A simple and efficient system for the hydration and α-deuteration of nitriles to form amides, α-deuterated nitriles, and α-deuterated amides catalyzed by a single pincer complex of the earth-abundant manganese capable of metal-ligand cooperation is reported. The reaction is selective and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, giving the corresponding amides in moderate to good yields. Changing the solvent from tert-butanol to toluene and using D2O results in formation of α-deuterated nitriles in high selectivity. Moreover, α-deuterated amides can be obtained in one step directly from nitriles and D2O in THF. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the transformations contributing toward activation of the nitriles via a metal-ligand cooperative pathway, generating the manganese ketimido and enamido pincer complexes as the key intermediates for further transformations.

The medicinal chemist toolbox is plenty of (bio)isosteres when looking for a carboxylic acid replacement. However, systematic assessment of acid surrogates is often time consuming and expensive, while prediction of both physicochemical properties (logP and logD) as well as acidity would be desirable at early discovery stages for a better analog design. Herein in this work, to enable decision making on a project, we have synthesized by employing a Diversity-Oriented Synthetic (DOS) methodology, a small library of molecular fragments endowed with acidic properties. By combining in-silico and experimental methodologies these compounds were chemically characterized and, particularly, with the aim to know their physicochemical properties, the aqueous ionization constants (pKa), partition coefficients logD and logP of each fragment was firstly estimated by using molecular modeling studies and then validated by experimental determinations. A face to face comparison between data and the corresponding carboxylic acid might help medicinal chemists in finding the best replacement to be used. Finally, in the framework of Fragment Based Drug Design (FBDD) the small library of fragments obtained with our approach showed good versatility both in synthetic and physico-chemical properties.

A family of aryl-substituted maleimides was prepared and studied for their activity against calmodulin dependant kinase. Inhibitory activities against the enzyme ranged from 34 nM to >20 μM and were dependant upon both the nature of the aryl group and the hydrogen bond donating potential of the maleimide ring. Key interactions with the kinase ATP site and hinge region were found to be consistent with homology modeling predictions.
