The liquid-phase hydrogenation of cinnamonitrile to selectively obtain the unsaturated primary amine (cinnamylamine) was studied at 383 K and 13 bar on Ni, Co, Ru and Cu metals supported on a commercial silica. Ni/SiO2 and Co/SiO2 were the most active catalysts for cinnamonitrile conversion but formed only small amounts of cinnamylamine. In contrast, Cu/SiO2 and Ru/SiO2 presented low activity for cinnamonitrile hydrogenation but formed selectively cinnamylamine in the liquid phase; nevertheless, on both samples the carbon balance was only about 40%. In an attempt of promoting the rate and yield to cinnamylamine, additional catalytic runs were carried out at higher temperatures and H2 pressures on a highly dispersed Cu(11%)/SiO2 catalyst prepared by the chemisorption-hydrolysis method. Results showed that when cinnamonitrile hydrogenation was performed at 403 K and 40 bar on Cu(11%)/SiO2, the yield to cinnamylamine was 74% giving as by-product only the unsaturated secondary amine (dicinnamylamine).

Transaminase enzymes (TAms) have been widely used for the amination of aldehydes and ketones, often resulting in optically pure products. In this work, transaminases were directly reacted with hydrazones in a novel approach to form amine products. Several substrates were investigated, including those with furan and phenyl moieties. It was determined that the amine yields increased when an additional electrophile was added to the reaction mixture, suggesting that they can sequester the hydrazine released in the reaction. Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), a cofactor for transaminases, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-aldehydes were both found to increase the yield of amine formed. Notably, the amination of (S)-(?)-1-amino-2-(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine (SAMP) hydrazones gave promising results as a method to form chiral β-substituted amines in good yield.

A series of β2-adrenoceptor agonists with an 8-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-6-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazine-3(4H)-one moiety is presented. The stimulatory effects of the compounds on human β2-adrenoceptor and β1-adrenoceptor were characterized by a cell-based assay. Their smooth muscle relaxant activities were tested on isolated guinea pig trachea. Most of the compounds were found to be potent and selective agonists of the β2-adrenoceptor. One of the compounds, (R)-18c, possessed a strong β2-adrenoceptor agonistic effect with an EC50 value of 24 pM. It produced a full and potent airway smooth muscle relaxant effect same as olodaterol. Its onset of action was 3.5 min and its duration of action was more than 12 h in an in vitro guinea pig trachea model of bronchodilation. These results suggest that (R)-18c is a potential candidate for long-acting β2-AR agonists.
