The direct reductive amination of electron-deficient amines with aldehydes: The unique reactivity of the Re2O7 catalyst

An unprecedented direct reductive amination of electron-deficient amines such as Cbz-, Boc-, EtOCO-, Fmoc-, Bz-, ArSO2-, Ar2PO-, etc. protected amines with aldehydes is achieved using the Re2O 7 catalyst and silanes as the hydride source. Excellent regioselective mono-alkylation and chemoselective reductive-amination were observed.

Replacing conventional carbon nucleophiles with electrophiles: Nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation of aryl bromides and chlorides

A general method is presented for the synthesis of alkylated arenes by the chemoselective combination of two electrophilic carbons. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides are reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. Under similar conditions, activated aryl chlorides can also be coupled with bromoalkanes. The protocols are highly functional-group tolerant (-OH, -NHTs, -OAc, -OTs, -OTf, -COMe, -NHBoc, -NHCbz, -CN, -SO2Me), and the reactions are assembled on the benchtop with no special precautions to exclude air or moisture. The reaction displays different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Hiyama-Denmark reactions. Substrates bearing both an electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon result in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]) for organoboron (-Bpin), organotin (-SnMe3), and organosilicon (-SiMe2OH) containing organic halides (X-R-[M]). A Hammett study showed a linear correlation of σ and σ(-) parameters with the relative rate of reaction of substituted aryl bromides with bromoalkanes. The small ρ values for these correlations (1.2-1.7) indicate that oxidative addition of the bromoarene is not the turnover-frequency determining step. The rate of reaction has a positive dependence on the concentration of alkyl bromide and catalyst, no dependence upon the amount of zinc (reducing agent), and an inverse dependence upon aryl halide concentration. These results and studies with an organic reductant (TDAE) argue against the intermediacy of organozinc reagents.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of aryl halides with alkyl halides

(Chemical Equation Presented) The direct reductive cross-coupling of alkyl halides with aryl halides is described. The transformation is efficient (equimolar amounts of the starting materials are used), generally high-yielding (all but one between 55 and 88% yield), highly functional-group-tolerant [OH, NHBoc, NHCbz, Bpin, C(O)Me, CO2Et, and CN are all tolerated], and easy to perform (uses only benchtop-stable reagents, tolerates small amounts of water and oxygen, changes color when complete, and uses filtration workup). The reaction appears to avoid the formation of intermediate organomanganese species, and a synergistic effect was found when a mixture of two ligands was employed.

Amidation through carbamates

N-Alkyl carbamates of primary amines are easily converted into amides under treatment with Grignard reagents. Consequently, primary amines can be converted into amides in a one-pot reaction through carbamate protection and Grignard addition.

Iron-catalyzed four-component reaction for the synthesis of protected primary amines

The first catalytic four-component reaction (4CR) of carbonyl compounds with alkyl chloroformate, HMDS and Et3SiH has been developed to produce protected primary amines by a novel tandem nitrogen protection/direct reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. In the presence of 5 mol-% of an iron(II) salt, a wide variety of aldehydes and ketones were transformed into their corresponding protected primary amines in good to excellent yields under "pure" multicomponent reaction (MCR) conditions. This chemistry was further extended to masked carbonyl compounds such as acetals, ketals, and vinyl ethers. When compared with previous methods to prepare protected primary amines from a large excess of ammonia or ammonium salts, this 4CR not only saved at least one step of synthetic manipulation, but also utilized nearly stoichiometric nitrogen and hydrogen sources and avoided the formation of (protected) secondary amines. Additional advantages of this protocol include broader substrate scope, the use of an inexpensive and environmentally friendly catalyst, and mild reaction conditions. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) for mild and efficient reagent to remove hydroxyethyl units from 2-hydroxyethyl ethers and 2-hydroxyethyl amines

Cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) removed hydroxyethyl units from 2-hydroxyethyl ethers and 2-hydroxyethyl amines to produce alcohols and amines in good yields. Especially, removal of the 2-hydroxyethyl ethers from C2-symmetric diols, chiral 2,3-butanediol and chiral hydrobenzoin, was very useful for asymmetric syntheses using C2-symmetric diols. The reactions using dual abilities of CAN, i.e.,?the ability for removal of the 2-hydroxyethyl unit and the ability for acetal hydrolysis by a single electron transfer, were also achieved successfully. The reaction conditions were very mild and efficient, and many functional groups, which can be affected under normal conditions, were unaffected during the reaction.

Oxidative Mannich reaction of N-carbobenzyloxy amines with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

(Chemical Equation Presented) Efficient carbon-carbon bond formation at the α-position of nitrogen was established by one-pot oxidative Mannich reaction of N-carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) amines with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using N-tert-butylbenzenesulfinimidoyl chloride as an oxidant.

Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-Amino Alcohols by Use of an Isocyanide as an Aminomethylene Equivalent

Preparation of an isocyanide having removable N-substituent and its application to the stereoselective synthesis of 2-amino alcohols are described. 4-(tert-Butyldimethylsiloxy)-2,6-xylyl isocyanide was prepared from commercially available 3,5-xylenol.The isocyanide underwent a samarium iodide-mediated coupling reaction with organic halides and carbonyl compounds.Reduction of the reaction mixture with NaBH4 selectively afforded anti 2-(arylamino) alcohols, which were then deprotected to the corresponding 2-(primary amino) alcohols via desilylation with TBAF followed by oxidation with DDQ.A ceramide was successfully synthesized by use of the present stereoselective synthetic method for 2-amino alcohols, demonstrating a new synthetic utility of the isocyanide as an aminomethylene equivalent.
