- Anion exchange: A novel way of preparing hierarchical porous structure in poly(ionic liquid)s
-
Hierarchical porous poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) with high specific surface area were firstly synthesized via anion exchange. The exchange of bulky salicylate and its dimers/clusters in PILs by other smaller anions increased the specific surface area and fabricated a hierarchical porous structure. The high specific surface area and hierarchical porous structure prompted a high degree of exposure of the active sites and made the heterogeneous PIL catalysts contact with substrates sufficiently, enhancing their catalytic activity.

- Changes in Regioselectivity of H Atom Abstraction during the Hydroxylation and Cyclization Reactions Catalyzed by Hyoscyamine 6β-Hydroxylase
-
Hyoscyamine 6β-hydroxylase (H6H) is an αKG-dependent nonheme iron oxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of hyoscyamine to scopolamine via two separate reactions: hydroxylation followed by oxidative cyclization. Both of these reactions are expected to involve H atom abstraction from each of two adjacent carbon centers (C6 vs C7) in the substrate. During hydroxylation, there is a roughly 85:1 preference for H atom abstraction from C6 versus C7; however, this inverts to a 1:16 preference during cyclization. Furthermore, 18O incorporation experiments in the presence of deuterated substrate are consistent with the catalytic iron(IV)-oxo complex being able to support the coordination of an additional ligand during hydroxylation. These observations suggest that subtle differences in the substrate binding configuration can have significant consequences for the catalytic cycle of H6H.

- Solventless selective phosgene-free N-carbonylation of N-heteroaromatics (pyrrole, indole, carbazole) under mild conditions
-
N-Heteroaromatics HetNH, such as pyrrole (1), indole (2) and carbazole (3), have been selectively N-carbonylated by a direct reaction with diphenyl carbonate (DPC), used as an environmental friendly carbonyl active species in place of toxic and hazardous phosgene. The carbonylation reaction can be effectively catalyzed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), which can act as a base catalyst by activating the HetNH substrate, and as a nucleophile catalyst by activating the organic carbonate. The influence of reaction parameters (temperature, reaction time, DBU load, DPC/HetNH molar ratio) on the productivity of the process has been also investigated. The synthetic methodology does not require severe temperature conditions, is solventless, simple (only one step), efficient and selective, and offers a new solution to the synthesis of synthetically versatile HetNCO2Ph derivatives through a route alternative to the current traditional phosgenation methods.

- Green N-methylation of electron deficient pyrroles with dimethylcarbonate
-
The N-methylation of electron-deficient pyrroles was affected using dimethyl carbonate in the presence of DMF and catalytic DABCO. This alkylation methodology has proven useful for the alkylation of a variety of pyrroles in 72-98% yields and is considered to be green chemistry relative to the more common use of methyl halides or dimethyl sulfate.

- Superbase-promoted direct N-carbonylation of pyrrole with carbonic acid diesters
-
Carbonic acid diesters have been investigated as carbonylating agents in the direct reaction with pyrrole (HetNH). In the presence of superbases (DBU, P1-t-Bu, BTPP) as catalysts, the heteroaromatic substrate can be N-carbonylated by direct reaction with carbonic acid diesters under not-severe experimental conditions. The carbonylation reaction makes accessible pyrrole N-carbonyl derivatives (HetNC(O)OR, (HetN)2CO) selectively through a simple straightforward way, which offers a safe eco-friendly alternative to the traditional synthetic methods based on hazardous phosgene or phosgene-derivatives.

- N-methylation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles with dimethyl carbonate
-
Reactivity of dimethyl carbonate, the environmentally friendly reagent, as methylating agent for nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds has been studied. Reactions of imidazole, pyrazole, pyrrole, morpholine, and piperazine with dimethyl carbonate to afford N-methylated products were reported. The reactions were carried out with neither catalyst nor solvent at a temperature range of 110-170°C under atmospheric pressure. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.

- BASE-CATALYZED HYDROLYSIS OF CARBAMATES. REMARKABLE REACTIVITY OF SEVERAL AZOLE DERIVATIVES
-
The presence of an azole group (pyrrole, indole, carbazole) in carbamate derivatives determines a remarkable increase in reactivity in basic hydrolysis; these compounds undergo hydrolysis up to 35,000 times faster than the corresponding methylamino derivatives.Mechanism and rationale for such behaviour are discussed.

- The Protecting-Directing Role of the Trityl Group in Syntheses of Pyrrole Derivatives: Efficient Preparations of 1-H-Pyrrole-3-carboxylic Acid and 3-Acyl, 3-Amino, and 3-Bromo-1-tritylpyrroles
-
Trifluoroacetylation, formylation, and bromination of 1-tritylpyrrile occur regioselectively at the 3-position in high yields.Quantitative hydrolysis of the 3-trifluoroacetyl derivative and removal of the trityl group from the resulting acid with sodium in liquid ammonia furnishes a new, short, high-yielding synthessis of the simple 1-H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid. 1-Tritylpyrrole-3-carboxylic acid has been converted efficiently into 3-aminopyrroles via Curtius rearrangement of the derived azide: 3-amino-1-tritylpyrrole appears to exist in solution exclusively as its imino-Δ4-pyrroline tautomer. 1-H-3-t-Butyloxycarbonylaminopyrrole udergoes trifluoroacetylation regioselectively at the 2-position.Metallation of 1-tritylpyrrole with butyl-lithium in hexamethylphosphoric triamide gives rise to the unexpected products 9-phenylfluorene, 1-methoxycarbonylpyrrole and methyl triphenylmethylacetate (after work-up of the lithio-intermediates with carbon dioxide and methylation of the resulting acids).

- Lithiations of 1-Trialkylsilylpyrroles: N to C Silyl Group Rearrangement
-
The sites of metallation with alkyl-lithium reagents of 1-trimethylsilyl- and 1-triethylsilyl-pyrroles have been explored under a variety of conditions.With short reaction times, BunLi reacts with 1-trimethylsilylpyrrole in hexane predominantly at the 2-position though with ButLi in pentane the unusual 3-metallated product is preferred.During prolonged reaction of 1-trimethylsilyl- and 1-triethylsilyl-pyrroles with ButLi, the 2-monolithio- and the 2,4- and 2,5-dilithio-intermediates are formed, in which, unexpectedly, the silyl groups migrate to the pyrrole 2-position.Under conditions favouring enhanced ionicity, BunLi cleaves the N-SiMe3 bond in preference to ring metallation.

A variety of enecarbamates and enamides were synthesized from α-methoxy carbamates and α-methoxy amides prepared by anodic methoxylation of amine derivatives.Some new carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions and hydroxylation at the β position of amines have been accomplished by using these enecarbamates and enamides as key intermediates.Also, new synthetic routes of nicotinaldehyde and pyrrole derivatives have been exploited by utilizing anodic dimethoxylation of carbamates of piperidine and pyrrolidine, respectively.
