A versatile and robust photocatalytic methodology to install the amide functional group into azomethine imine ions is described. This protocol is distinguished by its broad scope and mild reaction conditions, which are well suited for the preparation of structurally complex compounds in the form of amino acids, peptides, and small drug-like molecules. Moreover, the generated pyrazolidinone core could be easily converted into β-alanine analogues.

2,3-Benzodiazepine derivatives, also known as GYKI compounds, represent a group of the most promising synthetic inhibitors of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors. Here we investigate the mechanism of inhibition of the GluA1 channel opening and the site of inhibition by GYKI 52466 and its N-3 methyl-carbamoyl derivative, which we term as BDZ-f. GluA1 is a key AMPA receptor subunit involved in the brain function.

We have studied the ability of an alpha-imino glyoxylamide derived from (S, S)-(+)-pseudoephedrine as a valuable chiral electrophile for the preparation of alpha-amino carbonyl compounds. In this context, the addition of Grignard reagents to the azomethine moiety of this chiral electrophile afforded the expected alpha-amino amide adducts in good yields and diastereoselectivities. Moreover, these adducts have been transformed into enantioenriched alpha-amino ketones by exploiting the ability of pseudoephedrine amides to undergo selective monoaddition to the carbamoyl group with organolithium reagents.

An enantiocontrolled route to aziridinomitosenes had been developed from l-serine methyl ester hydrochloride. The tetracyclic target ring system was assembled by an internal azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction based on silver ion-assisted intramolecular oxazole alkylation and cyanide-induced ylide generation via a labile oxazoline intermediate (62 to 66). Other key steps include reductive detritylation of 26, methylation of the N-H aziridine 56, oxidation of the sensitive cyclohexenedione 68 to quinone 70, and carbamoylation using Fmoc-NCO.
