Liquid-assisted grinding has been successfully applied to eliminate the requirements of chemical activators and anhydrous solvents in nickel-catalyzed, manganese-mediated cross-electrophile coupling between aryl and alkyl bromides. In addition to the traditional reaction parameters, mechanical ones,e.g.the rotational speed of mill, the filling degree of jar and ball size, have been found to affect the catalytic efficiency remarkably, implying the involvement of the regeneration of nickel(0) species in the rate-determining steps. A combined evaluation of the reaction and mechanical parameters led to an optimal condition under which a variety ofn-alky aromatics with various functional groups could be readily obtained in good yields with a 1 mol% catalyst loading. The practical application of liquid-assisted grinding-enabled aryl/alkyl cross-electrophile coupling has been demonstrated in the gram-scale synthesis of 6-methoxytetralone.

A general method is presented for the synthesis of alkylated arenes by the chemoselective combination of two electrophilic carbons. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides are reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. Under similar conditions, activated aryl chlorides can also be coupled with bromoalkanes. The protocols are highly functional-group tolerant (-OH, -NHTs, -OAc, -OTs, -OTf, -COMe, -NHBoc, -NHCbz, -CN, -SO2Me), and the reactions are assembled on the benchtop with no special precautions to exclude air or moisture. The reaction displays different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Hiyama-Denmark reactions. Substrates bearing both an electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon result in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]) for organoboron (-Bpin), organotin (-SnMe3), and organosilicon (-SiMe2OH) containing organic halides (X-R-[M]). A Hammett study showed a linear correlation of σ and σ(-) parameters with the relative rate of reaction of substituted aryl bromides with bromoalkanes. The small ρ values for these correlations (1.2-1.7) indicate that oxidative addition of the bromoarene is not the turnover-frequency determining step. The rate of reaction has a positive dependence on the concentration of alkyl bromide and catalyst, no dependence upon the amount of zinc (reducing agent), and an inverse dependence upon aryl halide concentration. These results and studies with an organic reductant (TDAE) argue against the intermediacy of organozinc reagents.

Organozinc compounds of functionalized alkyl iodide carrying an alkoxycarbonyl, cyano or alkenyl group were prepared in high yields under mild conditions (0°C-r.t., 10min in DMF) by the reaction of iodides with an electrogenerated reactive zinc (EGZn). Cross-coupling of the organozinc compounds with various aryl halides in the presence of 5 mol% Pd(P(o- Tol)3)2Cl2 in THF gave the corresponding cross-coupled products in moderate to high yields. These cross-coupling reactions can be also achieved in one step and in one pot by the use of an electrochemical method utilizing a Pt cathode and Zn anode.

Several novel 4-alkyloxy-aminoalkyl indole derivatives 3 were synthesized from 4-benzyloxyindole (1). Alkylation of 1 with 4-(2-chloroethyl)morpholine (NaH/HMPA) formed 2. Deprotection using palladium hydroxide on carbon/hydrogen followed by alkylation with the appropriate alkyl bromide gave the target compounds 3b-3j, the appropriate alkyl bromides 13 and 17 were prepared from the commercially available 1-naphthylethyl bromide 9 using the chain lengthening sequences as shown in Scheme 3. In receptor binding assay and in vivo testing, the long chain alkoxy compounds 3g and 3h (K(i)=127 nM) showed affinity for the CB1 receptor which was approximately 16-35-fold less than that of WIN 55,225. However, the pharmacological profile of 3h mimics that of WIN 55,212. An examination of the SAR of these analogues shows that translocating the napthyl group in AAIs from the C-3 position to C-4 via an oxygen (ether linkage) decreases activity which is in contrast to previous findings that a naphthylcarbonyl at C-4 retains activity. The present work points to the importance of the role of a keto group in the interaction with the receptor. Molecular modeling work suggest that, although reasonable superposition of key structural features between Δ9-THC and AAIs can be made, the overlay is not straightforward. The present study also illustrates the difficulty in accommodating AAIs into the cannabinoid pharmacophore and it seems likely that a unique pharmacophore will need to be developed. Only then will the similarities to and differences from the classical cannabinoid pharmacophore be clearly delineated.
