Synthesis and Antifungal Activity Against Candida Strains of Mesoionic System Derived From 1,3-Thyazolium-5-thiolate






General procedure for the preparation of ten newly synthetized compounds - 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4- (p-isopropylphenyl)-1,3-thiazolium-5-(N-arylacetamide)thio chloridrates 7a-j Mesoionic 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-(pisopropylphenyl)-1,3-thiazolium-5-thiolate 5 (278 mmol) was dissolved in hot ethanol and then 2-chloro-Narylacetamides 6a-j (278 mmol) were added. The system was refluxed for 4 h and then concentrated at reduced pressure, giving a yellow-orange solid.

Abstract Image
A base-metal, Fe(0)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of imines to obtain amines is reported here which outperforms its noble-metal congeners with the highest TON of 17000. The catalyst, (aNHC)Fe(CO)4, works under very mild conditions, with extremely low catalyst loading (down to 0.005 mol %), and exhibits excellent chemoselectivity. The facile nature of the imine reduction under mild conditions has been further demonstrated by reducing imines towards expensive commercial amines and biologically important N-alkylated sugars, which are difficult to achieve otherwise. A mechanistic pathway and the source of chemoselectivity for imine hydrosilylation have been proposed on the basis of the well-defined catalyst and isolable intermediates along the catalytic cycle.

As an undergraduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology  (1996-2000), Eric worked on copper-catalyzed conjugate reduction chemistry under the direction of Professor Stephen Buchwald.  His Ph.D. research with Professor Brian Stoltz at the California Institute of Technology (2000-2005) focused on the development of synthetically useful novel oxidation systems using palladium catalysis.  Upon completion, he then continued his studies as an American Cancer Society postdoctoral associate at Stanford (2005-2008) with Prof. Barry Trost, where his studies concerned the use of ruthenium and palladium catalyzed cycloisomerizations for the formation of polycyclic compounds.  He then began his independent career as an assistant professor at Colorado State University in 2008. Eric is currently an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA.
