketoamides from α-Keto Acids and Amines Using Ynamides as Coupling Reagents

A one-pot strategy for α-keto amide bond formation have been developed by using ynamides as coupling reagents under extremely mild reaction conditions. Diversely structural α-ketoamides were afforded in up to 98% yield for 36 examples. This reaction features advantages such as practical coupling procedure, wide functional group tolerance, and extremely mild conditions and has potential applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Novel positive allosteric modulators of A2B adenosine receptor acting as bone mineralisation promoters

Small-molecules acting as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the A2B adenosine receptor (A2B AR) could potentially represent a novel therapeutic strategy for pathological conditions characterised by altered bone homeostasis, including osteoporosis. We investigated a library of compounds (4-13) exhibiting different degrees of chemical similarity with three indole derivatives (1-3), which have been recently identified by us as PAMs of the A2B AR able to promote mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and bone formation. Evaluation of mineralisation activity of 4-13 in the presence and in the absence of the agonist BAY60-6583 allowed the identification of lead compounds with therapeutic potential as anti-osteoporosis agents. Further biological characterisation of one of the most performing compounds, the benzofurane derivative 9, confirmed that such a molecule behaves as PAM of the A2B AR.

Selective amidation by a photocatalyzed umpolung reaction

A metal-catalyzed organic transformation merged with another organophotocatalyst has been developed under mild conditions for production of α-ketoamides. CuI-catalyzed highly selective and rapid COCH2-amidation in the presence of electrophilic CαO bonds, which is synchronized by an eosin Y (EY)-photocatalyst, furnishes a wide range of labile α-ketoamides, unsymmetrical oxalamides and chiral analogues on the treatment of 1,3-dicarbonyls with amines, PhIO and LED light at room temperature. The current strategy opens up a new avenue to making photocatalysis a common synthetic tool for large-scale production in academia and industry.

Synthesis of α-Ketoamides from β-Ketonitriles and Primary Amines: A Catalyst-Free Oxidative Decyanation–Amidation Reaction

AN oxidative decyanation–amidation of β-ketonitriles and primary amines readily occurs using hydrogen peroxide sodium carbonate adduct (Na2CO3·1.5H2O2), K2CO3, and 1,4-dioxane. This reactio

Enantioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of α-Keto Amides to α-Hydroxy Amides

A highly enantioselective iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of α-keto amides to form α-hydroxy amides has been achieved with excellent results (up to >99% conversion and up to >99% ee, TON up to 100?000). As an example, this protocol was applied to the synthesis of (S)-4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)benzene-1,2-diol, the enantiomer of norepinephrine, which is widely used as an injectable drug for the treatment of critically low blood pressure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also carried out to reveal the reaction mechanism.

In situ generated Pd(0) nanoparticles stabilized by bis(aryl)acenaphthenequinone diimines as catalysts for aminocarbonylation reactions in water

Aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides with aromatic and aliphatic amines, leading to formation of the corresponding amides, was efficiently carried out in water under 1?atm of CO using palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) formed in situ from [PdCl2(Ar2-BIAN)] complexes. The role of Ar2-BIAN ligands in the stabilization of Pd NPs was evidenced. The nature of the catalytically active species was confirmed by poisoning experiments, which highlighted that the catalyst is actually in the form of Pd NPs rather than soluble palladium complexes. In the aminocarbonylation of iodobenzene with substituted anilines good yields of amides were obtained, although the activity was depleted by the presence of substituents in the ortho positions of the aniline. On the other hand, in the reaction with aliphatic amines α-ketoamides were formed in addition to the amides. The selectivity towards α-ketoamides was increased by increasing the CO pressure to 10?atm, at equimolar amounts of PhI and amine. Pd NPs were successfully recovered after the catalytic reaction and recycled in five subsequent runs with only a marginal loss of activity after the fourth cycle.

Asymmetric aerobic oxidation of α-hydroxy acid derivatives catalyzed by reusable, polystyrene-supported chiral N-salicylidene oxidovanadium tert-leucinates

The direct immobilization of two different C-5-propargyl ether-modified, chiral N-salicylidene vanadyl(V) tert-leucinates onto 4-azidomethyl-substituted polystyrene by click chemistry was examined. Among the eight different solvents investigated, the resulting polystyrene-supported catalysts promote the asymmetric, aerobic oxidation of α-hydroxy (thio)esters and amides with enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee (selectivity factor up to 41) in chloroform. These polystyrene-supported catalysts can be readily recovered by filtration and reused for at least four consecutive runs without discernible loss of reactivity and enantioselectivity.

Asymmetrie aerobic oxidation of α-hydroxy acid derivatives by C 4-symmetric, vanadate-centered, tetrakisvanadyl(V) clusters derived from N-salicylidene-α-aminocarboxylates

(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of chiral vanadyl(V) methoxides bearing 3-t-butyl-5-substituted N-salicylene-L-valinate and L-t-leucinate as chiral auxiliaries has been prepared. In all cases except the 3,5-di-t-butyl analogue, they exist as monomers both in solution and in the single crystal state. In the case of the 3,5-di-t-butyl analogue, the architectural nature of the vanadyl(V) complex highly depends on the base used during the complex formation event. A pentanuclear C4-symmetric complex was formed when potassium salts were employed instead of the corresponding sodium salts. A central vanadate(V) unit serves to grip four identical chiral monomelic vanadyl(V) units together, by which a potassium ion sits on top of the four flanking units through carbonyl coordinations and serves to hold the whole cluster by cooperation with the central vanadate(V) unit. In comparison with the corresponding monomelic vanadyl(V) methoxide complex, the cluster complex was utilized to facilitate the asymmetric aerobic oxidations of various racemic α-hydroxyesters, -amides, and -thioesters with excellent selectivity factors (krel 40 to >500).

Asymmetric hydrogenation of α-keto acid derivatives by rhodium-{amidophosphine-phosphinite} catalysts

The enantioselective hydrogenation of several α-keto esters (3a-f, 5a-j), α-keto amides (7a-e) and isatine derivatives (9a-d) with a set of four representative neutral homogeneous rhodium-amidophosphine-phosphinite catalysts has been investigated. Trifluoroacetate-Rh-AMPP catalytic precursors promoted the rapid, efficient synthesis of aliphatic α-hydroxy esters 4a-f in moderate to high enantioselectivities (66-95% eel, in contrast to most aromatic α-hydroxy esters 6a-j (8-81% eel. Best enantioselectivities for α-hydroxy amides 8a-e (85-95% eel and dioxindoIes 10a-d (80-94% eel were obtained with chloro-Rh-AMPP precursors. It is proposed that, contrary to α-keto amides, α-keto esters do not chelate onto the rhodium center and that, in such circumstances, the asymmetric induction is mainly controlled by the steric hindrance around the C=O function.
