Allylic Amination of Alkenes with Iminothianthrenes to Afford Alkyl Allylamines

Allylic C-H amination is currently accomplished with (sulfon)amides or carbamates. Here we show the first allylic amination that can directly afford alkyl allylamines, enabled by the reactivity of thianthrene-based nitrogen sources that can be prepared from primary amines in a single step.

Promoting Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Heterogeneous Chemoselective Hydrogenation via the Tailored Pore Environment within Metal–Organic Frameworks

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have recently been advanced as efficient metal-free catalysts for catalytic hydrogenation, but their performance in chemoselective hydrogenation, particularly in heterogeneous systems, has not yet been achieved. Herein, we demonstrate that, via tailoring the pore environment within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), FLPs not only can be stabilized but also can develop interesting performance in the chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated organic compounds, which cannot be achieved with FLPs in a homogeneous system. Using hydrogen gas under moderate pressure, the FLP anchored within a MOF that features open metal sites and hydroxy groups on the pore walls can serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst to selectively reduce the imine bond in α,β-unsaturated imine substrates to afford unsaturated amine compounds.

Visible Light-Mediated Synthesis of Enantiopure γ-Cyclobutane Amino and 3-(Aminomethyl)-5-phenylpentanoic Acids

A visible light-mediated [2+2] photocycloaddition of amide-linked dienes using [Ir(dtb-bpy)(dF(CF3)ppy)2]PF6 as triplet sensitizer was applied to generate a variety of N-tert-butyl, N-benzyl- and N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-protected 3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-2-ones in good yields and with good diastereoselectivity. Density functional theory calculations shed light on the conformational prerequisites for the [2+2] photocycloaddition. The bicyclic key structures could be readily transformed into γ-cyclobutane amino acids. For the obtained racemic 3-phenyl-2-aminocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid the resolution with chiral oxazolidin-2-one is demonstrated to allow access to both enantiomers. Alternatively, a chiral auxiliary approach led as well to the enantiomerically pure target compound. Finally, the synthesis of either enantiomer of 3-(aminomethyl)-5-phenylpentanoic acid, the racemate being described as an anticonvulsant, is described.

Anti-Markovnikov rearrangement in sulfur mediated allylic C-H amination of olefins

Cationic rearrangement reactions usually follow Markovnikov's rule to give more substituted carbocations as stable intermediates. During our study on sulfur mediated allylic C-H amination of olefins, very rare cases of anti-Markovnikov rearrangement from secondary carbocations toward primary carbocations or primary triflates were observed.

Iridium complex-catalyzed allylic amination of allylic esters

Iridium complex-catalyzed allylic amination of allylic carbonates was studied. The solvent strongly affected the catalytic activity. The use of a polar solvent such as EtOH is essential for obtaining the products in high yield. The reaction of (E)-3-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate and 1-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate with pyrrolidine in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ir(COD)Cl]2 and P(OPh)3 (P/Ir=2) gave a branch amine with up to 99% selectivity. Both secondary and primary amines could be used for this reaction. When a primary amine was used, selective monoallylation occurred. No diallylation product was obtained. The reaction of 1,1-disubstituted-2-propenyl acetate with amines exclusively gave an α,α-disubstituted allylic amine. This reaction provides an alternative route to the addition of an organometallic reagent to ketimines for the preparation of such amines. The reaction of (Z)-3-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate with amines gave (Z)-linear amines with up to 100% selectivity. In all cases, no (E)-linear amine was obtained. The selectivities described here have not been achieved in similar palladium complex-catalyzed reactions.

Synthesis of Secondary Allylic Amines

Secondary allylic amines were synthesized from aldehydes and primary amines via successive conversion into aldimines, α-haloaldimines and α,β-unsaturated aldimines, the latter being selectively reduced by sodium borohydride at the imino function.This method allowed the synthesis of secondary allylic amines with high preponderance of the E-stereochemistry.A comparison was made with an alternative method involving the generation of α,β-unsaturated aldimines from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and primary amines, and subsequent borohydride reduction.
