Equivalent Loading of Directed Arenes in Pd(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Aryl C-H Bonds at Room Temperature

The unsymmetrical biaryls (Ar1-Ar2) produced by the catalytic cross-couplings of aryl halides (Ar1-halo) with aryl metallics (Ar2-M) in the loading ratio of 1:1 are popular in chemical synthesis. In contrast, there has been less precedence on the same biaryls produced effectively from two normal aryl C-H bonds with equivalent loading. Here, we report that, in a palladium/oxidant/acid catalytic system at room temperature, one arene (Ar1-H, 1 equiv) can highly selectively couple with the other one (Ar2-H, 1 equiv) to afford the target Ar1-Ar2 just by controlling the directing groups and the substituted groups on their phenyl rings. The utility of this one-one cross-coupling is also demonstrated by synthesis of a few bioactive molecules.

Visible-Light-Induced Metal-/Photocatalyst-Free C-H Bond Imidation of Arenes

In this study, a visible-light-induced intermolecular C-H bond imidation of arenes was achieved at ambient condition. By using simple phthalimide with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and molecular iodine, direct metal-/photocatalyst-free C-N bond formation was achieved. The imidation protocol was designed by using time-dependent density functional theory calculations and experimentally demonstrated for 28 substrates with as high as 96% yield. Mechanistic studies indicated that radical-mediated aromatic substitution occurred via photolysis of N-iodophthalimide under visible-light irradiation.

Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of 1H-Indenes and Phthalimides via Isocyanide Insertion

A new and versatile multicomponent domino strategy has been developed for the synthesis of a series of 1H-indene and phthalimide derivatives from simple and readily available starting materials. This process operating under mild conditions shows a broad substrate scope with moderate to excellent yields.

Regioselective gold-catalyzed oxidative C-N bond formation

A novel protocol for the regioselective intermolecular amination of various arenes has been developed. By using an I(III) oxidant in the presence of a Au(I) catalyst, a direct and novel route for regioselectively accessing a variety of substituted aniline moieties has been achieved with yields as high as 90%. Mechanistic insight suggests that regioselectivity can be predicted based on electrophilic aromatic metalation patterns.

A phthalimidation protocol that follows protein defined parameters

This work outlines the first phthalimidation protocol suitable for protein labeling and performed in aqueous media at room temperature and neutral pH with no catalyst or co-reagent required. The methodology is suitable for a range of amines and its efficiency was determined with chemoselective and site-selective protein labeling. This journal is

Nitrogen-centered radical-mediated C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes via visible light induced photocatalysis

The C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes has been achieved via visible light induced photocatalysis. In the presence of an iridium(iii) photoredox catalyst, the reaction of aromatic substrates with N-chlorophthalimide furnishes the N-aryl products at room temperature through a nitrogen-centered radical mediated aromatic substitution.

Sterically controlled, palladium-catalyzed intermolecular amination of arenes

We report the Pd-catalyzed amination of arenes to form N-aryl phthalimides with regioselectivity controlled predominantly by steric effects. Mono-, di-, and trisubstituted arenes lacking a directing group undergo amination reactions with moderate to high yields and high regioselectivities from sequential addition of PhI(OAc)2 as an oxidant in the presence of Pd(OAc) 2 as catalyst. This sterically derived selectivity contrasts that for analogous arene acetoxylation.

Intermolecular oxidative C-N bond formation under metal-free conditions: Control of chemoselectivity between aryl sp2 and benzylic sp 3 C-H bond imidation

A new synthetic approach toward intermolecular oxidative C-N bond formation of arenes has been developed under transition-metal-free conditions. Complete control of chemoselectivity between aryl sp2 and benzylic sp 3 C-H bond imidation was achieved by the choice of nitrogen sources, representatively being phthalimide and dibenzenesulfonimide, respectively.

Metal-free intermolecular oxidative C-N bond formation via tandem C-H and N-H bond functionalization

The development of a novel intermolecular oxidative amination reaction, a synthetic transformation that involves the simultaneous functionalization of both a N-H and C-H bond, is described. The process, which is mediated by an I(III) oxidant and contains no metal catalysts, provides a rapid and green method for synthesizing protected anilines from simple arenes and phthalimide. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction proceeds via nucleophilic attack of the phthalimide on an aromatic radical cation, as opposed to the electrophilic aromatic amination that has been reported for other I(III) amination reactions. The application of this new reaction to the synthesis of a variety of substituted aniline derivatives is demonstrated.

Process for the production of cyclic carboxylic acid imides

In a process for reacting an aromatic or hydroaromatic alicyclic or heterocyclic dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride with an aliphatic or aromatic alicyclic or heterocyclic mono- or di-amine to produce an N-substituted dicarboxylic acid imide with a splitting off of water, the improvement of carrying out the reaction in a liquid solvent mixture consisting essentially of a non-polar organic solvent and a strongly polar organic solvent which together form a ternary azeotrope with water at reaction temperatures between about 40°C. and 160°C. The imide products are generally known for use as intermediates and final products in a number of industries.
