The oxalamide skeleton is a common structural motif in many biologically active molecules. These scaffolds can be synthesized ruthenium pincer complex-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of ethylene glycol and amines. In this study, we elucidate the mechanism of this oxalamide synthesis using density functional theory calculations. The rate-determining state is identified as the formation of molecular hydrogen following the oxidation of hydroxyacetamide to oxoacetamide. In predictive catalysis exercises, various modifications to the ruthenium pincer catalyst were investigated to assess their impact on the reactivity.

Unlabelled: The wide range of chemical structures of antioxidants provides opportunities for individual selection of the most suitable compounds, taking into account the unique needs and characteristics of the body. Synthetic antioxidants can be specially designed with certain characteristics, which helps to create more effective and stable compounds. The aim of this work was to conduct a series of studies to identify the antioxidant activity of newly synthesized compounds of a number of oxalic acid diamides based on 3,4-dimethoxyphenylcyclopentylamine N1 ((1-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-N2-(2-methoxyphenyl)oxalamide on the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the brain and liver tissues of white rats (in vivo, in vitro), as well as to determine their potential pharmacological properties that correspond to Lipinsky's "Rule of Five" (in silico).

Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating chiral 3,3'-bisindole compounds using palladium-catalyzed asymmetrical allylic alkylation was developed, utilizing Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates.
- The process demonstrates efficient regioselectivity control (α/γ) through specific chiral catalysts like oxalamide phosphine or spiroketal-based diphosphine/Pd(0) complexes.
- This method allows for high yields of multifunctional derivatives without the need for protecting groups, showcasing strong stereoselectivity and adaptable regioselectivity.

We present a novel, eco-friendly and one-pot approach for synthesizing unsymmetrical oxalamides with the aid of dichloroacetamide and amine/amides in the presence of CBr in a basic medium. The use of water as a potent supplement for the oxygen atom source and the detailed mechanism have been disclosed. Moreover, the protocol involves triple cleavage of CClBr and the formation of new C-O/C-N bonds, with the advantage of achieving selective bromination using CBr with good to excellent yield under mild conditions.
