N,N-Dimethylaminophenyl moiety is a common fragment in medicinal chemistry as several pharmaceuticals bearing this privileged motif are on the market and under clinical evaluation. Oxidative N-demethylation is generally regarded as the major metabolic pathway. However, pharmacokinetics, metabolites studies as well as the further structural modification are precluded by the impracticality of chemical synthesis. Here we report that acetic acid can significantly accelerate visible-light photoredox catalyzed N-demethylation of N,N-dimethylaminophenyl derivatives. This approach is easy for large scale reaction and even for potential industrial manufacture. (Figure presented.).
Metal-free reductive cleavage of N-O bonds in weinreb amides by an organic neutral super-electron donor
Cutulic, Sylvain P. Y.,Murphy, John A.,Farwaha, Hardeep,Zhou, Sheng-Ze,Chrystal, Ewan
experimental part, p. 2132 - 2136 (2009/04/08)
The scope of neutral organic super-electron donors as reducing agents has been extended to include the reductive cleavage of N-O bonds in Weinreb amides. This methodology proved to be applicable to a large array of substrates to afford their reduced counterparts in good to excellent yields. The variation in reactivity within the set of tested amides is rationalised. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
