Rhodium-Catalyzed Addition of Organozinc Iodides to Carbon-11 Isocyanates

Amides were prepared using rhodium-catalyzed coupling of organozinc iodides and carbon-11 (11C, t1/2 = 20.4 min) isocyanates. Nonradioactive isocyanates and sp3 or sp2 organozinc iodides generated amides in yields of 13%-87%. Incorporation of cyclotron-produced [11C]CO2 into 11C-amide products proceeded in yields of 5%-99%. The synthetic utility of the methodology was demonstrated through the isolation of [11C]N-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-methoxybenzamide ([11C]6g) with a molar activity of 267 GBq μmol-1 and 12% radiochemical yield in 21 min from the beginning of synthesis.

Mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed direct trifluoroethylation of aromatic systems by C-H activation

The introduction of trifluoroalkyl groups into aromatic molecules is an important transformation in the field of organic and medicinal chemistry. However, the direct installation of fluoroalkyl groups onto aromatic molecules still represents a challenging and highly demanding synthetic task. Herein, a simple trifluoroethylation process that relies on the palladium-catalyzed C-H activation of aromatic compounds is described. With the utilization of a highly active trifluoroethyl(mesityl)iodonium salt, the developed catalytic method enables the first highly efficient and selective trifluoroethylation of aromatic compounds. The robust catalytic procedure provides the desired products in up to 95 % yield at 25 °C in 1.5 to 3 hours and tolerates a broad range of functional groups. The utilization of hypervalent reagents opens new synthetic possibilities for direct alkylations and fluoroalkylations in the field of transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation.

Green alternative solvents for the copper-catalysed arylation of phenols and amides

Investigation of the use of green organic solvents for the Cu-catalysed arylation of phenols and amides is reported. Alkyl acetates proved to be efficient solvents in the catalytic processes, and therefore excellent alternatives to the typical non-green solvents used for Cu-catalysed arylation reactions. Solvents such as isosorbide dimethyl ether (DMI) and diethyl carbonate also appear to be viable possibilities for the arylation of phenols. Finally, a novel copper catalysed acyl transfer process is reported.

Iron-catalyzed N-arylations of amides

A method was proposed for iron-catalyzed N-arylation of primary amides and its applicability to the synthesis of N-heterocycles by intramolecular ring closures. The method used a catalyst system of 10 mol % of FeCl3 and 20 mol % of N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA). The study found that secondary amides of N-methylbenzamide and N-benzylbenzamide produce N-arylated products in trace amounts. The method developed an iron-based catalyst system for efficient N-arylations of primary amides with aryl iodides. The study used a sealable tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar charged with amide, or K 3PO4, or K2CO3, or FeCl3. The study used NMR spectroscopic analysis to determine the identity and purity of the products. The method observed that different substituted aryl iodides made a positive impact on the reaction.

Palladium-Imidazolium N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Carbonylative Amidation with Boronic Acids, Aryl Diazonium Ions, and Ammonia

Aryl diazonium tetrafluoroborates have been coupled with arylboron compounds, carbon monoxide, and ammonia to give aryl amides in high yields. A saturated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, H2IPr was used with palladium(II) acetate to give the active catalyst. A mechanism is proposed for this novel four-component coupling reaction.

Application of polymer-bound phosphonium salts as traceless supports for solid phase synthesis

The utility of the phosphonium group as a traceless linker for the solid phase synthesis of small organic molecules is demonstrated by the elaboration of polymer-bound phosphonium salts and their subsequent cleavage to alkyl, alkenyl and heteroaryl produc

Anticonvulsant activity of some 4-methoxy- and 4-chlorobenzanilides

A series of mono-, di-, and trimethylated derivatives of 4-chloro- and 4-methoxybenzanilide was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. This series was prepared in the course of studies designed to examine the relationship between anticonvulsant effects and benzamide structure. The compounds were tested in mice against seizures induced by maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (scMet), as well as with the rotorod assay for neurologic deficit. In mice dosed intraperitoneally, 4-methoxy-2, 6-dimethylbenzanilide (4) showed a median anticonvulsant potency (ED50) of 18.58 mg/kg in the MES test and a median toxicity (TD50) of 133.72 mg/kg in the rotorod toxicity assay, yielding a protective index (PI = TD50/ED50) of 7.2. In mice dosed orally with 4, the anti-MES ED50 was 27.40 mg/kg and the TD50 dose was determined to be 342.58 mg/kg, resulting in a protective index of 12.5.

2-Substituted indoles and process for their preparation

Highly branched α-substituted indoles, e.g., 2-(1-methylcyclohexyl)-indole, are prepared by treating N-(α-branched carbonyl) toluidines with alkyl lithium. The reaction sequence may be illustrated as SPC1
