An efficient and general method for the synthesis of 3-hydroxyquinolines has been achieved from -acylanilines and α-hydroxyketones in good yields. The strategy involves the intramolecular reverse trapping of the generated aminoenol intermediate with an electrophilic carbonyl, . an interrupted Heyns rearrangement, followed by aromatization.

The term "glycation compounds" comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food may also cause adverse effects and thus pose a nutritional risk to human health.

A novel metal free, Brønsted acid mediated and operationally simple strategy has been developed for regioselective synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles from α-hydroxyketones and o-aminoaryl ketones in excellent yields. The reaction proceeds via interrupted Heyns rearrangement through the generation of aminoenol intermediate followed by intramolecular trapping and aromatization with C-C bond cleavage and release of corresponding ester. The mechanism was further supported by the identification of ester in GCMS and reaction of cyclic α-hydroxydimethylketal, which afforded ester tethered indole derivative.

Unprecedented -BuOK-mediated one carbon deletion of indoline hemiaminals has been achieved. This novel protocol provides an efficient synthetic tool for the construction of 2-aminobenzyl compounds with high chemoselectivity. In addition, functionalized 2-aminobenzyl compounds are difficult to make, for which few limited means of access currently exist.

Amadori and Heyns rearrangement products of bioactive peptides as potential new ligands of galectin-3.

Carbohydr Res

Non-enzymatic cascade reactions between amines and reducing sugars are known as Maillard reaction. The late phase of these reactions consists of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases. Recent evidence suggests that galectin-3 acts as a receptor for AGEs and some early products of the Maillard reaction.
