Tetrasubstituted 1,3-Enynes by Gold-Catalyzed Direct C(sp2)-H Alkynylation of Acceptor-Substituted Enamines

A gold-catalyzed synthesis of tetrasubstituted 1,3-enynes from hypervalent iodine(III) reagents and activated alkenes is reported. This reaction involves an in situ formed alkynyl Au(III) species and a subsequent direct C(sp2)-H functionalization of alkenes, offering 26 enynes in 62-92% yield with excellent functional group tolerance.

Cu-Mediated Expeditious Annulation of Alkyl 3-Aminoacrylates with Aryldiazonium Salts: Access to Alkyl N2-Aryl 1,2,3-Triazole-carboxylates for Druglike Molecular Synthesis

Alkyl N-aryl 1,2,3-triazole-carboxylates are important molecules or intermediates in medicinal chemistry, but the synthesis of N2-aryl counterparts remains elusive. Herein, we describe a Cu-mediated annulation reaction of alkyl 3-aminoacrylates with aryldiazonium salts, both of which are readily available substrates. Furthermore, alkyl 2-aminoacrylates are also viable substrates. Diverse alkyl N2-aryl 1,2,3-triazole-carboxylates and their analogues can be rapidly prepared under mild conditions. Especially, this protocol allows one to access several druglike variants of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and celecoxib.

Synthesis of Thiazoles and Isothiazoles via Three-Component Reaction of Enaminoesters, Sulfur, and Bromodifluoroacetamides/Esters

A three-component strategy for the synthesis of thiazoles and isothiazoles has been developed by employing enaminoesters, fluorodibromoiamides/ester, and sulfur. The thiazoles and isothiazoles were formed via two C-F bond cleavages along with the formation of new C-S, C-N, and N-S bonds. The strategy provides high selectivity for the synthesis of thiazoles/isothiazoles, which have vital applications in drug discovery and development.

Divergent Synthesis of Multisubstituted Unsymmetric Pyrroles and Pyrrolin-4-ones from Enamino Esters via Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Dimerization

A facile synthetic method to access multisubstituted unsymmetric pyrrole and pyrrolin-4-one derivatives is disclosed. In the presence of Cu(OAc)2 and KOAc, substituted pyrrole derivatives are produced in good yields (up to 93 %) through oxidative cyclization of enamino esters. Meanwhile, using CuCl2 and TFA (trifluoroacetic acid), pyrrolin-4-one derivatives are obtained in excellent yields (up to 94 %) through 1,2-aryl migration. A wide range of functional groups have been tolerated, and a reliable method for the synthesis of valuable multisubstituted pyrroles and pyrrolin-4-ones has been developed.

Synthesis of trifluoromethylated 2H-azirines through Togni reagent-mediated trifluoromethylation followed by PhIO-mediated azirination

The reaction of enamine compounds with the Togni reagent in the presence of CuI afforded β-trifluoromethylated enamine intermediates, which were converted directly to biologically interesting trifluoromethylated 2H-azirines by an iodosobenzene (PhIO)-mediated intramolecular azirination in a one-pot process.

Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Reaction of Enamino Esters with ortho-Halogenated Aromatic Carbonyls: One-Pot Approach to Functionalized Quinolines

An efficient and practical approach for the synthesis of functionalized quinolines has been developed by using the copper-catalyzed tandem C–C bond formation and C–N coupling reaction of enamino esters and ortho-halogenated aromatic carbonyl compounds. Various functional groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions, and a series of quinolines were easily obtained in moderate to good yields. A gram-scale reaction was also performed to demonstrate a further application of this synthetic method.

Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of β-(acylamino)acrylates: Synthesis of chiral β-amino acid derivatives

The nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-(acylamino)acrylates has been developed, affording chiral β-amino acid derivatives with excellent yields (95-99% yield) and enantioselectivities (97-99% ee). With the Ni-Binapine system, high enantioselectivities (98-99% ee) have also been obtained in the hydrogenation of Z/E isomeric mixtures of β-alkyl and β-aryl β-(acylamino)acrylates. The synthesis of chiral β-amino acid derivatives on a gram scale has also been achieved with 0.2 mol % catalyst loading.

Oxidative Coupling of Enamines and Disulfides via Tetrabutylammonium Iodide/tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide-Mediated Intermolecular Oxidative C(sp2) S Bond Formation Under Transition Metal-Free Conditions

The reaction of enamine compounds with disulfides in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide and a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide conveniently afforded a variety of α-thioenamine compounds through the intermolecular oxidative C(sp2) S coupling. Incorporating both of the sulfide moieties in the disulfides into the final products under oxidative conditions, this novel approach exhibits the feature of atom efficiency. A radical mechanistic pathway for the reaction process has been proposed. (Figure presented.) .

Chiral Lewis Base-Catalyzed, Enantioselective Reduction of Unprotected β-Enamino Esters with Trichlorosilane

Catalytic asymmetric reduction of N-unsubstituted β-enamino esters represents a major challenge for asymmetric catalysis. In this paper, the first organocatalytic system that could be used for the asymmetric hydrosilylation of N-unsubstituted β-enamino esters has been developed. Using N-tert-butylsulfinyl-L-proline-derived amides and L-pipecolinic acid-derived formamides as catalyst, a broad range of β-aryl- and β-alkyl-substituted free β-amino esters could be prepared with high yields and enantioselectivities. The practicality was illustrated by the gram-scale asymmetric synthesis of ethyl (R)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoate and isopropyl (S)-3-amino-4-(2,3,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoate. The resulting product can be smoothly transformed to the FDA approved medicines dapoxetine and sitagliptin in a short synthetic route.
