RESUMEN
1,2-Diamination of alkenes represents an attractive way to generate differentiated vicinal diamines, which are prevalent motifs in biologically active compounds and catalysts. However, existing methods are usually limited in scope and produce diamines where one or both nitrogens are protected, adding synthetic steps for deprotection and further N-functionalization to reach a desired target. Furthermore, the range of amino groups that can be introduced at the internal position is fairly limited. Here we describe a 1,2-diamination of styrenes that directly installs a free amino group at the terminal position and a wide variety of unprotected nitrogen nucleophiles (primary or secondary alkyl or aromatic amines, sulfoximines, N-heterocycles, and ammonia surrogate) at the internal position. Two complementary sets of conditions encompass electronically activated and deactivated styrenes with diverse substitution patterns and functional groups. Moreover, this strategy can be extended to the 1,2-aminothiolation of styrenes.
RESUMEN
The uncommon metabolic pathways of organic pollutants are easily overlooked, potentially leading to idiosyncratic toxicity. Prediction of their biotransformation associated with the toxic effects is the very purpose that this work focuses, to develop a de novo method to mechanistically predict the reactive toxicity pathways of uncommon metabolites from start aliphatic amine molecules, which employed sertraline triggered by CYP450 enzymes as a model system, as there are growing concerns about the effects on human health posed by antidepressants in the aquatic environment. This de novo prediction strategy combines computational and experimental methods, involving DFT calculations upon sequential growth, in vitro and in vivo assays, dissecting chemically reactive mechanism relevant to toxicity, and rationalizing the fundamental factors. Significantly, desaturation and debenzylation-aromatization as the emerging metabolic pathways of sertraline have been elucidated, with the detection of DNA adducts of oxaziridine metabolite in mice, highlighting the potential reactive toxicity. Molecular orbital analysis supports the reactivity preference for toxicological-relevant C-N desaturation over N-hydroxylation of sertraline, possibly extended to several other aliphatic amines based on the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle. It was further validated toward some other wide-concerned aliphatic amine pollutants involving atrazine, ε-caprolactam, 6PPD via in silico and in vitro assays, thereby constituting a complete path for de novo prediction from case study to general applications.

The synthesis, characterization, and application of a new cyanostyrylcopillar[5]arene 1 is reported. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other spectroscopic techniques confirm the identity of the new copillar 1. The X-ray diffraction study reveals that the copillar 1 exhibits a 1D supramolecular chain in the solid state involving π···π interactions along the crystallographic c-axis and 1D chains are further connected by interchain C-H···π interactions to establish 2D supramolecular layers within the crystallographic bc-plane. 2D supramolecular chains on further packing introduce a 3D structure with void spaces filled with hexane molecules. Through minimal deviation in the dihedral angle, the cyano-substituted ethylenic group in 1 shows a conjugation with the phenolic -OH, favoring intramolecular bond conjugation (ITBC) and colorimetrically detects the aliphatic amines over aromatic amines in CH3CN. Among the aliphatic amines, tertiary amines are differentiated from primary and secondary amines by the naked eye through color change. Both in solution and solid states, 1 displays vapor phase detection of volatile aliphatic amines. Antibacterial activity analysis shows that while 1 exhibits the antibiofilm action against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, it promotes biofilm formation by Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
