Direct Alkenylation of 2-Methylquinolines with Aldehydes through Synergistic Catalysis of 1,3-Dimethylbarbituric Acid and HOAc

An efficient and practical direct alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes has been achieved through a novel synergistic organocatalysis. The HOAc- activated 2-methylquiolines undergo a Michael addition to 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid-activated aldehydes, followed by a retro-Michael addition to release 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid and the target products. The transformation produced various 2-alkenylquinolines with good to excellent yields and featured mild reaction conditions, atom- and step-economy, good functional group tolerance, and operational simplicity.

Synthesis of (E)-2-Alkenylazaarenes via Dehydrogenative Coupling of (Hetero)aryl-fused 2-Alkylcyclic Amines and Aldehydes with a Cobalt Nanocatalyst

To date, the synthesis of (E)-2-alkenylazaarenes via the condensation of 2-methyl N-heteroarenes with aldehydes or their equivalents has been well demonstrated. However, the direct formation of such a class of useful compounds from extensively distributed 2-alkylcyclic amine motifs remains an unresolved goal. Herein, by employing the nitrogen-silica-doped carbon (Vulcan XC-72R) as the support, we have developed a low-loading cobalt nanocatalyst (Co/N-Si-C). The combination of such a catalyst with p-nitrobenzoic acid and molecular O2 exhibits excellent catalytic performance towards the dehydrogenative coupling of (hetero)aryl-fused 2-alkylcyclic amines with aldehydes to afford the (E)-2-alkenylazaarenes. In the reaction, effective capture of the partially dehydrogenated cyclic amine motifs appears to be the key strategy to address the issue of the chemoselectivity. The developed catalytic transformation proceeds with the merits of broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, high atom-efficiency, use of an earth-abundant and reusable cobalt catalyst and molecular O2 as a green oxidant, which offers an important basis for the direct conversion of inert cyclic amine units into the functional frameworks.

Cobalt-catalyzed direct alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes via C(sp3)-H functionalization in water

The direct C(sp3)-H alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes as a simple methodology to afford 2-alkenylated quinolines is reported. In the presence of catalytic CoCl2 in water, the economically and ecologically sound transformation is proposed to proceed via the direct benzylic addition to the aldehyde followed by an elimination step to provide 2-alkenylated quinolines in good to excellent yield of up to 95%.

Oxidative olefination of secondary amines with carbon nucleophiles

An unprecedented olefination reaction of secondary amines with carbon nucleophiles has been developed through C-N/C-H functionalization under metal-free oxidative conditions. In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), a range of secondary N-alkylanilines smoothly underwent oxidative olefination with 2-alkylazaarenes, acetophenone, and malononitrile to give structurally diverse polysubstituted alkenes in moderate to excellent yields with excellent (E) selectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the oxidative olefination reaction proceeds through amine oxidation followed by imine olefination. A range of secondary N-alkylanilines smoothly underwent DDQ-promoted oxidative olefination with 2-alkylazaarenes, acetophenone, and malononitrile to give structurally diverse alkenes in moderate to excellent yields with excellent (E) selectivity. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds through amine oxidation followed by imine olefination (DDQ = 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone). Copyright
