Half-Sandwich Ruthenium Complexes Bearing Hemilabile κ2-(C,S)?Thioether-Functionalized NHC Ligands: Application to Amide Synthesis from Alcohol and Amine

Amide synthesis is one of the most crucial transformations in chemistry and biology. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ruthenium (Ru) catalyst systems have been proven to be active for direct synthesis of amides by sustainable acceptorless dehydrogenative Coupling of primary alcohols with amines. Most often, these catalytic systems usually use monodentate NHC and thus require an additional ligand to obtain high reactivity and selectivity. In this work, a series of cationic Ru(II)(η6-p-cymene) complexes with thioether-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (imidazole and benzimidazole-based) have been prepared and fully characterized. These complexes have then been used in the amidation reaction and the most promising one (i. e. 3 c) has been applied on a large range of substrates. High conversions albeit with moderate yields have generally been obtained.

Fluorinated solvent-assisted photocatalytic aerobic oxidative amidation of alcoholsviavisible-light-mediated HKUST-1/Cs-POMoW catalysis

Considering the irreplaceable importance of photocatalytic functionalization reactions and the widespread attention paid to the use of metal-organic frameworks, especially their modified variants, for this purpose in recent years, different types of HKUST-1/POMoW composites were prepared through the immobilization of a series of Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs; POW = H3PW12O40, POMo = H3PMo12O40, and POMoW = H3PMo6W6O40) on HKUST-1 as a metal-organic framework (HKUST-1; Cu3(1,3,5-benzenetricarboxilicacid)2). Then, to produce HKUST-1/Cs-POM, the substitution of H+cations with Cs+ones as counter cations was carried out. The prepared composites were fully characterized with the PXRD (powder X-ray diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), BET and BJH (sorption of N2), TGA (thermo-gravimetric analysis), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EDX (energy dispersive X-ray), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), UV-vis DRS (diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) techniques. The great importance?of the amide functional group and the attractiveness of photocatalytic oxidative functionalization?reactions led us to study the formation of this functional group using the prepared catalytic system in line with our previous research in this field. The HKUST-1/Cs-POMoW composite showed a raised photocatalytic performance compared to the discrete components, HKUST-1 and Cs-POMs, in aerobic oxidative amidation of alcohols under illumination with visible light, owing to the presence of catalytically active Cs-POMs deposited on the MOF particles. Besides, the combination of composite components mitigated the recombination rate of the electron-hole pairs, raising its photocatalytic activity. The attractiveness of fluorine solvents for oxidation reactions has led to the study of their role in the efficiency of oxidative amidation of alcohols and their significant effect on the efficiency of the process has been confirmed. The Cu-MOF/POM catalyst showed excellent stability during the reaction, and no significant decrease in its ability was observed during five consecutive cycles.

Total syntheses of (?)-emestrin H and (?)-asteroxepin

First total syntheses of (?)-emestrin H and (?)-asteroxepin are described. To find the appropriate protecting group on the amide nitrogen of the diketopiperazine core, we conducted model studies using a simple diketopiperazine derivative. As a result, allyloxymethyl (Allom) group was the most suitable protecting group, which tolerated Nicolaou's sulfenylation conditions, and was easily cleavable under the mild conditions using Pd(PPh3)4 and N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid leaving methylthioethers intact. The general utility of Allom group for protection of amides was studied using simple substrates. Finally, the effectiveness of Allom group was proved by the accomplishment of the first total synthesis of (?)-emestrin H. Allom group was robust enough during installation of two methylthioethers to the diketopiperazine core and easily removed at the final step. The first total synthesis of (?)-asteroxepin was also completed by acylation of (?)-emestrin H.

Synthesis and biological screening of a library of macamides as TNF-α inhibitors

Thirty-five macamide analogues were synthesised by modifying the initial molecular structure. The resulting structures were confirmed using NMR and MS. Cytotoxicity and the anti-inflammatory activity of these synthetic macamides were evaluated in the THP-1 cell line. Preliminary biological evaluation indicated that most of these synthetic macamides did not present cytotoxicity (MTT assay) in the tested cell line with respect to the control (actinomycin D). Regarding the anti-inflammatory activity, several analogues had a greater potential for inhibition of TNF-α than natural macamides. Synthetic macamide 4a was the most active (IC50 = 0.009 ± 0.001 μM) compared to the C87 (control). Through looking at the link between the chemical structure and the activity, our study proves that changes made to natural macamides at the level of the alkyl chain, the benzyl position, the amide bond, and the addition of two methyl groups to the aromatic ring (meta position) lead us to obtaining new macamides with greater anti-inflammatory activity.

