Palladium-Catalyzed Three-Component Regioselective Dehydrogenative Coupling of Indoles, 2-Methylbut-2-ene, and Carboxylic Acids

Five-carbon (C5) structural units are the fundamental building blocks of many natural products. An unprecedented palladium-catalyzed three-component dehydrogenative cascade coupling of indoles, 2-methylbut-2-ene, and carboxylic acids has been developed. The approach enables the straightforward introduction of a C3′-bonded five-carbon structural unit with a tertiary alcohol quaternary carbon center into indoles. The protocol employs 2-methylbut-2-ene as the C5 source and is featured by a broad substrate scope, atom and step economies, and high chemo- and regioselectivies.

Preparation method of N-arylindole under copper catalysis

The invention provides a preparation method of N-arylindole under copper catalysis. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, selecting a proper amount of a reaction reagent, a catalyst, a solvent and the like; S2, sequentially adding the

Palladium-catalyzed c(sp2)-n bond cross-coupling with triaryl phosphates

The first general palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl phosphates is described. The combination of MorDalPhos with [Pd(-cinnamyl)Cl]2 enables the amination of electron-rich, electron-neutral, and electron-poor aryl phosphates with a board range of aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic amines. Common functional groups such as ether, keto, ester, and nitrile show an excellent compatibility in this reaction condition. The solvent-free amination reactions are also successful in both solid coupling partners. The gram-scale cross-coupling is achieved by this catalytic system.

Palladium-Catalyzed C(sp2)-N Bond Cross-Coupling with Triaryl Phosphates

The first general palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl phosphates is described. The combination of MorDalPhos with [Pd(?-cinnamyl)Cl]2 enables the amination of electron-rich, electron-neutral, and electron-poor aryl phosphates with a board range of aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic amines. Common functional groups such as ether, keto, ester, and nitrile show an excellent compatibility in this reaction condition.

Tryptamine Synthesis by Iron Porphyrin Catalyzed C?H Functionalization of Indoles with Diazoacetonitrile

The functionalization of C?H bonds with non-precious metal catalysts is an important research area for the development of efficient and sustainable processes. Herein, we describe the development of iron porphyrin catalyzed reactions of diazoacetonitrile with N-heterocycles yielding important precursors of tryptamines, along with experimental mechanistic studies and proof-of-concept studies of an enzymatic process with YfeX enzyme. By using readily available FeTPPCl, we achieved the highly efficient C?H functionalization of indole and indazole heterocycles. These transformations feature mild reaction conditions, excellent yields with broad functional group tolerance, can be conducted on gram scale, and thus provide a unique streamlined access to tryptamines.

A waste-minimized protocol for copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type reaction in a biomass derived furfuryl alcohol/water azeotrope

We report the use of biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol as an effective bidentate ligand able to promote the Ullmann-type copper-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides with heteroaromatic or aliphatic amines. Furfuryl alcohol (FA) can be mixed with water to form the corresponding azeotrope (20 wt% of FA) and therefore can be easily recovered and reused. This protocol is efficiently applied to substrates with various electronic nature and affords the expected products (27 examples) in generally good to excellent yields. It has also been demonstrated that the protocol is both chemically and environmentally effective as the azeotropic mixture can be easily and almost quantitatively recovered at the end of the process.

A General Palladium–Phosphine Complex To Explore Aryl Tosylates in the N-Arylation of Amines: Scope and Limitations

The scope and limitations of the monoselective N-arylation of various amines by using aryl and hetaryl tosylates are presented. The air-stable and easily accessible Pd(OAc)2/CM-phos {CM-phos=2-[2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)phenyl]-1-methyl-1H-indole}catalyst system was able to deal with a wide range of aryl tosylate substrates as well as amine nucleophiles, including primary and secondary cyclic/acyclic aliphatic amines and anilines. NH-Bearing heterocycles such as indole, carbazole, pyrrole, 10-phenothiazine, and 10-phenoxazine were shown to be feasible coupling partners under this catalytic system. The described reaction conditions tolerate a wide range of functional groups and allow an array of aromatic amines as well as unsymmetrical amine products to be easily accessed from the various phenolic derivatives. Interestingly, this catalyst system even offers the opportunity to perform the reaction in water medium. We also report the intermolecular coupling of optically active α-central chiral amines with aryl tosylates without erosion of the enantiomeric purity.

Copper-catalysed N-arylation of pyrrole with aryl iodides under ligand-free conditions

A simple, inexpensive and ligand-free copper-catalysed N-arylation of pyrrole with aryl iodides has been developed giving N-arylated products in moderate to excellent yields. The catalyst loading is relative low (5 mol%) and the catalyst system was stable in air.

An efficient, mild, and selective Ullmann-type N-arylation of indoles catalyzed by copper(I) complex

Iron complex-catalyzed N-arylation of pyrazoles under aqueous medium

Commercially available FeCl3·6H2O with conformationally rigid diamine ligand is a highly effective catalyst for N-arylation of pyrazoles using aryl and heteroaryl iodides. It is notable to show that this complex is tolerable under aqueous medium and particularly the whole reaction utilizes water as the sole solvent without any additional organic co-solvents and surfactants. Attempted study using other nitrogen nucleophiles is described. This newly developed system provides an alternative protocol to Cu- and Pd-catalyzed N-arylation reactions.
