The high tendency of α-amino aldehydes to undergo 1,2-additions and their relatively low stability under basic conditions have largely prevented their use as pronucleophiles in the realm of asymmetric catalysis, particularly for the production of quaternary α-amino aldehydes. Herein, it is demonstrated that the chemistry of α-amino aldehydes may be expanded beyond these limits by documenting the first direct α-alkylation of α-branched α-amino aldehydes with nitroolefins. The reaction produces densely functionalized products bearing up to two, quaternary and tertiary, vicinal stereocenters with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. DFT modeling leads to the proposal that intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the NH group and the carbonyl oxygen atom in the starting α-amino aldehyde is key for reaction stereocontrol.

A series of leucinol analogs were investigated as leucyl-tRNA synthetase-targeted mTORC1 inhibitors. Among them, compound 5, (S)-4-isobutyloxazolidin-2-one, showed the most potent inhibition on the mTORC1 pathway in a concentration-dependent manner. Compound 5 inhibited downstream phosphorylation of mTORC1 by blocking leucine-sensing ability of LRS, without affecting the catalytic activity of LRS. In addition, compound 5 exhibited cytotoxicity against rapamycin-resistant colon cancer cells, suggesting that LRS has the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic target.

A superior substrate sequence for BACE1 containing transition-state mimics at the scissile site was evaluated as a protease inhibitor. Hydroxymethylcarbonyl (HMC) and hydroxyethylamine (HEA) isosteres were selected as the transition state mimics, and inco
