- Assembly of α-(Hetero)aryl Nitriles via Copper-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions with (Hetero)aryl Chlorides and Bromides
-
α-(Hetero)aryl nitriles are important structural motifs for pharmaceutical design. The known methods for direct synthesis of these compounds via coupling with (hetero)aryl halides suffer from narrow reaction scope. Herein, we report that the combination of copper salts and oxalic diamides enables the coupling of a variety of (hetero)aryl halides (Cl, Br) and ethyl cyanoacetate under mild conditions, affording α-(hetero)arylacetonitriles via one-pot decarboxylation. Additionally, the CuBr/oxalic diamide catalyzed coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides with α-alkyl-substituted ethyl cyanoacetates proceeds smoothly at 60 °C, leading to the formation of α-alkyl (hetero)arylacetonitriles after decarboxylation. The method features a general substrate scope and is compatible with various functionalities and heteroaryls.

- One-pot method for the synthesis of 1-aryl-2-aminoalkanol derivatives from the corresponding amides or nitriles
-
We have identified a novel one-pot method for the synthesis of β-amino alcohols, which is based on C-H bond hydroxylation at the benzylic α-carbon atom with a subsequent nitrile or amide functional group reduction. This cascade process uses molecular oxygen as an oxidant and sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride as a reductant. The substrate scope was examined on 30 entries and, although the respective products were provided in moderate yields only, the above simple protocol may serve as a direct and powerful entry to the sterically congested 1,2-amino alcohols that are difficult to prepare by other routes. The plausible mechanistic rationale for the observed results is given and the reaction was applied to a synthesis of a potentially bioactive target. This journal is

- Selective α-Monomethylation by an Amine-Borane/N,N-Dimethylformamide System as the Methyl Source
-
A new and practical α-monomethylation strategy using an amine-borane/N,N-dimethylformamide (R3N-BH3/DMF) system as the methyl source was developed. This protocol has been found to be effective in the α-monomethylation of arylacetonitriles and arylacetamides. Mechanistic studies revealed that the formyl group of DMF delivered the carbon and one hydrogen atoms of the methyl group, and R3N-BH3 donated the remaining two hydrogen atoms. Such a unique reaction pathway enabled controllable assemblies of CDH2-, CD2H-, and CD3- units using Me2NH-BH3/d7-DMF, Me3N-BD3/DMF and Me3N-BD3/d7-DMF systems, respectively. Further application of this method to the facile synthesis of anti-inflammatory flurbiprofen and its varied deuterium-labeled derivatives was demonstrated.

- Method for synthesizing arylpropionic acid-like nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent
-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing an arylpropionic acid-like nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent. The method comprises that an aryl acetonitrile compound as a substrate, an amine borane complex and N, N-dimethylformamide as a solvent undergo a methylation reaction under basic conditions to produce an aryl propionitrile compound, and the aryl propionitrile compound is hydrolyzed under strong basic conditions to form the arylpropionic acid-like nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent. The method creatively uses the amine borane complex and N, N-dimethylformamide as methylation reagents so that bis-methylation and large toxicity caused by the traditional methylation reagents such as methyl iodide and dimethyl sulfate are avoided. The method is simple and is easy to operate. The arylpropionic acid-like nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent has a high yield and high purity. Compared with the existing method using a metal catalyst system, the method utilizes anon-metallic system so that the use of transition metals is avoided. The method provides a novel approach for preventing metal residues in synthetic drugs.

2-(2-Fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid is prepared from 2-amino-4-methyl-biphenyl via a series of novel intermediates. In particular 2-amino-4-methylbiphenyl is converted to 2-fluoro-4-methylbiphenyl, the methyl group is brominated to form 2-fluoro-4-monobromomethylbiphenyl which is transformed into 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)acetonitrile. This acetonitrile is then converted to fluorbiprofen via the corresponding propionitrile or it may be converted into fluorbiprofen via the intermediate ethyl-2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)-2-cyanopropionate.
