Mechanistic studies on intramolecular C-H trifluoromethoxylation of (hetero)arenes via OCF3-migration

The one-pot two-step intramolecular aryl and heteroaryl C-H trifluoromethoxylation recently reported by our group has provided a general, scalable, and operationally simple approach to access a wide range of unprecedented and valuable OCF3-containing building blocks. Herein we describe our investigations to elucidate its reaction mechanism. Experimental data indicate that the O-trifluoromethylation of N-(hetero)aryl-N-hydroxylamine derivatives is a radical process, whereas the OCF3-migration step proceeds via a heterolytic cleavage of the N-OCF3 bond followed by rapid recombination of a short-lived ion pair. Computational studies further support the proposed ion pair reaction pathway for the OCF3-migration process. We hope that the current study would provide useful insights for the development of new transformations using versatile N-(hetero)aryl-N-hydroxylamine synthons.

Polystyrene stabilized iridium nanoparticles catalyzed chemo- and regio-selective semi-hydrogenation of nitroarenes to N-arylhydroxylamines

Polystyrene stabilized Iridium (Ir@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) as a heterogeneous catalyst have been developed and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, SEM, TEM, EDX and XRD studies. The prepared Ir@PS catalyst showed excellent reactivity for chemo- and regio-selective controlled-hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes to corresponding N-arylhydroxylamine using hydrazine hydrate as reducing source and environmentally benign polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as green solvent. The present methodology was applied for vast substrate scope and found to be compatible with wide range of reducible functional groups. The reaction performed at 85 °C or ambient temperature and completed within 5–80 minutes. The catalyst can easily be filtered out from reaction mixture and reusable.

Live-Cell Protein Modification by Boronate-Assisted Hydroxamic Acid Catalysis

Selective methods for introducing protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) within living cells have proven valuable for interrogating their biological function. In contrast to enzymatic methods, abiotic catalysis should offer access to diverse and new-to-nature PTMs. Herein, we report the boronate-assisted hydroxamic acid (BAHA) catalyst system, which comprises a protein ligand, a hydroxamic acid Lewis base, and a diol moiety. In concert with a boronic acid-bearing acyl donor, our catalyst leverages a local molarity effect to promote acyl transfer to a target lysine residue. Our catalyst system employs micromolar reagent concentrations and affords minimal off-target protein reactivity. Critically, BAHA is resistant to glutathione, a metabolite which has hampered many efforts toward abiotic chemistry within living cells. To showcase this methodology, we installed a variety of acyl groups inE. colidihydrofolate reductase expressed within human cells. Our results further establish the well-known boronic acid-diol complexation as abona fidebio-orthogonal reaction with applications in chemical biology and in-cell catalysis.

Regioselective installation of fluorosulfate (-OSO2F) functionality into aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds for the construction of: Para-amino-arylfluorosulfates

The construction of para-amino-arylfluorosulfates was achieved through installation of fluorosulfate (-OSO2F) functionality into aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds by the reaction of N-arylhydroxylamine with sulfuryl fluoride (SO2Fs

Development and Scale-up of Continuous Electrocatalytic Hydrogenation of Functionalized Nitro Arenes, Nitriles, and Unsaturated Aldehydes

Electrolysis flow reactors based on the filter-press architecture of redox flow batteries have proven to be effective and scalable toward the production of commercially relevant, pharmaceutical quantities of anilines (>500 kg/year) from halogen-, hydroxyl-, and carbonyl-substituted nitroarenes. Turbulent flow through the carbon felts on which the catalysts were supported facilitated scaling toward production levels because it conferred on the reactors scale-independent, plug flow-like residence time distributions and high mass transfer coefficients. Equipping the cells with microreference electrodes made it possible to transfer reaction conditions first developed in batch systems to the continuous flow reactors. The catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of metal salts into lightly oxidized carbon felt supports were readily generalizable.

A Modified System for the Synthesis of Enantioenriched N-Arylamines through Copper-Catalyzed Hydroamination

Despite significant recent progress in copper-catalyzed enantioselective hydroamination chemistry, the synthesis of chiral N-arylamines, which are frequently found in natural products and pharmaceuticals, has not been realized. Initial experiments with N-arylhydroxylamine ester electrophiles were unsuccessful and, instead, their reduction in the presence of copper hydride (CuH) catalysts was observed. Herein, we report key modifications to our previously reported hydroamination methods that lead to broadly applicable conditions for the enantioselective net addition of secondary anilines across the double bond of styrenes, 1,1-disubstituted olefins, and terminal alkenes. NMR studies suggest that suppression of the undesired reduction pathway is the basis for the dramatic improvements in yield under the reported method.

Trifluoromethoxylation of arenes: Synthesis of ortho- Trifluoromethoxylated aniline derivatives by OCF3 migration

Aryl trifluoromethoxylation by a two-step sequence of O-trifluoromethylation of N-aryl-N-hydroxylamine derivatives and intramolecular OCF3 migration is presented. This protocol allows easy access to a wide range of synthetically useful ortho-OCF3 aniline derivatives. In addition, it utilizes bench-stable reagents, is operationally simple, shows high functional-group tolerance, and is amenable to gram-scale as well as one-pot synthesis.Areaction mechanism of a heterolytic cleavage of the N-OCF3 bond followed by recombination of the resulting nitrenium ion and trifluoromethoxide is proposed for the OCF3-migration reaction.

Solid supported platinum(0) nanoparticles catalyzed chemo-selective reduction of nitroarenes to N-arylhydroxylamines

Solid supported platinum(0) (SS-Pt) nanoparticles were developed as a heterogeneous catalyst following a reduction/deposition method and characterized by SEM, TEM, EDX and XRD analysis. The SS-Pt catalyst was applied in the chemo-selective reduction of nitroarenes to N-arylhydroxylamines using hydrazine hydrate as a hydrogen source. A wide variety of reducible functional groups such as halides, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, nitriles, keto, alkenes, alkynes and N-benzyl were well tolerated under the reaction conditions. This process was further successfully employed in 10 g scale reactions. N-Arylhydroxylamines were further applied for catalyst free synthesis of azoxybenzenes. Moreover, use of PEG-400 as cheap reaction medium, additive free methodology and the recyclability of SS-Pt catalyst up to ten times without significant loss of catalytic activity evidently follow the principles of green chemistry.
