Tuning Triplet Energy Transfer of Hydroxamates as the Nitrene Precursor for Intramolecular C(sp3)-H Amidation

Reported herein is the design of a photosensitization strategy to generate triplet nitrenes and its applicability for the intramolecular C-H amidation reactions. Substrate optimization by tuning physical organic parameters according to the proposed energy transfer pathway led us to identify hydroxamates as a convenient nitrene precursor. While more classical nitrene sources, representatively organic azides, were ineffective under the current photosensitization conditions, hydroxamates, which are readily available from alcohols or carboxylic acids, are highly efficient in accessing synthetically valuable 2-oxazolidinones and γ-lactams by visible light. Mechanism studies supported our working hypothesis that the energy transfer path is mainly operative.

Versatile Cp*Co(III)(LX) Catalyst System for Selective Intramolecular C-H Amidation Reactions

Herein, we report the development of a tailored cobalt catalyst system of Cp*Co(III)(LX) toward intramolecular C-H nitrene insertion of azidoformates to afford cyclic carbamates. The cobalt complexes were easy to prepare and bench-stable, thus offering a convenient reaction protocol. The catalytic reactivity was significantly improved by the electronic tuning of the bidentate LX ligands, and the observed regioselectivity was rationalized by the conformational analysis and DFT calculations of the transition states. The superior performance of the newly developed cobalt catalyst system could be broadly applied to both C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H carbamation reactions under mild conditions.

Synthesis of oxazolidinones: Rhodium-catalyzed C-H amination of: N -mesyloxycarbamates

N-Mesyloxycarbamates undergo intramolecular C-H amination reactions to afford oxazolidinones in good to excellent yields in the presence of rhodium(ii) carboxylate catalysts. The reaction is performed under green conditions and potassium carbonate is used, forming biodegradable potassium mesylate as a reaction by-product. This method enables the production of electron-rich, electron-deficient, aromatic and heteroaromatic oxazolidinones in good to excellent yields. Conformationally restricted cyclic secondary N-mesyloxycarbamates furnish cis-oxazolidinones in high yields and selectivity; DFT calculations are provided to account for the observed selectivity. trans-Oxazolidinones were prepared from acyclic secondary N-mesyloxycarbamates using Rh2(oct)4. The selectivity was reverted with a cytoxazone N-mesyloxycarbamate precursor using large chiral rhodium(ii) carboxylate complexes, affording the corresponding cis-oxazolidinone. This orthogonal selectivity was used to achieve the formal synthesis of (-)-cytoxazone.

Copper-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination

The amino-functionalization of tertiary, secondary and benzylic C-H bonds of tethered carbamates and sulfamates by iodosobenzene is catalyzed by Cu I-diimine complexes in moderate to good yield. Employing homochiral imine-Cucatalysts affords oxazolidinones and oxathiazinanes with modest enantioselectivity.

A silver-catalyzed intramolecular amidation of saturated C-H bonds

Opportunities with silver: A dinuclear silver(I) compound was found to efficiently catalyze the intramolecular amidation of saturated C-H bonds of carbamates and sulfamates (see scheme). This highly regioselective, stereospecific reaction offers a practical method for the construction of cyclic nitrogen-containing organic molecules.

Aminotellurinylation of Olefins and Its Utilization for Synthesis of 2-Oxazolidinones

Benzenetellurinyl acetate or trifluoroacetate in combination with ethyl carbamate effected regio- and stereoselective aminotellurinylation of olefins in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate in chloroform under reflux to give ethyl carbamates in high yields.Benzenetellurinyl trifluoromethanesulfonate similarly did it even at the lower temperature of refluxing dichloromethane without Lewis acid.This reaction was successfully extended to cyclofunctionalization of olefinic carbamates into nitrogen heterocycles.Furthermore, when the aminotellurinylation was carried out in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane, 2-oxazolidinone was obtained in a high yield.A mechanism of addition followed by intramolecular substitution in proposed on the basis of the stereochemistry of 2-oxazolidinone derivatives.
