[reaction: see text] Reduction of 4-(haloalkyl)azetidin-2-ones with chloroalane (AlH(2)Cl) afforded new 2-(haloalkyl)azetidines in high yields. The latter compounds proved to be very useful starting materials for rearrangements toward stereospecifically defined five- and six-membered azaheterocycles, such as 3,4-cis-disubstituted pyrrolidines and piperidines. During these reactions, bicyclic azetidinium intermediates were formed which were ring opened by a variety of nucleophiles. Hereby, reactions proceeding via 1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.0]hexanes are reported for the first time.

The kinetics of the σ-complexation reactions of 3,5-dicyanothiophene with a series of cyclic secondary amines - has been studied in water and acetonitrile at 20 °C. Through the linear free energy relationship (LFER) log = s ( + ), the electrophilicity parameter of 3,5-dicyanothiophene has been determined and then integrated into the electrophilicity scale established by Mayr. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been employed to elucidate the reversal in reactivity order between piperidine and pyrrolidine observed in water.

Stereoselective Synthesis of (±)-Tetraponerine-2 and -4 via the Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Dehydrative Amination of Allylic Alcohols.

The concise and efficient total synthesis of (±)-tetraponerine-2 () and (±)-tetraponerine-4 () was achieved in 9% and 14% overall yield, respectively. The key step included the diastereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative amination of an allylic alcohol-tethered sulfamide to produce the 1,3-diamine moiety. The resulting olefinic side chain was then elaborated by cross-metathesis and cyclized to a five-membered pyrrolidine or a six-membered piperidine ring by intramolecular Mitsunobu -alkylation.

Neuroinflammation, a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, is associated with neuronal cell loss and cognitive dysfunction. Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is involved in neuroinflammation in the brain via the degradation of endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol to arachidonic acid, a precursor of some eicosanoids; therefore, MAGL inhibitors are expected to have anti-inflammatory effects. We recently developed a reversible, selective, central nervous system penetrant, and orally available MAGL inhibitor, compound 4f.
