- Polysubstituted Indole Synthesis via Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis of Oxime Esters
-
Polysubstituted indoles are prevalent in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Presented herein is the fact that polyfunctionalized indoles can be efficiently constructed from easily accessible oxime esters and aryl iodides, involving a palladium/norbornene synergistic synthesis. The reaction is enabled by a unique class of electrophiles in palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis, which are oxime esters derived from simple ketone. The broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance could make this method attractive for the synthesis of polysubstituted indoles.

- Selective Dehydrogenative Acylation of Enamides with Aldehydes Leading to Valuable β-Ketoenamides
-
We have presented a unique example of dehydrogenative acylation of enamides with aldehydes enabled by an earth-abundant iron catalyst. The protocol provides the straightforward access to valuable β-ketoenamides with ample substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. Notably, distinct C-H acylation of enamide rather than at N-H moiety site occurs with absolute Z-selectivity was observed. Late-stage modifications of complex molecules and versatile synthetic utility of β-ketoenamides further highlight the practicability of this transformation.

- Access to pyrrolo[2,1-: A] isoindolediones from oxime acetates and ninhydrin via Cu(i)-mediated domino annulations
-
A copper-mediated domino condensation reaction of readily accessible oxime acetates with ninhydrin is reported to afford pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindolediones via new C-C & C-N bond formations. A wide range of oxime acetates were shown to generally participate in the reaction to produce the condensed products in excellent yields. The necessary control experiments were performed and the mechanism is proposed to involve sequentially the formation of iminium radical via Cu-mediated N-O bond cleavage of oxime acetates, addition of the radical to ninhydrin and rearrangement via ring expansion.

- Copper-Catalyzed Annulation of Oxime Acetates with α-Amino Acid Ester Derivatives: Synthesis of 3-Sulfonamido/Imino 4-Pyrrolin-2-ones
-
A copper-catalyzed annulation of oxime acetates and α-amino acid ester derivatives for the easy preparation of 4-pyrrolin-2-ones bearing a 3-amino group has been developed. This process features the oxidation of amines with oxime esters as the internal oxidant to produce the active 1,3-dinucleophilic and 1,2-dielectrophilic species concurrently. The subsequent nucleophilic cyclization realizes the efficient construction of 4-pyrrolin-2-one derivatives.

- Copper-catalyzed synthesis of thiazol-2-yl ethers from oxime acetates and xanthates under redox-neutral conditions
-
A novel copper-catalyzed annulation of oxime acetates and xanthates for the synthesis of thiazol-2-yl ethers with remarkable regioselectivity has been developed. Various oxime acetates, whether derived from aryl ketones or alkyl ketones, or natural product cores are suitable for this conversion. Unique dihydrothiazoles were also obtained when both reaction sites were methine. Mechanistic studies indicated that imino copper(iii) intermediates were involved. In addition, this protocol proceeded under redox-neutral conditions and did not require additives or ligands.

- High add valued application of turpentine in crop production through structural modification and qsar analysis
-
Turpentine is a volatile component of resin, which is an abundant forest resource in Southern China. As one of the most important components, the integrated application of-pinene has been studied. The broad-spectrum evaluation of -pinene and its analogues has, therefore, been necessary. In an attempt to expand the scope of agro-activity trials, the preparation and the evaluation of the herbicidal activity of a series of -pinene analogues against three agricultural herbs were carried out. In accordance with the overall herbicidal activity, it is noteworthy that compounds 6k, 6l, and 6m demonstrated extreme activity with IC50 values of 0.065, 0.065, and 0.052 mol active ingredients/hectare against E. crus-galli. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) was analyzed and the compounds with the appropriate volatility and substituent type that had beneficial herbicidal activity were analyzed. Simultaneously, the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was built and the most important structural features were indicated, which was, to a certain extent, in line with the SAR study. The study aimed to study the application of the forest resource turpentine in agriculture as a potential and alternative approach for comprehensive utilization.

- Cu-Catalyzed Coupling of O-Acyl Oximes with Isatins: Domino Rearrangement Strategy for Direct Access to Quinoline-4-Carboxamides by C–N Bond Cleavage
-
A mild domino rearrangement strategy for the direct access to substituted quinoline-4-carboxamides has been developed. This copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of O-acyl oximes with isatins in the presence of molecular oxygen as the sole oxidizing agent proceeds through a ring expansion of the isatins through cleavage of the two C–N bonds.

- Catalytic Enantio- and Diastereoselective Mannich Addition of TosMIC to Ketimines
-
Chiral amines bearing a stereocenter in the α position are ubiquitous compounds with many applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors, as well as in catalysis. Catalytic asymmetric Mannich additions represent a valuable method to access such compounds in enantioenriched form. This work reports the first enantio- and diastereoselective addition of commercially available p-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) to ketimines, affording 2-imidazolines bearing two contiguous stereocenters, one of which is fully-substituted, with high yields and excellent stereocontrol. The reaction, catalyzed by silver oxide and a dihydroquinine-derived N,P-ligand, is broad in scope, operationally simple, and scalable. Derivatization of the products provides enantioenriched vicinal diamines, precursors to NHC ligands and sp3-rich heterocyclic scaffolds. Computations are used to understand catalysis and rationalize stereoselectivity.

