Rh(III)-Catalyzed Aryl and Alkenyl C-H Bond Addition to Diverse Nitroalkenes

The transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond addition to nitroalkenes has been developed. Very broad nitroalkene scope was observed for this Rh(III)-catalyzed method, including for aliphatic, aromatic, and β,β-disubstituted derivatives. Additionally, various directing groups and both aromatic and alkenyl C-H bonds were effective in this transformation. Representative nitroalkane products were converted to dihydroisoquinolones and dihydropyridones in a single step and in high yield by iron-mediated reduction and in situ cyclization. Moreover, preliminary success in enantioselective Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond addition to nitroalkenes was achieved as was X-ray structural characterization of a nitronate intermediate.

Schmidt reaction on substituted 1-indanones / N-alkylation: Synthesis of benzofused six-membered ring lactams and their evaluation as antimicrobial agents

Background: The presence of bicyclic lactams is reflected in various pharmaceuticals, natural products, agrochemicals and active components of various dyes. Nowadays, to see the increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance and high incidence of microbial infections, there is a strong need to develop novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, we synthesized some benzofused six membered ring lactams and their alkyl derivatives as a trial to obtain valuable precursors for the discovery of future an-timicrobial drugs. Methods: The substituted lactams 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinones 3a-c and 3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-isoquinolinones 4a-c were synthesized by Schmidt reaction on indanones 2a-c which were obtained by Friedel-Crafts reaction on β-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids 1a-c. Lactams 6 and 7 were obtained by N-alkylation on benzofused lactams 3a-c and 4a-c in good to excellent yields. Structures of all products were well characterized by the rigorous analysis of their IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The in vitro antimicrobial activities of all the synthesized compounds 6 and 7 were determined against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and the fungal species Candida albi-cans using broth macrodilution method. Results: The Schmidt reaction of 3-methylindanone, 3-phenylindanone and 3,3-dimethylindanone using methane sulphonic acid was found to behave differently with respect to isolated yield as well as isomeric ratio of both lactams. Bacterial growth inhibition was observed with bicyclic lactam derivatives although their MIC values were higher than ampicillin. The significant inhibitory effects were shown by majority of compounds with MIC values 125-250 μg/ml. Antifungal activity of bicyclic lactam derivatives was observed against C. albicans. However, MICs values of all tested compounds were higher compared to standard antifungal agent miconazole. Conclusion: The four Schmidt experimental conditions were tried with the aim of achieving both 6-membered ring lactams in equal ratio and NaN3/MeSO3H was identified to fulfill our purpose. As evident by structure-activity relationship, the tested compounds have not resulted in superior antibacterial or anti-fungal compounds compared to standard antimicrobials. Hence, there is still a need to carry out further modifications in bicyclic lactams structure in order to more efficacious antimicrobial lead molecules.

Rhodium(III) Complex with a Bulky Cyclopentadienyl Ligand as a Catalyst for Regioselective Synthesis of Dihydroisoquinolones through C?H Activation of Arylhydroxamic Acids

Catalytic reaction of arylhydroxamic acids with alkenes represents a convenient method for preparation of biologically active dihydroisoquinolones. Here, the rhodium(III) complex [(C5H2tBu2CH2tBu)RhCl2]2, which allows one to carry out such reactions with high regioselectivity to obtain 4-substituted dihydroisoquinolones in 72–97 % yields, is described. The regioselectivity is provided by the bulky cyclopentadienyl ligand of the catalyst, which is formed through a [2+2+1] cyclotrimerization of tert-butylacetylene. The catalytic reaction tolerates various distant functional groups in alkenes, but is inhibited by bulky (e.g., tBu) or strongly coordinating (e.g., imidazolyl) substituents. Some of the prepared dihydroisoquinolones effectively inhibit growth of phytopathogenic fungi.

Ligand-Controlled Regiodivergent Pathways of Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Dihydroisoquinolone Synthesis: Experimental and Computational Studies of Different Cyclopentadienyl Ligands

RhIII-catalyzed directed C-H functionalizations of arylhydroxamates have become a valuable synthetic tool. To date, the regioselectivity of the insertion of the unsaturated acceptor into the common cyclometalated intermediate was dependent solely on intrinsic substrate control. Herein, we report two different catalytic systems that allow the selective formation of regioisomeric 3-aryl dihydroisoquinolones and previously inaccessible 4-aryl dihydroisoquinolones under full catalyst control. The differences in the catalysts are computationally examined using density functional theory and transition state theory of different possible pathways to elucidate key contributing factors leading to the regioisomeric products. The stabilities of the initially formed rhodium complex styrene adducts, as well as activation barrier differences for the migratory insertion, were identified as key contributing factors for the regiodivergent pathways. RhIII-catalyzed directed C-H functionalization of aryl hydroxamates enables the selective formation of regioisomeric 3-aryl or 4-aryl dihydroisoquinolones with two different catalytic systems. The different selectivities are examined using DFT and transition state theory. The stabilities of the rhodium complex adducts and migratory-insertion activation barriers are key factors for the regiodivergent pathways (see scheme; rs=regioselectivity).
