Continuous Platform to Generate Nitroalkanes On-Demand (in Situ) Using Peracetic Acid-Mediated Oxidation in a PFA Pipes-in-Series Reactor

The synthetic utility of the aza-Henry reaction can be diminished on scale by potential hazards associated with the use of peracid to prepare nitroalkane substrates and the nitroalkanes themselves. In response, a continuous and scalable chemistry platform to prepare aliphatic nitroalkanes on-demand using the oxidation of oximes with peracetic acid and direct reaction of the nitroalkane intermediate in an aza-Henry reaction is reported. A uniquely designed pipes-in-series plug-flow tube reactor addresses a range of process challenges, including stability and safe handling of peroxides and nitroalkanes. The subsequent continuous extraction generates a solution of purified nitroalkane, which can be directly used in the following enantioselective aza-Henry chemistry to furnish valuable chiral diamine precursors with high selectivity, thus completely avoiding isolation of the potentially unsafe low-molecular-weight nitroalkane intermediate. A continuous campaign (16 h) established that these conditions were effective in processing 100 g of the oxime and furnishing 1.4 L of nitroalkane solution.

Furthermore, the green synthesis method for preparing nitroalkanes by the oxime oxidation disclosed by the invention is a green synthesis method of nitroalkanes, and suitable for large-scale industrialized production.

Catalytic Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Norbornenoquinones via C(sp2)-H Alkylation

The enantioselective Diels-Alder (DA) reaction with monosubstituted p-benzoquinones is an unmet challenge. A new approach for the enantioselective synthesis of monosubstituted quinone-DA adducts is presented based on C(sp2)-H alkylative desymmetrization of meso-DA adducts. Catalyzed by a tertiary amino-thiourea derivative, this reaction utilizes nitroalkanes as the alkylating agents and generates densely functionalized products bearing at least four contiguous stereogenic centers remote from the reaction site with excellent enantioselectivities.

Synthesis of functionalized nitroalkanes by oxidation of oximes with urea-hydrogen peroxide complex and trifluoroacetic anhydride

Reaction of urea-hydrogen peroxide complex with trifluoroacetic anhydride in acetonitrile at 0°C affords in a safe and easy fashion anhydrous solutions of peroxytrifluoroacetic acid. These can be used to oxidize aldoximes to nitroalkanes in good yields. Ketoximes fail to react in these conditions and are cleaved to the parent carbonyl compounds.
