Ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of aromatic nitriles with alkenes: Stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones
Reddy, Mallu Chenna,Jeganmohan, Masilamani
, p. 4866 - 4869 (2014)
Aromatic nitriles underwent cyclization with activated alkenes in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst, AgSbF6, and Cu(OAc)2·H2O providing substituted 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones with high Z-stereoselectivity. The Z-stereoselectivity of the 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-one moiety was controlled by the intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

We report a new set of reactions based on the unlocking of amides through simple treatment with allyl bromide, creating a common platform for accessing a diverse range of nitrogen-containing functional groups such as primary amides, sulfonamides, primary amines, N-acyl compounds (esters, thioesters, amides), and N-sulfonyl esters. The method has potential industrial applicability, as demonstrated through gram-scale syntheses in batch and in a continuous flow system.

A LiOH-promoted hydrolysis selective C-N cleavage of twisted N-acyl glutarimide for the synthesis of primary amides under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction is triggered by a ring opening of glutarimide followed by C-N cleavage to afford primary amides using 2 equiv of LiOH as the base at room temperature. The efficacy of the reactions was considered and administrated for various aryl and alkyl substituents in good yield with high selectivity. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis of primary amides using a continuous flow method was achieved. It is noted that our new methodology can apply under both batch and flow conditions for synthetic and industrial applications.

Introducing amines/ammonia into lignin cracking will allow novel bond cleavage pathways. Herein, a method of amines/ammonia-mediated bond cleavage in oxidized lignin β-O-4 models was studied using a copper catalyst at room temperature, demonstrating the effect of the amine source on the selectivity of products. For primary and secondary aliphatic amines, lignin ketone models underwent oxidative Cα?Cβ bond cleavage and Cα?N bond formation to generate aromatic amides. For ammonia, the competition between oxygen and ammonia determined the selectivity between Cα?N and Cβ?N bond formation, generating amides and α-keto amides, respectively. For tertiary amines, the lignin models underwent oxidative Cα?Cβ bond cleavage to benzoic acids. Control experiments indicated that amines act as nucleophiles attacking at the Cα or Cβ position of the oxidized β-O-4 linkage to be cleaved. This study represents a novel example that the breakage of oxidized lignin model can be regulated by amines with a copper catalyst.

Various primary amides have been synthesized using the transamidation of various tertiary amides under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. When (NH4)2CO3 reacts with a tertiary amide bearing an N-electron-withdrawing substituent, such as sulfonyl and diacyl, in DMSO at 25 °C, the desired primary amide product is formed in good yield with good funcctional group tolerance. In addition, N-tosylated lactam derivatives afforded their corresponding N-tosylamido alkyl amide products via a ring opening reaction.

A series of ruthenium(III)2-(aminofluoreneazo)phenolate complexes with general formula [RuCl(PPh3)2(L1-5)] (1–5) (L = 2-(aminofluoreneazo)phenolate ligands) have been synthesized. The characterization of the synthesized complexes was accomplished by elemental analysis, spectroscopic (FT-IR, UV–Vis, Fluorescence and EPR) and ESI-MStechniques. The catalytic performance of one of the synthesized complexes 3 for the amidation of aldehyde in the presence of NaHCO3/NH2OH·HCl has been evaluated. The fluorescence emission of complexes [RuCl(PPh3)2(L2)] (2) and [RuCl(PPh3)2(L3) (3)] are effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone in acetonitrile medium.

A useful and efficient approach for the synthesis of nitroarenes from several aromatic amines (including heterocycles) using peroxide and base has been developed. This oxidative reaction is very easy to handle and afforded the products in good yields. Formation of benzamides from benzylamine was also successfully carried out with this metal-free catalytic system in good to excellent yields.

Here we present the highly effective cleavage of C-C bonds in lignin model compounds for the production of N-substituted aromatics in up to 96% total yield, including benzonitriles and amides, via oxime formation followed by Beckmann rearrangement (BR). The amides could be further hydrolyzed to anilines (>92% yield) and carboxylic acids (>90% yield), respectively. In addition, the employment of a substrate with a γ-OH group will lead to the formation of C-2 monosubstituted oxazole. A one-pot process involving the BR reaction and hydrolysis has also been developed to directly afford an up to 96% total yield of benzonitriles, benzamides, and anilines. This strategy enabled us to successfully apply the BR reaction to the degradation of lignin model compounds to N-functionalized aromatic products under mild conditions.

Reports on aerobic oxidation of amines to amides are rare, and those reported suffer from several limitations like poor yield or selectivity and make use of pure oxygen under elevated pressure. Herein, we report a practical and an efficient ruthenium-catalyzed synthetic protocol that enables selective oxidation of a broad range of primary aliphatic, heterocyclic and benzylic amines to their corresponding amides, using readily available reagents and ambient air as the sole oxidant. Secondary amines instead, yield benzamides selectively as the sole product. Mechanistic investigations reveal intermediacy of nitriles, which undergo hydration to afford amide as the final product.
Metal-Free Thermal Activation of Molecular Oxygen Enabled Direct α-CH2-Oxygenation of Free Amines
Ghosh, Santanu,Jana, Chandan K.
, p. 260 - 266 (2018/02/19)
Direct oxidation of α-CH2 group of free amines is hard to achieve due to the higher reactivity of amine moiety. Therefore, oxidation of amines involves the use of sophisticated metallic reagents/catalyst in the presence or absence of hazardous oxidants under sensitive reaction conditions. A novel method for direct C-H oxygenation of aliphatic amines through a metal-free activation of molecular oxygen has been developed. Both activated and unactivated free amines were oxygenated efficiently to provide a wide variety of amides (primary, secondary) and lactams under operationally simple conditions without the aid of metallic reagents and toxic oxidants. The method has been applied to the synthesis of highly functionalized amide-containing medicinal drugs, such as O-Me-alibendol and -buclosamide.
