2-a]pyridines in high to moderate yields by microwave direct palladium-catalyzed C-H alkenylation between bromoalkenes and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. The scope and limitation of the palladium(0)-catalyzed alkenylation method were investigated. Optimized conditions were successfully applied to a wide variety of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives and bromoalkenes. The compatibility of the synthesis with

6-Cyanouridine 5'-phosphate was shown to act as a competitive inhibitor of yeast OMP decarboxylase, with a K-i value of 1.1 X 10(-5) M. Upon binding by the active site of yeast OMP decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.23), the Raman stretching frequency of the nitrile group of 6-cyanouridine 5'-phosphate decreases from 2240 to 2225 cm(-1). Based on the behavior of a model compound, 6-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil, and on vibrational calculations, the observed change in stretching frequency is attributed to desolvation of the ligand, and distortion of the ligand in which the nitrile group moves out of the plane of the pyrimidine ring. Similar distortions may play a role in substrate activation by OMP decarboxylase, contributing to the catalytic process. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A detailed account on chiral secondary amine salt promoted enantioselective intramolecular formal aza-[3 + 3] cycloadditions is described here for the first time. The dependence of enantioselectivity on the structural feature of these chiral amines is thoroughly investigated. This study also reveals a very interesting reversal of the stereochemistry in the respective cycloadducts obtained using C-1- and C-2-symmetric amine salts. In addition, the influence of solvents, counteranions, and temperatures on the enantioselectivity is described, and a unified mechanistic model based on experimental results as well as semiempirical calculations is proposed.
