Oxidation-Reduction Condensation of Diazaphosphites for Carbon-Heteroatom Bond Formation Based on Mitsunobu Mechanism

An efficient oxidation-reduction condensation reaction of diazaphosphites with various nonacidic pronucleophiles in the presence of DIAD as a weak oxidant has been developed for carbon-heteroatom bond formation. This mild process affords structurally diverse tertiary amines, secondary amines, esters, ethers, and thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. The selective synthesis of secondary amines from primary amines has been achieved. Importantly, a practical application to the synthesis of antiparkinsonian agent piribedil has been demonstrated.

Mitsunobu Reaction Using Basic Amines as Pronucleophiles

A novel protocol for extending the scope of the Mitsunobu reaction to include amine nucleophiles to form C-N bonds through the utilization of N-heterocyclic phosphine-butane (NHP-butane) has been developed. Both aliphatic alcohols and benzyl alcohols are suitable substrates for C-N bond construction. Various acidic nucleophiles such as benzoic acids, phenols, thiophenol, and secondary sulfonamide also provide the desired products of esters, ethers, thioether, and tertiary sulfonamide with 43-93% yields. Importantly, C-N bond-containing pharmaceuticals, Piribedil and Cinnarizine, have been synthesized in one step from the commercial amines under this Mitsunobu reaction system.

Synthesis and application of a novel asymmetric azo reagent: 1-(tert-butyl)-2-(4-chlorobenzyl) azodicarboxylate (tBCAD)

A series of novel asymmetric azo reagents, 1-(tert-butyl)-2-(4-substituted benzyl) azodicarboxylate, were prepared. The synthetic process has the advantage of simpleness, easy operation, mild reaction condition and high yield. The 1-(tert-butyl)-2-(4-chlorobenzyl) azodicarboxylate (tBCAD) was selected for its stability and convenience to handle, and its precursor can be recycled by recrystallization with toluene. The tBCAD and DIAD were applied to a wide variety of Mitsunobu reactions. The experimental results showed that the performance of tBCAD in Mitsunobu reaction was comparable to that of DIAD, while the stability of tBCAD was much better than DIAD. Thus, tBCAD can be a novel, stable, effective azo-reagent for the Mitsunobu reaction.

I2/TBHP Mediated C-N and C-H Bond Cleavage of Tertiary Amines toward Selective Synthesis of Sulfonamides and β-Arylsulfonyl Enamines: The Solvent Effect on Reaction

A novel method toward synthesis of sulfonamides and β-arylsulfonyl enamines has been developed via I2/TBHP mediated C-N and C-H bond cleavage of tertiary amines, which features highly selective formation of two different target products depending on the reaction solvent. The experimental results reveal that H2O as the solvent could effectively achieve the C-N bond cleavage to produce sulfonamides due to H2O participating in the reaction process where H2O plays a dual role. Differing from H2O, organic solvents (such as dimethyl sulfoxide) could promote the C-H bond cleavage of tertiary amines to yield β-arylsulfonyl enamines.

Iodine-catalyzed oxidative amination of sodium sulfinates: A convenient approach to the synthesis of sulfonamides under mild conditions

The iodine-catalyzed oxidative amination of sodium sulfinates in the presence of sodium percarbonate as the oxidant has been developed. The reaction shows good substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of functionalities in both amine and sodium sulfinate substrates. Aliphatic amines, heteroaromatic amines and hydrochloride salts of amines canbe employed as the amine sources in this transformation. Mechanistic studies indicated that a radical pathway might be involved in the reaction process. This transition-metalfree protocol offers an alternative and convenient approach for a preparation of a series of sulfonamides in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.

Metal-free direct N-benzylation of sulfonamides with benzyl alcohols by employing boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex

N-Benzylation of sulfonamides with both primary and secondary benzyl alcohols by employing boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex under mild reaction conditions has been developed, which is an environmentally benign and facile protocol for assembling a series of primary and secondary benzyl sulfonamides in yields up to 83%. In this coupling reaction, the beneficial role of water has been clarified in detail through control experiments.

Iodine-catalyzed expeditious synthesis of sulfonamides from sulfonyl hydrazides and amines

A new synthesis of sulfonamides has been developed via an iodine-catalyzed sulfonylation of amines with arylsulfonyl hydrazides. This metal-free strategy employs readily accessible and easy to handle starting materials, catalysts and oxidants, and can be easily conducted under mild conditions, providing a convenient access to a wide range of sulfonamides in moderate to excellent yields within a short reaction time.

Sulfonamide synthesis via oxyma-O-sulfonates - Compatibility to acid sensitive groups and solid-phase peptide synthesis

A milder and more efficient procedure for the synthesis of sulfonamides by activating sulfonic acid groups as the corresponding sulfonate esters of ethyl 2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino)acetate (Oxyma) is reported. This method is greener than all other existing protocols for the purpose. Other important advantages lie in (a) its applicability to less nucleophilic anilines under ambient and milder conditions and (b) its compatibility with solid phase peptide synthesis and acid-labile groups such as trityl (Trt) and tBu, which empowers the solid phase synthesis of sulfonamides of various peptides. To illustrate this, the syntheses of three sulfonamide derivatives of the peptide GAILG-NH2, which is relevant in the context of drug design against type 2 diabetes, are demonstrated by using Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The activation of sulfonic acids as their corresponding O-sulfonate esters facilitates sulfonamide synthesis, which can be applied to those substrates that possess acid-labile functional groups and is compatible with solid phase synthesis.

Gold-catalyzed substitution reaction with ortho-alkynylbenzoic acid alkyl ester as an efficient alkylating agent

ortho-Alkynylbenzoic acid alkyl esters behave as alkylating agents in combination with gold catalysts. The reaction with alcohols occurs smoothly in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ph3PAuCl and AgOTf under mild conditions to produce the corresponding ether products in high yields. The protocol is also useful for Friedel-Crafts alkylation and N-alkylation of sulfonamides. The reaction likely proceeds through the gold-induced in situ construction of leaving groups and subsequent nucleophilic attack of nucleophiles, such as alcohols, aromatic compounds, and sulfonamides.

Use of polymer supported reagents for clean multi-step organic synthesis: Preparation of amines and amine derivatives from alcohols for use in compound library generation

The automated sequential application of polymer supported perruthenate (PSP) and polymer supported cyanoborohydride (PSCBH) in an oxidation-reductive amination procedure allowed the efficient transformation of simple alcohols into more complex amines which can be further derivatised by the use of polymer bound amino sulfonylpyridinium chlorides.
