Ring-closing metathesis of vinyl fluorides towards α-fluorinated α,β-unsaturated lactams and lactones

Ring-closing olefin metathesis reactions (RCM) using Grubbs II or Hoveyda's catalysts have been applied to a series of N-alkenyl-N-benzyl-α-fluoroacrylamides. α-Fluoro-α,β-unsaturated γ- or δ-lactams incorporating a fluorinated double bond were obtained in moderate to good yields, depending on the nature of substituents on the benzyl ring. The corresponding seven- and eight-membered lactams were not formed under similar conditions. When the N-benzyl group was replaced by an N-tosyl group, the corresponding ε-lactam was also formed in 38% yield. When N-(2-fluoroallyl) derivatives were used instead of fluoroacryloyl derivatives, six-, seven-, and eight-membered N-heterocycles were obtained in low yields. This method was also used to synthesize fluorinated α,β-unsaturated analogues of pyrrolizidine and indolizidine alkaloids from prolinol, and also to synthesize N-benzyl-3-fluoroquinolone in three steps from commercially available 2-vinylaniline in 44% overall yield. Also 3-fluorocoumarin and 3-fluorochromene were prepared from ovinylphenol, and 3-fluoro-benzoxepine was available from o-allylphenol.

Quinim: A New Ligand Scaffold Enables Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Alkylated ?-Lactam

Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction of easily accessible 3-butenyl carbamoyl chloride with primary alkyl iodide to access the chiral α-alkylated pyrrolidinone with broad substrate scope and high enantiomeric excess. The current art of synthesis still remains challenging on the enantioselective α-monoalkylation of pyrrolidinones. The newly designed chiral 8-quinoline imidazoline ligand (Quinim) is crucial for maintaining the reactivity and enantioselectivity to ensure the reductive cyclization of monosubstituted alkenes for unprecedented synthesis of chiral non-aromatic heterocycles.

Cs2CO3-Promoted Direct N-Alkylation: Highly Chemoselective Synthesis of N-Alkylated Benzylamines and Anilines

Herein is described an efficient and chemoselective method for the synthesis of diversely substituted secondary amines in yields up to 98 %. Direct mono-N-alkylation of primary benzylamines and anilines with a wide range of alkyl halides is promoted by a cesium base in the absence of any additive or catalyst. The basicity and solubility of cesium carbonate in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide not only enables mono-N-alkylation of primary amines but also suppresses undesired dialkylation of the desired amines.

Modification of cap group in δ-lactam-based histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors

Novel δ-lactam-based HDAC inhibitors which have various substituted benzyl, bi-aromatic cap groups were prepared using ring closure metathesis reaction, and evaluated their HDAC inhibitory activities and anti-proliferative effects. Among prepared analogue
