Reductive Alkylation of Tertiary Lactams via Addition of Organocopper (RCu) Reagents to Thioiminium Ions

A simple procedure for the conversion of tertiary lactams to 2-monoalkylated cyclic amines is described. The reaction sequence involves conversion of a lactam to a thioiminium ion followed by reaction with an organocopper (RCu) reagent and final reduction with triacetoxyborohydride. The reaction is high yielding and shows an excellent functional group tolerance. Its utility is demonstrated by a rapid synthesis of indolizidine 167B. The excellent chemoselectivity of the process, where only monoalkylation products are formed, is rationalized by a mechanism involving the formation of a transient enamine.

Synthesis, spectral, and anti-microbial studies of thioiminium iodides and amine hydrochlorides

To avoid the undesired deprotonation during the addition of organolithium and organomagnesium reagents to ketones, the thioiminium salts, easily prepared from lactams and amides are converted into 2,2-disubstituted and 2-monosubstituted amines by reaction with simple nucleophiles such as organocerium and organocopper reagents. The reaction of thioiminium iodides with organocerium reagents derived by transmetalation of corresponding lithium reagents with anhydrous cerium(III) chloride has been investigated. These thioiminium iodides act as good electrophiles and accept alkylceriums towards bisaddition. The newly synthesized amines have been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, IR and mass spectra. The amines have been converted into their hydrochlorides and characterized by COSY. These hydrochlorides have been subjected to antimicrobial screening with clinically isolated microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and Candida albicans. The hydrochlorides show quite good activity against these bacteria and fungus.

Studies on the Eschenmoser coupling reaction and insights on its mechanism. Application in the synthesis of Norallosedamine and other alkaloids

The conditions of the Eschenmoser coupling reaction were studied. The formation of the α-thioiminium ion was achieved faster in the presence of an additive (NaI) and dry chloroform as the preferred solvent. The developed conditions were used for the second part of the reaction (the sulfur extrusion itself). The present protocol avoids the formation of byproducts, which were previously described as a major drawback to be overcome. Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used to characterize some aspects (intermediates) of the first step of the reaction mechanism. Some reduction conditions were properly tested and the selected conditions were applied to the synthesis of the natural alkaloid Norallosedamine and other derivatives.

An efficient method to convert lactams and amides into 2,2-dialkylated amines

(Chemical Equation Presented) A practical method for the synthesis of gem-2,2-disubstituted tertiary amines from the corresponding lactams (or amides) is reported. It is based on the reaction of thioiminium ions, easily prepared from lactams and amides wi

A convenient method for the selective reduction of amides to amines

A variety of amides have been selectively reduced to the corresponding amines via conversion to their thioamides and treatment with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate followed by sodium borohydride. This procedure is compatible with isolated and conjugated double bonds, esters, intro groups, and sulfonamides.
