Catalytic Defluoroalkylation of Trifluoromethylaromatics with Unactivated Alkenes

We describe a new catalytic approach to selective functionalization of the strong C-F bonds in trifluoromethylaromatic (Ar-CF3) systems. In this approach, single electron reduction of Ar-CF3 substrates (using a photoredox catalyst) r

METHODS OF CONTROLLING CROP PESTS USING AROMATIC AMIDE INSECT REPELLENTS, METHODS OF MAKING AROMATIC AMIDE INSECT REPELLENTS, AND NOVEL AROMATIC AMIDE INSECT REPELLENTS

Methods of protecting fruit crops from flying insect pests and of repelling flying insects using aromatic amide compounds are disclosed. The methods apply the compounds to various surfaces, such as the fruit crops, the ground or structures adjacent to the fruit crops, or an object, article, human skin or animal. The compounds have the formula RxC6Hy—C(═O)—N(Cy), where RxC6Hy is a substituted phenyl group, each R group is independently C1-C6 alkyl, substituted C1-C4 alkyl, (substituted) C6-C10 aryl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C6-C10 aryloxy, halogen, nitro, cyano, cyanate, isocyanate, nitroso, C1-C4 alkylthio, phenylthio, (halogen-substituted) C1-C4 alkylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, tolylsulfonyl, amino, mono- or di-C1-C4 alkylamino, diphenylamino, di-C1-C4 alkylamido, formyl, C2-C7 acyl, or C1-C6 alkoxycarbonyl; x is an integer of 1 to 5; x+y=5; Cy is a C2-C8 (substituted) alkadiyl, a C4-C6 (substituted) alkenediyl, or a (substituted) diyl of the formula —(CH2CH2)—O—(CH2CH2)—, —(CH2CH2)—NR′—(CH2CH2)— or —(CH2CH2)—S—(CH2CH2)— that, along with the amide N atom, forms a non-aromatic cyclic group; and R′ is C1-C6 alkyl, substituted C1-C4 alkyl, (substituted) C6-C10 aryl, or (substituted) benzyl.

Visible-Light-Induced Palladium-Catalyzed Selective Defluoroarylation of Trifluoromethylarenes with Arylboronic Acids

Selective functionalization of inactive C(sp3)-F bonds to prepare medicinally interesting aryldifluoromethylated compounds remains challenging. One promising route is the transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling through oxidative addition of the C(sp3)-F bond in trifluoromethylarenes (ArCF3), which are ideal precursors for this process due to their ready availability and low cost. Here, we report an unprecedented excited-state palladium catalysis strategy for selective defluoroarylation of trifluoromethylarenes with arylboronic acids. This visible-light-induced palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling proceeds under mild reaction conditions and allows transformation of a variety of arylboronic acids and ArCF3. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that the oxidative addition of the C(sp3)-F bond in ArCF3 to excited-state palladium(0) via a single electron transfer pathway is responsible for the C(sp3)-F bond activation.

Radical Chain Reduction via Carbon Dioxide Radical Anion (CO2?-)

We developed an effective method for reductive radical formation that utilizes the radical anion of carbon dioxide (CO2?-) as a powerful single electron reductant. Through a polarity matched hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) between an electrophilic radical and a formate salt, CO2?- formation occurs as a key element in a new radical chain reaction. Here, radical chain initiation can be performed through photochemical or thermal means, and we illustrate the ability of this approach to accomplish reductive activation of a range of substrate classes. Specifically, we employed this strategy in the intermolecular hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes with (hetero)aryl chlorides/bromides, radical deamination of arylammonium salts, aliphatic ketyl radical formation, and sulfonamide cleavage. We show that the reactivity of CO2?- with electron-poor olefins results in either single electron reduction or alkene hydrocarboxylation, where substrate reduction potentials can be utilized to predict reaction outcome.

NaI-mediated oxidative amidation of benzyl alcohols/aromatic aldehydes to benzamides via electrochemical reaction

In this research, we have developed a mild electrochemical process for oxidative amidation of benzyl alcohols/aromatic aldehydes with cyclic amines into the corresponding benzamides. This electroorganic synthetic method proceeds using NaI as a redox mediator under ambient temperature in undivided cell, providing more than 25 examples of amide products in moderate to good yields. The benefits of this reaction include one-pot synthesis, open air condition, proceed in aqueous media and no requirement of external conducting salt, base and oxidant.

Organophotoredox-Mediated Amide Synthesis by Coupling Alcohol and Amine through Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohol

The combination of an organic photocatalyst [4CzIPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6 dicyanobenzene) or 5MeOCzBN (2,3,4,5,6-pentakis(3,6-dimethoxy-9 H-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile)], quinuclidine, and tetra-n-butylammonium phosphate (hydrogen-bonding catalyst) was employed for amide bond formations. The hydrogen-bonded OH group activated the adjacent C?H bond of alcohols towards hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) by a radical species. The quinuclidinium radical cation, generated through single-electron oxidation of quinuclidine by the photocatalyst, employed to abstract a hydrogen atom from the α-C?H bond of alcohols selectively due to a polarity effect-produced α-hydroxyalkyl radical, which subsequently converted to the corresponding aldehyde under aerobic conditions. Then the coupling of the aldehyde and an amine formed a hemiaminal intermediate that upon photocatalytic oxidation produced the amide.

Ortho lithiation-in situ borylation of substituted morpholine benzamides

Morpholine amides are cheap and safe alternative to Weinreb amides as acylating agents of organometallic species. Herein, the in-situ lithiation/borylation of 18 ortho- meta- and para-substituted morpholine benzamides has been investigated. 10 of the 18 substrates provided the desired boronic esters as the major isomer (>90% regioselectivity) in crude isolated yields ranging from 68 to 93%. The synthetic usability of such building blocks was subsequently illustrated via the synthesis of a kinase inhibitor.

Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Amidation of Benzyl Alcohols

A Cu-catalyzed synthesis of amides from alcohols and secondary amines using the oxygen in air as the terminal oxidant has been developed. The methodology is operationally simple requiring no high pressure equipment or handling of pure oxygen. The commercially available, nonprecious metal catalyst, Cu(phen)Cl2, in conjunction with di-tert-butyl hydrazine dicarboxylate and an inorganic base provides a variety of benzamides in moderate to excellent yields. The pKa of amine conjugate acid and electronics of alcohol were shown to impact the selection of base for optimal reactivity. A mechanism consistent with the observed reactivity trends, KIE, and Hammett study is proposed.

Phenazinium salt-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidation of aromatic aldehydes

Amides are prevalent in organic synthesis. Developing an efficient synthesis that avoids expensive oxidants and heating is highly desirable. Here the oxidative amidation of aromatic aldehydes is reported using an inexpensive metal-free visible light photocatalyst, phenazine ethosulfate, at low catalytic loading (1-2 mol %). The reaction proceeds at ambient temperature and uses air as the sole oxidant. The operationally easy procedure provides an economical, green, and mild alternative for the formation of amide bonds.
