A novel method for the synthesis of 1-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines

Carbenium ions generated from substituted benzhydryls using acid catalysis undergo smooth intramolecular trapping by pendant sulfonamide groups to provide excellent yields of 1-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines.

Ni-Catalyzed Carboxylation of Aziridines en Route to β-Amino Acids

A Ni-catalyzed reductive carboxylation of N-substituted aziridines with CO2 at atmospheric pressure is disclosed. The protocol is characterized by its mild conditions, experimental ease, and exquisite chemo- and regioselectivity pattern, thus unlocking a new catalytic blueprint to access β-amino acids, important building blocks with considerable potential as peptidomimetics.

Synthesis of β-Phenethylamines via Ni/Photoredox Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aliphatic Aziridines and Aryl Iodides

A photoassisted Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between tosyl-protected alkyl aziridines and commercially available (hetero)aryl iodides is reported. This mild and modular method proceeds in the absence of stoichiometric heterogeneous reductants and uses an inexpensive organic photocatalyst to access medicinally valuable β-phenethylamine derivatives. Unprecedented reactivity was achieved with the activation of cyclic aziridines. Mechanistic studies suggest that the regioselectivity and reactivity observed under these conditions are a result of nucleophilic iodide ring opening of the aziridine to generate an iodoamine as the active electrophile. This strategy also enables cross-coupling with Boc-protected aziridines.

Dual Gold-Catalyzed Formal Tetradehydro-Diels–Alder Reactions for the Synthesis of Carbazoles and Indolines

This work reports a dual gold-catalyzed tetradehydro-Diels–Alder reaction for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocycles. Under the catalytic system (IPrAuNTf2/DIPEA), indolines and carbazoles as well as other N-containing aromatic heterocycles were prepared in high yields with good functional group tolerance. Unlike the traditional thermal tetradehydro-Diels–Alder reactions, diluted reaction concentration and radical prohibitors are not required for this protocol. Experimental data support a mechanism involving gold vinylidene species, which undergoes a 6 π electrocyclization, followed with 1,2-hydrogen shift.

Synthesis of indolines: Via a palladium/norbornene-catalyzed reaction of aziridines with aryl iodides

A Pd- and norbornene-catalyzed domino procedure has been developed to synthesize indoline compounds. This reaction provides efficient access to indolines by employing aryl iodides with aziridines as new electrophiles. The transformation is scalable and tolerates a range of functional groups.

Modular One-Step Three-Component Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinolines Using a Catellani Strategy

Reported is a modular one-step three-component synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines using a Catellani strategy. This process exploits aziridines as the alkylating reagents, through palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis, to enable a Catellani/Heck/aza-Michael addition cascade. This mild, chemoselective, and scalable protocol has broad substrate scope (43 examples, up to 90 % yield). The most striking feature of this protocol is the excellent regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity observed for 2-alkyl- and 2-aryl-substituted aziridines to access 1,3-cis-substituted and 1,4-cis-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines, respectively. Moreover, this is a versatile process with high step and atom economy.

Ring opening reactions of 1-arenesulfonyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines

The reactivity of 1-arenesulfonyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines with respect to lithium dialkylcyanocuprates and lithium dialkylcuprates (Gilman reagents) has been evaluated for the first time, pointing to the conclusion that these substrates can be applied successfully as synthetic equivalents for the 2-aminopropane dication synthon towards 2-alkylaziridines and α-branched N-tosylamides in good yields.

Angular ligand constraint yields an improved olefin aziridination catalyst

(Matrix presented) The use of a pyridinophane, a macrocycle composed of three pyridines linked, via all ortho positions through CH2 or CH2CH2 groups, bound to copper, gives good performance (rate and yield) catalyzing the
