Abstract
Basic amines show broad bioactivity and remain a promising source of new medicines. The direct photoalkylation of imines offers a promising strategy for complex amines. However, the lack of efficient imine photoreactivity hinders this reaction and remains a fundamental limitation in organic photochemistry. We report an efficient photoalkylation of imines that provides primary amines directly without protecting or leaving groups. The transformation effects C-H addition across N-H imines under energy-transfer photocatalysis by a ketone. Our method is distinguished from organometallic, metal-catalyzed, and photoredox approaches to imine alkylation by its lack of protecting groups and its broad scope, which includes unactivated alkanes, protic substrates, basic amines, heterocycles, and ketone imines. We highlight this scope through the condensation and alkylation of two pharmaceutical ketones, providing complex amines succinctly. Our mechanistic analysis supports a three-step process, involving hydrogen-atom transfer to an imine triplet excited state, intersystem crossing, and radical recombination, with photocatalytic enhancement through energy transfer. We further show that N-H imines are more photoreactive than N-substituted imines, a distinction partially explained by sterics and side reactions. To fully explain this distinction, we introduce the thermodynamic parameter excited-state hydrogen-atom affinity, which is highly effective at predicting the photoreactivity of imines.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an RNA virus belonging to the coronavirus family responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It primarily affects the pulmonary system, which is the target of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), for which many new compounds have been developed. In this study, phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors are being investigated. The inhibition of PDE4 enzyme produces anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects in the lung by inducing an increase in cAMP concentrations. Piclamilast and rolipram are known selective inhibitors of PDE4, which are unfortunately endowed with common side effects, such as nausea and emesis. The selective inhibition of the phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) subtype may represent an intriguing technique for combating this highly contagious disease with fewer side effects. In this article, molecular docking studies for the selective inhibition of the PDE4B enzyme have been carried out on 21 in-house compounds. The compounds were docked into the pocket of the PDE4B catalytic site, and in most cases, they were almost completely superimposed onto piclamilast. Then, in order to enlarge our study, drug-likeness prediction studies were performed on the compounds under study.

Abstract
We disclose an asymmetric total synthesis of prostaglandin C2 TBS ether, a derivative of an extremely sensitive natural prostaglandin C2. The key to the synthesis is a SmI2-mediated ketyl-enoate reaction that leads to the formation of the functionalized cyclopentane ring with high-level stereochemical control. Access to the crucial alkene system is realized late in the synthesis by the implementation of a Grignard addition/dehydration/metathesis sequence.

Abstract
The direct replacement of sp3 C-H bonds with simple amine units (-NH2) remains synthetically challenging, although primary aliphatic amines are ubiquitous in medicinal chemistry and natural product synthesis. We report a mild and selective protocol for preparing primary and secondary aliphatic amines in a single pot, based on intermolecular sp3 C-H imination. The first C-H imination of diverse alkanes, this method shows useful site-selectivity within substrates bearing multiple sp3 C-H bonds. Furthermore, this reaction tolerates polar functional groups relevant for complex molecule synthesis, highlighted in the synthesis of amine pharmaceuticals and amination of natural products. We characterize a unique C-H imination mechanism based on radical rebound to an iminyl radical, supported by kinetic isotope effects, stereoablation, resubmission, and computational modeling. This work constitutes a selective method for complex amine synthesis and a new mechanistic platform for C-H amination.

Abstract
Hydropropargylation of enamides was achieved in good yields through the 1,4-addition of enamides to the α,β-unsaturated carbene complex intermediate, followed by intramolecular hydrogen transfer to the iminium carbon. This method is useful for the synthesis of 4-pentynylamine derivatives from enamides and easily available propargyl ether. Moreover, tandem cyclization reaction was achieved to afford a pyrrolidine derivative in a single operation by using a secondary enamide.
