We report the design of a bifunctional metal–organic layer (MOL), Hf12-Ru-Co, composed of [Ru(DBB)(bpy)2]2+ [DBB-Ru, DBB=4,4′-di(4-benzoato)-2,2′-bipyridine; bpy=2,2′-bipyridine] connecting ligand as a photosensitizer and Co(dmgH)2(PPA)Cl (PPA-Co, dmgH=dimethylglyoxime; PPA=4-pyridinepropionic acid) on the Hf12 secondary building unit (SBU) as a hydrogen-transfer catalyst. Hf12-Ru-Co efficiently catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation of indolines and tetrahydroquinolines to afford indoles and quinolones. We extended this strategy to prepare Hf12-Ru-Co-OTf MOL with a [Ru(DBB)(bpy)2]2+ photosensitizer and Hf12 SBU capped with triflate as strong Lewis acids and PPA-Co as a hydrogen transfer catalyst. With three synergistic active sites, Hf12-Ru-Co-OTf competently catalyzed dehydrogenative tandem transformations of indolines with alkenes or aldehydes to afford 3-alkylindoles and bisindolylmethanes with turnover numbers of up to 500 and 460, respectively, illustrating the potential use of MOLs in constructing novel multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts.

The direct dehydrogenation of alkanes is among the most efficient ways to access valuable alkene products. Although several catalysts have been designed to promote this transformation, they have unfortunately found limited applications in fine chemical synthesis. Here, we report a conceptually novel strategy for the catalytic, intermolecular dehydrogenation of alkanes using a ruthenium catalyst. The combination of a redox-active ligand and a sterically hindered aryl radical intermediate has unleashed this novel strategy. Importantly, mechanistic investigations have been performed to provide a conceptual framework for the further development of this new catalytic dehydrogenation system.

Photoactive two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have become promising heterogenous photocatalysts in visible-light-driven organic transformations. Herein, a visible-light-driven selective aerobic oxidation of various small organic molecules by using 2D-COFs as the photocatalyst was developed. In this protocol, due to the remarkable photocatalytic capability of hydrazone-based 2D-COF-1 on molecular oxygen activation, a wide range of amides, quinolones, heterocyclic compounds, and sulfoxides were obtained with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance under very mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, benefiting from the inherent advantage of heterogenous photocatalysis, prominent sustainability and easy photocatalyst recyclability, a drug molecule (modafinil) and an oxidized mustard gas simulant (2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide) were selectively and easily obtained in scale-up reactions. Mechanistic investigations were conducted using radical quenching experiments and in situ ESR spectroscopy, all corroborating the proposed role of 2D-COF-1 in photocatalytic cycle.

The biocatalytic aromatization of indolines into indole derivatives exploiting monoamine oxidase (MAO-N) enzymes is presented. Indoline substrates were prepared via photocatalytic cyclization of arylaniline precursors or via arylative dearomatization of unsubstituted indoles and in turn chemoselectively aromatized by the MAO-N D11 whole cell biocatalyst. Computational docking studies of the indoline substrates in the MAO-N D11 catalytic site allowed for the rationalization of the biocatalytic mechanism and experimental results of the biotransformation. This methodology represents an efficient example of biocatalytic synthesis of indole derivatives and offers a facile approach to access these aromatic heterocycles under mild reaction conditions.
DMSO/t-BuONa/O2-Mediated Aerobic Dehydrogenation of Saturated N-Heterocycles
Cai, Hu,Tan, Wei,Xie, Yongfa,Yang, Ruchun,Yue, Shusheng
, p. 7501 - 7509 (2020/07/07)
Aromatic N-heterocycles such as quinolines, isoquinolines, and indolines are synthesized via sodium tert-butoxide-promoted oxidative dehydrogenation of the saturated heterocycles in DMSO solution. This reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and has a good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies suggest a radical pathway involving hydrogen abstraction of dimsyl radicals from the N-H bond or α-C-H of the substrates and subsequent oxidation of the nitrogen or α-aminoalkyl radicals.

Herein, we report a protocol for desulfonylation of aza-heteroaromatic rings via photoinduced electron transfer and hydrogen atom transfer. This general protocol has a wide substrate range and moderate to good yields. The utility of the method was demonstrated by the chemoselective desulfonylation of a molecule containing both an aliphatic and an aromatic sulfonamide. (Figure presented.).

Homoleptic lanthanide complex Y[N(TMS)2]3 is an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the hydroboration reduction of secondary amides and tertiary amides to corresponding amines. A series of amides containing different functional groups such as cyano, nitro, and vinyl groups were found to be well-tolerated. This transformation has also been nicely applied to the synthesis of indoles and piribedil. Detailed isotopic labeling experiments, control experiments, and kinetic studies provided cumulative evidence to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

A series of [Ru(Cp/Cp?)(PR2NR′2)(MeCN)]PF6 complexes were prepared, in which the steric and electronic properties of the primary coordination sphere were varied (R = Ph, t-Bu, Bn; and Cp vs. Cp?). These complexes were catalytically active in the cyclization of alkyne substrates with an intramolecular nucleophile (amine or alcohol) to produce 5-and 6-membered heterocycles. The effect of the 1° coordination sphere structure on catalyst performance was evaluated. Steric bulk around the metal centre was a key feature to achieve rapid catalysis at low temperatures. The catalyst [Ru(Cp)(Pt-Bu2NPh2)(MeCN)]PF6 gave a turnover number that was >1 order of magnitude more active than previous catalysts in the cyclization of the benchmark substrate 2-ethynylaniline. This catalyst is tolerant of a diversity of functional groups and is competent at the formation of various substituted indoles.

, p. 422 - 430 (2019/07/31)
A synthesis of 9-fluoroellipticine (1c) from 5-fluoroindole (6) is described that features the regioselective lithiation of 5-fluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole (7) followed by chemoselective acylation of 3,4-pyridinedicarboxylic anhydride. Subsequent cyclization of keto acid 9 to keto lactam 10 with acetic anhydride and sequential treatment of 10 with methyllithium and sodium borohydride affords 9-fluoroellipticine.
