, p. 1986 - 1992 (2022/02/01)
We report here a mechanistically distinct approach to achieve Suzuki-Miyaura-type cross-couplings between alkyl iodides and aryl organoborons. This process requires a copper catalyst but, in contrast with previous approaches based on palladium and nickel

O-heterocycles have wide applications, and their efficient and green synthesis is very interesting. Herein, we report hydrogen-bonding catalyzed ring-closing metathesis of aliphatic ethers to O-heterocycles over ionic liquid (IL) catalyst under metal- and solvent-free conditions. The IL 1-butylsulfonate-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([SO3H-BMIm][OTf]) is discovered to show outstanding performance, better than the reported catalysts. An interface effect plays an important role in mediating the reaction rate due to the immiscibility between the products and the IL catalyst, and the products can be spontaneously separated. NMR analysis and DFT calculation suggest that a pair of cation and anion of [SO3H-BMIm][OTf] could form three strong H-bonds with an ether molecule, which catalyze the ether transformation via a cyclic oxonium intermediate. A series of O-heterocycles including tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, morpholines and dioxane can be obtained from their corresponding ethers in excellent yields (e.g., >99 %). This work opens an efficient and metal-free way to produce O-heterocycles from aliphatic ethers.

Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) of alkyl and aryl halides promoted by electrochemistry represents an attractive alternative to conventional methods that require stoichiometric quantities of high-energy reductants. Most importantly, electroreduction can readily exceed the reducing potentials of chemical reductants to activate catalysts with improved reactivities and selectivities over conventional systems. This work details the mechanistically-driven development of an electrochemical methodology for XEC that utilizes redox-active shuttles developed by the energy-storage community to protect reactive coupling catalysts from overreduction. The resulting electrocatalytic system is practical, scalable, and broadly applicable to the reductive coupling of a wide range of aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl bromides with primary or secondary alkyl bromides. The impact of overcharge protection as a strategy for electrosynthetic methodologies is underscored by the dramatic differences in yields from coupling reactions with added redox shuttles (generally >80%) and those without (generally 20%). In addition to excellent yields for a wide range of substrates, reactions protected from overreduction can be performed at high currents and on multigram scales.

Among all metathesis reactions known to date in organic chemistry, the metathesis of multiple bonds such as alkenes and alkynes has evolved into one of the most powerful methods to construct molecular complexity. In contrast, metathesis reactions involving single bonds are scarce and far less developed, particularly in the context of synthetically valuable ring-closing reactions. Herein, we report an iron-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis of aliphatic ethers for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans, as well as morpholines and polycyclic ethers. This transformation is enabled by a simple iron catalyst and likely proceeds via cyclic oxonium intermediates.

Ether-exchange reaction of alkyl aryl ethers with alcohols and thiols via the cleavage of the C(sp2)-O bond is described. Bi(OTf)3 was found to be a most effective catalyst, and etherification of fused-aromatic ethers proceeded efficiently. Monitoring of reactions revealed conceptually new transether-ification between two different ethers, which can be regarded as single-bond metathesis under the same reaction conditions.

, p. 13096 - 13100 (2018/09/21)
A cobalt-catalyzed decarboxylative Negishi coupling reaction of redox-active aliphatic esters with organozinc reagents was developed. The method enabled efficient alkyl–aryl, alkyl–alkenyl, and alkyl–alkynyl coupling reactions under mild reaction conditions with no external ligand or additive needed. The success of an in situ activation protocol and the facile synthesis of the drug molecule (±)-preclamol highlight the synthetic potential of this method. Mechanistic studies indicated that a radical mechanism is involved.

4-Cyclohexylbutyl-N-[(S)-2-oxoazetidin-3-yl]carbamate (3b) is a potent, selective and systemically active inhibitor of intracellular NAAA activity, which produces profound anti-inflammatory effects in animal models. In the present work, we describe structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on 3-aminoazetidin-2-one derivatives, which have led to the identification of 3b, and expand these studies to elucidate the principal structural and stereochemical features needed to achieve effective NAAA inhibition. Investigations on the influence of the substitution at the β-position of the 2-oxo-3-azetidinyl ring as well as on the effect of size and shape of the carbamic acid ester side chain led to the discovery of 3ak, a novel inhibitor of human NAAA that shows an improved physicochemical and drug-like profile relative to 3b. This favourable profile, along with the structural diversity of the carbamic acid chain of 3b, identify this compound as a promising new tool to investigate the potential of NAAA inhibitors as therapeutic agents for the treatment of pain and inflammation.

Cross-couplings of alkyl halides and organometallic species based on single electron transfer using Ni and Fe catalyst systems have been studied extensively, and separately, for decades. Here we demonstrate the first couplings of redox-active esters (both isolated and derived in situ from carboxylic acids) with organozinc and organomagnesium species using an Fe-based catalyst system originally developed for alkyl halides. This work is placed in context by showing a direct comparison with a Ni catalyst for >40 examples spanning a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary substrates. This new C-C coupling is scalable and sustainable, and it exhibits a number of clear advantages in several cases over its Ni-based counterpart.

A strategy for cross-electrophile coupling has been developed via the merger of photoredox and transition metal catalysis. In this report, we demonstrate the use of commercially available tris(trimethylsilyl)silane with metallaphotoredox catalysis to efficiently couple alkyl bromides with aryl or heteroaryl bromides in excellent yields. We hypothesize that a photocatalytically generated silyl radical species can perform halogen-atom abstraction to activate alkyl halides as nucleophilic cross-coupling partners. This protocol allows the use of mild yet robust conditions to construct Csp3-Csp2 bonds generically via a unique cross-coupling pathway.

Sodium hydride (NaH) is widely used as a Br?nsted base in chemical synthesis and reacts with various Br?nsted acids, whereas it rarely behaves as a reducing reagent through delivery of the hydride to polar π electrophiles. This study presents a series of reduction reactions of nitriles, amides, and imines as enabled by NaH in the presence of LiI or NaI. This remarkably simple protocol endows NaH with unprecedented and unique hydride-donor chemical reactivity.
