An easy stereoselective access to β,γ-aziridino α-amino ester derivatives via Mannich reaction of benzophenone imines of glycine esters with N-sulfonyl α-chloroaldimines

(Chemical Equation Presented) Mannich-type addition of benzophenone imine glycinates across newly synthesized N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) α- chloroaldimines afforded γ-chloro-α,β-diamino ester derivatives with moderate diastereoselectivity as separable mixtures of anti and syn diastereomers. The γ-chloro-α,β-diamino esters were efficiently cyclized under basic conditions to the corresponding β,γ-aziridino α-amino ester derivatives, representing a new class of conformationally constrained heterocyclic α,β-diamino acid derivatives. The relative configuration of the aziridines was determined via X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanisms and intermediate transition states to explain the stereochemical outcome of the Mannich reaction with different substrates or under different conditions are proposed. The synthetic importance of the β,γ- aziridino α-amino ester derivatives is demonstrated by their conversion into the corresponding Boc-protected derivatives and ring opening reactions to α,β-diamino esters and a γ-amino α,β-unsaturated amino ester.

Alkenyl Exchange of Allylamines via Nickel(0)-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage

A functional group exchange reaction between allylamines and alkenes via nickel-catalyzed C - C bond cleavage and formation was developed. This reaction provides a novel protocol, which does not require the use of unstable imine substrates, for the synthesis of allylamines, which are widely used in the production of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.

The Generation of Difluoroketenimine and Its Application in the Synthesis of α,α-Difluoro-β-amino Amides

Fluorine-containing β-amino acids and their derivatives have attracted significant attention due to their importance in life sciences. Herein the previously unknown difluoroketenimine, the analogue of the elusive difluoroketene, has been generated by the

NHC ligand-enabled Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkynes and imines using isopropanol as a reductant

A nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkynes and imines using readily available isopropanol as the reducing agent was developed. The use of a sterically bulky and electron-rich carbene ligand (AnIPr) significantly promotes the reaction, providing various multi-substituted allylic amines in 23-89% yield and the corresponding chiral ligand (AnIPr-3) can afford the products in 51-95% ee.

Palladium-Catalyzed Direct Intramolecular C-N Bond Formation: Access to Multisubstituted Dihydropyrroles

A palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination of alkenes with retention of olefin functionalization was achieved under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of palladium catalyst, the tosyl-protected amine can directly couple with a double bond to provide versatile dihydropyrrole derivatives in moderate to excellent yields.

Asymmetric Arylation of Imines Catalyzed by Heterogeneous Chiral Rhodium Nanoparticles

Asymmetric arylation of aldimines catalyzed by heterogeneous chiral rhodium nanoparticles has been developed. The reaction proceeded in aqueous media without significant decomposition of the imines by hydrolysis to afford chiral (diarylmethyl)amines in high yields with outstanding enantioselectivities. This catalyst system exhibited the highest turnover number (700) in heterogeneous catalysts reported to date for these reactions. The reusability of the catalyst was also demonstrated.

Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions catalyzed by a cyclopropenylidene

Catalysis using a bis(dialkylamino)cyclopropenylidene (BAC) has been developed, which relies on a formal umpolung activation of Michael acceptor pro-nucleophiles. Various aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions between aromatic, heteroaromatic, or aliphatic imines and acyclic or cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones and carboxylic acid derivatives have been catalyzed by a BAC under mild conditions. Functionalities such as unprotected amino and hydroxy groups have been tolerated. The catalyst loading was decreased to 1 mol% without loss of activity. The BAC catalyst was shown to be substantially more active than a cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC), N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), and P- or N-centered Lewis bases.

Chemoselective Boron-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Activation of Carboxylic Acids for Mannich-Type Reactions

The carboxyl group (COOH) is an omnipresent functional group in organic molecules, and its direct catalytic activation represents an attractive synthetic method. Herein, we describe the first example of a direct catalytic nucleophilic activation of carbox

Aza-Reformatsky reaction promoted by catalytic samarium diiodide: Synthesis of β-amino esters or amides

The synthesis of β-amino esters or amides has been achieved from moderate to high yields from the reaction of imines and α-halo esters or amides promoted by catalytic amounts of samarium diiodide in the presence of magnesium turnings as co-reductant. A me
