The synthesis of axially chiral ligands 1-(3′,6′-di-t-butyl- 2′-hydroxy-1′-naphthyl)-3-R-isoquinoline (R = H, Pri, But) (LR-H) is described. Ligands with unsubstituted isoquinolinyl rings tend to give 1:2 metal complexes. The syntheses and crystal structures of Li2(LH)2(THF)2 (9), (LH)2Ti(OPri)2 (12), Zn(L H)2 (13) and [Mg(LH)2]2 (14) are reported. Complex formation is highly stereoselective; the ligands in 1:2 complexes have the same stereochemistry (i.e. R,R and S,S but not R,S), whereas in the binuclear magnesium compound 14 the bridging and non-bridging ligands LH have opposite stereochemistry. The reaction of L H-H with Pd(acac)2 afforded the N,O chelate Pd(acac)(LH) (10), whereas towards K2PtCl4 the same ligand acts as an N-donor only, to give trans-PtCl2(L H-H)2 (11) in which the OH groups are hydrogen-bonded to one of the two chloride ligands. The more bulky ligand with a t-butyl substituent in the 3-position of the isoquinolinyl ring reacts with zinc and magnesium bis(amides) to give the mixed-ligand species (LBu) ZnN(SiMe3)2 and (LBu)MgN(SiMe3) 2, respectively, which catalyse the ring-opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone (CL) and rac-lactide (LA).

Host-guest assemblies of a designed 1,4-bis(diarylamino)naphthalene and V-shaped aromatic amphiphiles consisting of two pentamethylbenzene moieties bridged by an m -phenylene unit bearing two hydrophilic side chains emerged as highly reducing photoredox catalysis systems in water. An efficient demethoxylative hydrogen transfer of Weinreb amides has been developed. The present supramolecular strategy permits facile tuning of visible-light photoredox catalysis in water.
Cobalt-catalysed C–H methylation for late-stage drug diversification
Ackermann, Lutz,Friis, Stig D.,Johansson, Magnus J.

The magic methyl effect is well acknowledged in medicinal chemistry, but despite its significance, accessing such analogues via derivatization at a late stage remains a pivotal challenge. In an effort to mitigate this major limitation, we here present a strategy for the cobalt-catalysed late-stage C–H methylation of structurally complex drug molecules. Enabling broad applicability, the transformation relies on a boron-based methyl source and takes advantage of inherently present functional groups to guide the C–H activation. The relative reactivity observed for distinct classes of functionalities were determined and the sensitivity of the transformation towards a panel of common functional motifs was tested under various reaction conditions. Without the need for prefunctionalization or postdeprotection, a diverse array of marketed drug molecules and natural products could be methylated in a predictable manner. Subsequent physicochemical and biological testing confirmed the magnitude with which this seemingly minor structural change can affect important drug properties.
