PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrially simple production method of a cyclic compound. SOLUTION: A production method of a cyclic compound includes a step to obtain a reduced form (B) by reducing an unsaturated bond in a ring structure of an aromatic compound (A) by means of catalytic hydrogenation of the aromatic compound (A) or its salt using palladium carbon as a catalyst under a normal pressure, in which the aromatic compound (A) has one or more ring structures selected from a group consisting of a five membered-ring, a six membered-ring, and a condensed ring of the five membered-ring or the six membered-ring with another six membered-ring, a hetero atom can be included in the ring structure, and the aromatic compound (A) can have one or two side chains bonded to the ring structure and does not have any carbon-carbon triple bond in the side chain.

We report a highly atom-efficient integrated cofactor/co-product recycling cascade employing cycloalkylamines as multifaceted starting materials for the synthesis of nylon building blocks. Reactions using E. coli whole cells as well as purified enzymes produced excellent conversions ranging from >80 and 95 % into desired ω-amino acids, respectively with varying substrate concentrations. The applicability of this tandem biocatalytic cascade was demonstrated to produce the corresponding lactams by employing engineered biocatalysts. For instance, ?-caprolactam, a valuable polymer building block was synthesized with 75 % conversion from 10 mM cyclohexylamine by employing whole-cell biocatalysts. This cascade could be an alternative for bio-based production of ω-amino acids and corresponding lactam compounds.

Peptide bond formation is a challenging, environmentally and economically demanding transformation. Catalysis is key to circumvent current bottlenecks. To date, many homogeneous catalysts able to provide synthetically useful methods have been developed, while heterogeneous catalysts remain largely restricted to the studies addressing the prebiotic formation of peptides. Here, the catalytic activity of Zr6-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) toward peptide bond formation is investigated using dipeptide cyclization as a model reaction. Unlike previous catalysts, Zr-MOFs largely tolerate water, and reactions are carried out under ambient conditions. Notably, the catalyst is recyclable and no additives to activate the COOH group are necessary, which are common limitations of previous methods. In addition, a broad reaction scope tolerates substrates with bulky and Lewis basic groups. The reaction mechanism was assessed by detailed mechanistic and computational studies and features a Lewis acid activation of carboxylate groups by Zr centers toward amine addition in which an alkoxy ligand on adjacent Zr sites assists in lowering the barrier of key proton transfers. The proposed concepts were also used to study the formation of intermolecular peptide bond formation. While intrinsic challenges associated with the catalyst structure and water removal limit a more general intermolecular reaction scope under current conditions, the results suggest that further design of Zr-MOF catalysts could render these materials broadly useful as heterogeneous catalysts for this challenging transformation.

Lactams are cyclic amides that are indispensable as drugs and as drug candidates. Conventional lactamization includes acid-mediated and coupling-agent-mediated approaches that suffer from narrow substrate scope, much waste, and/or high cost. Inexpensive, less-wasteful approaches mediated by highly electrophilic reagents are attractive, but there is an imminent risk of side reactions. Herein, a methods using highly electrophilic triphosgene in a microflow reactor that accomplishes rapid (0.5–10 s), mild, inexpensive, and less-wasteful lactamization are described. Methods A and B, which use N-methylmorpholine and N-methylimidazole, respectively, were developed. Various lactams and a cyclic peptide containing acid- and/or heat-labile functional groups were synthesized in good to high yields without the need for tedious purification. Undesired reactions were successfully suppressed, and the risk of handling triphosgene was minimized by the use of microflow technology.

The reductive amination of carboxylic acids is a very green, efficient and sustainable method for the production of (bio-based) amines. However, with current technology, this reaction requires two to three reaction steps. Here, we report the first (heterogeneous) catalytic system for the one-pot reductive amination of carboxylic acids to amines, with solely H2 and NH3 as the reactants. This reaction can be performed with relatively cheap ruthenium-tungsten bimetallic catalysts in the green and benign solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME). Selectivities of up to 99% for the primary amine could be achieved at high conversions. Additionally, the catalyst is recyclable and tolerant for common impurities such as water and cations (e.g. sodium carboxylate).

Can Heteroarenes/Arenes Be Hydrogenated Over Catalytic Pd/C Under Ambient Conditions?
Tanaka, Nao,Usuki, Toyonobu
, p. 5514 - 5522 (2020/07/24)
Hydrogenation of over a dozen aromatic compounds, including both heteroarenes and arenes, over palladium on carbon (Pd/C, 1–100 molpercent) with H2-balloon pressure at room temperature is reported. Analyses using pyridine as a model substrate revealed that acetic acid was the best solvent, as using only 1 molpercent Pd/C provided piperidine quantitatively. Substrate scope analysis and density functional theory calculations indicated that reaction rates are highly dependent on frontier molecular orbital characteristics and the steric bulkiness of substituents. Moreover, the established method was used for the concise synthesis of the anti-Alzheimer drug donepezil (Aricept?).

Dehydrogenative amide bond formation from alcohols and amines has been regarded as an atom-economic and sustainable process. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based Ru catalytic systems have attracted growing interest due to the outstanding properties of NHCs as ligands. Herein, an NHC/Ru complex (1) was prepared and its structure was further confirmed with X-ray crystallography. In the presence of Cs2CO3, two NHC/Ru-based catalytic systems were disclosed to be active for this amide synthesis. System A, which did not contain any added ligand, required a catalyst loading of 1.00 mol%. Interestingly, improved catalytic performance was realized by the addition of an NHC precursor (L). Optimization of the amounts of L and other conditions gave rise to system B, a much more potent system with the Ru loading as low as 0.25 mol%. Moreover, an NHC-Ru-carbonate complex 6 was identified from the refluxing toluene of 1 and Cs2CO3, and further investigations revealed that 6 was an important intermediate for this catalytic reaction. Based on the above results, we claimed that the role of Cs2CO3 was to facilitate the formation of key intermediate 6. On the other hand, it provided the optimized basicity for the selective amide formation.
Water-Tolerant and Atom Economical Amide Bond Formation by Metal-Substituted Polyoxometalate Catalysts

, p. 10245 - 10252 (2019/11/03)
A simple, safe, and inexpensive amide bond formation directly from nonactivated carboxylic acids and free amines is presented in this work. Readily available Zr(IV)- and Hf(IV)-substituted polyoxometalates (POM) are shown to be catalysts for the amide bond formation reaction under mild conditions, low catalyst loading, and without the use of water scavengers, dry solvents, additives for facilitating the amine attack, or specialized experimental setups commonly employed to remove water. Detailed mechanistic investigations revealed the key role of POM scaffolds which act as inorganic ligands to protect Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) Lewis acidic metals against hydrolysis and preserve their catalytic activity in amide bond formation reactions. The catalysts are compatible with a range of functional groups and heterocycles useful for medicinal, agrochemical, and material chemists. The robustness of the Lewis acid-POM complexes is further supported by the catalyst reuse without loss of activity. This prolific combination of Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) and POMs inaugurates a powerful class of catalysts for the amide bond formation, which overcomes key limitations of previously established Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) salts and boron-based catalysts.
