Iron-Nitrate-Catalyzed Oxidative Esterification of Aldehydes and Alcohols with N-Hydroxyphthalimide: Efficient Synthesis of N-Hydroxyimide Esters

An Fe(NO3)3·9H2O-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction between N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) or N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHSI) and aldehydes or alcohols in air is described. This transformation represents an efficient approach to the preparation of N-hydroxyimide ester derivatives in moderate to excellent yields, and has a wide substrate scope.

Metal-free intermolecular C-O cross-coupling reactions: Synthesis of: N -hydroxyimide esters

Selectfluor-mediated intermolecular C-O cross coupling reaction for the synthesis of N-hydroxyimide esters was developed for the first time. The reaction is applicable to the coupling of readily available aryl and alkyl aldehydes with N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHSI). The resulting active esters can be directly converted into amides in one pot.

General method for the preparation of active esters by palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aryl bromides

A useful method was developed for the synthesis of active esters by palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of (hetero)aromatic bromides. The protocol was general for a range of oxygen nucleophiles including N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), pentafluorophenol (PFP), hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol (HFP), 4-nitrophenol, and N-hydroxyphthalimide. A high functional group tolerance was displayed, and several active esters were prepared with good to excellent isolated yields. The protocol was extended to access an important synthetic precursor to the HIV-protease inhibitor, saquinavir, by formation of an NHS ester followed by acyl substitution.

Extremely fast gas/liquid reactions in flow microreactors: Carboxylation of short-lived organolithiums

Carboxylation of short-lived organolithiums bearing electrophilic functional groups such as nitro, cyano, and alkoxycarbonyl groups with CO 2 to give carboxylic acids and active esters was accomplished in a flow microreactor system. The successful reactions indicate that gas/liquid mass transfer and the subsequent chemical reaction with CO2 are extremely fast. Carboxylation of short-lived organolithiums bearing electrophilic functional groups such as nitro, cyano, and alkoxycarbonyl groups with CO 2 to give carboxylic acids and active esters was accomplished in a flow microreactor system. The successful reactions indicate that gas/liquid mass transfer and the subsequent chemical reaction with CO2 are extremely fast (see scheme).

Benextramine-neuropeptide Y receptor interactions: Contribution of the benzylic moieties to [3H]neuropeptide Y displacement activity

Analogs of N,N'-bis[6-[(2-methoxybenzyl)amino]hex-1-yl]cystamine (benextramine, BXT, 2) were synthesized using solution-phase peptide synthesis methodology and analyzed for activity in displacing specifically bound 1 nM N-[propionyl-3H]neuropeptide Y([3H]NPY) from benextramine- sensitive neuropeptide Y (NPY) binding sites in rat brain. Our new synthetic approach to these analogs began with the acylation of cystamine with the N- hydroxysuccinimide ester of tert-butyloxycarbonyl (t-Boc) protected 6- aminohexanoic acid, followed by deprotection of the t-Boc groups with 4 N HCl in dioxane. Acylation of this symmetric diamine with N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of appropriately substituted benzoic acids, followed by reduction of the resultant tetraamides with diborane in refluxing THF, afforded the target compounds. The BXT analog lacking the benzylic group (i.e., compound 11) had no [3H]NPY displacement activity at concentrations up to 1.4 x 10-3 M. The 9-fold range in activities observed for the ortho, meta, and para regioisomers of the methoxy, chloro, and hydroxy benextramine analogs at benextramine-sensitive NPY rat brain binding sites does not differ from the range of potencies observed at α-adrenoceptors. However, the order of potencies at [3H]NPY sites differs from the order of potencies at α- adrenoceptors, with the m-methoxyphenyl (9a), m-hydroxyphenyl (10b), and 2- naphthyl (9f) analogs being the most active at [3H]NPY binding sites. The present results demonstrate the importance of the benzylic moiety for BXT's NPY antagonist activity, and suggest that the BXT binding site on the NPY receptor is significantly distinct from that on the α-adrenoceptor.
