2-Deoxy-4-N-glycyl-6-O-(alpha-nebrosaminyl)fortamine (21) and 3-de-O-methyl-2-deoxy-4-N-glycyl-6-O-(alpha-nebrosaminyl)fortamine (27) were prepared starting from lividamine. The syntheses include four key steps, that is, transformation of 2-deoxystreptamine moiety of lividamine to 4-N,3-O-didemethyl-2-deoxyfortamine, selective 4-N-methylation of the new aminocyclitol moiety, selective attachmen...

Half-sandwich iridium complexes bearing bidentate urea-phosphorus ligands were found to catalyze the direct reductive amination of aromatic and aliphatic ketones under mild conditions at 0.5 mol % loading with high selectivity towards primary amines. One was be active in both Leuckart–Wallach (NH4CO2H) type reaction as well hydrogenative (H2/NH4AcO) amination. The protocol ammonium formate does...

Full-quantum mechanical fragment molecular orbital-based molecular dynamics (FMO-MD) simulations were applied to the hydration reaction of formaldehyde in water solution under neutral conditions. Two mechanisms, a concerted and a stepwise one, were considered with respect to the nucleophilic addition and the proton transfer. Preliminary molecular orbital calculations by means of polarized conti...

Efficient and sustainable Buchwald-Hartwig amination enables the synthesis of new branched polymeric HTL materials for perovskite solar cells with performances comparable those Spiro-OMeTAD.

Total syntheses of alkaloid cis-223B and xenovenine are reported in 3 and 4 steps respectively using a two-directional synthesis/triple reductive amination strategy, and their neurotoxic properties assessed.

Amines are the most important building blocks employed in modern medicinal chemistry. Secondary amines are regularly prepared by the alkylation or reductive amination of the parent amines through transition metal, typically precious metals, catalyzed reactions. In the past few years, the catalytic alkylation of amines with alcohols under hydrogenborrowing conditions as well as the catalytic red...

Highly purified preparations of glutamate synthase catalyze the TPNH-dependent reductive amination of cu-ketoglutarate to form L-glutamate in the presence of either L-glutamine or NH:,. Preparations of the enzyme that lack flavins (FAD and FMN) or the flavins and iron sulfide, catalyzed NH,,-mediated glutamate synthesis, but not glutamine-mediated glutamate synthesis. Participation of enzyme-fl...

The transamination of alkyl-palladium halide N-heterocyclic carbene complexes has enabled the isolation of products that reveal interesting insights into the factors which might be barriers to the development of a palladium-catalysed alkyl-amination reaction.

Dialkylbiaryl phosphines are a valuable class of ligand for Pd-catalyzed amination reactions and have been applied in a range of contexts. This review attempts to aid the reader in the selection of the best choice of reaction conditions and ligand of this class for the most commonly encountered and practically important substrate combinations.

THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME 12-{[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]aminomethyl}-4,8-dimethyl-3,14-dioxatricyclo[9.3.0.0(2,4)]tetradec-7-en-13-one monohydrate), C(23)H(31)NO(4)·H(2)O, was obtained by the reaction of tyramine with parthenolide. The configuration of the new chiral center in the title compound is R, establishing the stereospecificity of the amination reaction. The water molecule is ...
