The importance of aromatic C-O, C-N, and C-S bonds necessitates increasingly efficient strategies for their formation. Herein, we report a biomimetic approach that converts phenolic C-H bonds into C-O, C-N, and C-S bonds at the sole expense of reducing dioxygen (O2) to water (H 2O). Our method hinges on a regio- and chemoselective copper-catalyzed aerobic oxygenation to provide ortho-quinones. ortho-Quinones are versatile intermediates, whose direct catalytic aerobic synthesis from phenols enables a mild and efficient means of synthesizing polyfunctional aromatic rings. The direct approach: Polyfunctional aromatic rings have been generated by direct functionalization of C-H bonds to C-O, C-N, and C-S bonds at the sole expense of reducing O2 to H2O. The method hinges on a regio- and chemoselective, copper-catalyzed aerobic oxygenation of phenols to provide ortho-quinones (see scheme), thus mimicking the ubiquitous biosynthetic pathway of melanogenesis.

3-Iodothyronamine (1, T1AM) is a naturally occurring derivative of thyroid hormone that can potently activate the orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) known as the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR 1). We have previously found that modifying the outer ring of the phenoxyphenethylamine core scaffold of 1 can improve potency and provide potent agonists. In this study, we explored the tolerance of rat and mouse TAAR 1 (rTAAR1 and mTAAR1) for structural modifications in the ethylamine portion of 1. We found that incorporating unsaturated hydrocarbon substituents and polar, hydrogen-bond-accepting groups were beneficial for rTAAR1 and mTAAR1, respectively, providing compounds that were equipotent or more potent than 1. Additionally, we have discovered that a naphthyl group is an excellent isosteric replacement for the iodophenyl ring of 1.
