Ni-Catalyzed Carboxylation of Aziridines en Route to β-Amino Acids

A Ni-catalyzed reductive carboxylation of N-substituted aziridines with CO2 at atmospheric pressure is disclosed. The protocol is characterized by its mild conditions, experimental ease, and exquisite chemo- and regioselectivity pattern, thus unlocking a new catalytic blueprint to access β-amino acids, important building blocks with considerable potential as peptidomimetics.

Synthesis of β-Phenethylamines via Ni/Photoredox Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aliphatic Aziridines and Aryl Iodides

A photoassisted Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between tosyl-protected alkyl aziridines and commercially available (hetero)aryl iodides is reported. This mild and modular method proceeds in the absence of stoichiometric heterogeneous reductants and uses an inexpensive organic photocatalyst to access medicinally valuable β-phenethylamine derivatives. Unprecedented reactivity was achieved with the activation of cyclic aziridines. Mechanistic studies suggest that the regioselectivity and reactivity observed under these conditions are a result of nucleophilic iodide ring opening of the aziridine to generate an iodoamine as the active electrophile. This strategy also enables cross-coupling with Boc-protected aziridines.

Carbon Isotope Labeling Strategy for β-Amino Acid Derivatives via Carbonylation of Azanickellacycles

A series of 4-membered azametallacycles have been prepared by the oxidative addition of Ni(0) with aziridines. Stoichiometric 13C-labeled carbon monoxide could be efficiently incorporated via Ni-C bond insertion to generate air stable and isola

Dual Gold-Catalyzed Formal Tetradehydro-Diels–Alder Reactions for the Synthesis of Carbazoles and Indolines

This work reports a dual gold-catalyzed tetradehydro-Diels–Alder reaction for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocycles. Under the catalytic system (IPrAuNTf2/DIPEA), indolines and carbazoles as well as other N-containing aromatic heterocycles were prepared in high yields with good functional group tolerance. Unlike the traditional thermal tetradehydro-Diels–Alder reactions, diluted reaction concentration and radical prohibitors are not required for this protocol. Experimental data support a mechanism involving gold vinylidene species, which undergoes a 6 π electrocyclization, followed with 1,2-hydrogen shift.

Synthesis of indolines: Via a palladium/norbornene-catalyzed reaction of aziridines with aryl iodides

A Pd- and norbornene-catalyzed domino procedure has been developed to synthesize indoline compounds. This reaction provides efficient access to indolines by employing aryl iodides with aziridines as new electrophiles. The transformation is scalable and tolerates a range of functional groups.

Achieving regio- and stereo-control in the fluorination of aziridines under acidic conditions

We developed an efficient fluorination protocol that converts easily accessible aziridines into β-fluoroamines, which are important motifs in biologically active molecules. In contrast with traditional fluorination approaches, DMPU-HF has shown both highe

Generation and Ring Opening of Aziridines in Telescoped Continuous Flow Processes

A simple method for the preparation of a variety of N-sulfonyl aziridines (10 examples) from 1,2-amino alcohols under continuous flow conditions is described. Using flow based methods, the aziridines can be further ring opened with oxygen, carbon, and hal

Catalytic hydroamination of unactivated olefins using a Co catalyst for complex molecule synthesis

Functional group tolerance is one of the important requirements for chemical reactions, especially for the synthesis of complex molecules. Herein, we report a mild, general, and functional group tolerant intramolecular hydroamination of unactivated olefins using a Co(salen) complex, an N-fluoropyridinium salt, and a disiloxane reagent. This method, which was carried out at room temperature (or 0 °C), afforded three-, five-, six-, and seven-membered ring nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and was compatible with diverse functional groups.

Highly regioselective nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of N -tosylaziridines and alkylzinc reagents

Herein, we report the first ligand-controlled, nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of aliphatic N-tosylaziridines with aliphatic organozinc reagents. The reaction protocol displays complete regioselectivity for reaction at the less hindered C-N bond, and the products are furnished in good to excellent yield for a broad selection of substrates. Moreover, we have developed an air-stable nickel(II) chloride/ligand precatalyst that can be handled and stored outside a glovebox. In addition to increasing the activity of this catalyst system, this also greatly improves the practicality of this reaction, as the use of the very air-sensitive Ni(cod)2 is avoided. Finally, mechanistic investigations, including deuterium-labeling studies, show that the reaction proceeds with overall inversion of configuration at the terminal position of the aziridine by way of aziridine ring opening by Ni (inversion), transmetalation (retention), and reductive elimination (retention).

Broad scope hydrofunctionalization of styrene derivatives using iron-catalyzed hydromagnesiation

The highly regioselective iron-catalyzed formal hydrofunctionalization of styrene derivatives with a diverse range of electrophiles has been developed using a single, operationally simple hydromagnesiation procedure and only commercially available, bench-stable reagents. Using just 0.5 mol % FeCl2·4H2O and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, hydromagnesiation and electrophilic trapping have been used to form new carbon-carbon bonds (13 examples) and carbon-heteroatom bonds (5 examples) including the products of formal cross-coupling reactions, hydroboration, hydroamination, hydrosilylation, and hydrofluorination.