- Enantioselective Hydrosilylation of Imines Catalyzed by Chiral Zinc Acetate Complexes
-
A series of zinc acetate complexes with optically pure diphenylethanediamine (DPEDA)-derived ligands have been employed as enantioselective catalyst for the hydrosilylation of various imines. High control of stereoselectivity (up to 97% ee) and excellent yields (up to 96%) were gained for a broad range of N-phosphinoylimines by using (R,R)-N,N′-dibenzyl-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine. This is the first successful application of an air-stable and environmentally friendly chiral Zn(OAc)2 complex instead of the previously used harmful diethylzinc in the asymmetric reduction of the C=N double bond.

- A value-added use of volatile turpentine: antifungal activity and QSAR study of β-pinene derivatives against three agricultural fungi
-
In consideration of turpentine and its analogues possessing some agricultural biological activity, persistent efforts to take advantage of renewable, abundant natural resources have been made. Three series of derivatives from β-pinene were synthesized and their fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, and Botrytis cinerea were investigated. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to significant fungicidal activity. Among them, the acylthiourea derivatives from β-pinene showed more promising results than the other compounds. It was worth noting that compounds 7b and 7d displayed excellent fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani, with IC50 values of 2.439 and 1.857 μg mL-1, which was close to or even better than the control triadimenol (1.945 μg mL-1, a commercial fungicide). The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis indicated that the compounds with more net positive charge possessed better fungicidal activity. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model (R2 = 0.9879, F = 348.41, S2 = 0.0047) was obtained through the best multi-linear regression. The built model revealed a strong correlation of fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani with the molecular features of the title compounds. Additionally, the SAR and QSAR studies showed that the introduction of an electron-withdrawing group, which can increase the positive charge, was favorable towards the fungicidal activity. These encouraging results may provide an alternative, promising use of β-pinene through the design and exploration of eco-friendly fungicides with low toxicity and high efficiency.

- Bifunctional iminophosphorane organocatalysts for enantioselective synthesis: Application to the ketimine nitro-Mannich reaction
-
The design, synthesis, and development of a new class of modular, strongly basic, and tunable bifunctional Bronsted base/H-bond-donor organocatalysts are reported. These catalysts incorporate a triaryliminophosphorane as the Bronsted basic moiety and are readily synthesized via a last step Staudinger reaction of a chiral organoazide and a triarylphosphine. Their application to the first general enantioselective organocatalytic nitro-Mannich reaction of nitromethane to unactivated ketone-derived imines allows the enantioselective construction of β-nitroamines possessing a fully substituted carbon atom. The reaction is amenable to multigram scale-up, and the products are useful for the synthesis of enantiopure 1,2-diamine and α-amino acid derivatives.

- Base and solvent mediated decomposition of tosylhydrazones: Highly selective synthesis of N-alkyl substituted hydrazones, dialkylidenehydrazines, and oximes

Base and solvent mediated decomposition of tosylhydrazones was studied. It was found that reaction of tosylhydrazones in CH3NO2 in the presence of 1 equiv of K2CO3 in 90 °C gave N-alkylated products in 52-96% yield. However, when the same reaction was carried out in mixed solvent of CH3NO2 and dioxane in the presence of 3 equiv of NaOH at 110 °C, dialkylidenehydrazines were obtained in moderate to high yield. If the reaction was carried out in mixed solvent of CH3NO2 and DMSO in the presence of 10 equiv of NaOH at 110 °C, CH3NO2 can act as the precursor of hydroxylamine and corresponding oximes were formed in up to 92% yield.

- Facile and efficient enantioselective strecker reaction of ketimines by chiral sodium phosphate
-
A facile and efficient enantioselective Strecker reaction of ketimines catalyzed by a chiral alkali-metal salt has been developed. When 10 mol% BNPNa (BNP=1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diylphosphate) prepared in situ and 10 mol% para-tert-butylortho-adamantylphenol (PBAP) were introduced into the reaction, up to 96% yield and up to 95% ee (ee=enantiomeric excess) were obtained. Both aliphatic and aromatic ketimines, especially sterically bulky cyclic ketimines derived from β-acetonaphthone, α-indanone, and α-tetralone were found suitable for this reaction. On the basis of the experimental results and previous reports, trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) was indicated to be the real reactive nucleophile despite the existence of PBAP, and a possible working model was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction. The facile availability of 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diylphosphoric acid (BNPH) and the simplicity of the procedure are beneficial for practical applications.
