Electrochemical strategies for: N -cyanation of secondary amines and α C -cyanation of tertiary amines under transition metal-free conditions

Transition metal-free electrochemical approaches for the N-cyanation of secondary amines and the α C-cyanation of tertiary amines have been well established, with products being obtained in moderate to good yields and with good functional group tolerance under ambient conditions. The synthetic application of the protocols has been highlighted through scale-up experiments in a galvanostatic mode. Preliminary mechanistic investigation has confirmed that TBAB played a critical role in N-cyanation transformation and has indicated that the transformation might proceed via a free radical process. This journal is

Nano cobalt-copper ferrite catalyzed regioselective α-C(sp3)–H cyanation of amines: Secondary, tertiary, and drug molecules

Oxidative cyanation of sp3C–H bonds at the α position of amines was achieved using CoCuFe2O4 as a catalyst and NaCN as an inexpensive cyanide source at room temperature. CoCuFe2O4 was found to be an active catalyst for Csp [3]-Csp coupling, efficiently delivering valuable α-aminonitriles from tertiary/secondary amines in good yields. The corresponding products were obtained with high selectivity toward α position. In addition, functional group tolerance offered the opportunity for application in late-stage functionalization of biologically active molecules. This transformation proceeds convenient on a gram-scale, and the catalyst can be reused for several runs with consistent catalytic activity.

Iron-Catalyzed α-C-H Cyanation of Simple and Complex Tertiary Amines

This manuscript details the development of a general and mild protocol for the α-C-H cyanation of tertiary amines and its application in late-stage functionalization. Suitable substrates include tertiary aliphatic, benzylic, and aniline-type substrates and complex substrates. Functional groups tolerated under the reaction conditions include various heterocycles and ketones, amides, olefins, and alkynes. This broad substrate scope is remarkable, as comparable reaction protocols for α-C-H cyanation frequently occur via free radical mechanisms and are thus fundamentally limited in their functional group tolerance. In contrast, the presented catalyst system tolerates functional groups that typically react with free radicals, suggesting an alternative reaction pathway. All components of the described catalyst system are readily available, allowing implementation of the presented methodology without the need for lengthy catalyst synthesis.

Iron-catalyzed reductive strecker reaction

Strecker reaction is widely applied for the synthesis of amino acids from aldehydes, amines and cyanides. Herein, we report the FeI2-catalyzed reductive Strecker type reaction of formamides instead of aldehydes to produce amino acetonitriles. The challenging capture of carbinolamine intermediates by CN? was achieved via Fe catalysis. This approach afforded better yields than the use of Ir- or Rh-catalysts. The application ability of this methodology is demonstrated by 1) one-pot construction of (13C labeled) complex molecules from CO2 via amino acetonitrile intermediates and 2) convenient production of homologated carboxylic acids from aldehydes.

Metal-based surface active ionic liquids: Self-assembling characteristics and C[sbnd]C bond functionalization of tertiary amines with TMSCN in aqueous micellar solutions

Electron Donor-Acceptor Complex-Initiated Photochemical Cyanation for the Preparation of α-Amino Nitriles

An electron donor-acceptor complex-initiated α-cyanation of tertiary amines has been described. The reaction protocol provides a novel method to synthesize various α-amino nitriles under mild conditions. The reaction can proceed smoothly without the presence of photocatalysts and transition metal catalysts, and either oxidants are unnecessary or O2 is the only oxidant. The practicality of this method is showcased not only by the late-stage functionalization of natural alkaloid derivatives and pharmaceutical intermediate, but also by the applicability of a stop-flow microtubing reactor.

Covalently hooked EOSIN-Y in a Zr(IV) framework as visible-light mediated, heterogeneous photocatalyst for efficient C–H functionalization of tertiary amines

Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel heterogeneous photo-catalyst by utilizing post-synthetic modification of an amine functionalized Zr(IV) metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2) through covalent hooking of EOSIN-Y via dehydrating coupling. The characterization of the catalyst was accomplished by FT-IR, XRD, BET surface analysis, TGA, as well as TEM, SEM, XPS, DRS-UV–visible, and NMR spectroscopy, confirming successful covalent linking of EOSIN-Y with the pendent –NH2 functionality in the framework. That post-modified EY@UiO-66-NH2 acts as simple and green visible light mediated photo-catalyst for the C–H activation of tertiary amines with excellent yields. Importantly, the activity of dye incorporated heterogeneous photo-catalyst is found superior to that for the homogeneous photo-catalyst EOSIN-Y. Thus, separation difficulty of homogeneous catalysis, as well as the environmental adverse effects of toxic EOSIN-Y can be excluded by developing such photo-catalyst. Moreover, EY@UiO-66-NH2 catalyst could be consistently recycled up to 10 cycles, without any significant loss in activity. Based on literature report and experimental findings, we also propose a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

A metal-free direct C (sp3)-H cyanation reaction with cyanobenziodoxolones

A metal-free protocol of direct C(sp3)-H cyanation with cyanobenziodoxolones functioning as both cyanating reagents and oxidants was developed. Unactivated substrates, such as alkanes, ethers and tertiary amines, were thereby transformed to the corresponding nitriles in moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies indicated that the cyanation proceeded with two potential pathways, which is highly dependent on the substrates: (1) a free radical case for alkanes and ethers and (2) an oxidative case for tertiary amines.
