I2/NaH2PO2-mediated deoxyamination of cyclic ethers for the synthesis of: N -aryl-substituted azacycles

We have developed a protocol for efficient synthesis of N-aryl-substituted azacycles from aryl amines and cyclic ethers using I2/NaH2PO2 as the mediator. A diverse range of aryl amines and cyclic ethers undergo amination reaction to generate products in good to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. This reaction can be easily scaled up to give N-aryl-substituted azacycles on a gram scale. Further chemical manipulation of the products enabled useful transformations of the quinoline ring, including bromination and acetylation. This journal is

Photoinduced Deaminative Borylation of Unreactive Aromatic Amines Enhanced by CO2

Herein, direct unreactive C-N borylation of aromatic amines by a photocatalyst was achieved. The C-N borylation of aromatic amines with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) proceeded using a pyrene catalyst under light irradiation to afford desired borylated products and aminoborane as a byproduct. The yield of the borylated product improved under a CO2 atmosphere which probably reduced the inhibitory effect of aminoborane. Mechanistic studies suggested that the C-N bond cleavage and C-B bond formation proceeded via a concerted pathway.

Redox-Neutral β-C(sp3)-H Functionalization of Cyclic Amines via Intermolecular Hydride Transfer

Herein, we report the first redox-neutral and transition-metal-free β-C(sp3)-H functionalization of cyclic amines via a consecutive intermolecular hydride transfer process. A series of N-aryl pyrrolidines and N-aryl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines decorated with CF3 and carboxylic ester functionalities are directly accessed in good yields from pyrrolidines and piperidines. This work pushes forward the application of the intermolecular hydride transfer strategy in one-step assembly of molecular complexity.

Pyridazine N-Oxides as Precursors to 2-Aminofurans: Scope and Limitations in Complexity Building Cascade Reactions

A method to transform pyridazine N-oxides into 2-aminofurans using a combination of UV light and transition metal catalysis has been developed. These electron-rich species exhibit a surprising range of useful reactivity, including the ability to participate in complexity building cascade processes when reacted with dienophiles. This study also establishes 2-aminofurans as valuable synthons that support modular synthetic entry to the shared heterocyclic core of certain aspidosperma and amaryllidaceae alkaloids.

Nickel-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl 2-Pyridyl Ethers via Cleavage of the Carbon-Oxygen Bond

Reaction of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers with amines was carried out via Ni-catalyzed C-OPy bond cleavage, giving aniline derivatives in reasonable to excellent yields. Both electron-rich and electron-poor aryl 2-pyridyl ethers and a wide range of amines can be used in the transformation. The method provides a conversion way for the 2-pyridyloxy directing group in the C-H bond functionalization reactions.

Facile access to: N -substituted anilines via dehydrogenative aromatization catalysis over supported gold-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles

N-Substituted anilines are widely utilized important compounds, and the development of their diverse synthetic procedures is of great significance. Herein, we have successfully developed a widely applicable powerful catalytic route to N-substituted anilines. In the presence of a gold-palladium alloy nanoparticle catalyst (Au-Pd/Al2O3) and styrene, various kinds of structurally diverse N-substituted anilines (twenty three examples) could be synthesized starting from cyclohexanones and amines (including aliphatic primary and secondary amines and anilines). The catalytic performance was strongly influenced by the nature of the catalyst. A supported gold catalyst (Au/Al2O3) was completely inactive for the present transformation. Although a supported palladium catalyst (Pd/Al2O3) gave the desired N-substituted anilines to some extent, the performance was inferior to that of Au-Pd/Al2O3. The catalytic activity of the palladium species in Au-Pd/Al2O3 was at least ca. three times higher than that in Pd/Al2O3. Moreover, the performance of Au-Pd/Al2O3 was superior to that of a physical mixture of Au/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3. Thus, palladium was intrinsically effective for the present transformation (dehydrogenative aromatization) and its performance was improved by alloying with gold. The present transformation proceeds through a sequence of the dehydrative condensation of cyclohexanones and amines to produce enamines (or ketimines), followed by the dehydrogenative aromatization to produce the corresponding N-substituted anilines. In the aromatization step, styrene could act as an effective hydrogen acceptor to selectively produce the desired N-substituted anilines without catalyzing the disproportionation of the enamine intermediates. The observed catalysis using Au-Pd/Al2O3 was truly heterogeneous in nature, and Au-Pd/Al2O3 could be reused.

Selective and catalytic arylation of N-phenylpyrrolidine: sp3 C-H bond functionalization in the absence of a directing group

We herein describe our studies on arylation of N-phenylpyrrolidine, which led to the development of a new transformation for the direct and selective arylation of sp3 C-H bonds in the absence of a directing group. In this method, Ru(H)2(CO)(PCy3)3 4 was used as the catalyst, and preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that Ru(Ph)(I)(CO)(PCy3)2 5 is the key intermediate of the catalytic cycle. A large kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD = 5.4) was observed, which supports the proposal that C-H bond metalation is the slow step. Preliminary examination of the substrate scope showed that in addition to N-phenylpyrrolidine, N-methyl- and N-benzylpyrrolidine, as well as N-benzoylpyrrolidine, were arylated under the reaction conditions.
