Photocatalyzed Site-Selective C(sp3)-H Functionalization of Alkylpyridines at Non-Benzylic Positions

Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT)-photocatalyzed C-H functionalization of alkylpyridines was investigated. Unlike alkylbenzene counterparts, alkylation of α-C-H bonds did not proceed for the reaction of 2- and 4-alkylpyridines and reluctantly proceeded for 3-alkylpyridines, which allow site-selective C(sp3)-H functionalization at nonbenzylic positions. The observed nonbenzylic site selectivities are rationalized by the polar inductive effects of pyridyl groups in the SH2 transition states. Consecutive γ-functionalization and α-bromofunctionalization were successfully carried out in selected cases.

Herein we describe a general, mild, and scalable method for hydrodeoxygenation of readily accessible tertiary alkyl oxalates by Zn/silane under Ni-catalyzed conditions. The reduction method is suitable for an array of structural motifs derived from tertiary alcohols that bear diverse functional groups, including the synthesis of a key intermediate en route to estrone.

Traditional methods for the preparation of secondary alkyl-substituted aryl and heteroaryl chlorides challenge both selectivity and functional group tolerance. This contribution describes the use of statistical design of experiments to develop an effective procedure for the preparation of isopropyl-substituted (hetero)arenes with minimal isopropyl to n-propyl isomerization. The reaction tolerates electronically diverse aryl chloride coupling partners, with excellent conversion observed for strongly electron-deficient aromatic rings, such as esters and amides. Electron-rich systems, including methyl- and methoxy-substituted aryl chlorides, were found to be less reactive. Furthermore, the reaction was found to be most successful when heteroaryl chlorides were submitted to the cross-coupling protocol. By mapping substituent effects on reaction selectivity, we were able to show that electron-deficient aryl chlorides are essential for efficient coupling, and use electronic structure calculations to predict the likelihood of successful coupling through the estimation of the electron affinity of each aryl chloride. Moderate isolated yields were achieved with selected aryl chlorides, and moderate to good isolated yields were obtained for all the heteroaryl chlorides coupled. Excellent selectivity was observed when a 2,6-dichloroquinoline was used, allowing mono-substitution on a challenging substrate. (Figure presented.).

experimental part, p. 6032 - 6038 (2011/12/15)
All the stereoisomers of stenusine (1) and norstenusine (21) have been efficiently synthesized by the asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridines. The (2R,3S)- and (2R,3R)-isomers of 1, that are difficult to prepare, have been synthesized for the first time using a chemoenzymatic approach in eight steps with an 8 % total yield. All the target compounds were obtained in good stereochemical purity by using very simple and inexpensive reagents and auxiliaries. All the stereoisomers of the defensive alkaloids stenusine and norstenusine produced by Stenus beetles have been synthesized in a straightforward manner. The chiral (S) side chain is derived from (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol. For the difficult preparation of (R)-3-(2-methylbutyl) pyridine, a highly efficient chemoenzymatic approach was developed.
Short synthesis of stenusine and norstenusine, two spreading alkaloids from Stenus beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Gedig, Thomas,Dettner, Konrad,Seifert, Karlheinz
, p. 2670 - 2674 (2007/10/03)
Each of the both spreading alkaloids stenusine and norstenusine could be synthesized starting from commercially available 3-picoline in a two-step synthesis in yields of 74% and 67% in gram scale. The stereoisomeric ratio of the synthesized (+)-stenusine is similar to that of stenusine from Stenus comma.

, p. 1497 - 1504 (2007/10/02)
A new method for the alkyl group introduction at the 3-position of pyridines is described: Reductive disilylation of pyridine, its 2-methyl, 3-methyl, and 4-methyl derivatives affords the corresponding 1,4-disilyl-1,4-dihydropyridines.Tn the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride, these dihydropyridines smoothly react with a variety of aldehydes and ketones to give 3-alkylpyridines.

The reaction of 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride offers a convenient method for the preparation of 3-alkylpyridines.
