Application

  • The first example of a diastereoselective thio-Ugi reaction: a new synthetic approach to chiral imidazole derivatives.: This research presents a novel diastereoselective thio-Ugi reaction, enabling the synthesis of chiral imidazole derivatives, which are essential in asymmetric synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates (Gulevich et al., 2007).
  • Synthesis and serotonin receptor affinities of a series of enantiomers of alpha-methyltryptamines: evidence for the binding conformation of tryptamines at serotonin 5-HT1B receptors.: This study investigates the synthesis and serotonin receptor affinities of alpha-methyltryptamine enantiomers, contributing to the understanding of chiral compounds in medicinal chemistry (Nichols et al., 1988).

Two types of chiral analytes, the urea and amide derivatives of alpha-phenylethylamine, were prepared. The effect of inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding interaction on self-discrimination of the enantiomers of analytes has been investigated using high-resolution (1)H NMR. It was found that the urea

For biocatalytic production of pharmaceutically important chiral amines the ω-transaminase enzymes have proven useful. Engineering of these enzymes has to some extent been accomplished by rational design, but mostly by directed evolution. By use of a homology model a key

A three-component chiral derivatization protocol for determining the enantiopurity of chiral diols by (1)H NMR spectroscopic analysis is described here. The present approach involves the derivatization of 1,2- 1,3- and 1,4-diols with 2-formylphenylboronic acid and enantiopure alpha-methylbenzylamine. This method affords

A short synthetic route to diastereoisomeric atropos dihydro-5H-dibenz[c,e]azepinium salts via reaction of a single enantiomer of (R)-α-methylbenzylamine with a racemic atropos biphenol derivative is described. Compounds prepared via this approach are used to provide strong evidence that structurally related tropos
