One-Pot Tandem ortho-Naphthoquinone-Catalyzed Aerobic Nitrosation of N-Alkylanilines and Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization Sequence to Indole and Aniline Derivatives

The nitroso group served as a traceless directing group for the C-H functionalization of N-alkylanilines, ultimately removed after functioning either as an internal oxidant or under subsequent reducing conditions. The unique ability of o-NQ catalysts to aerobically oxidize the N-alkylanilines without using solvents and stoichiometric amounts of oxidants has rendered the new opportunity to develop the telescoped catalyst systems without a need for directly handling the hazardous N-nitroso compounds.

Rhodium-catalyzed tandem acylmethylation/annulation ofN-nitrosoanilines with sulfoxonium ylides for the synthesis of substituted indazoleN-oxides

An atom-economical protocol for synthesizing indazoleN-oxides from readily availableN-nitrosoanilines and sulfoxonium ylides through the rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H activation and cyclization reaction is described here. This protocol employs nitroso as a traceless directing group. The transformation features powerful reactivity, tolerates various functional groups, and proceeds with moderate to good yields under an ambient atmosphere, providing a straightforward approach to access structurally diverse and valuable indazoleN-oxide derivatives. Importantly, this new annulation process represents a hitherto unobserved reactivity pattern for theN-nitroso group.

Nitric oxide reactivity of a Cu(II) complex of an eneamine ligand that lead to the C=C bond breaking of the ligand to form amide compound

A copper(II) complex with bidentate ligand L [L, N-4-(phenylimino)pent-2-en-2-yl)benzenamine] was synthesized as its perchlorate salt. The single crystal structure for ligand L was determined as its chloride salt. The nitric oxide reactivity of the complex was studied in acetonitrile solvent. The formation of thermally unstable [Cu(II)-NO] intermediate on reaction of the complex with nitric oxide in acetonitrile solution was observed prior to the reduction of copper(II) centres to copper(I). The reduction was found to result with a mono nitrosation at the secondary amine site as well as C=C bond breaking of the ligand leads to the formation of an amide product. All the products were isolated and characterized spectroscopically. The X-ray single crystal structure of the amide compound was determined.

Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed indole synthesis at room temperature using the transient oxidizing directing group strategy

Rh-catalyzed reactions of N-alkyl anilines with internal alkynes at room temperature have been developed using an in situ generated N-nitroso group as a transient oxidizing directing group. Due to mild reaction conditions, this method enabled synthesis of a broad range of N-alkyl indoles, including even two indole-based medicinal compounds. Our work disclosed the feasibility of the transient oxidizing directing group strategy in C-H functionalization reactions, which possesses the potential to enhance overall step-economy and impart new reactivity patterns to substrates.

Cp?Rh(iii) catalyzed: Ortho -halogenation of N -nitrosoanilines by solvent-controlled regioselective C-H functionalization

We present a novel, efficient, and regioselective method for the rhodium-catalyzed direct C-H ortho-halogenation of anilines that involves a removable N-nitroso directing group. This method featured mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and satisfactory yields. To maintain the high ortho-regioselectivity and conversion, increasing the steric hindrance of the solvent was critical. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that C-H activation may be involved in the rate-determining step.

Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling of aniline with heteroarene: N-nitroso group enabled mild conditions

The development of transition metal-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling between two (hetero)arenes to forge aryl-heteroaryl motifs under mild conditions is an appealing yet challenging task. Herein, we disclose a rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling reaction of an N-nitrosoaniline with a heteroarene under mild conditions. The judicious choice of the N-nitroso group as a directing group enables heightened reactivity. The coupled products could be transformed expediently to (2-aminophenyl)heteroaryl skeletons.

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Directed C?H Amidation of N-Nitrosoanilines and Subsequent Formation of 1,2-Disubstituted Benzimidazoles

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed direct C?H amidation of N-nitrosoanilines with 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as amidating agents has been developed. This method featured mild reaction conditions, a wide substrate scope and satisfactory yields. Besides, the amidated products could be readily converted to pharmaceutically valuable 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles via an HCl-mediated deprotection/cyclization process in one pot.

An efficient synthesis of: N -nitrosamines under solvent, metal and acid free conditions using tert -butyl nitrite

Synthesis of various N-nitroso compounds from secondary amines is reported using tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) under solvent free conditions. Broad substrate scope, metal and acid free conditions, easy isolation procedure and excellent yields are few important features of this methodology. The acid labile protecting groups such as tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) and tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) as well as sensitive functional groups such as phenols, olefins and alkynes are found to be stable under the standard reaction conditions. Besides N-nitrosation, TBN is also found to be an efficient reagent in few other transformations including aryl hydrazines to aryl azides and primary amides to carboxylic acids under mild conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed ortho-acylation of N-Nitrosoanilines with α-oxocarboxylic acids: A convenient method to synthesize N-Nitroso ketones and indazoles

An efficient and mild protocol for regioselective synthesis of N-Nitroso aryl ketones by palladium-catalyzed direct acylation of arenes using N-Nitroso as directing groups is described. This reaction proceeded smoothly and could tolerate a variety of functional groups. Moreover, this chemistry offers a convenient access to a range of indazoles.

Rhodium(III)-catalyzed N-nitroso-directed C-H addition to ethyl 2-oxoacetate for cycloaddition/fragmentation synthesis of indazoles

RhIII-catalyzed N-nitroso-directed C-H addition to ethyl 2-oxoacetate allows subsequent construction of indazoles, a privileged heterocycle scaffold in synthetic chemistry, through the exploitation of reactivity between the directing group and installed group. The formal [2+2] cycloaddition/fragmentation reaction pathway identified herein, a unique reactivity pattern hitherto elusive for the N-nitroso group, emphasizes the importance of forward reactivity analysis in the development of useful C-H functionalization-based synthetic tools. The synthetic utility of the protocol is demonstrated with the synthesis of a tri-cyclic-fused ring system. The diversity of covalent linkages available for the nitroso group should enable the extension of the genre of reactivity reported herein to the synthesis of other types of heterocycles.
