- Non-Chelate-Assisted Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Heck Reaction of Fluorobenzenes and Other Arenes: When Does the C?H Activation Need Help?
-
The pyridone fragment in the ligand [2, 2’-bipyridin]-6(1H)-one (bipy-6-OH) enables the oxidative Heck reaction of simple arenes with oxygen as the sole oxidant and no redox mediator. Arenes with either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups can be functionalized in this way. Experimental data on the reaction with toluene as the model arene shows that the C?H activation step is turnover limiting and that the ligand structure is crucial to facilitate the reaction, which supports the involvement of the pyridone fragment in the C?H activation step. In the case of fluoroarenes, the alkenylation of mono and 1,2-difluoro benzenes requires the presence of bipy-6-OH. In contrast, this ligand is detrimental for the alkenylation of 1,3-difluoro, tri, tetra and pentafluoro benzenes which can be carried out using just [Pd(OAc)2]. This correlates with the acidity of the fluoroarenes, the most acidic undergoing easier C?H activation so other steps of the reaction such as the coordination-insertion of the olefin become kinetically important for polyfluorinated arenes. The use of just a catalytic amount of sodium molybdate as a base proved to be optimal in all these reactions. (Figure presented.).

- Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Amino Acid Derivatives Enabled by Ligand-Controlled Reversal of Hydrocupration Regiochemistry
-
A Cu-catalyzed enantioselective hydroamination of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives was achieved through ligand-controlled reversal of the hydrocupration regioselectivity. While the hydrocupration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to form α-cuprated species has been extensively investigated, we report herein that, in the presence of an appropriate ancillary chiral ligand, the opposite regiochemistry can be observed for cinnamic acid derivatives, leading to the delivery of the copper to the β-position. This copper can react with an electrophilic aminating reagent, 1,2-benzisoxazole, to provide enantioenriched β-amino acid derivatives, which are important building blocks for the synthesis of natural products and bioactive small molecules.

- Mizoroki–Heck Cross-Coupling of Acrylate Derivatives with Aryl Halides Catalyzed by Palladate Pre-Catalysts
-
The Mizoroki–Heck (MH) reaction involving aryl halides with various acrylates and acrylamides has been studied using air and moisture-stable imidazolium-based palladate pre-catalysts. These pre-catalysts can be converted into Pd-NHC species (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) under catalytic conditions and are capable of facilitating the Mizoroki–Heck reaction of aryl halides with various acrylates. The effects of solvent, catalyst loading, temperature and bases on the reaction outcome have been investigated. Various coupling partners were tolerated under the optimal reaction conditions catalyzed by palladate 1, [SIPr·H][Pd(η3-2-Me-allyl)Cl2]. The efficiency of the optimized synthetic methodology was tested on various aryl halides and substituted acrylates as well as acrylamides. The MH reaction yielded the coupled products in good to excellent isolated yields (up to 98%).

- Solid supported palladium(0) nano/microparticle: A ligand-free efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for mono- and β,β-double-Heck reaction
-
Solid supported palladium nano/microparticles were found to be active catalysts to perform mono- and β,β-double-Heck reactions. Different β-unsubstituted and substituted alkenes including acrylate, methacrylate, crotonate, styrene, acrylonitrile, and acrylamide were investigated successfully for mono- and β,β-double-Heck reactions with aryl iodide under milder reaction condition. One-pot β,β-double-Heck reaction of aryl iodides with α,β-unsaturated ester, amide, nitrile, and styrene derivatives were also performed under standard reaction conditions. Wide functional group tolerance, easy catalyst recovery, and recyclability up to twelve times without significant loss of catalytic activity added extra importance to the present process.

