Sulfonic acid functionalized over biguanidine fabricated silica-coated heterogeneous magnetic nanoparticles (NP@SO3H) have been synthesized, well characterized and explored for the first time, as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for N-formylation of primary amines under mild reaction conditions.

ABSTRACTAromatic amines like 2-phenylethylamine (2-PEA) and benzylamine (BAm) have been identified as novel growth substrates of the betaproteobacteriumAromatoleum aromaticumEbN1, which degrades a wide variety of aromatic compounds in the absence of oxygen under denitrifying growth conditions. The catabolic pathway of these amines was identified, starting with their oxidative deamination to the corresponding aldehydes, which are then further degraded via the enzymes of the phenylalanine or benzyl alcohol metabolic pathways. Two different periplasmic quinohemoprotein amine dehydrogenases involved in 2-PEA or BAm metabolism were identified and characterized. Both enzymes consist of three subunits, contain two hemeccofactors in their α-subunits, and exhibit extensive processing of their γ-subunits, generating four intramolecular thioether bonds and a cysteine tryptophylquinone (CTQ) cofactor. One of the enzymes was present in cells grown with 2-PEA or other substrates, showed an α2β2γ2composition, and had a rather broad substrate spectrum, which included 2-PEA, BAm, tyramine, and 1-butylamine. In contrast, the other enzyme was specifically induced in BAm-grown cells, showing an αβγ composition and activity only with BAm and 2-PEA. Since the former enzyme showed the highest catalytic efficiency with 2-PEA and the latter with BAm, they were designated 2-PEADH and benzylamine dehydrogenase (BAmDH). The catalytic properties and inhibition patterns of 2-PEADH and BAmDH showed considerable differences and were compared to previously characterized quinohemoproteins of the same enzyme family.IMPORTANCEThe known substrate spectrum ofA. aromaticumEbN1 is expanded toward aromatic amines, which are metabolized as sole substrates coupled to denitrification. The characterization of the two quinohemoprotein isoenzymes involved in degrading either 2-PEA or BAm expands the knowledge of this enzyme family and establishes for the first time that the necessary maturation of their quinoid CTQ cofactors does not require the presence of molecular oxygen. Moreover, the study revealed a highly interesting regulatory phenomenon, suggesting that growth with BAm leads to a complete replacement of 2-PEADH by BAmDH, which has considerably different catalytic and inhibition properties.

Anhydrous titanium(III) chloride was found to be a simple and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for ring opening of epoxides at ambient temperature. The reaction proceeded smoothly with anilines as well as azide ion as nucleophiles to give the corresponding β-amino alcohols and β-azido alcohols in moderate to good yields.

Asymmetric ring-opening reactions of meso-epoxides by aromatic amines were achieved by using some chiral metal–organic frameworks. The corresponding β-amino alcohols were obtained with good yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

<p>Nucleophilic ring opening reactions of epoxides with aromatic amines are in the forefront of the synthetic organic chemistry research to build new bioactive scaffolds. Here, a convenient, green and highly efficient regioselective ring opening of sterically hindered (2R,3S)-3-(<i>N</i>-Boc-amino)-1-oxirane-4-phenylbutane with various poorly reactive aromatic amines are accomplished under microwave irradiation in nitromethane. All the reactions effectively implemented for various aromatic amines involves reuse of nitromethane that supports its dual role as a solvent and catalyst. The corresponding new β-alcohol analogs of hydroxyethylamine (HEA) are isolated in 41-98% yields. The reactions proceed under mild conditions for a broad range of less reactive and sterically hindered aromatic amines. Proton NMR and UV-visible spectroscopic studies suggest that the nucleophilicity of amines is influenced by nitromethane, which is substantiated by the extensive computational studies. Overall, this methodology elucidates the first time use of nitromethane as a solvent for the ring opening reactions under microwave conditions involving equimolar ratio of epoxide and aromatic amine without any catalyst, facile ring opening of complex epoxide by less reactive aromatic amines, low reaction time, less energy consumption, recycling of the solvent and simple workup procedures.</p>
