The intramolecular Schmidt reaction of azides with tertiary alcohols: Synthesis of 5-(α-naphthyl)- and 5-(β-naphthyl)indolizidines as potential dopamine analogs and non-opiate antinociceptive agents

Intramolecular Schmidt reaction of the azido alcohols 9, 11, and 12 afforded the 5-naphthylindolizidines 10, 13, and 14, respectively. The naphthylmethylamine subunit present in each has an amine and a π-system oriented in a fashion similar to the β-phenethylamine subunit of dopamine and many of its agonists and antagonists. These analogs also closely resemble the bicyclic tertiary amines 8, which have recently been found to exhibit non-opiate analgesic activity. Testing of 10, 13, and 14 for dopaminergic activity is described.

Hydrogen-Bond-Donor Solvents Enable Catalyst-Free (Radio)-Halogenation and Deuteration of Organoborons

A hydrogen bond donor solvent assisted (radio)halogenation and deuteration of organoborons has been developed. The reactions exhibited high functional group tolerance and needed only an ambient atmosphere. Most importantly, compared to literature methods, our conditions are more consistent with the principals of green chemistry (e.g., metal-free, strong oxidant-free, more straightforward conditions).

Gold(i)-catalyzed Nicholas reaction with aromatic molecules utilizing a bifunctional propargyl dicobalt hexacarbonyl complex

A benchtop-stable reagent for the catalytic Nicholas reaction was developed. By combining a propargyl dicobalt hexacarbonyl cluster with an ortho-alkynylbenzoate unit and a fluorous tag, introduction of a propargyl hexacarbonyl complex on various aromatic compounds having acid- or base-sensitive functional groups becomes possible by using a gold(i) catalyst. In addition, the presence of a fluorous tag facilitates convenient separation of the target products from byproducts.