- Anomalous Z-isomer content in Wittig reaction products from keto-stabilised ylides with ortho-heteroatom substituted benzaldehydes
-
Wittig reaction products of keto-stabilised ylides with ortho-substituted benzaldehydes are found to show significantly higher than expected Z-alkene content (up to 50%) compared to analogous reactions of the same ylides with benzaldehyde itself. A cooperative effect is seen whereby the unusual Z-content is further augmented if the ylide bears greater steric bulk in the α′-position. These results are consistent with our previous observations on reactions of all ylide types with aldehydes bearing a β-heteroatom. Significantly, the cooperative effect, previously seen only with semi-stabilised ylides, has now been extended to stabilised ylides. Both the anomalous increase in Z-content and the cooperative effect can be rationalised within the [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism of the Wittig reaction.

- Unequivocal experimental evidence for a unified lithium salt-free wittig reaction mechanism for all phosphonium ylide types: Reactions with β-heteroatom-substituted aldehydes are consistently selective for cis-oxaphosphetane-derived products
-
The true course of the lithium salt-free Wittig reaction has long been a contentious issue in organic chemistry. Herein we report an experimental effect that is common to the Wittig reactions of all of the three major phosphonium ylide classes (non-stabilized, semi-stabilized, and stabilized): there is consistently increased selectivity for cis-oxaphosphetane and its derived products (Z-alkene and erythro-β-hydroxyphosphonium salt) in reactions involving aldehydes bearing heteroatom substituents in the β-position. The effect operates with both benzaldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes and is shown not to operate in the absence of the heteroatom substituent on the aldehyde. The discovery of an effect that is common to reactions of all ylide types strongly argues for the operation of a common mechanism in all Li salt-free Wittig reactions. In addition, the results are shown to be most easily explained by the [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism proposed by Vedejs and co-workers as supplemented by Aggarwal, Harvey, and co-workers, thus providing strong confirmatory evidence in support of that mechanism. Notably, a cooperative effect of ortho-substituents in the case of semi-stabilized ylides is confirmed and is accommodated by the cycloaddition mechanism. The effect is also shown to operate in reactions of triphenylphosphine-derived ylides and has previously been observed for reactions under aqueous conditions, thus for the first time providing evidence that kinetic control is in operation in both of these cases.

- 1,2,3-Triazol-5-ylidene-palladium complex catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions
-
The bis-1,4-dimesityl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene-palladium complex (1a) successfully catalyzes the Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions with aryl bromides to give the corresponding alkenes and alkynes, respectively, in good to excellent yields. In the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, electron-rich, electron-poor, and functionalized aryl bromides and alkenes are tolerated, while the substrates are limited to electron-poor aryl halides in the Sonogashira coupling reaction. The palladium complex also catalyzes cross-coupling reactions with aryl chlorides to give higher yields of products than does the bis-IMes-Pd complex analogue (2), under specific conditions.

- P[N(i-Bu)CH2CH2]3N: Nonionic Lewis base for promoting the room-temperature synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters, fluorides, ketones, and nitriles using Wadsworth - Emmons phosphonates
-
The bicyclic triaminophosphine P(RNCH2CH2) 3N (R = i-Bu, 1c) serves as an effective promoter for the room-temperature stereoselective synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters, fluorides, and nitriles from a wide array of aromatic, aliphatic, heterocyclic, and cyclic aldehydes and ketones, using a range of Wadsworth-Emmons (WE) phosphonates. Among the analogues of 1c [R = Me (1a), i-Pr (1b), Bn (1d)], 1a and 1b performed well, although longer reaction times were involved, and 1d led to poorer yields than 1c. Functionalities such as cyano, chloro, bromo, methoxy, amino, ester, and nitro were well tolerated. We were able to isolate and characterize (by X-ray means; see above) the reactive WE intermediate species formed from 2b and 1c.

