    Abstract: This invention provides a convenient method for converting oximes into enamides. The process does not require the use of metallic reagents. Accordingly, it produces the desired compounds without the concomitant production of a large volume of metallic waste. The enamides are useful precursors to amides and amines. The invention provides a process to convert a prochiral enamide into the corresponding chiral amide. In an exemplary process, a chiral amino center is introduced during hydrogenation through the use of a chiral hydrogenation catalyst. In selected embodiments, the invention provides methods of preparing amides and amines that include the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-alkyl-1-naphthalenamine or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenamine substructure.

  • Publication number: 20080306031
    Abstract: This disclosure ascribes new functions to derivatives of tetralin, anthraquinone, naphthylamine, tri-amino-pyrimidine, xanthen-3-one, and/or cinnamic acid (including, for example, NSC270718R, NSC117285R, NSC170008Y, NSC306711P, NSC119913X, NSC119915Z, NSC119911V, NSC119910U, NSC128437O, NSC125908P, NSC9600Q, or NSC13778J, each obtained from the Structure Diversity Set, National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Developmental Therapeutics Program). These compounds are shown to be effective inhibitors of viral essential protein kinases (such as poxvirus B1 and/or F10 protein kinases). Exemplary chemical structures for viral protein kinase (VPK) inhibitors are provided, as are methods of using such compounds, for instance, to inhibit VPK activity and/or poxvirus growth, and/or for the treatment of poxvirus infection. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions including disclosed VPK inhibitors.
