Large-bite diboranes for the μ(1,2) complexation of hydrazine and cyanide
Chen, Chang-Hong,Gabba?, Fran?ois P.
, p. 6210 - 6218 (2018)
As part of our interest in the chemistry of polydentate Lewis acids as hosts for diatomic molecules, we have investigated the synthesis and coordination chemistry of bidentate boranes that feature a large boron-boron separation. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of a new example of such a diborane, namely 1,8-bis(dimesitylboryl)triptycene (2) and compare its properties to those of the recently reported 1,8-bis(dimesitylboryl)biphenylene (1). These comparative studies reveal that these two diboranes feature some important differences. As indicated by cyclic voltammetry, 1 is more electron deficient than 2; it also adopts a more compact and rigid structure with a boron-boron separation (4.566(5) ?) shorter by ～1 ? than that in 2 (5.559(4) ?). These differences appear to dictate the coordination behaviour of these two compounds. While 2 remains inert toward hydrazine, we observed that 1 forms a very stable μ(1,2) hydrazine complex which can also be obtained by phase transfer upon layering a solution of 1 with a dilute aqueous hydrazine solution. The stability of this complex is further reflected by its lack of reaction with benzaldehyde at room temperature. We have also investigated the behaviour of 1 and 2 toward anions. In MeOH/CHCl3 (1/1 vol) both compounds selectively bind cyanide to form the corresponding μ(1,2) chelate complexes with a B-CN-B bridge at their cores. Competition experiments in protic media show that the anionic cyanide complex formed by 1 is the most stable, with no evidence of decomplexation even in the presence of (C6F5)3B.
Functionalization of Sn/S Clusters with Hetero- and Polyaromatics
Leusmann, Eliza,Schneck, Felix,Dehnen, Stefanie
, p. 3264 - 3271 (2015)
We report a mild and all-purpose method to synthesize several hydrazone-functionalized homo- and heteroaromatic molecules, as well as the attachment of the latter to organic functionalized Sn/S clusters. It turned out that the size of the aromatic system has a great influence on the crystallization tendency of the products, which were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and/or single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The last technique indicates the presence of intramolecular or intermolecular stacking of the aromatic rings.
Ruthenium catalyzed β-selective alkylation of vinylpyridines with aldehydes/ketonesviaN2H4mediated deoxygenative couplings

, p. 2870 - 2875 (2021/03/14)
Umpolung (polarity reversal) tactics of aldehydes/ketones have greatly broadened carbonyl chemistry by enabling transformations with electrophilic reagents and deoxygenative functionalizations. Herein, we report the first ruthenium-catalyzed β-selective alkylation of vinylpyridines with both naturally abundant aromatic and aliphatic aldehyde/ketonesviaN2H4mediated deoxygenative couplings. Compared with one-electron umpolung of carbonyls to alcohols, this two-electron umpolung strategy realized reductive deoxygenation targets, which were not only applicable to the regioselective alkylation of a broad range of 2/4-alkene substituted pyridines, but also amenable to challenging 3-vinyl and steric-embedded internal pyridines as well as their analogous heterocyclic structures.

The addition of organometallic reagents to unsaturated bonds is one of the most powerful tools for carbon–carbon bond formations. Alkylation through organometallic reagents requires stoichiometric quantity of metal and tedious anhydrous operation in most cases. Here, we report “umpolung” nucleophilic additions of hydrazones to Michael acceptors, carbonyls and imines in water. Under the catalysis of ruthenium(II), the addition reactions could be carried out in pure water to provide various alkylation products in moderate to good yields.
Solid phase submonomer azapeptide synthesis
Bowles, Maxwell,Proulx, Caroline
, p. 169 - 190 (2021/05/26)
Azapeptides contain at least one aza-amino acid, where the α-carbon has been replaced by a nitrogen atom, and have found broad applicability in fields ranging from medicinal chemistry to biomaterials. In this chapter, we provide a step-by-step protocol for the solid phase submonomer synthesis of azapeptides, which includes three steps: (1) hydrazone activation and coupling onto a resin-bound peptide, (2) chemoselective semicarbazone functionalization for installation of the aza-amino acid side chain, and (3) orthogonal deprotection of the semicarbazone to complete the monomer addition cycle. We focus on semicarbazone functionalization by N-alkylation with primary alkyl halides, and describe conditions for coupling onto aza-amino acids. Such divergent methods accelerate the synthesis of peptidomimetics and allow the rapid introduction of a wide variety of natural and unnatural side chains directly on solid support using easily accessible submonomers.
Palladium-Catalyzed Defluorinative Alkylation of gem-Difluorocyclopropanes: Switching Regioselectivity via Simple Hydrazones

