Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C-H Activation: Ligand-Controlled Regioselective Synthesis of 4-Methyl-Substituted Dihydroisoquinolones

Rh-catalyzed C-H functionalization of O-pivaloyl benzhydroxamic acids with propene gas provides access to 4-methyl-substituted dihydroisoquinolones. Good to excellent levels of regioselectivity are achieved using [CptRhCl2]2 as a precatalyst under optimized conditions. Thorough examination of aryl/heteroaryl O-pivaloyl hydroxamic acid substrates, ligand effects on C-H site selectivity, alkene scope, and demonstration of scale are discussed within.

Schmidt reaction on substituted 1-indanones / N-alkylation: Synthesis of benzofused six-membered ring lactams and their evaluation as antimicrobial agents

Background: The presence of bicyclic lactams is reflected in various pharmaceuticals, natural products, agrochemicals and active components of various dyes. Nowadays, to see the increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance and high incidence of microbial infections, there is a strong need to develop novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, we synthesized some benzofused six membered ring lactams and their alkyl derivatives as a trial to obtain valuable precursors for the discovery of future an-timicrobial drugs. Methods: The substituted lactams 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinones 3a-c and 3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-isoquinolinones 4a-c were synthesized by Schmidt reaction on indanones 2a-c which were obtained by Friedel-Crafts reaction on β-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids 1a-c. Lactams 6 and 7 were obtained by N-alkylation on benzofused lactams 3a-c and 4a-c in good to excellent yields. Structures of all products were well characterized by the rigorous analysis of their IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The in vitro antimicrobial activities of all the synthesized compounds 6 and 7 were determined against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and the fungal species Candida albi-cans using broth macrodilution method. Results: The Schmidt reaction of 3-methylindanone, 3-phenylindanone and 3,3-dimethylindanone using methane sulphonic acid was found to behave differently with respect to isolated yield as well as isomeric ratio of both lactams. Bacterial growth inhibition was observed with bicyclic lactam derivatives although their MIC values were higher than ampicillin. The significant inhibitory effects were shown by majority of compounds with MIC values 125-250 μg/ml. Antifungal activity of bicyclic lactam derivatives was observed against C. albicans. However, MICs values of all tested compounds were higher compared to standard antifungal agent miconazole. Conclusion: The four Schmidt experimental conditions were tried with the aim of achieving both 6-membered ring lactams in equal ratio and NaN3/MeSO3H was identified to fulfill our purpose. As evident by structure-activity relationship, the tested compounds have not resulted in superior antibacterial or anti-fungal compounds compared to standard antimicrobials. Hence, there is still a need to carry out further modifications in bicyclic lactams structure in order to more efficacious antimicrobial lead molecules.

AROMATIC KETONE SYNTHESIS WITH AMIDE REAGENTS AND RELATED REACTIONS

A method of preparing an aryl carbonyl or aryl thiocarbonyl compound, comprises reacting an N-(nitroaryl)-amide or N-(nitroaryl)-thioamide with an aromatic ring, with a superacid catalyst, to produce the aryl carbonyl or aryl thiocarbonyl compound. The superacid is present in an amount of at most 8 equivalents in proportion to the N-(nitroaryl)-amide or N-(nitroaryl)-thioamide. A method of preparing aryl amide or aryl thioamide, comprises reacting an N-(nitroaryl)-carbamide or N-(nitroaryl)-thiocarbamide with an aromatic ring, with a superacid catalyst, to produce the aryl amide or aryl thioamide.

Activation of electrophilicity of stable Y-delocalized carbamate cations in intramolecular aromatic substitution reaction: Evidence for formation of diprotonated carbamates leading to generation of isocyanates

Although cations with three heteroatoms, such as monoprotonated guanidine and urea, are stabilized by Y-shaped conjugation and such Y-conjugated cations are sufficiently basic to be further protonated (or protosolvated) to dications in strongly acid media, only O-monoprotonated species have been detected in the case of carbamates even in magic acid. We found that the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-catalyzed cyclization of arylethylcarbamates proceeds to afford dihydroisoquinolones in high yield. In strong acids, methyl carbamates are fully O-monoprotonated, and these monocations do not undergo cyclization even under heating. But, as the acidity of the reaction medium is further increased, the cyclization reaction of methyl phenethylcarbamates starts to proceed as a first-order reaction, with a linear relationship between rate and acidity. The sign and magnitude of the entropy of activation ΔS ? were found to be similar to those of other AAc1 reactions. These results strongly support the idea that further protonation of the O-protonated carbamates is involved in the cyclization, but the concentration of the dications is very low and suggests that the rate-determining step is dissociation of methanol from the diprotonated carbamate to generate protonated isocyanate, which reacts with the aromatic ring. Therefore, O-protonated carbamates are weak bases in sharp contrast to other Y-shaped monocations.

Friedel-Crafts-type reactions with ureas and thioureas

Despite the relatively low reactivities of urea and thiourea functional groups towards nucleophilic attack, we have found conditions in which they are useful substrates in Friedel-Crafts reactions. The Bronsted superacid, triflic acid, promotes these reactions and a mechanism is proposed involving dicationic, superelectrophilic intermediates.

INTRAMOLECULAR AMIDATION OF ARYLALKYLHYDROXAMIC ACIDS

It is shown that mixtures of two isomeric benzolactams, viz., compounds of the benzamide and anilide type, are formed in the intramolecular amidation of arylalkylhydroxamic acids under the influence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA).A general reaction scheme that includes three pathways, viz., direct amidation, Losen rearrangement of the hydroxamic acids with subsequent cyclization of the isocyanates, and Beckmann rearrangement of the oximes of the cyclic ketones formed in the thermal cleavage of the starting hydroxamic acids in PPA, is proposed on the basis of a study of racemic and optically active arylalkylhydroxamic acids.
