- Synthesis of aminoisoquinolines via Rh-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of benzamidamides with vinylene carbonate
-
A new strategy is developed for the synthesis of 1-aminoisoquinoline derivatives. This Rh(III)-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation reaction employs benzamidines as efficient directing groups and the vinylene carbonate as an acetylene surrogate. Additionally, the reaction features broad substrate scopes and good yields, only producing carbonate anion as byproduct.

- Vanadium-Catalyzed Oxidative C(CO)-C(CO) Bond Cleavage for C-N Bond Formation: One-Pot Domino Transformation of 1,2-Diketones and Amidines into Imides and Amides
-
A novel vanadium-catalyzed one-pot domino reaction of 1,2-diketones with amidines has been identified that enables their transformation into imides and amides. The reaction proceeds by dual acylation of amidines via oxidative C(CO)-C(CO) bond cleavage of 1,2-diketones to afford N,N′-diaroyl-N-arylbenzamidine intermediates. In the reaction, these intermediates are easily hydrolyzed into imides and amides through vanadium catalysis. This method provides a practical, simple, and mild synthetic approach to access a variety of imides as well as amides in high yields. Moreover, one-step construction of imide and amide bonds with a long-chain alkyl group is an attractive feature of this protocol.

- Radical and Nitrenoid Reactivity of 3-Halo-3-phenyldiazirines
-
3-Halo-3-phenyl-3H-diazirines (halogen = Br or Cl) undergo a dissociative single-electron transfer from alkyllithiums (RLi) in THF-based solvent mixtures. The resulting 3-phenyldiazirinyl radical, observed by EPR spectroscopy, is eventually transformed to benzonitrile. In Et2O, 2 equiv of RLi add to both nitrogens of halodiazirine N=N bond, affording N,N′-dialkylbenzamidines. The nitrenoid reactivity of some N-alkyl-1H-diazirine intermediates is manifested by their insertion into the α-C-H bond of THF or Et2O.

- Investigating Scale-Up and Further Applications of DABAL-Me3 Promoted Amide Synthesis
-
Methods for the batch scale up of DABAL-Me3 promoted direct ester to amide synthesis have been demonstrated at 10-100 g scales using a tert-amide model compound. Procedures for 20 g scale couplings in standard laboratory glassware and up to 0.1 kg in industry-standard jacketed glass reactors in near quantitative yields are given. A derivative of the anticancer agent Imatinib (Gleevec) has been synthesized on a 26 g scale (98% yield, >98% purity) establishing DABAL-Me3 as a potential alternative for the synthesis of amides in API scale preparations. Continuous flow methodology provides a method for larger scales (productivities of >50 g h-1). In addition, nitriles were coupled to primary amines and hydrazines with DABAL-Me3, resulting in the clean formation of free amidines (16 examples) and amidrazones.
