Abstract: We have reported synthesis of complex [Rh(COD)(L{Me})Cl] (III), where L{Me} (II) is N-(1-methylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)benzamide and COD is 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Monodentate ligand L{Me} was synthesized by deprotonation of [HL{Me}][OTf] (I) with sodium hydride. [HL{Me}][OTf] was synthesised by methylation of N-(pyridin-4-yl)benzamide (HL) with methyl triflate. All the three synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, NMR (1H and 13C), elemental and MS analyses. The structure of complex I was further explored with single crystal XRD and computational studies. Complex I was found as a good catalyst for C–N coupling reactions. Molecular docking revealed strong binding of rhodium complex with myoglobin.

The transition metal catalyzed amide bond forming reaction of esters with amines has been developed as an advanced approach for overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods. The broad scope of substrates in transition metal catalyzed amidations remains a challenge. Here, a manganese(I)-catalyzed method for the direct synthesis of amides from a various number of esters and amines is reported with unprecedented substrate scope using a low catalyst loading. A wide range of aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic esters, even in fatty acid esters, reacted with a diverse range of primary aryl amines, primary alkyl amines, and secondary alkyl amines to form amides. It is noteworthy that this approach provides the first example of the transition metal catalyzed amide bond forming reaction from fatty acid esters and amines. The acid-base mechanism for the manganese(I)-catalyzed direct amidation of esters with amines was elucidated by DFT calculations.

The cholinesterase enzymes play a vital role in maintaining balanced levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central nervous system. However, the overexpression of these enzymes results in hampered neurotransmission. Both the major forms of cholinesterase enzymes viz. acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) play a crucial role in blocking neurotransmission; therefore, in recent years, a strategy of dual cholinesterase inhibition is being explored. Herein, we developed an energy-optimized e-pharmacophore hypothesis AHHPRR from AChE-donepezil complex and screened a set of 15 scaffolds that were designed imaginarily. The ligand with N-(1-benzylpyridinium) benzamide framework has shown the highest fitness and volume score, which was chosen for synthesis and validation. A series of pyridinium benzamides were synthesized and screened for cholinesterase inhibition that led to the identification of 7b, a naphthalene containing N-(1-benzylpiperidine) benzamide as a potent dual AChE and BChE inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.176, and 0.47 μM, respectively. The kinetic study indicated that 7b inhibits AChE in a non-competitive manner with Ki value of 0.21 μM, and BChE in a mixed-fashion with Ki of 0.15 μM. The observed mode of inhibition was corroborated with molecular docking studies. The MD simulation studies pointed out that both AChE and BChE undergo low conformational changes in complex with 7b. The benzamide 7b displayed high BBB permeability in PAMPA assay, which indicates its potential for further exploration in preclinical studies for Alzheimer's disease.
