Ligand-free copper-catalyzed coupling of phenols with nitroarenes by using a metal-organic framework as a robust and recoverable catalyst

A highly porous metal-organic framework Cu2(BDC)2(DABCO) (H2BDC=1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) was synthesized and used as an efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the coupling reaction of phenols with nitroarenes to form diaryl ethers without using a ligand. Physical characterization of the MOF was obtained by using XRD, SEM, TEM, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FTIR spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and N2 physisorption measurements. The Cu2(BDC)2(DABCO)-catalyzed coupling reaction offers several advantages compared to the conventional Ullmann reaction for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl ethers. To the best of our knowledge, the ligand-free Cu-catalyzed O-arylation reaction of phenols with nitroarenes that uses a heterogeneous catalyst has not been mentioned previously in the literature.
Reductively activated "Polar" nucleophilic aromatic substitution. II. The reaction of p-dinitrobenzene and p-nitrobenzonitrile with charged and neutral nucleophiles

Electrochemical studies indicate that although the reactions of p-dinitrobenzene and p-nitrobenzonitrile with phenolate or phenol in DMF show radical features, they can not be attributed to the direct reaction of the nucleophile on the substrate radical anion. Reductive activation is feasible in certain cases (reaction of p-dinitrobenzene with phenol). However, substrate radical anion formation is not responsible for it.
Palladium-catalyzed formation of diaryl ethers from aryl bromides. Electron poor phosphines enhance reaction yields
Mann, Grace,Hartwig, John F.
, p. 8005 - 8008 (1997)
Aryl bromides were converted to diaryl ethers with sodium aryl oxides in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(DBA)2 and DPPF. Isolated yields of over 90% were achieved in reactions with electron deficient aryl bromides and electron rich sodium aryl oxides. Electron poor DPPF derivatives led to increased reaction yields.

Notwithstanding some progress in nickel-catalyzed etherification of alkanols and arylhalides, the ability of such a Ni-catalyzed transformation employing phenols to diaryl ethers is unsuccessful due to phenolates with much lower reduction potentials, which suppress the oxidation of nickel(II) intermediates into requisite Ni(III) species. We herein report visible-light-initiated, nickel-catalyzed O-arylation of phenols with arylhalides using t-BuNH(i-Pr) as the base and thioxanthen-9-one as the photosensitizer under visible light. This photocoupling exhibits a broad substrate scope.

A novel catalytic system based on L-proline N-oxide/CuI was developed and applied to the cross-coupling reactions of various N- and O- nucleophilic reagents with aryl iodides and bromides. This strategy featured in the employment of an-proline derived dihydrazides N-oxide compound as the superior supporting ligand. By using this protocol, a variety of products, including N-arylimidazoles, N-arylpyrazoles, N-arylpyrroles, N-arylamines, and aryl ethers, were synthesized with up to 99% yield.

The sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling pathway is an attractive target for pharmacological manipulation due to its involvement in cancer progression and immune cell chemotaxis. The synthesis of S1P is catalyzed by the action of sphingosine kinase 1 or 2 (SphK1 or SphK2) on sphingosine and ATP. While potent and selective inhibitors of SphK1 or SphK2 have been reported, development of potent dual SphK1/SphK2 inhibitors are still needed. Towards this end, we report the structure–activity relationship profiling of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-based inhibitors with 22d being the most potent dual SphK1/SphK2 inhibitor (SphK1 Ki = 0.679 μM, SphK2 Ki = 0.951 μM) reported in this series. 22d inhibited the growth of engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and decreased S1P levels in histiocytic lymphoma myeloid cell line (U937 cells), demonstrating inhibition of SphK1 and 2 in vitro. Molecular modeling studies of 22d docked inside the Sph binding pocket of both SphK1 and SphK2 indicate essential hydrogen bond between the 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine head to interact with aspartic acid and serine residues near the ATP binding pocket, which provide the basis for dual inhibition. In addition, the dodecyl tail adopts a “J-shape” conformation found in crystal structure of sphingosine bound to SphK1. Collectively, these studies provide insight into the intermolecular interactions in the SphK1 and 2 active sites to achieve maximal dual inhibitory activity.

We describe a new functional group metathesis between aryl nitriles and aryl thioethers. The catalytic system nickel/dcype is essential to achieve this fully reversible transformation in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the cyanide- and thiol-free reaction shows high functional group tolerance and great efficiency for the late-stage derivatization of commercial molecules. Finally, synthetic applications demonstrate its versatility and utility in multistep synthesis.

A highly efficient and selective oxidation of primary and tertiary amines employing SO2F2/H2O2/base system was described. Anilines were converted to the corresponding azoxybenzenes, while primary benzylamines were transformed into nitriles and secondary benzylamines were rearranged to amides. For tertiary amine substrates quinolines, isoquinolines and pyridines, their oxidation products were the corresponding N-oxides. The reaction conditions are very mild and just involve SO2F2, amines, 30% aqueous H2O2 solution, and inorganic base at room temperature. One unique advantage is that this oxidation system is just composed of inexpensive inorganic compounds without the use of any metal and organic compounds.

A nickel-catalyzed cyanation of aryl thioethers using Zn(CN)2 as a cyanide source has been developed to access functionalized aryl nitriles. The ligand dcype (1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) in combination with the base KOAc (potassium acetate) is essential for achieving this transformation efficiently. This reaction involves both a C-S bond activation and a C-C bond formation. The scalability, low catalyst and reagents loadings, and high functional group tolerance have enabled both late-stage derivatization and polymer recycling, demonstrating the reaction's utility across organic chemistry.
