A novel, efficient and practical method for copper-catalysed oxidative C-3 amination of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with primary or secondary amines as the nitrogen sources has been developed. A wide variety of 3-aminoquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones were prepared in up to 98% yield with good functional group tolerance for 24 examples. This synthetic strategy features atom economy, concise steps, easy operation...

Abstract NADH-dependent phenylalanine amine dehydrogenase (F-AmDH) engineered from (PheDH) catalyzes the synthesis of aromatic chiral amines prochiral ketone substrates. However, its low coenzyme affinity and catalytic efficiency limit industrial application. Here, we developed a chimeric dehydrogenase, cFLF-AmDH, based on relative independence structure at domain level, combined with substrate...

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 ...

Catalytic hydrotreating of algae bio-crude oil from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) Nannochloropsis sp. was performed. Different Ni-based catalysts, including Ni/γ-Al2O3, Ni-Cu/γ-Al2O3, Ni-Re/γ-Al2O3, and Ni-Cu-Re/γ-Al2O3, (10%Ni, 5%Cu, 2.5%Re) were used in upgrading the oil. Most catalytic systems could effectively eliminate S decrease N O contents, enhance more than 20% improvement higher hea...

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.

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...
