α-Aryl amines are prevalent in pharmaceutically active compounds and natural products. Herein, we describe a Ni-catalyzed protocol for their synthesis from readily available α-aryl ethers. While α-aryl ethers have been used as electrophiles in Ni-catalyzed C-C bond formations, their use in C-heteroatom bond formation is much less prevalent. Preliminary mechanistic insight suggests that oxidative addition is facilitated by an anionic ligand and that reductive elimination is a reversible process.

Recently, investigations of the complex mechanisms of allostery have led to a deeper understanding of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activation and signaling processes. In this context, muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are highly relevant due to their exemplary role in the study of allosteric modulation. In this work, we compare and discuss two sets of putatively dualsteric ligands, which were designed to connect carbachol to different types of allosteric ligands. We chose derivatives of TBPB [1-(1′-(2-tolyl)-1,4′-bipiperidin-4-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one] as M1-selective putative bitopic ligands, and derivatives of benzyl quinolone carboxylic acid (BQCA) as an M1 positive allosteric modulator, varying the distance between the allosteric and orthosteric building blocks. Luciferase protein complementation assays demonstrated that linker length must be carefully chosen to yield either agonist or antagonist behavior. These findings may help to design biased signaling and/or different extents of efficacy.

A KOtBu and ethyl acetate mediated efficient methodology has been developed for the acetylation of primary and secondary alcohols where ethyl acetate is the source of acetyl group. The reaction is fast, mild, efficient, and highly selective towards the primary alcohols.
