Selective electrochemical oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and preparation of mono/multi-carbonyl compounds

A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

Diversification of α-ketoamides: Via transamidation reactions with alkyl and benzyl amines at room temperature

A wide range of N-tosyl α-ketoamides underwent transamidation with various alkyl amines in the absence of a catalyst, base, or additive. On the other hand, transamidation in N-Boc α-ketoamides was achieved in the presence of Cs2CO3. The reactions proceede

Synthesis of aliphatic α-ketoamides from α-substituted methyl ketones: Via a Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidation

α-Ketoamides are an important key functional group and have been used as versatile and valuable intermediates and synthons in a variety of functional group transformations. Synthetic methods for making aryl α-ketoamides as drug candidates have been greatly improved through metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidations. However, the preparation of alkyl α-ketoamides through metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidations has not been reported because generating α-ketoamides from aliphatic ketones with two α-carbons theoretically provides two distinct α-ketoamides. Our strategy is to activate the α-carbon by introducing an N-substituent at one of the two α-positions. The key to this strategy is how heterocyclic compounds such as triazoles and imidazoles affect the selectivity of the synthesis of the alkyl α-ketoamides. From this basic concept, and by optimizing the reaction and elucidating the mechanism of the synthesis of aryl α-ketoamides via a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidation, we prepared fourteen aliphatic α-ketoamides in high yields (48-84%). This journal is

Rapid assembly of α-ketoamides through a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids under mild conditions

A simple and practical method for α-ketoamide synthesis via a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions without an oxidant or an additive, showing good substrate scope and functional compatibility. Moreover, the applicability of this method was further demonstrated by the synthesis of various bioactive molecules and different application examples through a two-step one-pot operation.

Pd-Catalyst Containing a Hemilabile P,C-Hybrid Ligand in Amino Dicarbonylation of Aryl Halides for Synthesis of α-Ketoamides

The amino dicarbonylation of aryl halides affording α-ketoamides with Pd catalysts is highly dependent on the stereoelectronic properties of the involved ligands. Ionic diphosphine ligand L4 can serve as precursor of a hemilabile P,C (phosphine, carbene)-hybrid ligand to form a stable Pd(II)-complex, Pd-L4. In contrast, analogues L1-L3 with a similar 1-(thiophen-3-yl)-benzimidazolyl skeleton behave as typical (mono/di)phosphines. The catalytic system resulting from the complexation of PdCl2(MeCN)2 and L4 exhibits good catalytic performance in terms of aryl iodides conversion (81-95%) and α-ketoamide selectivity (80-91%), as well as the available recyclability in the RTIL of [Bpy]BF4. The in situ FT-IR analysis reveals that the PdCl2(MeCN)2-L4 catalytic system favors the amino dicarbonylation toward α-ketoamides according to the proposed mechanism of cycle I, which involves two independent CO-insertion steps.

Double carbonylation of iodoarenes in the presence of a pyridinium SILP-Pd catalyst

The efficiency of a palladium catalyst, immobilised on a supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) with adsorbed 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride, was investigated in aminocarbonylation reactions. Double carbonylation was found to be the main reaction using different iodoarenes and aliphatic amines as substrates. Application of aniline derivatives as nucleophiles led to the exclusive formation of substituted benzamides. The stabilisation effect of the adsorbed pyridinium ionic liquid was compared to that of imidazolium and phosphonium derivatives. It was proved that the pyridinium SILP-palladium catalyst could be reused in at least 10 cycles. Recyclability was tested in five successive runs for all of the substrates.

Copper/Iodine-Cocatalyzed C-C Cleavage of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds Toward 1,2-Dicarbonyl Compounds

A new, general oxidative route to transformations of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds by merging copper and I2 catalysis is described. This method is applicable to broad 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, including 1,3-diketones, 1,3-keto esters and 1,3-keto amides. Mechanistical studies show that the reaction is achieved via the C–C bond cleavage and CO release cascades.

Amine-Mediated Bond Cleavage in Oxidized Lignin Models

Introducing amines/ammonia into lignin cracking will allow novel bond cleavage pathways. Herein, a method of amines/ammonia-mediated bond cleavage in oxidized lignin β-O-4 models was studied using a copper catalyst at room temperature, demonstrating the effect of the amine source on the selectivity of products. For primary and secondary aliphatic amines, lignin ketone models underwent oxidative Cα?Cβ bond cleavage and Cα?N bond formation to generate aromatic amides. For ammonia, the competition between oxygen and ammonia determined the selectivity between Cα?N and Cβ?N bond formation, generating amides and α-keto amides, respectively. For tertiary amines, the lignin models underwent oxidative Cα?Cβ bond cleavage to benzoic acids. Control experiments indicated that amines act as nucleophiles attacking at the Cα or Cβ position of the oxidized β-O-4 linkage to be cleaved. This study represents a novel example that the breakage of oxidized lignin model can be regulated by amines with a copper catalyst.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxygen Atom Source Enabled Tandem Conversion of 2-Alkynyl Carbonyls to 1,2-Dicarbonyls

A tandem transformation of 2-alkynyl carbonyl compounds by means of a CuBr2/I2/DMSO/water system is developed, enabling the fromation of various functionalized 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, including 1,2-diketones, α-keto amides and α-keto ester. This Cu-promoted iodine-mediated tandem procedure employs DMSO as the oxygen atom source of the formed carbonyl group through iodonium ion formation, nucleophilic DMSO addition and C?C bond cleavage cascades.