- N-heterocycle carbene (NHC)-ligated cyclopalladated N,N- dimethylbenzylamine: A highly active, practical and versatile catalyst for the Heck-Mizoroki reaction
-
The wide dissemination of catalytic protocols in academic and industrial laboratories is facilitated by the development of catalysts that are not only highly active but also user-friendly, stable to moisture, air and long term storage and easy to prepare on a large scale. Herein we describe a protocol for the Heck-Mizoroki reaction mediated by cyclopalladN-dimethylbenzylamine (dmba) ligated ne, 1,3-bdot;HCl in refluxing acetonitrile in air in the presence of K2CO in iates the H bromides in reagent grade NMP at the 0.1-2 mol% range without the need for rigorous anhydrous techniques or a glovebox, and is active even in air. The catalyst is capable of achieving very high levels of catalytic activity (TON of up to 5.22 × 105) for the coupling of a deactivated arylbromide, p-bromoanisole, with tBu acrylate as a benchmark substrate pair. A wide range of aryl bromides, iodides and, for the first time with a NHC-Pd catalyst, a triflate was coupled with diverse acrylate derivatives (nitrile, tert-butyl ester and amides) and styrene derivatives. The use of excess (>2 equiv.) of the aryl bromide and tert-butyl acrylate leads to mixture of tert-butyl β,β-diarylacrylate and tert-butyl cinnamate derivatives depending on the substitution pattern of the aryl bromide. Electron rich m- and p-substituted arylbromides give the diarylated products exclusively, whereas electron-poor aryl bromides give predominantly mono-arylated products. For o-substituted aryl bromides, no doubly arylated products could be obtained under any conditions. Overall, the active catalyst (IMes-Pd) shows higher activity with electron-rich aryl halides, a marked difference compared with the more commonly used phosphane-Pd or non-ligated Pd catalysts.

- Cinnamoyl inhibitors of tissue transglutaminase
-
(Figure Presented) Transglutaminases (TGases) catalyze the intermolecular cross-linking of certain proteins and tissue TGases (TG2) are involved in diverse biological processes. Unregulated, high TGase activities have been implicated in several physiological disorders, but few reversible inhibitors of TG2 have been reported. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of novel trans-cinammoyl derivatives, discovered to be potent inhibitors of guinea pig liver transglutaminase. The most effective inhibitors evaluated can be sorted into two subclasses: substituted cinnamoyl benzotriazolyl amides and the 3-(substituted cinnamoyl)pyridines, referred to more commonly as azachalcones. Kinetic evaluation of both of these subclasses revealed that they display reversible inhibition and are competitive with acyl donor TGase substrates at IC50 values as low as 18 μM. An analysis of structure - activity relationships within these series of inhibitors permitted the identification of potentially important binding interactions. Further testing of some of the most potent inhibitors demonstrated their selectivity for TG2 and their potential for further development.

The parallel asymmetric synthesis of an array of 30 β-amino acids of high enantiomeric purity using the conjugate addition of homochiral lithium N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide as the key step is accomplished. The experimental simplicity and highly practical nature of the protocol is demonstrated by the efficient parallel conversion of 15 α,β-unsaturated esters to both enantiomeric series of the corresponding β-amino acids in high overall yields and selectivities with minimal purification involved in each step of the reaction protocol.

- Rhodium-catalyzed heck-type coupling of boronic acids with activated alkenes in an aqueous emulsion
-
Intermolecular couplings between arylboronic acids and activated alkenes catalyzed by a water-soluble tert-bulyl amphosrhodium complex were found to progress at room temperature and generated Heck-type products with high yields and excellent selectivity. Substitution on the alkene component encouraged the formation of products arising from a conjugate addition-protonation process. In the case of Heck product formation, it was necessary to add two equivalents of the alkene component whereby one equivalent is believed to act as a sacrificial hydride acceptor.

Quantitative 13C NMR proves to be an efficient tool for the characterization of oligoglycols. The corresponding telluride of oligoglycol 17 is synthesized and used as a good catalyst for Wittig-type reactions in preparing both disubstituted and trisubstituted olefins in good to high yields.

(Matrix presented) Reported herein is a mild and efficient Pd(ll) catalysis, leading to the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between a broad spectrum of organoboron compounds and alkenes. Molecular oxygen was employed to reoxidize the resultant Pd(0) species back to Pd(ll) during catalytic cycles. This oxygen protocol promoted the desired Pd(ll) catalysis, whereas it retarded competing Pd(0) catalytic pathways such as Heck or Suzuki couplings.
