Disclosed herein are secondary amine compounds that inhibit tRNA synthetase. The compounds of the invention are useful in inhibiting tRNA synthetase in Gram-negative bacteria and are useful in killing Gram-negative bacteria. The secondary amine compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment of tuberculosis.

The present invention discloses a phosphine nitrogen ligand with multiple chiral centers and its synthesis method and application. The ligand has the axial chirality of a biaryl skeleton and the central chirality of a chiral amine. The chiral ligand is synthesized from commercially available raw materials through a simple five-step reaction, and the resulting diastereomer can be separated by simple column chromatography or recrystallization. The chiral phosphine nitrogen ligand synthesized by the present invention can catalyze the asymmetric three-component coupling reaction of terminal alkynes, aldehydes and amines, and realize the efficient preparation of chiral propargyl amines with high optical activity.

A process for preparing amides by reacting a primary amine and a primary alcohol in the presence of a Ruthenium complex to generate the amide and molecular hydrogen. Primary amines are directly acylated by equimolar amounts of alcohols to produce amides and molecular hydrogen (the only byproduct) in high yields and high turnover numbers. Also disclosed are processes for hydrogenation of amides to alcohols and amines; hydrogenation of organic carbonates to alcohols; hydrogenation of carbamates or urea derivatives to alcohols and amines; amidation of esters; acylation of alcohols using esters; coupling of alcohols with water and a base to form carboxylic acids; dehydrogenation of beta-amino alcohols to form pyrazines and cyclic dipeptides; and dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols to ketones. These reactions are catalyzed by a Ruthenium complex which is based on a dearomatized PNN-type ligand of formula A1 or precursors thereof of formulae A2 or A3.
