Electrochemically Tuned Oxidative [4+2] Annulation and Dioxygenation of Olefins with Hydroxamic Acids

This work represents the first [4+2] annulation of hydroxamic acids with olefins for the synthesis of benzo[c][1,2]oxazines scaffold via anode-selective electrochemical oxidation. This protocol features mild conditions, is oxidant free, shows high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, broad substrate scope of both alkenes and hydroxamic acids, and is compatible with terpenes, peptides, and steroids. Significantly, the dioxygenation of olefins employing hydroxamic acid is also successfully achieved by switching the anode material under the same reaction conditions. The study not only reveals a new reactivity of hydroxamic acids and its first application in electrosynthesis but also provides a successful example of anode material-tuned product selectivity.

Tandem selective reduction of nitroarenes catalyzed by palladium nanoclusters

We report a catalytic tandem reduction of nitroarenes by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in aqueous solution under ambient conditions, which can selectively produce five categories of nitrogen-containing compounds: anilines, N-aryl hydroxylamines, azoxy-, azo- and hydrazo-compounds. The catalyst is in situ-generated ultrasmall palladium nanoclusters (Pd NCs, diameter of 1.3 ± 0.3 nm) from the reduction of Pd(OAc)2 by NaBH4. These highly active Pd NCs are stabilized by surface-coordinated nitroarenes, which inhibit the further growth and aggregation of Pd NCs. By controlling the concentration of Pd(OAc)2 (0.1-0.5 mol% of nitroarene) and NaBH4, the water/ethanol solvent ratio and the tandem reaction sequence, each of the five categories of N-containing compounds can be obtained with excellent yields (up to 98%) in less than 30 min at room temperature. This tunable catalytic tandem reaction works efficiently with a broad range of nitroarene substrates and offers a green and sustainable method for the rapid and large-scale production of valuable N-containing chemicals.

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.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Electrophilic Amination of Aryl- and Heteroarylzinc Pivalates with N-Hydroxylamine Benzoates

Aryl- and heteroarylzinc pivalates can be aminated with O-benzoylhydroxylamines at 25 °C within 2–4 h in the presence of 2.5–5.0 % CoCl2?2 LiCl to furnish the corresponding tertiary arylated or heteroarylated amines in good yields. This electrophilic amination also provides access to diarylamines and aryl(heteroaryl)amines. A new tuberculosis drug candidate (Q203) was prepared in six steps and 56 % overall yield by using this cobalt-catalyzed amination as the key step.

Synthesis of N-aryl and N-heteroaryl hydroxylamines via partial reduction of nitroarenes with soluble nanoparticle catalysts

Polystyrene-supported ruthenium nanoparticles enable the selective hydrazine-mediated reduction of nitroarenes to hydroxylamine products in high yield and selectivity. Key to obtaining the hydroxylamine product in good yield was the use of organic solvents capable of solubilizing the polystyrene-supported nanoparticle catalyst. N-aryl and N-heteroaryl hydroxylamines are generated under exceptionally mild conditions and in the presence of a various easily reduced functional groups.

Visible-Light, Photoredox-Mediated Oxidative Tandem Nitroso-Diels–Alder Reaction of Arylhydroxylamines with Conjugated Dienes

Arylhydroxylamines were used in the nitroso-Diels–Alder reaction to generate in situ nitrosoarenes under visible-light, catalytic and aerobic conditions. Mixing a solution of aryl- or heteroarylhydroxylamines with conjuguated dienes in the presence of a catalytic amount of Ru(bpy)3Cl2 afforded 3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxazines in good yields under an oxygen atmosphere.

Hydroxamic Acids as Chemoselective (ortho-Amino)arylation Reagents via Sigmatropic Rearrangement

The use of readily available hydroxamic acids as reagents for the chemoselective (ortho-amino)arylation of amides is described. This reaction proceeds under metal-free, mild conditions, displays a very broad scope, and constitutes a direct approach for the metal-free attachment of aniline residues to carbonyl derivatives.

Influence of the side-group at C=N bridging bond of bis-aryl Schiff bases on the wavelength of absorption maximum of ultraviolet absorption spectra

The compounds N-(benzylidene)-anilines XArCH=NArY (XBAY), N-(phenyl-ethylene)-anilines XArC(CH3)=NArY (XPEAY) and N-phenyl-α-phenylnitrones XArCH=N(O)ArY (XPNY) have bridging group CH=N, C(CH3)=N and CH=N(O) respectively, in which the C(CH3)=N has a side-group methyl CH3 at carbon end and the CH=N(O) has a side-group O atom at nitrogen end. In this work, a series of XPEAY and XPNY were synthesized, and their longest wavelength maximum λmax (nm) of ultraviolet absorption spectra were measured. Then the change regularity of the νmax (cm-1, νmax=1/λmax) of XPEAY and XPNY were investigated, and they were compared with that of XBAY (reported by ref.26). The results indicate: (1) There are no good linear relationships between the νmax of XBAYs and XPEAYs or XPNYs. (2) In case of a same set of X-Y group couples, the distribution of λmax of XPEAYs is larger than that of XPNYs. (3) The side-group CH3 makes the effect of σ(X) larger than that of σ(Y) on the νmax of XPEAYs, whereas the O atom makes the effect of σ(Y) larger than that of σ(X) on the νmax of XPNYs. (4) The cross-interaction between X and Y has important effect on the all νmax. However, the cross-interaction between CH3 and X/Y has not important effect on the νmax of XPEAY, and the cross-interaction between O and X/Y has not important effect on the νmax of XPNY. Copyright
