Acid-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of two cyanamides and one ynamide: Highly regioselective synthesis of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidines

Triflic acid (10 mol%) catalyzes the highly regioselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition between two cyanamides and one ynamide to grant the 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine core. The developed synthetic method is effective for the preparation of a family of the diversely substituted heterocyclic products (30 examples; yields up to 94%). The synthesis can be easily scaled up and conducted in gram quantities. As demonstrated by the post-functionalizations involving the amino-substituents, the obtained heterocycles represent a useful platform for the construction of miscellaneous pyrimidine-based frameworks. The performed density functional theory calculations verified a particular role of H+, functioning as an electrophilic activator, in the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition.

Synthesis of Sulfonamide-Based Ynamides and Ynamines in Water

Ynamides, though relatively more stable than ynamines, are still moisture-sensitive and prone to hydration especially under acidic and heating conditions. Here we report an environmentally benign, robust protocol to synthesize sulfonamide-based ynamides and arylynamines via Sonogashira coupling reactions in water, using a readily available quaternary ammonium salt as the surfactant.

Direct oxidation ofN-ynylsulfonamides intoN-sulfonyloxoacetamides with DMSO as a nucleophilic oxidant

N-Arylethynylsulfonamides are oxidized intoN-sulfonyl-2-aryloxoacetamides directly and efficiently with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as both an oxidant and solvent with microwave assistance. DFT calculations indicate that DMSO nucleophilically attacks the ethylic triple bond and transfers its oxygen atom to the triple bond to form zwitterionic anionicN-sulfonyliminiums to trigger the reaction. Then it nucleophilically attacks the generated iminium intermediates to accomplish the oxidationviathe second oxygen atom transfer. The current method provides a straightforward and efficient strategy to transform variousN-arylethynylsulfonamides intoN-sulfonyl-2-aryloxoacetamides, sulfonyl oxoacetimides, without any other electrophilic activators or oxidants.

A Micellar Catalysis Strategy for Amidation of Alkynyl Bromides: Synthesis of Ynamides in Water

Copper-catalyzed amidation of alkynyl bromides can be carried out in water for the first time, which is made possible by a micellar catalysis strategy using rosin-based surfactant APGS-550-M. The surfactant can be easily prepared from natural abundant biomass, resin acids. Studies as to substrate scope and reaction aqueous medium recycling showcase the ease and sustainability of this technology.

Transition-Metal-Free One-Step Synthesis of Ynamides

A robust transition-metal-free one-step strategy for the synthesis of ynamides from sulfonamides and (Z)-1,2-dichloroalkenes or alkynyl chlorides is presented. This method is not only effective for internal ynamides but also amenable for terminal ynamides. Various functional groups, even the vinyl moiety, are compatible, and thus, this strategy offers the opportunity for further functionalization.

Sulfilimines as Versatile Nitrene Transfer Reagents: Facile Access to Diverse Aza-Heterocycles

We herein report the unprecedented synthesis of diverse biologically important aza-heterocycles by employing sulfilimines as nitrene transfer reagents. This class of sulfur-based aza-ylides had not been successfully used for gold nitrene transfer before. This work contains an efficient generation of α-imino gold carbenes by N?S cleavage of sulfilimines. These gold carbenes undergo C?H insertion, cyclopropanation, and nucleophilic attack to form indoles (44 examples), 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-imines (24 examples), and imidazoles (3 examples). Our study represents a unique gold-catalyzed reaction between alkynes and sulfur ylides, and also includes the first aza-heterocycle synthesis that proceeds by intermolecular nitrene transfer followed by cyclopropanation of the α-imino gold carbenes. Moreover, an unexpected synthesis of 4-acylquinolines (3 examples) from 2-acylphenyl sulfilimines and propargylic silyl ether derivatives by a 1,2-hydride shift onto the α-imino gold carbene and a subsequent Mukaiyama aldol cyclization was discovered.

N-Pyridinyl Sulfilimines as a Source for α-Imino Gold Carbenes: Access to 2-Amino-Substituted N-Fused Imidazoles

Gold-catalyzed formal 1,3-dipolar annulation between readily accessible N-pyridinylsulfilimines and ynamides is reported. A diverse set of imidazole derivatives is prepared from the corresponding sulfilimines and ynamides. These functionalized cyclic products can undergo further transformations to afford diverse imidazole frameworks. Moreover, in situ synthesis is feasible and shows good potential in the synthesis of nucleoside analogues.

A Robust One-Step Approach to Ynamides

A robust one-step synthetic strategy for ynamide with cheap and easily available stock chemicals vinyl dichlorides and electron deficient amides as the starting material is described. In the absence of transition-metal catalyst, the reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions in open air and thus rendering a convenient operation. This strategy is not only suitable for both terminal and internal ynamide synthesis but also amenable for large-scale preparation. Broad substrate scopes with respect to vinyl dichloride as well as electron-deficient amide were observed.

Borane-catalyzed selective hydrosilylation of internal ynamides leading to β-silyl (Z)-enamides

We have developed a borane-catalyzed regioand stereoselective hydrosilylation of internal ynamides for the first time. The scope of ynamide substrates and silane reactants was broad under mild reaction conditions, affording synthetically versatile β-silyl (Z)-enamide products. The observed stereoselectivity was reasoned to be due to the β-silicon effect on a postulated ketene iminium intermediate.

Copper-mediated selective cross-coupling of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes and heteronucleophiles: Development of general routes to heterosubstituted alkynes and alkenes

Efficient and general procedures for the cross-coupling of 1,1-dibromoalkenes and N-, O-, and P-nucleophiles are reported. Fine-tuning of the reaction conditions allows for either site-selective, double, or alkynylative cross-coupling, therefore providing
