The chemoselective hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones, catalyzed by Zinc(II) complexes [κ2-(PyCH=NR)ZnX2] [R=CPh3, X=Cl (1) and R=Dipp (2,6-diisoropylphenyl) and X=I (2)], in the presence of pinacolborane (HBpin) at ambient temperature and under solvent-free conditions, which produced the corresponding boronate esters in high yield, is reported. Zinc metal complexes 1 and 2 were derived in 80–90% yield from the reaction of iminopyridine [PyCH=NR] with anhydrous zinc dichloride in dichloromethane at room temperature. The solid-state structures of both zinc complexes were confirmed using X-ray crystallography. Zinc complex 1 was also used as a competent pre-catalyst in the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with HBpin under mild and solvent-free conditions to afford a high yield (up to 97%) of the corresponding secondary amines. The wider substrate scope of both reactions was explored. Catalytic protocols using zinc as a pre-catalyst demonstrated an atom-economic and green method with diverse substrates bearing excellent functional group tolerance. Computational studies established a plausible mechanism for catalytic hydroboration.

To confront a disease like Alzheimer’s disease having complex pathogenesis, development of multitarget-directed ligands has emerged as a promising drug discovery approach. In our endeavor towards the development of multitarget-directed ligands for Alzheimer’s disease, a series of indoloquinoxaline derivatives were designed and synthesized. In vitro cholinesterase inhibition studies revealed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to good cholinesterase inhibitory activity. 6-(6-(Piperidin-1-yl)hexyl)-6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline 9f was identified as the most potent and selective BuChE inhibitor (IC50 = 0.96 μM, selectivity index = 0.17) that possessed 2 fold higher BuChE inhibitory activity compared to the commercially approved reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 1.87 μM). Moreover, compound 9f is also endowed with self-induced Aβ1-42 aggregation inhibitory activity (51.24% inhibition at 50 μM concentration). Some of the compounds of the series also displayed moderate anti-oxidant activity. To perceive a putative binding mode of the compound 9f, molecular docking studies were carried out, and the results pointed out significant interactions of compound 9f with the enzymes in the binding sites of cholinesterases as well as Aβ1-42. Additionally, compound 9f exhibited favorable in silico ADMET properties. Put together these findings project compound 9f as a potential multitarget-directed ligand in the direction of developing novel anti-AD drugs. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

3D printing has the potential to transform the way in which chemical reactions are carried out due to its low-cost, ease-of-use as a technology and its capacity to expedite the development of iteratively enhanced prototypes. In this present study, we developed a novel, low-cost polypropylene (PP) column reactor that was incorporated into an existing continuous-flow reactor for the synthesis of heterocycles. The utility and solvent resistance of the printed devices were explored in SNAr reactions to produce substituted aniline derivatives and in the synthesis of bicyclic and tetracyclic heterocycles. Using this approach, a range of heterocyclic compounds was synthesised including the core structure of the natural product (±)-γ-lycorane and structurally complex compounds based on the tetracyclic core of the erythrina alkaloids.
