Nickel/Photo-Cocatalyzed Asymmetric Acyl-Carbamoylation of Alkenes

An unprecedented asymmetric acyl-carbamoylation of pendant alkenes tethered on aryl carbamic chlorides with both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes has been developed via the cooperative catalysis of a chiral nickel-PHOX complex and tetrabutylammonium decatungstate. This reaction represents the first example of merging hydrogen-atom-transfer photochemistry and asymmetric transition metal catalysis in difunctionalization of alkenes. Using this protocol, a variety of oxindoles bearing a challenging quaternary stereogenic center are furnished under mild conditions in highly enantioselective manner.

One-Pot Synthesis of 4-Quinolone via Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling of Alcohol and Methyl Arene

Herein, we describe the iron(III)-catalyzed oxidative coupling of alcohol/methyl arene with 2-amino phenyl ketone to synthesize 4-quinolone. Alcohols and methyl arenes are oxidized to the aldehyde in the presence of an iron catalyst and di-tert-butyl peroxide, followed by a tandem process, condensation with amine/Mannich-type cyclization/oxidation, to complete the 4-quinolone ring. This method tolerates various kinds of functional groups and provides a direct approach to the synthesis of 4-quinolones from less functionalized substrates.

Selective N-monomethylation of primary anilines with dimethyl carbonate in continuous flow

Selective N-monomethylation of anilines has been achieved under continuous flow conditions using dimethyl carbonate as a green methylating agent in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. Our methodology takes advantage of the expanded process windows available in the continuous flow regime to safely induce monomethylation in superheated solvents at high pressure. We propose selective N-monomethylation is achieved via an in situ protection-deprotection pathway, which is supported by the observed reactivities of several putative reaction intermediates. The robust and scalable method was applicable to a broad range of primary aniline substrates including ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted anilines, as well as electron-rich and electron-deficient anilines. The synthetic precursor of diazepam, 5-chloro-2-(methylamino)benzophenone, was selectively synthesized under our optimized conditions.

A Synthesis of 1H-Indazoles via a Cu(OAc)2-Catalyzed N-N Bond Formation

A facile synthesis of 1H-indazoles featuring a Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed N-N bond formation using oxygen as the terminal oxidant is described. The reaction of readily available 2-aminobenzonitriles with various organometallic reagents led to o-aminoar

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Direct Cyanation of Aromatic C-H Bond to Form 2-(Alkylamino)benzonitriles Using N-Nitroso As Directing Group

2-(Alkylamino)benzonitriles were synthesized via a rhodium-catalyzed cyanation on the aryl C-H bond and subsequent denitrosation of N-nitrosoarylamines using a removable nitroso as the directing group, in which N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) was used as the "CN" source. Various substituents on the aryl ring and amino group of N-nitrosoarylamines tolerated the reaction, and the corresponding products were achieved in moderate to good yields.

Copper(II)-catalyzed oxidative N-nitrosation of secondary and tertiary amines with nitromethane under an oxygen atmosphere

The combination of a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)2 and less than a stoichiometric amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) under an O2 atmosphere effectively promoted the N-nitrosation of both secondary aromatic/aliphatic amines and tertiary aromatic amines with nitromethane (CH3NO2) leading to the preparation of N-nitrosamine derivatives.

Alkali-metal mediated zincation of N-heterocyclic substrates using the lithium zincate complex, (THF)Li(TMP)Zn(tBu)2 and applications in in situ cross coupling reactions

This study investigates the ability of the mixed-metal reagent [Li(TMP)Zn(tBu)2] 1 to promote direct Zn-H exchange reactions (zincations) of a wide range of N-heterocyclic molecules. The generated metallated intermediates from these reactions are intercepted with I2 and some of them are also employed as precursors in Pd-catalysed Negishi cross-coupling applications. A comparison with recent precedents in metallation chemistry reveals that for some of these heterocycles, 1 allows improved conversions, under milder conditions and in certain cases, even gives unique regioselectivities.

Selective monomethylation of anilines by Cu(OAc)2-promoted cross-coupling with MeB(OH)2

Synthesis and β-glucuronidase mediated cleavage of an alcohol prodrug incorporating a double spacer moiety

An alcohol prodrug has been prepared by incorporation of two spacer groups between the trigger (glucuronic acid) and nitroveratryl alcohol, used as a model. Release of the later has been observed after hydrolysis of the glycoside by β-glucuronidase. Such prodrugs may find application in ADEPT or PMT potocols in cancer chemotherapy.
