- Iridium-catalyzed, ligand-controlled directed alkynylation and alkenylation of arenes with terminal alkynes
-
We report iridium-catalyzed C-C formation between benzamides and terminal alkynes. With the choice of a suitable ligand, a C-H alkynylation or alkenylation product could be obtained selectively. The directed C-H alkynylation proceeded without the need for an external oxidant, while the directed C-H alkenylation likely involves an unusual vinylidene mechanism. This divergent reactivity provides access to both alkynylation and alkenylation products from the same set of starting materials.

- Dealkoxylation ofN-alkoxyamides without an external reductant driven by Pd/Al cooperative catalysis
-
Lewis acid-assisted palladium-catalysed dealkoxylation ofN-alkoxyamides has been developed. This reaction proceeded smoothly with a range ofN-alkoxyamides in the absence of an external reductant, thereby establishing a convenient and reductant-free protocol. In addition, a gram-scale reaction could be achieved. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicated that β-hydrogen elimination from a palladium alkoxide intermediate generated an intramolecular hydride source.

- Chemoselective Synthesis of Aryl Ketones from Amides and Grignard Reagents via C(O)-N Bond Cleavage under Catalyst-Free Conditions
-
Conversion of a wide range of N-Boc amides to aryl ketones was achieved with Grignard reagents via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage. The reactions proceeded under catalyst-free conditions with different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide diaryl propiophenones. N-Boc amides displayed higher reactivity than Weinreb amides with Grignard reagents. A broad substrate scope, excellent yields, and quick conversion are important features of this methodology.

- Tandem Transformation of Aldoximes to N-Methylated Amides Using Methanol
-
Tandem conversion of aldoximes to N-methylated amides with methanol in presence of a single Ru(II) catalyst is accomplished through the Ru(II)-mediated rearrangement followed by the reductive N-methylation. Employing this protocol, several aldoximes were directly transformed to the N-methylated amides using methanol. Kinetic experiments with H218O advocated that the aldoxime is acted as the nucleophile during the aldoxime to amide rearrangement process. Involvement of nitrile intermediate during this transformation is realized from the kinetic study. (Figure presented.).

-
An efficient synthesis of N-methylated amides using methanol in the presence of a ruthenium(II) catalyst is realized. Notably, applying this process, tandem C-methylation and N-methylation were achieved to synthesize α-methyl N-methylated amides. In addition, several kinetic studies and control experiments with the plausible intermediates were performed to understand this novel protocol. Furthermore, detailed computational studies were carried out to understand the mechanism of this transformation.

- Hydrogen Bond Directed ortho-Selective C?H Borylation of Secondary Aromatic Amides
-
Reported is an iridium catalyst for ortho-selective C?H borylation of challenging secondary aromatic amide substrates, and the regioselectivity is controlled by hydrogen-bond interactions. The BAIPy-Ir catalyst forms three hydrogen bonds with the substrate during the crucial activation step, and allows ortho-C?H borylation with high selectivity. The catalyst displays unprecedented ortho selectivities for a wide variety of substrates that differ in electronic and steric properties, and the catalyst tolerates various functional groups. The regioselective C?H borylation catalyst is readily accessible and converts substrates on gram scale with high selectivity and conversion.

- Super electron donors derived from diboron
-
Single-electron transfer is an important process in organic chemistry, in which a single-electron reductant (electron donor) acts as a key component. Compared with metal-based electron donors, organic electron donors have some unique advantages, such as tunable reduction ability and mild reaction conditions. The development of novel organic electron donors with good reduction ability together with ease of preparation is in high demand. Based on the pyridine-catalyzed radical borylation reaction developed in our laboratory, we have discovered that, the reaction system consisting of a diboron(4) compound, methoxide and a pyridine derivative could smoothly produce super electron donors in situ. Two boryl-pyridine based species, the major one being a trans-2H,2′H-[2,2′-bipyridine]-1,1′-diide borate complex and the minor one being a pyridine radical anion-borate complex, were observed and carefully characterized. These complexes were found to be organic super electron donors unprecedented in literature, and their formation mechanisms were studied by DFT calculations. The diboron/methoxide/pyridine system enables the preparation of organic super electron donors from easily accessible starting materials under mild conditions, which has the potential to be a general and practical single-electron reducing agent in organic synthesis.

