Samarium diiodide mediated cyclizations of N-acylated indole derivatives bearing sulfinyl imine moieties afforded polycyclic tertiary carbinamines with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities. Lithium bromide and water turned out to be the best additives to achieve these transformations in good yields. Using enantiopure sulfinyl imines the outcome strongly depends on the reactivity of the indole moiety. Whereas with unactivated indole derivatives desulfinylation and formation of racemic products was observed, indoles bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at C-3 afforded the polycyclic products with intact N-sulfinyl groups and with excellent diastereoselectivity, finally allowing the preparation of enantiopure tertiary carbinamines. The mechanisms of these processes are discussed.

The population density concept has emerged as a proposal for the analysis of molecular dynamics results, the key characteristic of population density is the evaluation of the simultaneous occurrence of a set of relevant parameters for a system. However, despite its statistical strength, selection of the tolerance level for the comparison of different models may appear as arbitrary. This work introduces the G-score, a function which summarizes and categorizes the results of population density analysis.

BACE1 is an aspartyl protease with a very relevant role in medicinal chemistry related to Alzheimer Disease since it has demonstrated to be a promising therapeutic target for inhibition and possible control for the progress of the peptide accumulation characteristic of this pathology. The enzymatic activity of this protein is given by the aspartic dyad, Asp93 and Asp289, which can adopt several protonation states depending on the chemical nature of its inhibitors, this is, monoprotonated, diprotonated and di-deprotonated states. In the present study, the analysis of the population density, for a series of protein-inhibitor molecular dynamics simulations, was carried out to identify the most feasible protonation state adopted by the catalytic dyad in the presence of tertiary carbinamine (TC) transition state analog inhibitors.

In contrast to classic methods carried out under inert atmospheres with dry volatile organic solvents and often low temperatures, the addition of highly polar organometallic compounds to non-activated imines and nitriles proceeds quickly, efficiently, and chemoselectively with a broad range of substrates at room temperature and under air with water as the only reaction medium. Secondary amines and tertiary carbinamines are furnished in yields of up to and over 99 %. The significant solvent D/H isotope effect observed for the on-water nucleophilic additions of organolithium compounds to imines suggests that the on-water catalysis arises from proton transfer across the organic-water interface.

The first asymmetric γ-alkoxyallylboration of representative ketones provides β-alkoxy tert-homoallylic alcohols 10 whose diastereoselectivities range from 99% syn (acetophenone) to 99% anti (pinacolone) both with high ee (>95%). This distribution is attributable to the c/t isomerization of the BBD reagents and the greater reactivity of 7 vs 1 and of aromatic vs alkyl ketones. A ketone-based direct synthesis of a fostriecin intermediate and the tert-amine 26 are reported, each with high selectivities.
