An enantioselective reduction of azaarene-based ketones through photoredoxasymmetriccatalysis is reported. With a transition metal-free dual catalytic system including a chiral phosphoric acid and a photosensitizer DPZ mediated by visible light, the transformations involved a tandem process involving double single-electron-transfer reductions and enantioselective protonation, providing valuable chiral

A series of quinolinyl and isoquinolinyl phenylketones was synthesized and their CB2 receptor-dependent G-protein activities were determined using the [35S]GTPγS binding assay. Both quinoline and isoquinoline derivatives exhibited similar CB2 receptor agonist activity, the most potent ligands being the 2-(Me2N)-phenyl substituted derivatives, which were also full agonists at the CB2-receptor.
