Visible-Light-Mediated Oxidative Cyclization of 2-Aminobenzyl Alcohols and Secondary Alcohols Enabled by an Organic Photocatalyst

This paper describes a visible-light-mediated oxidative cyclization of 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and secondary alcohols to produce quinolines at room temperature. This photocatalytic method employed anthraquinone as an organic small-molecule catalyst and DMSO as an oxidant. According to this present procedure, a series of quinolines were prepared in satisfactory yields.

Bioinspired Radical-Mediated Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of N-Heterocycles under Visible Light

A redox-active iminoquinone motif connected with π-delocalized pyrene core has been reported that can perform efficient two-electron oxidation of a class of substrates. The design of the molecule was inspired by the organic redox cofactor topaquinone (TPQ), which executes amine oxidation in the enzyme, copper amine oxidase. Easy oxidation of both primary and secondary alcohols happened in the presence of catalytic KOtBu, which could reduce the ligand backbone to its iminosemiquinonate form under photoinduced conditions. Moreover, this easy oxidation of alcohols under aerobic condition could be elegantly extended to multi-component, one-pot coupling for the synthesis of quinoline and pyrimidine. This organocatalytic approach is very mild (70 °C, 8 h) compared to a multitude of transition-metal catalysts that have been used to prepare these heterocycles. A detailed mechanistic study proves the intermediacy of the iminosemiquinonate-type radical and a critical hydrogen atom transfer step to be involved in the dehydrogenation reaction.

Designed pincer ligand supported Co(ii)-based catalysts for dehydrogenative activation of alcohols: Studies onN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines

Base-metal catalystsCo1,Co2andCo3were synthesized from designed pincer ligandsL1,L2andL3having NNN donor atoms respectively.Co1,Co2andCo3were characterized by IR, UV-Vis. and ESI-MS spectroscopic studies. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were investigated to authenticate the molecular structures ofCo1andCo3. CatalystsCo1,Co2andCo3were utilized to study the dehydrogenative activation of alcohols forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines. Under optimized reaction conditions, a broad range of substrates including alcohols, anilines and ketones were exploited. A series of control experiments forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines were examined to understand the reaction pathway. ESI-MS spectral studies were investigated to characterize cobalt-alkoxide and cobalt-hydride intermediates. Reduction of styrene by evolved hydrogen gas during the reaction was investigated to authenticate the dehydrogenative nature of the catalysts. Probable reaction pathways were proposed forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines on the basis of control experiments and detection of reaction intermediates.

Ruthenium-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of o-aminobenzyl alcohols with ketones to quinolines in the presence of carbonate salt

A ruthenium complex bearing a functional 2,2′-bibenzimidazole ligand [(p-cymene)Ru(BiBzImH2)Cl][Cl] was designed, synthesized and found to be a general and highly efficient catalyst for the synthesis of quinolines via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of o-aminobenzyl alcohols with ketones in the presence of carbonate salt. It was confirmed that NH units in the ligand are crucial for catalytic activity. The application of this catalytic system for the scale-gram synthesis of biologically active molecular was also undertaken. Notably, this research exhibits new potential of metal–ligand bifuctional catalysts for acceptorless dehydrogenative reactions.

Porous FeO(OH) Dispersed on Mg-Al Hydrotalcite Surface for One-Pot Synthesis of Quinoline Derivatives

The use of ubiquities elements such as iron instead of expensive precious metals as catalysts is one goal toward realizing environmentally benign synthetic chemistry. Here, we report that porous FeO(OH) dispersed on Mg?Al hydrotalcite acts as a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst in the one-pot synthesis of 2-substituted quinoline derivatives through dehydrogenative oxidation-cyclization reactions. The catalyst was prepared by a simple grafting method using FeCl3 and Mg?Al hydrotalcite. The prepared porous FeO(OH) possesses a higher surface area than those previously reported for α-FeO(OH) particles. The one-pot quinoline synthesis proceeded effectively under non-noble-metal catalysis in air without requiring additional homogeneous bases or solvents.

