The construction of N-heterocyclic eight-membered rings with good regio-, stereo-, and enantioselective control remains a formidable challenge in asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we report palladium-catalyzed [4 + 4] cycloaddition anthranils γ-methylidene-δ-valerolactones the presence Et3B, delivering highly functionalized tetrahydrobenzo[b]azocine derivatives high efficiency diastereoselectivities enantioselectivities (up to 92% yield, 20:1 dr, 99% ee). Moreover, complex substrates derived from natural products (bearing different functionalities) could be well-tolerated catalytic cycloaddition. mild reaction conditions, conjunction broad substrate scope (44 examples), level stereoselectivity, provide great potential build azocine compounds simple building blocks.

We report here a reaction that selectively deaminates primary amines and anilines under mild conditions with remarkable functional group tolerance including range of pharmaceutical compounds, amino acids, sugars, natural products. An anomeric amide reagent is uniquely capable facilitating the through intermediacy an unprecedented monosubstituted isodiazene intermediate. In addition to dramatically simplifying deamination compared existing protocols, our approach enables strategic applications iminium amine-directed chemistries as traceless methods. Mechanistic computational studies support intermedicacy which exhibits unexpected divergence from previously studied secondary isodiazenes, leading cage-escaping, free radical species engage in chain, hydrogen-atom transfer process involving aliphatic diazenyl intermediates.

Late-stage modification of drug molecules is a fast method to introduce diversity into the already biologically active scaffold. A notable number analogs mefloquine, chloroquine, and hydroxychloroquine have been synthesized, starting from readily available pharmaceutical ingredient (API). In current review, all modifications sites reactivity types are summarized provide insight chemistry these molecules. The approaches include introduction simple groups functionalities. Coupling other drugs, polymers, or carriers afforded hybrid compounds conjugates with either easily hydrolyzable more chemically inert bonds. utility some was tested in antiprotozoal, antibacterial, antiproliferative assays, as well enantiodifferentiation experiments.
