Abstract: Several highly efficient and magnetically recyclable cobalt catalytic systems were prepared using magnetic chitosan and some safe and available organic compounds (Co-ligand@MNPs/Ch). The structure of these nanocomposites was confirmed by various physicochemical techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, TGA, VSM, TEM, SEM, CHNS and ICP-OES. These nano composites exhibit remarkable catalytic efficiency for Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions in mild and green reaction conditions. The facile accessibility of starting materials, possible performance in air and eco-friendly conditions are merits of our catalysts. In addition, to describe and go insight to role and effect of ligands present in these catalysts, electrostatic interactions, density functional theory (DFT) model in molecular method were employed.

A method for the synthesis of functionalized piperidines containing 3 contiguous stereocentres in the 2-,3- and 4- positions uses a diastereoselective nitro-Mannich to control stereochemistry. The nitro-Mannich reaction between a β-aryl/heteroaryl substituted nitroalkanes and glyoxylate imine provides β-nitro-amines with good selectivity (70:30 to >95:5) for the syn, anti-diastereoisomers. Reductive cyclisation with BF3.OEt2 and Et3SiH gave, after purification, stereochemically pure piperidines in 19–57% yield for ten examples with different 4-aryl/heteroaryl substituents.

p-Coumaric acid is a known inhibitor of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the initial steps of the melanin synthesis in human and other species. However, its low lipophilicity impairs its penetration through skin and efficacy as antimelanogenic agent indeed. Accordingly, this paper reports the assessment of several coumaric acid derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors and antimelanogenic agents in in vitro, in silico and ex vivo assays. The compounds were designed with modifications in the aromatic and acid moieties of p-coumaric acid, being the coumarate esters the most promising derivatives. The compounds showed higher tyrosinase inhibitory activity (pIC50 3.7–4.2) than the parent acid, being compounds 1d, 1e and 1f the most potent inhibitors. Docking analysis showed that these esters are competitive inhibitors per se, and act independently of a redox mechanism as suggested by DPPH assays. Moreover, the esters showed efficacy in reducing the melanin deposition in human skin fragments at 0.1% concentration, especially compound 1e. In summary, there is an important equilibria between tyrosinase affinity and lipophilicity that must be considered to get effective antimelanogenic agents with adequate permeability in the skin.
