- Highly efficient synthesis of primary amides: Via aldoximes rearrangement in water under air atmosphere catalyzed by an ionic ruthenium pincer complex
-
The transformation of aldoximes to primary amides has been evaluated using pincer ruthenium complexes a-c, among which the ionic Ru catalyst a proved to be the most efficient in water under air atmosphere. A variety of (hetero)arene aldoximes proceeded smoothly to afford amides in high yields with good functional group compatibilities. Furthermore, a direct synthetic route of amides from aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium carbonate was also described with broad substrates including conjugated and aliphatic aldehydes. This protocol is operationally simple and proceeds with a low catalyst loading (0.5 mol%).

- Direct substitution of primary allylic amines with sulfinate salts
-
The NH2 group in primary allylic amines was substituted directly by sulfinate salts with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. In the presence of 0.1 mol % [Pd(allyl)Cl]2, 0.4 mol % 1,4- bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), and excess boric acid, a range of α-unbranched primary allylic amines were smoothly substituted with sodium sulfinates in an α-selective fashion to give structurally diverse allylic sulfones in good to excellent yields with exclusive E selectivity. Replacing dppb with 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) allowed unsymmetric α-chiral primary allylic amines to be transformed into the corresponding allylic sulfones in good to excellent yields with excellent retention of ee. Importantly, the reaction complements known asymmetric methods in substrate scope via its unique ability to provide α-chiral allylic sulfones with high optical purity starting from unsymmetric allylic electrophiles.
