A Remote ‘Imidazole’-Based Ruthenium(II) Para-Cymene Pre-catalyst for the Selective Oxidation Reaction of Alkyl Arenes and Alcohols

Herein we disclosed the use of a remote ‘imidazole’-based precatalyst [(para-cymene)RuII(L)Cl]+, C-1 where L=2-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline) for the selective oxidation of a variety of alkyl arenes/heteroarenes and alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes or ketones in presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The remote ‘imidazole’ moiety present in the complex facilitates the activation of oxidant and subsequent generation of active species via the release of para-cymene from C-1, which in-turn was less effective without the ‘imidazole’ moiety. The mechanistic features of C-1 promoted oxidation of alkyl arenes were also assessed from spectroscopic, kinetic, and few control experiments. The substrate scope for C-1 promoted oxidation reaction was assessed based on the selective oxidation of 27-different alkyl arenes/heteroarenes and 25 different alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes/ketones in moderate to good yields.

PdII/AgI-Catalyzed Room-Temperature Reaction of γ-Hydroxy Lactams: Mechanism, Scope, and Antistaphylococcal Activity

The present work reports a PdII/AgI-promoted amidoalkylation reaction involving various γ-hydroxy lactams and C/O/S nucleophiles at room temperature. The dual mode of activation of both the electrophile and nucleophile by in situ generated catalytically active cationic PdII species facilitates the reaction at room temperature. Among the synthesized isoindoline derivatives, three compounds are found to be active against vancomycin and methicillin-resistant S. aureus strain with appreciable MIC values.

Regioselective gold-catalyzed oxidative C-N bond formation

A novel protocol for the regioselective intermolecular amination of various arenes has been developed. By using an I(III) oxidant in the presence of a Au(I) catalyst, a direct and novel route for regioselectively accessing a variety of substituted aniline moieties has been achieved with yields as high as 90%. Mechanistic insight suggests that regioselectivity can be predicted based on electrophilic aromatic metalation patterns.
