Base-controlled chemoselectivity: direct coupling of alcohols and acetonitriles to synthesise α-alkylated arylacetonitriles or acetamides

We achieved chemoselective synthesis of α-alkylated arylacetonitriles and acetamides by combining Ir complex-catalysed direct coupling of alcohols and nitriles by a simple adjustment of the base. Methanol and ethanol performed well as the alkylating reagents. This method of acetonitrile alkylation provided a novel approach for carbon chain extension.

Rhenium(I)-Catalyzed C-Methylation of Ketones, Indoles, and Arylacetonitriles Using Methanol

A ReCl(CO)5/MeC(CH2PPh2)3 (L2) system was developed for the C-methylation reactions utilizing methanol and base, following the borrowing hydrogen strategy. Diverse ketones, indoles, and arylacetonitriles underwent mono-and dimethylation selectively up to 99% yield. Remarkably, tandem multiple methylations were also achieved by employing this catalytic system.

A novel route to (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)propan-l-amine, a key intermediate for the synthesis of lorcaserin

A new and efficient three-step synthesis of (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)propan-l-amine is reported, which serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of the antiobesity drug lorcaserin. The key step is a chiral resolution due to the formation of a salt with l-(-

Cyanide-Free and Broadly Applicable Enantioselective Synthetic Platform for Chiral Nitriles through a Biocatalytic Approach

A cyanide-free platform technology for the synthesis of chiral nitriles by biocatalytic enantioselective dehydration of a wide range of aldoximes is reported. The nitriles were obtained with high enantiomeric excess of >90 % ee (and up to 99 % ee) in many cases, and a “privileged substrate structure” with respect to high enantioselectivity was identified. Furthermore, a surprising phenomenon was observed for the enantiospecificity that is usually not observed in enzyme catalysis. Depending on whether the E or Z isomer of the racemic aldoxime substrate was employed, one or the other enantiomer of the corresponding nitrile was formed preferentially with the same enzyme.

Copper-Catalyzed Cyanation of N-Tosylhydrazones with Thiocyanate Salt as the "cN" Source

A novel protocol for the synthesis of α-aryl nitriles has been successfully achieved via a copper-catalyzed cyanation of N-tosylhydrazones employing thiocyanate as the source of cyanide. The features of this method include a convenient operation, readily available substrates, low-toxicity thiocyanate salts, and a broad substrate scope.

Catalytic asymmetric protonation of silyl ketene imines

An efficient catalytic and highly enantioselective protonation of silyl ketene imines is described. The reaction is catalyzed by the chiral phosphoric acids TRIP or STRIP in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of methanol as the proton source and silyl acceptor. A variety of substituted racemic silyl ketene imines have been transformed into highly enantioenriched nitriles.
