Group 5 Metal Binaphtholate Complexes for Catalytic Asymmetric Hydroaminoalkylation and Hydroamination/Cyclization
摘要:
3,3'-Silylated binaphtholate tantalum and niobium complexes were shown to be efficient catalysts for the asymmetric hydroaminoalkylation of N-methylaniline derivatives and N-benzylmethylamine with simple alkenes in enantioselectivities of up to 80% ee. No hydroaminoalkylation was observed with aminoalkenes; rather, exclusive asymmetric hydroamination/cyclization took place in up to 81% ee.
Disclosed herein are secondary amine compounds that inhibit tRNA synthetase. The compounds of the invention are useful in inhibiting tRNA synthetase in Gram-negative bacteria and are useful in killing Gram-negative bacteria. The secondary amine compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment of tuberculosis.
