Tandem enantioselective hydrogenation followed by a hydroformylation-cyclisation sequence leading to cyclic alpha-amino acids with ee's > 95% can be achieved in a single pot, one catalyst system by successive reactions of prochiral dienamide esters with H2 followed by H2/CO using Rh(I)-DuPHOS.

In-Cage Recombination Facilitates the Enantioselective Organocatalytic [1,2]-Rearrangement of Allylic Ammonium Ylides.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

Enhancement of neuronal plasticity by small-molecule therapeutics protects cognitive skills and also ameliorates progressive neurodegenerative pathologies like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia. One such compound, a novel histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) inhibitor named JRM-28, was shown here to enhance dendritic strength, augment spine density, and upregulate post-synaptic neurotransmission in hippocampal neurons. The molecular basis for this effect correlates with JRM-28-induced upregulation of the transcription of cAMP response element-binding protein(CREB), induction of its transcriptional activity, and subsequent stimulation of expressions of CREB-dependent plasticity-associated genes, such as those encoding N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR2A and the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit GluR1.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and neuronal death due to extracellular deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) and intracellular deposition of tau proteins. Recently approved antibody drugs targeting Aβ have been shown to slow the progression of the disease, but they have minimal effects on cognitive improvement. Therefore, there is a need to develop drugs with cognitive-enhancing effects that can be used in conjunction with these antibody treatments.

A synthetic approach to imidazoles annulated to saturated six-membered cycles featuring S, SO, NH, NCbz was developed. It was achieved by combining the Neber rearrangement and the Marckwald reaction. The Neber rearrangement applied to cyclic ketones allowed us to prepare in hundred gram quantities previously unknown α-amino ketones.

A copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical C(sp)-N cross-coupling of racemic tertiary α-bromo-β-lactams with aromatic amines is developed under mild thermal reaction conditions. The use of a sterically demanded oxazoline-derived sulfonamide N,N,N-ligand is crucial for the reaction initiation and effective enantio-discrimination of the azetidinone-derived cyclic alkyl radicals. The strategy provides an attractive approach to access chiral α-amino-β-lactams, an important structural motif in many biologically active molecules.