Zinc Stabilized Azo-anion Radical in Dehydrogenative Synthesis of N-Heterocycles. An Exclusively Ligand Centered Redox Controlled Approach

Herein we report an exclusively ligand-centered redox controlled approach for the dehydrogenation of a variety of N-heterocycles using a Zn(II)-stabilized azo-anion radical complex as the catalyst. A simple, easy-to-prepare, and bench-stable Zn(II)-complex (1b) featuring the tridentate arylazo pincer, 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, in the presence of zinc-dust, undergoes reduction to form the azo-anion radical species [1b]- which efficiently dehydrogenates various saturated N-heterocycles such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-methylquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline, indoline, 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazole, 2,3-dihydro-2-phenylquinazolin-4(1H)-one, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-phenylquinazolines, among others, under air. The catalyst has further been found to be compatible with the cascade synthesis of these N-heterocycles via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with other suitable coupling partners under air. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the dehydrogenation reactions proceed via a one-electron hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathway where the zinc-stabilized azo-anion radical ligand abstracts the hydrogen atom from the organic substrate(s), and the whole catalytic cycle proceeds via the exclusive involvement of the ligand-centered redox events where the zinc acts only as the template.

Iron catalyzed metal-ligand cooperative approaches towards sustainable synthesis of quinolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones

Herein we report simple, efficient, and economically affordable metal-ligand cooperative strategies for synthesizing quinolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via dehydrogenative functionalization of alcohols. Various polysubstituted quinolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were prepared in good yields via dehydrogenative coupling of readily available alcohols with ketones and 2-aminobenzamides, respectively under air using a well-defined Fe(II)-catalyst, ([FeL1Cl2] (1)) bearing a redox-active azo-aromatic pincer 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) (L1). Control experiments and mechanistic investigation disclose that the one-electron reduced mono-anionic species [1]? bearing an iron-stabilized azo-anion radical ligand catalyzes these reactions. Both iron and the redox-active arylazo ligand participate synergistically during the different steps of these catalytic reactions.

Direct C-H Arylation and Alkylation of Electron-Deficient Heteroaromatic Compounds with Organozinc Reagents

A direct and convenient method for the C-H arylation and alkylation of electron-deficient N-heteroarenes with readily available organozinc reagents has been developed. This transformation could be readily performed in the absence of a transition-metal catalyst and external oxidants, affording a wide range of substituted heteroarenes with good functional group tolerance in good to excellent yields. The developed simple protocol is scalable to the gram level and suitable for late-stage modification of bioactive molecules and drugs.

NiH-Catalyzed Hydroamination/Cyclization Cascade: Rapid Access to Quinolines

Despite the significant success of metal-H-catalyzed hydroamination methodologies, considerable limitations still exist in the selective hydroamination of alkynes, especially for terminal alkynes. Herein, we develop a highly efficient NiH catalytic system that activates readily available alkynes for a cascade hydroamination/cyclization reaction with anthranils. This mild, operationally simple protocol is amenable to a wide array of alkynes including terminal and internal, aryl and alkyl, electron-deficient and electron-rich ones, delivering structurally diverse quinolines in useful to excellent yields (>80 examples, up to 93% yield). The utility of this procedure is exhibited in the late-stage functionalization of several natural products and in the concise synthesis of an antitumor molecule graveolinine and a triplex DNA intercalator. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest an alkenylnickel-mediated alkyne hydroamination and an intramolecular cyclization/aromatization of putative enamine intermediates.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Hydroquinolines with α,α-Disubstitution through Organocatalyzed Kinetic Resolution

The first kinetic resolution of hydroquinoline derivatives with α,α-disubstitution has been achieved through asymmetric remote aminations with azodicarboxylates enabled by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest a monomeric catalyst pathway proceeding through rate- and enantio-determining electrophilic attack promoted by a network of attractive non-covalent interactions between the substrate and catalyst. Facile subsequent removal and transformations of the newly introduced hydrazine moiety enable these protocols to serve as powerful tools for asymmetric synthesis of N-heterocycles with α,α-disubstitution.
