Published: August 2015

A new approach for electrooxidative coupling of aromatic compounds and primary alkylamines bearing a functional group such as a hydroxyl group and an amino group was developed. The key to the success of the transformation is heterocyclization of functional primary alkylamines. Treatment of primary alkylamines bearing a functional group with nitriles or their equivalents gives the corresponding heterocycles. The electrochemical oxidation of aromatic substrates in the presence of the heterocycles followed by chemical reaction under nonoxidative conditions gave the desired coupling products.

Nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2 (NSD2) is involved in various pathologic processes and is considered as an important target for cancer therapy. Due to alternative splicing, NSD2 has 3 isoforms: long, short and RE-IIBP. Although previous studies reported the degradation of PWWP1 domain-containing NSD2-long and short isoforms through PWWP1-binding molecules, the degradation of RE-IIBP which does not contain PWWP1 has been neglected to date.

A palladium-catalyzed divergent reaction of primary benzamides using norbornene (NBE) derivatives as a controlled switch is reported. When NBE is used as a mediator, indanones are synthesized with moderate to good yields a Catellani reaction that involves sequential -C-H alkylation and -C-N bond cleavage annulation of primary benzamides. Employing norbornadiene (NBD) instead of NBE enables the assembly of -alkylamines by an intermolecular hydroamination reaction.

The P2Y receptor (P2YR), a G-coupled receptor, is a potential drug discovery target for various inflammatory and degenerative conditions. Antagonists have been shown to attenuate colitis, acute lung injury, etc. In the search for competitive antagonists, we have investigated the SAR of 3-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2-chromene derivatives, although high affinity is lacking.

The development of methods for the assembly of secondary α-alkyl amines remains a central challenge to chemical synthesis because of their critical importance in modulating the physical properties of biologically active molecules. Despite decades of intensive research, chemists still rely on selective N-alkylation and carbonyl reductive amination to make most amine products. Here we report the further evolution of a carbonyl alkylative amination process that, for the first time, brings together primary amines, aldehydes and alkyl iodides in a visible-light-mediated multicomponent coupling reaction for the synthesis of a wide range of α-branched secondary alkylamines.

Alkylamine structures represent one of the most functional and widely used in organic synthesis and drug design. However, the general methods for the functionalization of the shielded and deshielded alkyl radicals remain elusive. Here, we report a general deoxygenative amination protocol using alcohol-derived carbazates and nitrobenzene under electrochemical conditions.
