- One-Pot Reductive 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Secondary Amides: A Two-Step Transformation of Primary Amides
-
The one-pot reductive 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of secondary aromatic N-(trimethylsilylmethyl)amides with reactive dipolarophiles is reported. The method relies on the in situ generation of nonstabilized NH azomethine ylide dipoles via amide activation with triflic anhydride, partial reduction with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS), and desilylation with cesium fluoride (CsF). Running under mild conditions, the reaction tolerated several sensitive functional groups and provided cycloadducts in 71-93% yields. The use of less reactive dipolarophile methyl acrylate led to the cycloadduct in only 40% yield. A (Z) geometric intermediate of NH-azomethine 1,3-dipole was postulated to account for the observed higher yields and higher cis diastereoselectivity for the substrates bearing an electron-withdrawing group. This model features an unconventional cyclic transition state via carbanion-aryl ring interaction. Because the starting secondary amides can be prepared from common primary amides, the current method also constitutes a two-step transformation of primary amides.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Intramolecular C-H Bond Activation with Triazoles: Preparation of Stereodefined Pyrrolidines and Other Related Cyclic Compounds
-
On treatment of triazoles having an N-sulfonyl-protected benzylamine moiety with [Rh2(C7H15CO2)4], intramolecular C-H bond insertion takes place at the benzylic position to give cis-N-sulfonyl-2-aryl-3-[(sulfonylimino)methyl]pyrrolidines in good yields and with highly stereoselectivities. Analogously, the similar treatment of triazoles having an ether or even an alkyl moiety affords 2-alkyl- or 2-aryl-3-[(sulfonylimino)methyl]tetrahydrofurans or a 2-alkyl-3-[(sulfonylimino)methyl]cyclopentane in good yields. Three is a magic number: On treatment of triazoles with [Rh2(C7H15CO2)4], the rhodium catalyst plays three roles, denitrogenation, C-H bond activation, and stereoselective cyclization, providing a new method for heterocycle synthesis. Intramolecular C-H bond insertion takes place at the benzylic position to give pyrrolidines and related heterocycles in good yields.

- Synthesis of β-prolinols via [3+2] cycloaddition and one-pot programmed reduction: Valuable building blocks for polyheterocycles
-
A novel two-step synthesis of multisubstituted β-prolinols has been developed, featuring a [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and a programmed reduction triggered by the combination of borane and lithium aluminum hydride (LAH). β-Prolinols are shown to be valuable building blocks for polyheterocycles.
