Meta Selective C-H Borylation of Sterically Biased and Unbiased Substrates Directed by Electrostatic Interaction

An electrostatically directed meta borylation of sterically biased and unbiased substrates is described. The borylation follows an electrostatic interaction between the partially positive and negative charges between the ligand and substrate. With this strategy, it has been demonstrated that a wide number of challenging substrates, especially 4-substituted substrates, can selectively be borylated at the meta position. Moreover, unsubstituted substrates also displayed excellent meta selectivity. The reaction employs a bench-stable ligand and proceeds at a milder temperature, precluding the need to synthesize a bulky and sophisticated ligand/template.

Synthesis of thiocarbamoyl fluorides and isothiocyanates using amines with CF3SO2Cl

A practical and efficient method to synthesize thiocarbamyl fluorides and isothiocyanates from amines with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride was developed. In the presence of the reducing agent triphenylphosphine and sodium iodide, thiocarbamyl fluorides and isothiocyanates were synthesized from secondary/primary amine in moderate to excellent yields, respectively. A broad scope of substrates and good functional group compatibility were observed.

Divergent Strain-Release Amino-Functionalization of [1.1.1]Propellane with Electrophilic Nitrogen-Radicals

Herein we report the development of a photocatalytic strategy for the divergent preparation of functionalized bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylamines. This approach exploits, for the first time, the ability of nitrogen-radicals to undergo strain-release reaction with [1.1.1]propellane. This reactivity is facilitated by the electrophilic nature of these open-shell intermediates and the presence of strong polar effects in the transition-state for C?N bond formation/ring-opening. With the aid of a simple reductive quenching photoredox cycle, we have successfully harnessed this novel radical strain-release amination as part of a multicomponent cascade compatible with several external trapping agents. Overall, this radical strategy enables the rapid construction of novel amino-functionalized building blocks with potential application in medicinal chemistry programs as p-substituted aniline bioisosteres.

1,2-Difunctionalization of Aryl Triflates: A Direct and Modular Access to Diversely Functionalized Anilines

ortho-Amino difunctionalization of aryl triflates has been achieved via a three-component reaction. The cascade reaction proceeds through a zincate base-mediated deprotonative formation of a reactive aryne intermediate, in situ nucleophilic addition, and coupling with electrophilic partners. This strategy leverages the advantageous reactivity of organozincate intermediates, enabling the installation of various functionalities such as amine, azide, oxygen, sulfur, halide, alkynyl, aryl, vinyl, and alkyl groups in a modular manner for the synthesis of diverse aniline skeletons.

Reaction of N-phenyltriflamide with 1,2-dibromoethane and propargyl bromide. Unexpected cleavage of С–С and С–N bonds

Reaction of N-phenyltriflamide with 1,2-dibromoethane under basic conditions in DMSO unexpectedly results in N-methyl-N-phenyltriflamide and 1,3-diphenylurea. The presumed reaction mechanism includes the formation of unstable intermediate disubstitution product TfN(Ph)CH2CH2N(Ph)Tf that suffers the the С–С bond cleavage resulting in TfN(Me)Ph and N,N′-methanediylbis(N-phenyltriflamide). The latter reacts with K2CO3releasing two molecules of potassium triflinate and after hydrolysis of diphenylcarbodiimide PhN=C=NPh gives 1,3-diphenylurea. With propargyl bromide, N-phenyltriflamide affords N-propargyl-Nphenyltriflamide in high yield. The bromination of the latter results in a mixture of Z,E-isomers of N-(2,3-dibromoprop-2-en-1-yl)-N-phenyltriflamide which undergo dehydrobromination giving first N-(3-bromopropanedienyl)-N-phenyltriflamide and then the products of the C–N bond cleavage: N-phenyltriflamide and 3,3-dimethoxyprop-1-yne.

Stereospecific synthesis of secondary amines by the Mitsunobu reaction

A facile synthesis of secondary amines from alcohols is reported with N-methyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide (2) in the Mitsunobu reaction. The reaction was demonstrated to proceed with inversion of configuration and provided a convenient synthetic route to