- Sulfoximines from a Medicinal Chemist's Perspective: Physicochemical and in vitro Parameters Relevant for Drug Discovery
-
Sulfoximines, sulfondiimides and sulfonimidamides are fascinating but not yet fully explored variants of the common sulfone or sulfonamide motif. In this study, we report the physicochemical and in vitro properties of sulfoximines and compare them with related analogs and isosteres. Furthermore, we present a matched molecular pair analysis of compounds from drug discovery projects within Boehringer Ingelheim. We demonstrate that the sulfoximine moiety is a chemically stable, comparatively polar and weakly basic functional group, often leading to favorable aqueous solubility, permeability and metabolic stability. Moreover, their additional vectors at nitrogen enable simple chemical modifications and thus facilitate exploration and fine-tuning of the molecular properties. We conclude that sulfoximines and their congeners do not exhibit any intrinsic flaw but significantly enrich the toolbox of medicinal chemists.

A variety of aryl bromides have been treated with Mg and then chloral, followed by tBuOCl and subsequently alcohols or amines to produce the corresponding aromatic esters or amides in good yields via the formation of aryl trichloromethyl ketones as intermediates. These reactions are examples of a transition-metal-free one-pot preparation of aromatic esters and amides from aryl bromides. Aryl bromides have been treated with Mg and then chloral, followed by tBuOCl or tBuOCl with I2 as an additive, and subsequently alcohols or amines to form the corresponding aromatic esters and aromatic amides via aryl trichloromethyl ketones as intermediates.

- Re/Mg bimetallic tandem catalysis for [4+2] annulation of benzamides and alkynes via C-H/N-H functionalization

A rhenium-magnesium cocatalyzed [4+2] annulation of benzamides and alkynes via C-H/N-H functionalization is described. The reaction features a divergent and high level of diastereoselectivities, which are readily switchable by subtle tuning of reaction conditions. Thus, a wide range of both cis- and trans-3,4-dihydroisoquinolinones is expediently synthesized in a highly atom-economical manner. Moreover, mechanistic studies unraveled a tandem mode of action between rhenium and magnesium in the catalytic cycles.

- Quantitative insights into energy contributions of intermolecular interactions in fluorine and trifluoromethyl substituted isomeric N-phenylacetamides and N-methylbenzamides
-
The presence of the C-F bond in organic molecules, particularly in the context of generating different intermolecular interactions of the type C-F...F-C, C-H...F and C-F...π is of extreme significance in the realm of structural chemistry. These interactions generate different packing motifs in the formation of the crystal. It is of interest to evaluate the energetic contributions of such weak interactions to evaluate their important role in crystal packing. In this respect, a library of twelve compounds containing a strong donor and acceptor, along with the presence of a C-F bond in different electronic environments (fluorine atom connected to C(sp2) and C(sp3) carbon atom) have been synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies at low temperature. In addition, the non-fluorinated counterpart has also been synthesized. These crystal structures have been analyzed to understand the contribution of weak interactions involving organic fluorine in the crystal packing. Furthermore, the stabilizing-destabilizing roles of such interactions in terms of favourable energetics have been quantified with inputs from calculations performed using PIXEL. It is observed that most of the interactions involving fluorine are of a dispersive character, and in some cases the interaction is also coulombic in origin. These results have been compared with ab initio quantum-chemical calculations (DFT-D3/B-97D level) performed using TURBOMOLE. In addition, the lattice energies of all the compounds have been evaluated, and the total contribution partitioned into the corresponding coulombic, polarization, dispersion and exchange contributions using the CLP module. The results correlate well with thermochemical data experimentally determined for these compounds.

- Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative cycloaddition of benzamides and alkynes via C-H/N-H activation
-
The oxidative cycloaddition of benzamides and alkynes has been developed. The reaction utilizes Rh(III) catalysts in the presence of Cu(II) oxidants, and is proposed to proceed by N-H metalation of the amide followed by ortho C-H activation. The resultant rhodacycle undergoes alkyne insertion to form isoquinolones in good yield. The reaction is tolerant of extensive substitution on the amide, alkyne, and arene, including halides, silyl ethers, and unprotected aldehydes as substituents. Unsymmetrical alkynes proceed with excellent regioselectivity, and heteroaryl carboxamides are tolerated leading to intriguing scaffolds for medicinal chemistry. A series of competition experiments shed further light on the mechanism of the transformation and reasons for selectivity.
