The ruthenium-triphos and diphosphine-catalysed amination of alcohols with ammonia is reported. Various types of triphos derivatives with electron-donating functional group were synthesized and used as ligands in the Ru-catalysed alcohol amination with NH3. The triphos derivatives are effective for the formation of primary amines. On the other hand, if hemilabile diphosphines as tridentate liga...

Reductive amination of the C-20 aldehyde group of tylosin and related macrolides yielded a large series of derivatives with potentially useful antibiotic properties. Evaluation of these new compounds was conducted on the basis of: 1) Broad antimicrobial spectrum in vitro, with particular emphasis on inhibition of Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica; 2) in vivo efficacy, especially...

The synthesis and the evaluation as organocatalysts of new chiral guanidines derived from benzimidazoles in the enantioselective α-amination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using di-t-butylazodicarboxylate as aminating agent is herein disclosed. The catalysts are readily synthesized through the reaction of 2-chlorobezimidazole and a chiral amine in moderate-to-good yields. Among all of them, those ...

Unique calix[4]arene-derived, tetracarboxylate dirhodium(II) inclusion complexes have been prepared and evaluated as catalysts for C-H amination.

The site-selective modification of peptides containing dehydroalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan residues has been achieved using rhodium catalysed conjugate additions or palladium catalysed aryl-amination and -etherification reactions.

Abstract To increase the reliability and success rate of drug discovery, efforts have been made to C( sp 3 ) fraction avoid flat molecules. -Rich enantiopure amines are most frequently encountered as chiral auxiliaries, synthetic intermediates for pharmaceutical agents bioactive natural products. Streamlined construction aliphatic has long regarded a paramount challenge. Mainstream approaches, ...

functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) with nh2 groups under a one pot reaction is studied. during the first step of the reaction, cl and chcl2 groups were attached to the surfaces of mwcnts through an electrophilic addition reaction. in the second step of process, cl atoms were replaced with nh2 and amino groups (ethylene diamine and butyl amine) under a nucleophilic substi...