Direct amidation of non-activated carboxylic acid and amine derivatives catalyzed by TiCp2Cl2

This paper described a mild and efficient direct amidation of non-activated carboxylic acid and amine derivatives catalyzed by TiCp2Cl2. Arylacetic acid derivatives reacted with different amines to afford the corresponding amides in good to excellent yield except of aniline. Aryl formic acids failed to react with aniline but smoothly reacted with aliphatic amines and benzylamine in moderate to good yield, fatty acids reacting with benzyl and aliphatic amines give amides in good to excellent yield. Chiral amino acids derivatives were transformed into amides without racemization in moderate yield. The possible mechanism of direct amidation catalyzed by TiCp2Cl2 was discussed. This catalytic method is very suitable for the amidation of low sterically hindered arylacetic acid, fatty acids with different low sterically hindered amines except aniline, as well as the amidation of aryl formic acid with benzyl and aliphatic amines.

Tert -Butyl nitrite promoted transamidation of secondary amides under metal and catalyst free conditions

A mild and efficient method is demonstrated for the transamidation of secondary amides with various amines including primary, secondary, cyclic and acyclic amines in the presence of tert-butyl nitrite. The reaction proceeds through the N-nitrosamide intermediate and provides the transamidation products in good to excellent yields at room temperature. Moreover, the developed methodology does not require any catalyst or additives.

A Diaminopropane Diolefin Ru(0) Complex Catalyzes Hydrogenation and Dehydrogenation Reactions

New ruthenium (0) complexes with a cooperative diolefin diaminopropane (DAP) or the dehydrogenated iminopropenamide ligand (IPA) were synthesized for comparison with their diaminoethane (DAE)/ diazadiene (DAD) ruthenium analogues. These DAP/IPA complexes are efficient catalysts in dehydrogenation reactions of alkaline aqueous methanol which proceeds under mild conditions (T=70 °C) and of higher alcohols, forming the corresponding carbonate and carboxylates, respectively. The scope of the reaction includes an example of a 1,2-diol as model for biomass derived alcohols. Their catalytic applications are extended to the atom-efficient dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to amides. The reaction proceeds without any additives and is applicable to the synthesis of formamides from methanol. Moreover, DAP/IPA complexes catalyze the hydrogenation of a series of esters, lactone, ketone, activated olefin, aldehyde and imine substrates. The diaminopropane Ru catalyst exhibits higher activity compared to the dehydrogenated β-ketiminate (IPA) and previously studied DAD/DAE based catalysts. We present studies on their stoichiometric reactivity with relevance to their possible catalytic mechanisms and the isolation and full characterization of key reaction intermediates.

One-Pot Reductive Allylation of Amides by Using a Combination of Titanium Hydride and an Allylzinc Reagent: Application to a Total Synthesis of (-)-Castoramine

A one-pot direct reductive allylation protocol has been developed for the synthesis of secondary amines by using titanium hydride and an allylzinc reagent. This protocol is applicable to a broad range of substrates, including acyclic amides, benzamides, α,β-unsaturated amides, and lactams. The stereochemical outcome obtained from the reaction with crotylzinc reagent suggested that the allylation reaction proceeds through a six-membered cyclic transition state. A total synthesis of (-)-castoramine was accomplished by following this protocol for the highly stereoselective construction of contiguous stereocenters.

Overcoming solid handling issues in continuous flow substitution reactions through ionic liquid formation

Substitutions such as acylations, arylations, and alkylations are some of the most commonly run reactions for building complex molecules. However, the requirement of a stoichiometric base to scavange acid by-products creates significant challenges when operating in continuous flow due to solid handling issues associated with precipitating base·HX salts. We present a general and simple strategy to overcome these solid handling issues through the use of acid scavenging organic bases that generate low- to moderate-melting ionic liquids upon protonation. The application of these bases towards the most commonly run substitutions are demonstrated, enabling reactions to be run in flow without requiring additional equipment, specific solvents, or dilute reaction conditions to prevent clogging.

Ferric(III) Chloride Catalyzed Halogenation Reaction of Alcohols and Carboxylic Acids Using α,α-Dichlorodiphenylmethane

A new method for chlorination of alcohols and carboxylic acids, using α,α-dichlorodiphenylmethane as the chlorinating agent and FeCl3 as the catalyst, was developed. The method enables conversions of various alcohols and carboxylic acids to their corresponding alkyl and acyl chlorides in high yields under mild conditions. Particulary interesting is the observation that the respective alkyl bromides and iodides can be generated from alcohols when either LiBr or LiI are present in the reaction mixtures.
