An operationally simple protocol for the photocatalytic carbamoylation of imines is reported. Easily available, bench-stable 4-amido Hantzsch ester derivatives serve as precursors to carbamoyl radicals that undergo rapid addition to N-aryl imines. The reaction proceeds under blue light irradiation in the presence of the photocatalyst 3DPAFIPN and Br?nsted/Lewis acid additives. Mechanistic studies indicated a photoredox mechanism that involves carbamoyl radicals.
Structure-activity relationships of the ultrapotent vanilloid resiniferatoxin (RTX): The side chain benzylic methylene

The side chain benzylic methylene is a critical element for the vanilloid activity of resiniferatoxin (2a, RTX), and introduction of branching, oxygen functions, or isosteric substitution at this center proved detrimental, with a decrease of potency of 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to the natural product. Conversely, only a modest erosion of activity was observed upon α-methylation and α-methylenation of the side chain. Surprisingly, introduction of an iodine atom in the guaiacyl moiety of the oxygen isoster 2h led to an unexpected and remarkable (>1000-fold) increase of potency, affording 2i, a compound that outperforms RTX in terms of vanilloid agonism and represents the first one-digit picomolar ligand of a TRP channel discovered to date.
The isolation and synthesis of polyandrocarpamines A and B. Two new 2-aminoimidazolone compounds from the Fijian ascidian, Polyandrocarpa sp.

Chemical investigation of a Fijian ascidian, Polyandrocarpa sp., has resulted in the isolation of two new 2-aminoimidazolone-derived compounds, polyandrocarpamines A (1) and B (2). The structures of these unique metabolites were determined by the interpretation of spectroscopic data and confirmed by total synthesis. The stereospecific synthesis of 1 was accomplished using aldol condensation chemistry to generate an arylidene thiohydantoin that was subsequently transaminated to yield polyandrocarpamine A. Demethylation of synthetic 1 afforded polyandrocarpamine B. Both the natural product and synthetic polyandrocarpamines were assigned Z geometries about the exocyclic double bond (C-5/C-7) on the basis of 13C/1H long-range coupling constants, which were measured using a gHSQMBC experiment.
