Iodine-Promoted Metal-Free Cyclization and O/S Exchange of Acrylamides with Thiuram: One-Step Synthesis of Quinolino-2-thiones

A one-step cyclization and O/S exchange reaction of readily available acrylamides in the presence of iodine and thiuram has been developed. The reaction provides an efficient approach for the synthesis of highly important heterocycle quinolino-2-thiones with diverse substitution patterns.

A Metal-Free Direct Arene C?H Amination

The synthesis of aryl amines via the formation of a C?N bond is an essential tool for the preparation of functional materials, active pharmaceutical ingredients and bioactive products. Usually, this chemical connection is only possible by transition metal-catalyzed reactions, photochemistry or electrochemistry. Here, we report a metal-free arene C?H amination using hydroxylamine derivatives under benign conditions. A charge transfer interaction between the aminating reagents TsONHR and the arene substrates enables the chemoselective amination of the arene, even in the presence of various functional groups. Oxygen was crucial for an effective conversion and its accelerating role for the electron transfer step was proven experimentally. In addition, this was rationalized by a theoretical study which indicated the involvement of a dioxygen-bridged complex with a “Sandwich-like” arrangement of the aromatic starting materials and the aminating agents at the dioxygen molecule. (Figure presented.).

Ruthenium(ii) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine ligands for theN-alkylation of amines with alcohols

Metal hydride complexes are key intermediates forN-alkylation of amines with alcohols by the borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer (BH/HA) strategy. Reactivity tuning of metal hydride complexes could adjust the dehydrogenation of alcohols and the hydrogenation of imines. Herein we report ruthenium(ii) complexes with hetero-bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-phosphine ligands, which realize smart pathway selection in theN-alkylated reactionviareactivity tuning of [Ru-H] species by hetero-bidentate ligands. In particular, complex6cbwith a phenyl wingtip group and BArF?counter anion, is shown to be one of the most efficient pre-catalysts for this transformation (temperature is as low as 70 °C, neat conditions and catalyst loading is as low as 0.25 mol%). A large variety of (hetero)aromatic amines and primary alcohols were efficiently converted into mono-N-alkylated amines in good to excellent isolated yields. Notably, aliphatic amines, challenging methanol and diamines could also be transformed into the desired products. Detailed control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide insights to understand the mechanism and the smart pathway selectionvia[Ru-H] species in this process.

Highly Efficient Binuclear Copper-catalyzed Oxidation of N,N-Dimethylanilines with O2

A binuclear copper-salicylate complex, [Cu(Sal)2(NCMe)]2 (Sal=salicylate), was found to be an active catalyst for the oxidation of N,N-dimethylanilines by O2, affording the corresponding N-methyl-N-phenylformamides as major products. The reactions were carried out with a O2 balloon and the S/C (substrate/catalyst ratio) of the model reaction could be up to 1×105, providing a practical and highly efficient catalytic protocol for accessing N-methyl-N-phenylformamides.

Room temperature N-heterocyclic carbene manganese catalyzed selective N-alkylation of anilines with alcohols

The first example of room temperature non-noble metal homogeneous system catalyzed selective N-alkylation of anilines with alcohols by a bis-NHC manganese complex is presented. This system was applied to a large range of alcohols and anilines, including biologically relevant motifs and challenging methanol. Experimental and computational studies suggest an outer-sphere mechanism for this NHC-Mn system.

Expedient stereospecific Co-catalyzed tandem C-N and C-O bond formation of: N -methylanilines with styrene oxides

Cobalt(ii)-catalyzed stereospecific coupling of N-methylanilines with styrene oxides is developed via tandem C-N and C-O bond formation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Optically active epoxide can be reacted with high optical purity.

Base-oxidant promoted metal-free N-demethylation of arylamines

A metal-free oxidative N-demethylation of arylamines with triethylamine as a base and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant is reported in this paper. The reaction is general, practical, inexpensive, non-toxic, and the method followed is environmentally benign, with moderate to good yields. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Catalytic methylation of aromatic amines with formic acid as the unique carbon and hydrogen source

A novel methodology is presented for the direct methylation of amines, using formic acid as a unique source of carbon and hydrogen. Based on ruthenium(II) catalysts, the formation of the N - CH3group proceeds via an efficient formylation/transfer hydrogenation pathway.

Iron(III)-catalyzed C-H functionalization: Ortho-benzoyloxylation of N,N-dialkylanilines and its application to 1,4-benzoxazepines

A C-O bond-formation reaction that proceeds through C-H functionalization of N,N-dialkylanilines at the ortho-position is presented. The iron-catalyzed selective ortho-benzoyloxylation follows a polar Friedel-Crafts-like mechanism and is sensitive to the nucleophilicity of the anilines. The benzoyl-oxylation of a variety of N,N-disubstituted anilines and Nphenyl heterocycles is carried out under extremely mild conditions. Furthermore, the methodology has been successfully employed for the generation of 1,4-benzoxazepines and oaminophenols.
