The kinetic enzymatic resolution of azo acetates via aminolysis with Candida antarctica lipase B has been investigated using benzylamine as amine component. The products obtained from this biotransformation in high enantiomeric purity can serve as valuable precursors for various amino alcohols, as exemplified by the synthesis of the serotonin reuptake inhibitor (S)-(+)-cericlamine.

3-Aryltyramines were prepared in one single step from tyramine and various arenediazonium salts by radical arylation. Binding as well as enzyme inhibition data of the 14 compounds do not prove true interaction with BACE-1. In contrast, with BACE-2 inhibition and binding could be confirmed indicating that 3-aryltyramines are potential starting points for a drug discovery effort.3-Aryltyramines were prepared in one single step from tyramine and various arenediazonium salts by radical arylation.

tert-Butyl phenylazocarboxylates are versatile building blocks for synthetic organic chemistry. Nucleophilic substitutions of the benzene ring proceed with aromatic amines and alcohols under mild conditions. The attack of aliphatic amines may be directed to the aromatic core as well as to the carbonyl unit leading to azocarboxamides. The benzene ring can further be modified through radical reactions, in which the tert-butyloxycarbonylazo group enables the generation of aryl radicals at either elevated temperatures or under acidic conditions. Radical reactions include oxygenation, halogenation, carbohalogenation, carbohydroxylation, and aryl–aryl coupling.

Substituted 2-aminobiphenyls have been prepared from arylhydrazines and anilines via radical arylation reactions under simple oxidative conditions. The strong directing effect of the free and unprotonated amino functionality leads to high regioselectivities, and anilines have been shown to be significantly better aryl radical acceptors than nitrobenzenes or phenyl ethers. The methodology is also applicable to phenols, which react best as phenolates under strongly basic conditions. Finally, radical arylation reactions of anilines and anilinium salts under various conditions have for the first time demonstrated that regioselectivity can also be controlled through the rearomatization step and that the addition of an aryl radical to a substituted benzene might even be reversible.

A small library of Fmoc-protected 3-arylated tyrosines was created by radical arylation. The new building blocks were successfully applied in the synthesis of two novel neurotensin receptor ligands. Both isomers showed high affinity for the human NTS2 receptor with Ki values in the nanomolar range. Interestingly, subtype selectivity strongly depends on the configuration of the peptide in position 11. Isomer (11R)-3 displayed an excellent preference for NTS2 compared to NTS1.

The highly constitutively active G-protein coupled receptor US28 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an interesting pharmacological target because of its implication on viral dissemination, cardiovascular diseases and tumorigenesis. We found that dihydroisoquinolinone and tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffolds may be promising lead structures for novel US28 allosteric inverse agonists. These scaffolds were rapidly synthesized by radical carboamination reactions followed by non-radical transformations. Our novel US28 allosteric modulators provide valuable scaffolds for further ligand optimization and may be helpful chemical tools to investigate molecular mechanisms of US28 constitutive signaling and its role in pathogenesis.

Hydroperoxides, olefins, and arenediazonium salts selectively combine to give azo compounds via an iron(II)-mediated three-component reaction. Starting with a fragmentation liberating acetic acid, the hydroperoxides act as radical source and the diazonium ions as nitrogen-centered radical scavengers.Hydroperoxides, olefins, and arenediazonium salts selectively combine to give azo compounds via an iron(II)-mediated three-component reaction.

Abstract
Radical arylations of para-substituted phenols and phenyl ethers proceeded with good regioselectivity at the ortho position with respect to the hydroxy or alkoxy group. The reactions were conducted with arenediazonium salts as the aryl radical source, titanium(III) chloride as the reductant, and diluted hydrochloric acid as the solvent. Substituted biaryls were obtained from hydroxy- and alkoxy-substituted benzylamines, phenethylamines, and aromatic amino acids. The methodology described offers a fast, efficient, and cost-effective new access to diversely functionalized biphenyl alcohols and ethers. Free phenolic hydroxy groups, aromatic and aliphatic amines, as well as amino acid substructures, are well tolerated. Two examples for the applicability of the methodology are the partial synthesis of a β-secretase inhibitor and the synthesis of a calcium-channel modulator.
