A practical protocol for the α-amination of ketones (up to 99% yield) has been developed via the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of in situ generated nitrosocarbonyl compounds. The reaction with silyl enol ethers having a disilane (-SiMe2TMS) backbone proceeded not only with perfect N-selectivity but concomitant N-O bond cleavage was also accomplished. Such a cascade of C-N bond formation and N-O bond cleavage in a single step was heretofore unknown in the field of nitrosocarbonyl chemistry. A very high diastereoselectivity (dr = 19 : 1) was accomplished using (-)-menthol derived chiral nitrosocarbonyl compounds.

In the present work, we have designed and synthesized potential NSP5 protease allosteric inhibitors exploiting both docking and molecular dynamic data on SARS-CoV-2. The chemical protocols were developed on the basis of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions as well as the chemistry of nitrosocarbonyl intermediates. Computational studies were first conducted for determining the best candidate for SARS-CoV-2 NSP5 protease inhibition.

The peptide chain choice ascertained the influence of their structural features on the applicability/reliability/robustness of these scaffolds as β-turn inducers and their limitations. The amino acid selection as well as steric demands can favor or disfavor the structure folding and the correct design of the peptide chains deeply influences the potential use of these nitrosocarbonyl-based compounds as turn-inducers.

The core structure is an isoxazolidine heterocycle that introduces either atom either a phenyl ring or dimethyl moiety at the C3 carbon. Different heterobases were inserted at the position 5 of the heterocyclic ring.

Nitrosocarbonyl mesitylene intermediate undergoes an ene reaction with cinnamyl alcohol affording the corresponding 5-hydroxy-isoxazolidine in fair yields. The synthesized 5-acetoxy-isoxazolidine serves as synthon for the preparation of 6-chloropurine N,O-nucleoside analogues, according to the Vorbrüggen reaction. The compounds were evaluated for their metabolic and apoptotic activity, and their structure-activity relationship is discussed.

Nitrosocarbonyl intermediates, generated at room temperature by oxidation of nitrile oxides, undergo clean ene reactions with trisubstituted cycloalkenes. Nitrosocarbonyl benzene follows a Markovnikov orientation and abstracts preferentially the twix hydrogens over the lone ones. With the more sterically demanding nitrosocarbonyl mesitylene in the presence of 5- and 6-membered ring olefins, the Markovnikov directing effect is relieved, and twix and lone abstractions are observed.