Conventional approaches for Pd-catalyzed ring-opening cross-couplings of gem-difluorocyclopropanes with nucleophiles predominantly deliver the β-fluoroalkene scaffolds (linear selectivity). Herein, we report a cooperative strategy that can completely switch the reaction selectivity to give the alkylated α-fluoroalkene skeletons (branched selectivity). The unique reactivity of hydrazones that enables analogous inner-sphere 3,3′-reductive elimination driven by denitrogenation, as well as the assistance of steric-embedded N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, are the key to switch the regioselectivity. A wide range of hydrazones derived from naturally abundant aryl and alkyl aldehydes are well applicable, and various gem-difluorocyclopropanes, including modified pharmaceutical and biological molecules, can be efficiently functionalized with high value alkylated α-fluorinated alkene motifs under mild conditions.

The use of hydrazones as a new type of submonomer in peptoid synthesis is described, giving access to peptoid monomers that are structure-inducing. A wide range of hydrazones were found to readily react with α-bromoamides in routine solid phase peptoid submonomer synthesis. Conditions to promote a one-pot cleavage of the peptoid from the resin and reduction to the correspondingN-alkylamino side chains were also identified, and both theN-imino- andN-alkylamino glycine residues were found to favor thetrans-amide bond geometry by NMR, X-ray crystallography, and computational analyses.

Copper-catalyzed conjugate addition is a classic method for forming new carbon-carbon bonds. However, copper has never showed catalytic activity for umpolung carbanions in hydrazone chemistry. Herein, we report a facile conjugate addition of hydrazone catalyzed by readily available copper complexes at room temperature. The employment of mesitylcopper(I) and electron-rich phosphine bidentate ligand is a key factor affecting reactivity. The reaction allows various aromatic hydrazones to react with diverse conjugated compounds to produce 1,4-adducts in yields of about 20 to 99%.

A new route to synthesis of various mono-N-substituted hydrazines and hydrazides by involving in a new C?N bond formation by using N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide as a regenerated precursor was invented. Aniline and phenylhydrazines are reproduced upon reacting these individually with 1,8-naphthalic anhydride followed by hydrazinolysis. The practicality and simplicity of this C?N dihalo alkanes; developed a synthon for bond formation protocol was exemplified to various hydrazines and hydrazides. N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide is suitable synthon for transformation for selective formation of mono-substituted hydrazine and hydrazide derivatives. Those are selective mono-amidation of hydrazine with acid halides; mono-N-substituted hydrazones from aldehydes; synthesis of N-aminoazacycloalkanes from acetohydrazide scaffold and inserted to hydroxy derivatives; distinct synthesis of N,N-dibenzylhydrazines and N-benzylhydrazines from benzyl halides; synthesis of N-amino-amino acids from α-halo esters. Ecofriendly reagent N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide was regenerated with good yields by the hydrazinolysis in all procedures.

Controlling reaction selectivity is a permanent pursuit for chemists. Regioselective catalysis, which exploits and/or overcomes innate steric and electronic bias to deliver diverse regio-enriched products from the same starting materials, represents a powerful tool for divergent synthesis. Recently, the 1,2-Markovnikov hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes with simple hydrazones was reported to generate branched allylic compounds when a nickel catalyst was used. As part of the effort, shown here is that a complete switch of Markovnikov to anti-Markovnikov addition is obtained by changing to a ruthenium catalyst, thus providing direct and efficient access to homoallylic products exclusively. Isotopic substitution experiments indicate that no reversible hydro-metallation across the metal-π-allyl system occurred under ruthenium catalysis. Moreover, this protocol is applicable to the regiospecific hydroalkylation of the distal C=C bond of 1,3-enynes.
