Expedient stereospecific Co-catalyzed tandem C-N and C-O bond formation of: N -methylanilines with styrene oxides

Cobalt(ii)-catalyzed stereospecific coupling of N-methylanilines with styrene oxides is developed via tandem C-N and C-O bond formation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Optically active epoxide can be reacted with high optical purity.

A robust and recyclable polyurea-encapsulated copper(I) chloride for one-pot ring-opening/Huisgen cycloaddition/CO2 capture in water

Multicomponent ring-opening/Huisgen cycloaddition reactions combined with CO2 capture with a polyurea-encapsulated copper salt as a catalyst that in situ formed from simple CuCl and soluble polyurea during the reaction were carried out successf

Fe(III) substituted Wells-Dawson type polyoxometalate: An efficient catalyst for ring opening of epoxides with aromatic amines

Highly efficient nanocrystalline zirconosilicate catalysts for the aminolysis, alcoholysis, and hydroamination reactions

Nanocrystalline zirconosilicates and titanosilicates with MFI framework structure were hydrothermally synthesized by the addition of organosilanes in the synthesis composition of conventional zirconosilicate and titanosilicate materials. Materials were characterized by a complementary combination of X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption, scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopic investigations. Nanocrystalline zeolite catalysts of the present study are reusable. They exhibit significantly higher catalytic activities in aminolysis and alcoholysis compared with the hitherto known catalysts. A range of β-amino alcohols/β-alkoxy alcohols with high regioselectivity were synthesized using zirconosilicates. Application of these materials was also extended in the synthesis of aminoesters by the hydroamination reaction of methyl acrylates and amines. Structure activity relationship was explained based on acidity measurements, reactivity of amines/alcohols, and adsorption of reactants on catalysts.

Zinc tetrafluoroborate hydrate as a mild catalyst for epoxide ring opening with amines: Scope and limitations of metal tetrafluoroborates and applications in the synthesis of antihypertensive drugs (RS)/(R)/(S)-metoprolols

The scope and limitations of metal tetrafluoroborates have been studied for epoxide ring-opening reaction with amines, and Zn(BF4) 2?xH2O has been found to be a mild and efficient catalyst affording high yields under solvent-free conditions at rt with excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities. The catalytic efficiency followed the order Zn(BF4)2?xH2O ? Cu(BF4)2?xH2O > Co(BF4) 2?6H2O ? Fe(BF4)2? 6H2O > LiBF4 for reactions with cyclohexene oxide and Zn(BF4)2?xH2O ? Co(BF4) 2?6H2O ? Fe(BF4)2? 6H2O > Cu(BF4)2?xH2O for stilbene oxide, but AgBF4 was ineffective. For reaction of styrene oxide with aniline, the metal tetrafluoroborates exhibited comparable regioselectivity (1:99-7:93) with preferential reaction at the benzylic carbon of the epoxide ring. A reversal of regioselectivity (91:1-69:31) in favor of the reaction at the terminal carbon of the epoxide ring was observed for reaction with morpholine. The regioselectivity was dependent on the electronic and steric factors of the epoxide and the pKa of the amine and independent of amine nucleophilicity. The role of the metal tetrafluoroborates is envisaged as "electrophile nucleophile dual activation" through cooperativity of coordination, charge-charge interaction, and hydrogen-bond formation that rationalizes the catalytic efficiency, substrate reactivity, and regioselectivity. The methodology was used for synthesis of cardiovascular drug metoprolol as racemic and enriched enantiomeric forms.

Sn(OTf)2 catalysed regioselective styrene oxide ring opening with aromatic amines

Sn(OTf)2 is an efficient and versatile catalyst for the highly regioselective opening of styrene oxide with aromatic amines, which allowed for the preparation of fourteen 2-arylamino-2-phenylethanols, some of them described here for the first time (6g, 6i, 6j, 6k and 6m). Sn(OTf)2 also catalyses the opening of styrene oxide with aliphatic amines in moderate to high yields but with a lower degree of regioselectivity. 2-Akylamino-1-phenylethanols are the predominant products when moderate to high regioselectivity is observed (compounds 4b, 4c and 4d). This is the first report of the use of Sn(OTf)2 to catalyse the opening of an epoxide by aliphatic amines.
