Steric effect of NHC ligands in Pd(II)–NHC-catalyzed non-directed C–H acetoxylation of simple arenes

Although there has been a lot of progress in oxidative arene C–H functionalization reactions catalyzed by Pd(II/IV) system, the non-directed, site-selective functionalization of arene molecules is still challenging. It has been established that ligands play a pivotal role in controlling rate- as well as selectivity-determining step in a catalytic cycle involving well-defined metal-ligand bonding. N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have had a tremendous contribution in the recent extraordinary success of achieving high reactivity and excellent selectivity in many catalytic processes including cross-coupling and olefin-metathesis reactions. However, the immense potential of these NHC ligands in improving site-selectivity of non-directed catalytic C–H functionalization reactions of simple arenes is yet to be realized, where overriding the electronic bias on deciding selectivity is a burdensome task. The presented work demonstrated an initiative step in this regard. Herein, a series of well-defined discrete [Pd(NHCR′R)(py)I2] complexes with systematically varied degree of spatial congestion at the Pd centre, exerted through the R and R’ substituents on the NHC ligand, were explored in controlling the activity as well as the site-selectivity of non-directed acetoxylation of representative monosubstituted and disubstituted simple arenes (such as toluene, iodobenzene and bromobenzene, naphthalene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene). The resulting best yields were found to be 75% for toluene and 65% for bromobenzene with [Pd(NHCMePh)(py)I2], 75% for iodobenzene and 79% for naphthalene with [Pd(NHCMeMe)(py)I2], and 41% for 1,2-dichlorobenzene with [Pd(NHCCyCy)(py)I2]. Most importantly, with increasing the bulkiness of the NHC ligand in the complexes, the selectivity of the distal C-acetoxylated products in comparison to the proximal ones, was enhanced to a great extent in all cases. Considering the vast library of NHC ligands, this study underscores the future opportunity to develop more strategies to improve the activity and the crucial site-selectivity of C–H functionalization reactions in simple as well as complex organic molecules.

We report an iron-catalyzed general functional group protection method with inexpensive reagents. This environmentally benign process does not use acids or bases, and does not produce waste products. Further purification beyond filtration and evaporation is, in most cases, unnecessary. Free COOH and OH groups can be protected in a one-pot reaction.

The first synthesis pathway to 6,7-dibromoflavone and its transformations to 7-aryl-6-bromo- and 6,7-diarylflavones by Suzuki-Miyaura reactions are presented. Due to the different electronic effects of bromo substituents, the first attack proceeded with good site selectivity at position 7.

, p. 3213 - 3217 (2016/10/24)
The palladium-catalyzed C?H oxidation of simple arenes is an attractive strategy to obtain phenols, which have many applications in the fine chemicals industry. Although some advances have been made in this research area, low reactivity and selectivity are, in general, observed. This report describes a new catalytic system for the efficient C?H acetoxylation of simple arenes based on Pd(OAc)2 and a pyridinecarboxylic acid ligand.

As part of an ongoing effort in NS5A inhibition at Merck we now describe our efforts for introducing substitution around the tetracyclic indole core of MK-8742. Fluoro substitution on the core combined with the fluoro substitutions on the proline ring improved the potency against GT1a Y93H significantly. However, no improvement on GT2b potency was achieved. Limiting the fluoro substitution to C-1 of the tetracyclic indole core had a positive impact on the potency against the resistance associated variants, such as GT1a Y93H and GT2b, and the PK profile as well. Compounds, such as 62, with reduced potency shifts between wild type GT1a to GT2b, GT1a Y93H, and GT1a L31V were identified.

HCV NS5A inhibitors have demonstrated impressive in vitro virologic profiles in HCV replicon assays and robust HCV RNA titer reduction in the clinic making them attractive components for inclusion in an all oral fixed-dose combination (FDC) regimen for the treatment of HCV infection. Merck's effort in this area identified MK-4882 and MK-8325 as early development leads. Herein, we describe the discovery of potent macrocyclic NS5A inhibitors bearing the MK-8325 or MK-4882 core structure.

A series of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors containing oxime as hinge binding fragment were described. A strategy of pseudo six-membered ring formed through intramolecular hydrogen bond was employed to mimic the planar quinazoline. The oxime group was firstly introduced to interact with hinge region of VEGFR-2. Most of compounds tested showed moderate to high VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity. In particular, 12l, 12p and 12y exhibited significant enzymatic inhibitory activity as well as potent antiproliferative activity against cancer cells. Molecular docking suggested that the salicylaldoxime formed two hydrogen bonds with hinge region. These biphenylureas could serve as promising lead compounds for developing novel anticancer agents.
