A practical picolinamide-directed C-H functionalization/alkyne annulation of benzylamine derivatives enabling access to the previously elusive 1,4-dihydroisoquinoline skeleton was developed using molecular O as the sole oxidant and Co(OAc) as precatalyst. The method is compatible with both internal and terminal alkynes and shows high versatility and functional-group tolerance. Furthermore, full preservation of enantiopurity is observed when using non-racemic α-substituted benzylamine derivatives. Kinetic analysis of the reagents and catalyst, labeling experiments, and the isolation and identification of catalytically competent Co-complexes revealed important insights about the mechanism.

Two dipicolylamine (DPA) derivatives with the pyrene and anthracene groups, 1-(pyren-1-yl)-N, N-bis-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)benzylamine (L1) and 1-(anthracen-9-yl)-N, N-bis-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)benzylamine (L2) were synthesized, characterized, and their affinitive properties for metal ions were studied. The mass spectroscopy and Job's plots showed that L1 and L2 reacted with Cu and formed complexes [Cu(L1)(solvent)] (L1-Cu) and [Cu(L2)(solvent)] (L2-Cu), respectively. Both L1 and L2 were fluorescent probes recognizing Cu via the emission quenching and further detecting HS via the emission revival.

To elucidate the potential roles of presynaptic and postsynaptic serotonergic activity in impulsivity traits, we investigated the relationship between self-reported impulsiveness and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) and 5-HT2A receptors in healthy individuals. In this study, 26 participants completed 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography with [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907. To quantify 5-HTT and 5-HT2A receptor availability, the binding potential (BP) of [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907 was derived using the simplified reference tissue model with cerebellar gray matter as the reference region.

In recent times, a truly exquisite pharmaceutical marvel has graced the world of medicine, known as Safinamide (SAF). This opulent creation has been specifically tailored to cater to the needs of individuals afflicted with Parkinson's disease (PD), an esteemed neurological condition renowned for its regal ability to impede motor skills, coordination, and equilibrium. It is highly improbable that degradation products of pharmaceutical components would significantly compromise efficiency and safety of a drug during its shelf life.

The cascade reaction of 3-diazo-2-sulfonyliminoindolines and -methoxymethyl--[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]benzylamines generates 2-sulfonylimino-1',3',4',6'-tetrahydro-2'-spiro[indoline-3,5'-pyrimidine] and spiro[indoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine] derivatives simultaneously under the catalysis of TFA and blue light irradiation. Their formation mechanisms were proposed on the basis of isotope-labeled experiments and HRMS analysis of the controlled experiment mixture, showing new reaction pathways. The current reaction provides a new strategy for the synthesis of biologically important spiro[indoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-2-one derivatives.

Pyrazinamide derivatives have been extensively studied for their biological activities, such as anti-tuberculosis activity and antiviral activities. In this work, a continuous-flow system was developed for the synthesis of pyrazinamide derivatives from pyrazine esters and amines (aliphatic amine, benzylamines and morpholine) catalyzed by Lipozyme® TL IM from , which was used for the first time. The reaction parameters including solvent, substrate ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time/flow rate were also studied in detail.
