ABSTRACT A Ru-catalyzed mono-arylation in α-position of saturated cyclic amines is reported employing a C-H activation protocol. Substitution of the pyridine directing group with a bulky group, e.g., trifluoromethyl in the 3-position, proved to be crucial to avoid bis-arylation. This highly selective transformation can be performed with different amines and arylboronate esters. Additionally, th...

A resin-capture and release strategy for making combinatorial 2,6,9-trisubstituted purine libraries is demonstrated by capturing N9-derivatized purines at the C6 position with a thio-modified polymer. The C2 fluoro group is subsequently substituted with primary and secondary amines followed by thioether oxidation and release by C6 substitution with amines and anilines. This approach complements...

p-silylated n,n-dialkyl amines (5) were easily synthesized in good to excellent yield from aldehydes (1), trimethylsilyldialkylamines (2), and trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride (4) in the presence of 5 m lithium perchlorate solution in diethyl ether. the reaction of (2) with aldehyde proceeded smoothly in the lici0 , to give the imimum salt (3). addition of trimethylsilylmethylrnagnesium c...

The unicellular eukaryote Tetrahymena synthesize, store and secrete biogenic amines (histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, dopamine, melatonin) and also can take up amines from the milieu. It also has (G-protein-coupled) receptors (binding sites) for these amines as well, as second messengers. The factors infuencing the mentioned processes are shown. For certain amines the genes and the coded enzy...

Aromatic amines are an important group of industrial chemicals, which are widely used for manufacturing of dyes, pesticides, drugs, pigments, and other industrial products. These compounds have been considered highly toxic to human beings due to their carcinogenic nature. Three groups of aromatic amines have been recognized: monocyclic, polycyclic, and heterocyclic aromatic amines. Bacterial de...

An efficient catalytic method has been developed for aerobic oxidation of primary amines to the corresponding nitriles. The reactions proceed at room temperature and employ a catalyst consisting of (4,4'- t Bu2bpy)CuI/ABNO (ABNO = 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one N-oxyl). The reactions exhibit excellent functional group compatibility and substrate scope, and are effective with benzylic, allylic a...

A convenient and efficient method for the constructions of 3-spirooxindole derivatives or 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles has been developed from one-pot reactions of isatins, hydrazides or aromatic amines, 2-(bromomethyl)acrylic ester and tin powder in the presence of a catalytic amount of Brønsted or Lewis acid. The method avoids the use of toxic stannanes and allows easy operation. It is also p...

A simple, green synthesis of N-alkyl-3-acetyl-2-methylpyrrole derivatives using ZnO nanoparticles from the three component reaction of aliphatic amines, acetylacetone (as a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound) and α-haloketones under solvent-free condition is described.

The dynamic exchange of enamines from secondary amines and enolizable aldehydes has been demonstrated in organic solvents. The enamine exchange with amines was efficiently catalyzed by Bi(OTf)3 and Sc(OTf)3 (2 mol %) and the equilibria (60 mm) could be attained within hours at room temperature. The formed dynamic covalent systems displayed high stabilities in basic environment with <2 % by-prod...
