Bifunctional squaramide catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction of alpha-azido ketones and isatin derived ketiminines were established for the first time with high stereoselectivity. Adducts are valuable synthons for optically active heterocycles.

The polycyclisation of polyeneynes catalyzed by gold(i) has been extended for the first time to the simultaneous formation of up to four carbon–carbon bonds, leading to steroid-like molecules with high stereoselectivity in a single step with low catalyst loadings.

The flavin-containing monooxygenase from Methylophaga sp. strain SK1 (mFMO) is a valuable biocatalyst for the preparation of optically active sulfoxides, among other valuable compounds. In this study, we explored to benefits of using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) when doing oxidation with this biocatalyst, fused to phosphite dehydrogenase for cofactor regeneration (PTDH-mFMO). It was found that optically active sulfoxides could be obtained with slightly higher conversions in 10% v/v NADES when working at substrate concentrations of 50–200 mM, whereas there was no loss in the enantioselectivity. With these results, it is demonstrated for the first time that flavin-containing monooxygenases can be employed as biocatalysts in presence of NADESs.

Background: Coumarin and modified nitrogen heterocyclic nuclei show biological activity. Combining these into a hybrid molecule could lead to new pharmacological agents. A series of hybrid compounds combining coumarin and piperidine, piperazine, purine or tetrahydroisoquinoline moieties were synthesized and evaluated for anti-arrhythmic activity. Methods: The Mannich reaction of coumarins (peurutenicin, peucenol and 6-cyanoumbelliferrone) with formaldehyde and various amines, including several alkaloids – anabasine, theophylline or tetrahydroisoquinolines, proceeds by heating under reflux in dioxane in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. The Suzuki reaction of 6,8-disubstituted umbelliferone triflate was used for the introduction of an aryl substituent in position 7 of the the coumarin framework. Results: Twenty two novel coumarin-based Mannich bases were synthesized via introduction of functional aminomethyl group at position 8 of 6 substituted 7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-ones by Mannich reaction. The results illustrated that the C-6 and C-8 substituents’ effect was obvious in our designed system and there was a relationship between the structures and the anti-arrhythmic activity of the 6,7,8- trisubstituted coumarins. 8-(6,7-dimethoxy-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-tetrahydroisoquinolinylmethyl)- substituted peucenol derivatives shown in vivo a pronounced and selective anti-arrhythmic activity on epinephrine arrhythmias in comparison with natural coumarin peucenol. The moderate toxicity of the new compound encouraged further design of therapeutically relevant analogues based on this novel type of coumarin- tetrahydroisoquinoline hybrids. Conclusion: We have developed a mild reaction protocol to synthesize new mannich products on the basis of substituted coumarins. The anti-arrhythmic activity of coumarin-tetrahydroisoquinoline hybrids was revealed. We report for the first time that coumarin containing 8-(1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) tetrahydroisoquinolinyl)methyl) substituent offer a suitable scaffold for the development of novel anti-arrhythmic agents.

3 Optically active compounds of the type I and 15 optically active compounds of the type II were investigated as co-catalysts in the homogeneous hydrogenation of N-acyl-α-aminocinnamic acids using standard conditions. In the co-catalysts of the type I the phosphorus atom is the center of the asymmetry. In the representatives of type II the side chain is optically active and the three bonded phosphorus either achiral or optically active.The results of the homogeneous hydrogenation are deposited in the Tables I-IV. In the Tables I and IV the degree of the optical induction and the configuration of the excess enantiomer are determined using Rh/P-ratios 1:1,1 and 1:2,2. The Tables II and III show the results applying a Rh/P-ratio of 1:2,2. The observed degree of optical induction is low with the co-catalysts 1-18; only the co-catalyst 19 shows an optical induction of 68%. A change of the configuration of the excess enantiomer of N-benzoylphenylalanine formed by the homogeneous hydrogenation of N-benzoyl-α-cinnamic acid for the first time was observed by varying the Rh/P-ratio of the co-catalysts 14, 17 and 18 from 1:1,1 to 1:2,2.
