Vabicaserin is a potent 5-hydroxytryptamine(2C) agonist that is currently being developed for the treatment of the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia. In this study, in vitro and in vivo metabolism of vabicaserin was evaluated in mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, and humans, and the structures of the metabolites were characterized by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Vabic...

Cyanide-catalyzed aldimine coupling was employed to synthesize compounds with 1,2-ene-diamine and alpha-imine-amine structural motifs: 1,2,N,N'-tetraphenyletheylene-1,2-diamine (13) and (+/-)-2,3-di-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline (17), respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction provided solid-state structures and density functional theory calculations were used to probe isomeric p...

Methods for imine trifluoromethylation are of great importance because amines with trifluoromethylated stereogenic centers are useful building blocks for synthetic chemistry and drug discovery. Herein, we describe a new copper(II)-catalyzed imine trifluoromethylation method without the use of Lewis base activators, presumably through cooperative activation.

Borohydride reduction of a Borromean Ring (BR) complex containing six zinc(II) ions and 12 imine bonds has resulted in its demetallation, producing a neutral BR compound and also its free macrocycle, following cleavage of at least one of the imine bonds in the ethanolic reaction mixture.

Silica nanoparticles equipped with an artificial imine reductase display remarkable activity towards cyclic imine- and NAD(+) reduction. The method, based on immobilization and protection of streptavidin on silica nanoparticles, shields the biotinylated metal cofactor against deactivation yielding over 46 000 turnovers in pure samples and 4000 turnovers in crude cellular extracts.

The mol-ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C14H14N2O2, displays an E conformation with respect the imine C=N double bond. The mol-ecule is approximately planar, with the dihedral angle formed by the planes of the pyridine and benzene rings being 5.72 (6)°. There is an intra-molecular hydrogen bond involving the phenolic H and imine N atoms.

Selective oxidation of benzylic amines to imines with atmospheric O2 is achieved in water on TiO2 under UV irradiation. The afforded imine could be easily separated and TiO2 can be recycled by filtration. To scale up, gram-scale imine products can be obtained.

The title compound, [Fe(2)Pd(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(11)H(10)NO)(2)Cl(2)], exhibits a square-planar geometry at the Pd(II) atom, which is determined by inversion-related chlorine and ferrocenyl-imine mol-ecules across a center of symmetry. The ferrocenyl-imine moieties are trans to each other.

Two macrocyclic compounds with a rhomboid molecular shape, composed of a π-conjugated framework and an imine or amine functionality, were synthesized. The amine-containing macrocycle crystallizes with step-like interaction of each molecule, forming a columnar arrangement, although dispersion of the imine gelates upon ultrasonification.

the reaction of copper(ii) chloride and zinc(ii) chloride with n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-salicylaldehydene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide(h2l2a) or (mpsb), n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-(3'-methoxysalicylaldehydene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide (h2l2b) or (mpmsb) and n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-(2'-hydroxyacetylene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide (h2l2c) (mphb) leads to th...
