Efficient C-H Amination Catalysis Using Nickel-Dipyrrin Complexes

A dipyrrin-supported nickel catalyst (AdFL)Ni(py) (AdFL: 1,9-di(1-adamantyl)-5-perfluorophenyldipyrrin; py: pyridine) displays productive intramolecular C-H bond amination to afford N-heterocyclic products using aliphatic azide substrates. The catalytic amination conditions are mild, requiring 0.1-2 mol% catalyst loading and operational at room temperature. The scope of C-H bond substrates was explored and benzylic, tertiary, secondary, and primary C-H bonds are successfully aminated. The amination chemoselectivity was examined using substrates featuring multiple activatable C-H bonds. Uniformly, the catalyst showcases high chemoselectivity favoring C-H bonds with lower bond dissociation energy as well as a wide range of functional group tolerance (e.g., ethers, halides, thioetheres, esters, etc.). Sequential cyclization of substrates with ester groups could be achieved, providing facile preparation of an indolizidine framework commonly found in a variety of alkaloids. The amination cyclization reaction mechanism was examined employing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the reaction kinetic profile. A large, primary intermolecular kinetic isotope effect (KIE = 31.9 ± 1.0) suggests H-atom abstraction (HAA) is the rate-determining step, indicative of H-atom tunneling being operative. The reaction rate has first order dependence in the catalyst and zeroth order in substrate, consistent with the resting state of the catalyst as the corresponding nickel iminyl radical. The presence of the nickel iminyl was determined by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy observed during catalysis. The activation parameters (ΔH? = 13.4 ± 0.5 kcal/mol; ΔS?= -24.3 ± 1.7 cal/mol·K) were measured using Eyring analysis, implying a highly ordered transition state during the HAA step. The proposed mechanism of rapid iminyl formation, rate-determining HAA, and subsequent radical recombination was corroborated by intramolecular isotope labeling experiments and theoretical calculations.

Approaches to primary tert-alkyl amines as building blocks

Primary tert-alkyl amines include analogues of amantadine, a fragment commonly linked to pharmacophoric groups to enhance biological activity. The preparation of primary tert-alkyl amines is considered to be a difficult problem. Four synthetic procedures, some of which have been previously reported for the synthesis of amines with primary (RCH2NH2) or secondary (RR'CHNH2) alkyl and/or aryl groups, were tested for the synthesis of primary tert-alkyl amines (RR′R″CNH2) in aliphatic series including adamantane adducts. These procedures included the formation and reduction of tert-alkyl azides, the Ritter reaction in standard and modified conditions, the addition of organometallic reagents to N-tert-butyl sulfinyl ketimines and one-pot reactions between nitriles and organometallic reagents in the presence of a Lewis acid, Τi(iPrO)4 or CeCl3. These synthetic routes are unexplored for primary tert-alkyl amines. Studies on the synthetic routes for primary tert-alkyl amines are currently lacking. The reaction conditions and substrate limitations were studied for each procedure, with the first procedure being the most general and applicable also for compounds bearing bulky adducts.

A simple and efficient copper oxide-catalyzed Barbier-Grignard reaction of unactivated aryl or alkyl bromides with ester

An efficient one-pot route to synthesize tertiary alcohol compounds using Barbier-Grignard reaction of unactivated alkyl or aryl bromides with ester in THF at 65 C catalyzed by CuO has been developed and systematically investigated. A wide range of substituted tertiary alcohol compounds were obtained in good to high yields. The reaction is highly chemoselective. The mechanism involving the leaving group of R2O-group is discussed.
