Weak base-promoted selective rearrangement of oxaziridines to amidesviavisible-light photoredox catalysis

The selective rearrangement of oxaziridines to amidesviaa single electron transfer (SET) pathway is unexplored. In this study, we present a weak base-promoted selective rearrangement of oxaziridines to amidesviavisible-light photoredox catalysis. The developed method shows excellent functional group tolerance with a broad substrate scope and good to excellent yields. Furthermore, control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to gain insight into the reactivity and selectivity.

Oxidative C?H/C?H Cross-Coupling Reactions between N-Acylanilines and Benzamides Enabled by a Cp*-Free RhCl3/TFA Catalytic System

By making use of a dual-chelation-assisted strategy, a completely regiocontrolled oxidative C?H/C?H cross-coupling reaction between an N-acylaniline and a benzamide has been accomplished for the first time. This process constitutes a step-economic and highly efficient pathway to 2-amino-2′-carboxybiaryl scaffolds from readily available substrates. A Cp*-free RhCl3/TFA catalytic system was developed to replace the [Cp*RhCl2]2/AgSbF6 system generally used in oxidative C?H/C?H cross-coupling reactions between two (hetero)arenes (Cp=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The RhCl3/TFA system avoids the use of the expensive Cp* ligand and AgSbF6. As an illustrative example, the procedure developed herein greatly streamlines the total synthesis of the naturally occurring benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid oxynitidine, which was accomplished in excellent overall yield.

A Visible-Light-Driven, Metal-free Route to Aromatic Amides via Radical Arylation of Isonitriles

The photochemical metal-free carboamidation of aryl radicals has been exploited for the preparation of aromatic amides, including hetero- and polyaromatic derivatives, under visible light irradiation of arylazo sulfones in the presence of isocyanides in aqueous acetonitrile. The process was useful for the smooth preparation of the antidepressant moclobemide. (Figure presented.).

Cp?CoIII-Catalyzed syn-Selective C-H Hydroarylation of Alkynes Using Benzamides: An Approach Toward Highly Conjugated Organic Frameworks

Hydroarylation of internal alkynes by cost-effective CoIII-catalysis, directed by N-tert-butyl amides, is achieved to avail mono- or dihydroarylated amide products selectively in an atom and step economic way. Several important functional groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions, and syn-hydroarylation products were exclusively isolated. Notably, a 4-fold C-H hydroarylation provided a highly conjugated organic framework in one step. Kinetic study with extensive deuterium labeling experiments were performed to support the proposed mechanism.

Application of γ-Valerolactone as an Alternative Biomass-Based Medium for Aminocarbonylation Reactions

γ-Valerolactone (GVL) was proposed as a renewable, nontoxic reaction medium with negligible vapor pressure for homogeneous Pd-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reactions. Iodobenzene as a model substrate and its 4-substituted derivatives were converted to the corresponding 2-ketocarboxamides with high conversions and chemoselectivities in γ-valerolactone. The effect of carbon monoxide pressure and reaction temperature on the conversion and selectivities were studied in the range 1–50 bar and 25–100 °C, respectively. The highest conversion and selectivity was achieved at 25 bar and 50 °C for iodobenzene in GVL for 24 h.

Substituent effects in aminocarbonylation of para-substituted iodobenzenes

Iodobenzene derivatives possessing various substituents (amino, hydroxy, tert-butyl, methyl, isopropyl, phenyl, fluoro, chloro, methoxycarbonyl, acetyl, trifluoromethyl, nitro) in the para position were aminocarbonylated using tert-butylamine and n-butylamine as N-nucleophiles. A palladium(0) catalyst formed in situ from palladium(II) acetate and triphenylphosphine was used. Carboxamide and ketocarboxamide type compounds were formed via single and double carbon monoxide insertion, respectively. While 4-substituents with negative Hammett constants (σp) decrease reactivity of the substrates, the iodoaromatics possessing electron-withdrawing group (characterized by positive Hammett constants (σp)) in the 4-position have shown high reactivity. Highly active catalysts were obtained in the presence of xantphos accompanied by the chemoselective formation of the corresponding carboxamides. The difference in reactivity of iodoarene and bromoarene functionalities enabled the synthesis of bromo-substituted compounds suitable for further functionalization.

TfOH catalyzed One-Pot Schmidt–Ritter reaction for the synthesis of amides through N-acylimides

A One-Pot tandem Schmidt–Ritter process for the synthesis of amides has been developed using the super acid as catalyst. The in situ generated aryl/aliphatic nitriles from the reaction of aldehydes and sodium azide in the presence of TfOH and AcOH (Schmidt reaction) react with suitable alcohol (Ritter reaction) to give the amides. For the first time we observed that during the Schmidt process N-acylimides were generated along with nitriles, interestingly these N-acylimides also participated in the Ritter reaction.

Carboxylate-Assisted Iridium-Catalyzed C-H Amination of Arenes with Biologically Relevant Alkyl Azides

An iridium-catalyzed C-H amination of arenes with a wide substrate scope is reported. Benzamides with electron-donating and -withdrawing groups and linear, branched, and cyclic alkyl azides are all applicable. Cesium carboxylate is crucial for both reactivity and regioselectivity of the reactions. Many biologically relevant molecules, such as amino acid, peptide, steroid, sugar, and thymidine derivatives can be introduced to arenes with high yields and 100 % chiral retention. Ir responsible! A direct C-H amination between benzamide derivatives and various alkyl azides was achieved using iridium catalysis (see scheme; NTf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl amide). Cesium carboxylate was found to be the promoter and regiocontroller of this reaction. By this method, many biological active molecules can be introduced to benzamide components with high yields and 100 % chiral retention.

Cesium Carboxylate-Promoted Iridium Catalyzed C-H Amidation/Cyclization with 2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl Azide

An Ir(III)-catalyzed direct C-H amidation/cyclization of benzamides using 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl azide (TrocN3) as the aminocarbonyl source is reported. With the aid of cesium carboxylate, the reactions proceed efficiently and with high regioselectivity, producing various functionalized quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which are important building blocks and key synthetic intermediates for biologically and medicinally important compounds. During the reactions, two new C-N bonds were formed by breaking C-H and N-H bonds sequence.

Aminocarbonylation of Aryl Tosylates to Carboxamides

The palladium - catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl tosylates with amines is reported. Suitable conditions were identified by high throughput reaction screening and then further optimized. The substrate scope of the reaction with respect to the aryl tosylate component and the amine component are reported. Competitive aminolysis of the aryl tosylates to afford the amine toluenesulfonamides and the phenol was not observed.
