One-Pot Reaction between N-Tosylhydrazones and 2-Nitrobenzyl Bromide: Route to NH-Free C2-Arylindoles

A one-pot Barluenga coupling between N-tosylhydrazones and nitro-benzyl bromide, followed by deoxygenation of ortho-nitrostyrenes, and subsequent cyclization has been developed, providing a new way to synthesize various C2-arylindoles. This method exhibits a good substrate scope and functional group tolerance, and it allows an access to NH-free indoles, which can present a potential utility in medicinal chemistry applications.

Rhodium-Catalyzed B-H Bond Insertion Reactions of Unstabilized Diazo Compounds Generated in Situ from Tosylhydrazones

Although transition-metal-catalyzed B-H bond insertion of carbenes into stable borane adducts has emerged as a promising method for organoborane synthesis, all the diazo compounds used to date as carbene precursors have had an electron-withdrawing group to stabilize them. Herein, we report a protocol for rhodium-catalyzed B-H bond insertion reactions of unstabilized diazo compounds generated in situ from tosylhydrazones. In addition, by using chiral dirhodium catalysts, we also achieved an asymmetric version of the reaction with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98:2 e.r.). This is the first enantioselective heteroatom-hydrogen bond insertion reaction to use unstabilized diazo compounds as carbene precursors. The protocol exhibited good functional group tolerance and could be carried out on a gram scale. It also enabled one-pot transformation of a carbonyl group to a boryl group enantioselectively. The B-H bond insertion products could be easily transformed into chiral alcohols and other widely used organoboron reagents with enantiomeric fidelity.

Synthesis of Di- and Triarylmethanes through Palladium-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of N -Tosylhydrazones and Aryl Bromides

A palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling between N-tosylhydrazones and aryl bromides has been developed. The reaction provides an efficient method for the synthesis of diarylmethanes and triarylmethanes via the formation of C(sp2)-C(sp3) single bonds. This new methodology for the synthesis of diarylmethanes and triarylmethanes is featured by the ready availability of the starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and the tolerance of wide range of functional groups. The reaction follows a pathway including palladium carbene formation, migratory insertion, and reduction of the alkylpalladium(II) intermediate.

Copper(I)-Catalyzed Alkylation of Polyfluoroarenes through Direct C - H Bond Functionalization

The copper(I)-catalyzed alkylation of electron-deficient polyfluoroarenes with N-tosylhydrazones and diazo compounds has been developed. This reaction uses readily available starting materials and is operationally simple, thus representing a practical method for the construction of C(sp2) - C(sp3) bonds with polyfluoroarenes through direct C - H bond functionalization. Mechanistically, copper(I) carbene formation and subsequent migratory insertion are proposed as the key steps in the reaction pathway.

Synthesis of terminal allenes through copper-mediated cross-coupling of ethyne with N-tosylhydrazones or α-diazoesters

Ethyne is employed as coupling partner in coppermediated cross-coupling reactions with N-tosylhydrazones and α-diazoacetate, leading to the development of a new synthetic method for terminal allenes. With this novel coupling method, the terminal allenes w

Palladium-catalyzed diarylmethyl C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond formation: A new coupling approach toward triarylmethanes

Palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions between N-tosylhydrazones and aryl halides lead to the formation of C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds. This approach provides a general route for the synthesis of triarylmethanes.

N-Tosylhydrazine-mediated deoxygenative hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by Pd/C

A mild and efficient method for the deoxygenative hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones has been developed. The reaction is mediated by N-tosylhydrazine with H2 (1 atm) as the reductant and 10% Pd/C as the catalyst.

Synthesis of allyl allenes through three-component cross-coupling reaction of N-tosylhydrazones, terminal alkynes, and allyl halides

Three's a crowd: Tri- and tetrasubstituted allyl allenes can be easily accessed by this CuI-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of N-tosylhydrazones, terminal alkynes, and allyl halides. The reaction proceeds through a mechanism involving copper carbene migratory insertion.

Copper acetoacetonate [Cu(acac)2]/BINAP-promoted Csp 3-N bond formation via reductive coupling of N-tosylhydrazones with anilines

We report the the copper(II) acetoacetonate [Cu(acac)2]/BINAP- catalyzed synthesis of arylamines from N-tosylhydrazones and anilines. A fine tuning of the reaction conditions was required to accomplish the cross-coupling successfully, including the ligands effect and the addition of small amounts of water. The characteristic feature of this protocol is its functional group compatibility and its chemoselectivity when various aminophenol derivatives were used. Taking into consideration the interest for this copper-reductive coupling in which no stoichiometric metal hydride reagent is employed, this can be considered as an alternative to the conventional reductive amination.

Copper-catalyzed direct benzylation or allylation of 1,3-azoles with N -tosylhydrazones

Cu-Catalyzed cross-coupling of N-tosylhydrazones with 1,3-azoles leads to the direct C-H benzylation or allylation. Cu carbene migratory insertion is proposed to play the key role in this transformation.
