  • The catalyst works effectively at low concentrations (0.1-0.05 mol%) for larger scale reactions (5-50 mmol).
  • The composition of the active catalyst was confirmed through various methods including control experiments, ESI-HRMS analysis, and computational DFT calculations.

Article Abstract

A novel dinuclear Ni complex has been developed for the direct Mannich reaction of malonates with N-tosyl aryl imines with a low catalyst loading (0.1-0.05 mol%) on a preparative scale (5-50 mmol). The structure of the active species was verified via control experiments, ESI-HRMS, and DFT calculations.

Cellulose is one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature. Despite being the subject of research in various fields, it is not as famous as chitosan in catalyst design. Herein, a novel thiourea-functionalized cellulose (CTU-6) was synthesized as a robust hydrogen bonding catalyst with the degree of substitution (DS) of 0.

Construction of a chiral methanamine unit at the C3 position of pyrrole is highly desirable; nevertheless, it remains challenging due to its intrinsic electronic properties. Herein, we present an operationally straightforward and direct asymmetric approach for accessing α-(3-pyrrolyl)methanamines under benign organocatalytic conditions for the first time. The one-pot transformation proceeds smoothly through an amine-catalyzed direct Mannich reaction of succinaldehyde with various -cyclic imines, followed by a Paal-Knorr cyclization with a primary amine.

Multicomponent synthesis of α-branched amines using organozinc reagents generated from alkyl bromides.

Beilstein J Org Chem

November 2024

Univ Paris-Est Créteil, CNRS, ICMPE, UMR 7182, 2 rue Henri Dunant, 94320 Thiais, France.

The use of alkylzinc bromides in the multicomponent Mannich reaction is described. Heteroleptic organozinc compounds were obtained in THF or 2-MeTHF by direct insertion of zinc dust into the C-Br bond of alkyl bromides. It was found that the presence of a stoichiometric amount of LiCl was essential for the efficiency of the subsequent three-component coupling with aldehydes and amines.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurological disorder and multiple pathways are associated with its pathology. Currently available single-targeting drugs are found to be ineffective for the treatment of AD, and most of these drugs provide symptomatic relief. The multi-target directed ligand strategy is proposed as an effective approach for the treatment of AD.

Collective Syntheses of Alkaloids Based on a Chirality-Tunable Structure Unit.

Org Lett

October 2024

Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry for Natural Resource, Ministry of Education, Yunnan Key Laboratory of Research and Development for Natural Products, Yunnan Characteristic Plant Extraction Laboratory, School of Pharmacy, Yunnan University, Kunming, Yunnan 650500, P. R. China.

A novel strategy based on a common intermediate bearing a chirality-tunable structure unit for the collective syntheses of corynantheine-type and heteroyohimbine-type alkaloids has been developed. Key transformations of the synthetic strategy are a sequential nucleophilic C-N bond formation/Mannich-type cyclization to construct the highly functional C/D rings, a stereocontrolled introduction of the C15 and C20 chiral centers based on the chirality-tunable structure unit, and an amine-directed addition of MeAl to construct the C18 methyl group.
