Synthesis of new 4-aryloxy-N-arylanilines and their inhibitory activities against succinate-cytochrome c reductase

Succinate-cytochrome c reductase (SCR) is composed of a mixture of mitochondrial complex II (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) and complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex). Meanwhile, complexes II and III are two promising targets of numerous antibiotics and fungicides. With an aim to identify new lead structures for SCR, complex II or III, a new series of 4-aryloxy-N-arylanilines were synthesized by introducing a 4-aryloxy phenyl group as one of the aryl groups in diaryl amines. With the economic Cu(OAc)2·H2O as the optimal copper promoter, a simple and facile protocol was utilized to afford 24 target products in 56–93% yields. Furthermore, extensive screening results suggested variable inhibitory activities of these compounds against SCR. Exceptionally, compounds 7k–7n showed excellent inhibition potency with their IC50 values in the nanomolar range, demonstrating higher potency than the commercial controls (penthiopyrad and azoxystrobin) by over one order of magnitude.

C-N Cross-Couplings for Site-Selective Late-Stage Diversification via Aryl Sulfonium Salts

We report diverse C-N cross-coupling reactions of aryl thianthrenium salts that are formed site-selectively by direct C-H functionalization. The scope of N-nucleophiles ranges from primary and secondary alkyl and aryl amines to various N-containing hetero

Nickel Dual Photoredox Catalysis for the Synthesis of Aryl Amines

In this work, a new dual photoredox nickel catalysis system has been utilized for the synthesize of aryl amines. Previously, our group has shown that a nickel catalyst in conjunction with a photosensitizer and a sacrificial electron donor can cross-couple C-C bonds via photoredox-assisted reductive coupling. Here we have built upon that system to develop a redox-neutral cross-coupling system for the formation of C-N bonds. The catalytic system is composed of just a nickel cross-coupling catalyst, a Ru photocatalyst, and base and is capable of coupling amines with aryl halides in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, it was found that these reactions are functional under ambient conditions with catalyst loadings of 1 mol %. Spectroscopic studies provide support that this amination mechanism proceeds via a nitrogen-based radical intermediate. This N-radical mechanism offers direct synthetic access to di- and triaryl amines from nickel photocatalysis.

Chan-Evans-Lam Couplings with Copper Iminoarylsulfonate Complexes: Scope and Mechanism

Copper(II) pyridyliminoarylsulfonate complexes with chloride or triflate counteranions were employed in Chan-Evans-Lam (CEL) couplings of N-nucleophiles and arylboronic acids. The complexes avoided typical side reactions in CEL couplings, and an excess of boronic acid was not required. Water was tolerated, and addition of neither base nor other additives was necessary. Primary amines, acyclic and cyclic secondary amines, anilines, aminophenol, imidazole, pyrazole, and phenyltetrazole can be quantitatively arylated at either 25 or 50 °C with 2.5 mol % of the catalyst. Reaction kinetics were investigated in detail. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies provide evidence for the formation of unproductive copper-substrate complexes. Formation of an aniline-phenylboronic acid adduct was responsible for the zero-order dependence of reaction rates on phenylboronic acid concentration. Kinetic evidence indicates that the order of reaction steps is transmetalation, nucleophile coordination, and oxidation. Couplings performed poorly with electron-deficient arylboronic acids, due to a slower Cu(II)/Cu(III) oxidation in the catalytic cycle. Photoredox catalysis partially resolved this problem, but addition of copper acetate as an external oxidant proved to be more efficient.

Sulfonato-imino copper(II) complexes: Fast and general Chan-Evans-Lam coupling of amines and anilines

Sulfonato-imine copper complexes with either chloride or triflate counteranions were prepared in a one-step reaction followed by anion-exchange. They are highly active in Chan-Evans-Lam couplings under mild conditions with a variety of amines or anilines, in particular with sterically hindered substrates. No optimization of reaction conditions other than time and/or temperature is required.

Practical Singly and Doubly Electrophilic Aminating Agents: A New, More Sustainable Platform for Carbon-Nitrogen Bond Formation

Given the importance of amines in a large number of biologically active natural products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, agrochemicals, and functional materials, the development of efficient C-N bond-forming methods with wide substrate scope continues to be at the frontier of research in synthetic organic chemistry. Here, we present a general and fundamentally new synthetic approach for the direct, transition-metal-free preparation of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diaryl-, arylalkyl-, and dialkylamines that relies on the facile single or double addition of readily available C-nucleophiles to the nitrogen atom of bench-stable electrophilic aminating agents. Practical single and double polarity reversal (i.e., umpolung) of the nitrogen atom is achieved using sterically and electronically tunable ketomalonate-derived imines and oximes. Overall, this novel approach represents an operationally simple, scalable, and environmentally friendly alternative to transition-metal-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling methods that are currently used to access structurally diverse secondary amines.

Efficient palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides using di(dicyclohexylamino)phenylphosphine as a PN2 ligand

The palladium-catalyzed amination of a variety of aryl chlorides has been accomplished by using di(dicyclohexylamino)phenylphosphine (1) as a bulky electron-rich monoaryl phosphine ligand. The optimized condition for the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl chloride is the followings: aniline (3.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv), chlorobenzene (3.15 mmol, 1.05 equiv), ligand 1 (1 mol %, 0.03 mmol), KOtBu (4.5 mmol, 1.5 equiv), Pd2(dba)3 (1 mol %, 0.03 mmol), and toluene as solvent at reflux temperature. We report on couplings of various amines or chloroamines with chlorobenzenes and heteroaryl chloride.
