The competing enantioselective conversion (CEC) strategy has been extended to cyclic amines. The basis for the CEC approach is the use of two complementary, enantioselective reactions to determine the configuration of the enantiopure substrate. Bode's chiral acylated hydroxamic acids are very effective enantioselective acylating agents for a variety of amines. Pseudoenantiomers of these acyl-transfer reagents were prepared and demonstrated to react with enantiopure cyclic amines with modest to high selectivity. The products were analyzed by ESI-MS to determine selectivity, and the results were used to assign the configuration of the amine substrate. The method was applicable to a variety of cyclic amines as well as primary amines and acyclic secondary amines. The method is limited to amines that are unhindered enough to react with the reagents, and not all amine substitution patters lead to high selectivity.

Fully -aminated octaazaperopyrenedioxide (OAPPDO) derivatives have been accessible via Buchwald-Hartwig amination of the -chlorinated starting material. They were isolated as semiquinoidal species with a bent polycyclic core and characterized as nonfluorescent charge-transfer dyes. The corresponding secondary amines were synthesized by reduction and displayed typical absorption and emission behavior for perylene derivatives.

Solid-liquid biphasic absorbents are a promising solution for overcoming the high-energy consumption challenge faced by liquid amine-based CO capture technologies. However, their practical applications are often hindered by difficulties in separating viscous solid-phase products. This study introduces a novel nonaqueous absorbent system (PD/PZ/NMP) composed of 4-amino-1-methylpiperidine (PD), piperazine (PZ), and -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), engineered to produce easily separable powdery products.

Introduction: Arjunolic acid, a well-known natural product with various medicinal properties, was isolated from the heartwood of Terminalia arjuna. Various amides of arjunolic acid were synthesized using different aryl and cyclic amines, characterized, and evaluated for their anti-cancer activities at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Method: All the derivatives were active against all the cell lines of NCI compared to the parent molecule arjunolic acid.

In the era of global warming, the conversion of carbon dioxide into high-value products has become a widely scrutinized emerging mitigation strategy. Metalation of bpy-containing MOF-253 led to the synthesis of MOF-253-0.5Ag, which acts as an efficient catalyst for the carbonylative cyclization of CO with alkyne molecules (such as propynyl alcohols and propynyl amines) at room temperature and ambient CO pressure, yielding the corresponding α-alkyl cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones, thus endowing the catalytic system with bifunctional characteristics.
