Usage

Uses

Used in Performance Enhancement:
2,2-Dimethyl-N-(3-methylphenyl)propanamide is used as a performance-enhancing drug for its stimulant effects on the central nervous system, which can temporarily increase energy, focus, and physical performance. However, its use is controversial due to the associated health risks.
Used in Dietary Supplements (with caution):
2,2-Dimethyl-N-(3-methylphenyl)propanamide was historically used as an ingredient in dietary supplements, purportedly to boost metabolism and weight loss. However, due to safety concerns and regulatory actions, its inclusion in such products has been significantly curtailed.
Used in Research and Development:
In the scientific community, DMAA may still be utilized in research settings to study the effects of stimulants on the human body, potentially leading to the development of safer alternatives or a better understanding of its mechanisms of action.

Equivalent Loading of Directed Arenes in Pd(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Aryl C-H Bonds at Room Temperature

The unsymmetrical biaryls (Ar1-Ar2) produced by the catalytic cross-couplings of aryl halides (Ar1-halo) with aryl metallics (Ar2-M) in the loading ratio of 1:1 are popular in chemical synthesis. In contrast, there has been less precedence on the same biaryls produced effectively from two normal aryl C-H bonds with equivalent loading. Here, we report that, in a palladium/oxidant/acid catalytic system at room temperature, one arene (Ar1-H, 1 equiv) can highly selectively couple with the other one (Ar2-H, 1 equiv) to afford the target Ar1-Ar2 just by controlling the directing groups and the substituted groups on their phenyl rings. The utility of this one-one cross-coupling is also demonstrated by synthesis of a few bioactive molecules.

Ligand Promoted Olefination of Anilides for Indirectly Introducing Fluorinated Functional Groups via Palladium Catalyst

We report a palladium-catalyzed, ligand promoted, C-H fluorine-containing olefination of anilides with 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobutene as the fluorinated reagent, which has a potential transformation into other compounds due to its -CF2CF2Br functional group. -CF2CF2H was obtained by using the mild reducing agent sodium borohydride. Bioactive compounds such as aminoglutethimide derivative and propham were well-tolerated in this reaction, both of which highlight the synthetic importance of this method.

Para -Selective copper-catalyzed C(sp2)-H amidation/dimerization of anilides via a radical pathway

Copper-catalyzed amidation/dimerization of anilides via regioselective C(sp2)-H functionalization is achieved. The para-selective amidation is accomplished on the anilide aromatic ring via a radical pathway leading to C-N bond formation in the presence of ammonium persulfate as a radical source/oxidant for the copper catalyst. The developed protocol tolerates a wide range of anilide substrates. The regioselectivity is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray studies.

General rhodium-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reactions between anilines: Synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,2′-diaminobiaryls

Described herein is a dual chelation-assisted RhCl3-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling reaction of aniline derivatives. The highlight of this methodology is the chemo- and regioselective cross-coupling between electronically similar substrates, which represents a highly challenging task in oxidative Ar-H/Ar-H cross-coupling reactions. Furthermore, this Cp?-free catalytic reaction tolerates a range of functional groups and requires only a low molar ratio of coupling partners. These features expedite the synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,2′-diaminobiaryls.

Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Homo- and Cross-Coupling of Aryl ortho -sp2 C-H Bonds of Anilides at Room Temperature

The preparation of secondary 2,2'-bisanilides has been successfully achieved through an oxidative coupling of aryl ortho-sp2 C-H bonds of anilides in the presence of catalytic Pd(OAc)2 and K2S2O8 as an oxidant in MsOH/CF3CO2H (TFA) at room temperature (25 °C). The aromatic rings of anilides substituted by various electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups are tolerant in these coupling reactions.

Sulfonium Salts as Alkylating Agents for Palladium-Catalyzed Direct Ortho Alkylation of Anilides and Aromatic Ureas

A novel method for the ortho alkylation of acetanilide and aromatic urea derivatives via C-H activation was developed. Alkyl dibenzothiophenium salts are considered to be new reagents for the palladium-catalyzed C-H activation reaction, which enables the transfer of methyl and other alkyl groups from the sulfonium salt to the aniline derivatives under mild catalytic conditions.

Oxidative C?H/C?H Cross-Coupling Reactions between N-Acylanilines and Benzamides Enabled by a Cp*-Free RhCl3/TFA Catalytic System

By making use of a dual-chelation-assisted strategy, a completely regiocontrolled oxidative C?H/C?H cross-coupling reaction between an N-acylaniline and a benzamide has been accomplished for the first time. This process constitutes a step-economic and highly efficient pathway to 2-amino-2′-carboxybiaryl scaffolds from readily available substrates. A Cp*-free RhCl3/TFA catalytic system was developed to replace the [Cp*RhCl2]2/AgSbF6 system generally used in oxidative C?H/C?H cross-coupling reactions between two (hetero)arenes (Cp=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The RhCl3/TFA system avoids the use of the expensive Cp* ligand and AgSbF6. As an illustrative example, the procedure developed herein greatly streamlines the total synthesis of the naturally occurring benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid oxynitidine, which was accomplished in excellent overall yield.

Rhodium(III)-catalysed, redox-neutral C(sp2)-H alkenylation using pivalimide as a directing group with internal alkynes

In the presence of [RhCp?Cl2]2, N-pivaloyl anilines react with internal alkynes to give the corresponding 2-alkenylpivalimides under redox neutral conditions through C-H activation. This redox neutral hydroarylation, which does not require an external organic acid, unlocks a regioselective synthetic route to 2-alkenyl anilines and is generally applicable to diversely substituted electron rich and electron poor pivalimides.

Visible-Light-Promoted C-H Arylation by Merging Palladium Catalysis with Organic Photoredox Catalysis

The use of a dual palladium/organic photoredox catalytic system enables the directed arylation of arenes with aryldiazonium salts with a broad substrate scope at room temperature under mild reaction conditions. This study thus serves as not only an alternative route for the biaryl motifs but also a new example for the application of an organic photoredox catalyst.

A unified strategy for silver-, base-, and oxidant-free direct arylation of C-H bonds

Here, we report a dual catalytic approach for room temperature direct arylation of C-H bonds with aryldiazonium salts as a simple aryl group donor, also working as an internal oxidant via C-N2 bond cleavage. This unified strategy has been achieved by the synergistic combination of visible-light metal-free photoredox and palladium catalysis under silver-, base- and/or additive-free conditions. The broad substrate scope, functional group tolerance, excellent regioselectivity and redox-neutral conditions of this process make it attractive for the effective synthesis of a wide range of important N-heterocyclic commodities such as dibenzo[b,d]azepine, carbazole and phenanthridine.
