TRPM8 antagonists derived from its cognate ligand, (-)-menthol, are underrepresented. We determine the absolute stereochemistry of a well-known TRPM8 antagonist, (-)-menthyl 1, using VCD and 2D NMR. We explore 1 for its antagonist effects of the human TRPM8 (hTRPM8) orthologue to uncover species-dependent inhibition versus rat channels. (-)-Menthyl 1 inhibits menthol- and icilin-evoked Ca2+ responses at hTRPM8 with IC50 values of 805 ± 200 nM and 1.8 ± 0.6 μM, respectively, while more potently inhibiting agonist responses at the rat orthologue (rTRPM8 IC50 (menthol) = 117 ± 18 nM, IC50 (icilin) = 521 ± 20 nM). Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings of hTRPM8 confirm the 1 inhibition of menthol-stimulated currents, with an IC50 of 700 ± 200 nM. We demonstrate that 1 possesses ≥400-fold selectivity for hTRPM8 versus hTRPA1/hTRPV1. (-)-menthyl 1 can be used as a novel chemical tool to study hTRPM8 pharmacology and differences in species commonly used in drug discovery.

The ubiquity of nitrogen-containing small molecules in medicine necessitates the continued search for improved methods for C-N bond formation. Electrophilic amination often requires a disparate toolkit of reagents whose selection depends on the specific structure and functionality of the substrate to be aminated. Further, many of these reagents are challenging to handle, engage in undesired side reactions, and function only within a narrow scope. Here we report the use of diazirines as practical reagents for the decarboxylative amination of simple and complex redox-active esters. The diaziridines thus produced are readily diversifiable to amines, hydrazines, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles in one step. The reaction has also been applied in fluorous phase synthesis with a perfluorinated diazirine.
Triiodide-Mediated δ-Amination of Secondary C?H Bonds

The Cδ?H amination of unactivated, secondary C?H bonds to form a broad range of functionalized pyrrolidines has been developed by a triiodide (I3?)-mediated strategy. By in situ 1) oxidation of sodium iodide and 2) sequestration of the transiently generated iodine (I2) as I3?, this approach precludes undesired I2-mediated decomposition which can otherwise limit synthetic utility to only weak C(sp3)?H bonds. The mechanism of this triiodide-mediated cyclization of unbiased, secondary C(sp3)?H bonds, by either thermal or photolytic initiation, is supported by NMR and UV/Vis data, as well as intercepted intermediates.
