A facile method has been developed for the synthesis of chiral piperazines through Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of pyrazines activated by alkyl halides, giving a wide range of chiral piperazines including 3-substituted as well as 2,3- and 3,5-disubstituted ones with up to 96% ee. The high enantioselectivity, easy scalability, and concise drug synthesis demonstrate the practical utility.

2,5-disubstituted N,N'-alkylpiperazines represent an interesting target in organic synthesis both for pharmaceutical or agrochemical applications and as a promising class of ligands in coordination chemistry. We report here a microwave-enhanced synthesis of these compounds starting from non-activated N-alkyl aziridines in the presence of catalytic amounts of simple ammonium metallates. A remarkable TOF of 2787.

Starting from our previously reported nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI, 3), continuous efforts were made to enhance its potency and safety through a structure-based drug design strategy. This led to the discovery of a series of novel piperidine-biphenyl-diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs). Compound 10p, the most active compound in this series, exhibited an EC value of 6 nM against wide-type HIV-1 strain, which was approximately 560-fold more potent than the initial compound 3 (EC = 3.

The separation of chiral drugs continues to pose a significant challenge. However, in recent years, the emergence of membrane-based chiral separation has shown promising effectiveness due to its environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective characteristics. In this study, we prepared chiral composite membrane via interfacial polymerization (IP), utilizing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and piperazine (PIP) as mixed monomers in the aqueous phase.

Despite much progress in the area of dearomatization, the enantioselective dearomatization of heterocycles is limited to those with a single heteroatom. Here we report a highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed dearomatization of pyrazine, a diazine, leading to chiral C-substituted piperazines. When exposed to a chloroformate and an alkyne in the presence of a catalyst derived from a copper salt and the chiral ligand StackPhos, pyrazine is readily dearomatized to provide a 2,3-disubstituted dihydropyrazine as single diastereomer in high enantiomeric excess.

The present study investigates the use of dextrins (maltodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) to improve the efficiency of the agarose-based gel electromembrane extraction technique for extracting chiral basic drugs (citalopram, hydroxyzine, and cetirizine). Additionally, it examines the enantioselectivity of the extraction process for these drugs. To achieve these, dextrins were incorporated into either the sample solution, the membrane, or the acceptor solution, and then the extraction procedure was performed.
