Radical mediated-direct conversion of aldehydes into acid bromides

A method of preparing acid bromides directly from aldehydes with Br3CCO2Et under radical conditions was developed. Aromatic aldehydes with electron-donating group were found to be more reactive than aromatic aldehydes with electron-w

Insight into Regioselective Control in Aerobic Oxidative C-H/C-H Coupling for C3-Arylation of Benzothiophenes: Toward Structurally Nontraditional OLED Materials

The installation of (benzo)thiophene-containing biaryls via coupling reactions has become a staple in designing photoelectric materials. Undeniably, C-H/C-H cross-coupling reactions between two (hetero)aromatics would be a shortcut toward these structural fragments. While more reliable cross-coupling technologies are well-established to provide C2-arylated (benzo)thiophenes, efficient methods that arylate the C3-position remain underdeveloped. Herein we provide insight into the factors that determine regioselectivity switching for these cross-coupling reactions. X-ray crystallographic analysis gives solid evidence for the key roles of triflate in regioselective dearomatization and acetate in base-assisted anti-β-deprotonated rearomatization. The first isolation and X-ray characterization of a medium-sized dearomatized cyclometalated adduct involving both substrates provide extra insight into aerobic oxidative Ar-H/Ar-H cross-coupling reactions. The mechanistic breakthrough incubates the first example, enabling C-H/C-H-type C3-arylation of benzothiophenes. Finally, this chemistry is used to design blue-emitting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials with a helicene conformation that exhibit a high maximum external quantum efficiency of 25.4% in OLED.

Cobalt(III)-Catalyzed Construction of Benzofurans, Benzofuranones and One-Pot Orthogonal C?H Functionalizations to Access Polysubstituted Benzofurans

Benzofuran and benzofuranone derivatives have been synthesized through exclusive 5-exo-dig intramolecular hydroarylation using the amide-directed, cost-effective, high-valent Cp*CoIII-catalytic system. Challenging one-pot, orthogonal C?H functionalizations using two different electrophiles are also reported to afford polysubstituted benzofurans. Several valuable functional group interconversions along with removal of the amide directing group provide a route to access several diversely functionalized benzofurans. The mechanistic study suggests a reversible cobaltation step is operative here. (Figure presented.).

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.

Cp?CoIII-Catalyzed syn-Selective C-H Hydroarylation of Alkynes Using Benzamides: An Approach Toward Highly Conjugated Organic Frameworks

Hydroarylation of internal alkynes by cost-effective CoIII-catalysis, directed by N-tert-butyl amides, is achieved to avail mono- or dihydroarylated amide products selectively in an atom and step economic way. Several important functional groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions, and syn-hydroarylation products were exclusively isolated. Notably, a 4-fold C-H hydroarylation provided a highly conjugated organic framework in one step. Kinetic study with extensive deuterium labeling experiments were performed to support the proposed mechanism.

TBHP-promoted and iodide-catalyzed synthesis of anhydrides via cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of aldehydes

We have successfully developed a transition metal free green methodology for the synthesis of carboxylic anhydrides from aldehydes via CDC pathway and have also demonstrated the reaction mechanism. The developed method has also been successfully applied for the synthesis of amides.

Carboxylate-Assisted Iridium-Catalyzed C-H Amination of Arenes with Biologically Relevant Alkyl Azides

An iridium-catalyzed C-H amination of arenes with a wide substrate scope is reported. Benzamides with electron-donating and -withdrawing groups and linear, branched, and cyclic alkyl azides are all applicable. Cesium carboxylate is crucial for both reactivity and regioselectivity of the reactions. Many biologically relevant molecules, such as amino acid, peptide, steroid, sugar, and thymidine derivatives can be introduced to arenes with high yields and 100 % chiral retention. Ir responsible! A direct C-H amination between benzamide derivatives and various alkyl azides was achieved using iridium catalysis (see scheme; NTf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl amide). Cesium carboxylate was found to be the promoter and regiocontroller of this reaction. By this method, many biological active molecules can be introduced to benzamide components with high yields and 100 % chiral retention.

Cesium Carboxylate-Promoted Iridium Catalyzed C-H Amidation/Cyclization with 2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl Azide

An Ir(III)-catalyzed direct C-H amidation/cyclization of benzamides using 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl azide (TrocN3) as the aminocarbonyl source is reported. With the aid of cesium carboxylate, the reactions proceed efficiently and with high regioselectivity, producing various functionalized quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which are important building blocks and key synthetic intermediates for biologically and medicinally important compounds. During the reactions, two new C-N bonds were formed by breaking C-H and N-H bonds sequence.
