The Alkylation and Reduction of Heteroarenes with Alcohols Using Photoredox Catalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer via Chlorine Atom Generation

Radical additions to heteroaromatic bases are frequently employed for the rapid synthesis of complex products using C–H functionalization strategies. The conditions that are commonly employed are typically harsh, routinely requiring stoichiometric oxidants and other additives. In search for milder reaction environments allowing late-stage functionalization, we present the alkylation of N-heteroarenes using primary alcohols and ethers as radical precursors, where the corresponding alkyl radical is formed via hydrogen atom transfer process with a photoredox catalyzed chlorine atom generation as HAT agent. Furthermore, we explore the reduction of the heteroarenes in moderate to high yields when using secondary alcohols.

The copper-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of alkylboron reagents: disproportionation of anionic (alkyl)(alkoxy)borates to anionic dialkylborates prior to transmetalation

We report the first example of CuI-catalysed coupling of alkylboron reagents with aryl and heteroaryl iodides that affords products in good to excellent yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies with alkylborates indicate that the anionic (alkoxy)(alkyl)borates, generated from alkyllithium and alkoxyboron reagents, undergo disproportionation to anionic dialkylborates and that both anionic alkylborates are active for transmetalation to a CuI-catalyst. Results from a radical clock experiment and the Hammett plot imply that the reaction likely proceeds via a non-radical pathway.

General copper-catalyzed coupling of alkyl-, aryl-, and alkynylaluminum reagents with organohalides

We report the first example of a very general Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling of organoaluminum reagents with organohalides. The reactions proceed for the couplings of alkyl-, aryl-, and alkynylaluminum reagents with aryl and heteroaryl halides and vinyl bromides, affording the cross-coupled products in good to excellent yields. Both primary and secondary alkylaluminum reagents can be utilized as organometallic coupling partners. These reactions are not complicated by β-hydride elimination, and as a result rearranged products are not observed with secondary alkylaluminum reagents even for couplings with heteroaryl halides under "ligand-free" conditions. Radical clock experiment with a radical probe and relative reactivity study of Ph3Al with two haloarenes, 1-bromonaphthalene and 4-chlorobenzonitrile, having two different redox potentials indicates that the reaction does not involve free aryl radicals and radical anions as intermediates. These results combined with the result of the Hammett plot obtained by reacting Ph3Al with iodoarenes containing p-H, p-Me, p-F, and p-CF3 substituents, which shows a linear curve (R2 = 0.99) with a ρ value of +1.06, suggest that the current transformation follows an oxidative addition-reductive elimination pathway.

Rh-catalyzed sequential oxidative C-H activation/annulation with geminal-substituted vinyl acetates to access isoquinolines

The concise synthesis of 3-substituted or non-C3-substituted isoquinolines through Rh-catalyzed sequential oxidative C-H activation/annulation with geminal-substituted vinyl acetates was developed with good functional group tolerance. The protocol was successfully applied to the total synthesis of the natural product papaverine.

Trimethyl borate/magnesium halide complex-induced one-pot homologation reactions of isoquinoline with dialkyl-TMP-zincate

Novel one-pot homologation reactions of isoquinoline with lithium dialkyl-TMP-zincate?2MgBrCl/trimethyl borate are described. 1-Alkylisoquinolines (2, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6, and 7) and 1-alkyl-3,4- dihydroisoquinolines (3B, 4B, and 5B) are easily prepared under t

Direct 1,4-difunctionalization of isoquinoline

The synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted isoquinoline derivatives was achieved in one step starting from isoquinoline. The process involved a nucleophilic addition in 1-position followed by an electrophilic trapping in 4-position. Interesting features were noted when C2Cl6 was used as the electrophile since different compounds could be isolated selectively only by adjusting the reaction parameters.

Efficient and stereoselective installation of isoquinoline: formal total synthesis of cortistatin A

The highly stereoselective attachment of isoquinoline onto the steroidal framework of cortistatin A has been achieved. Our strategy features a Ce-mediated nucleophilic addition of an isoquinoline unit to the sterically congested ketone followed by formati

A manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction

A manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of heterocyclic chlorides with aryl- as well as alkylmagnesium halides has been developed. The reaction provides a variety of heterocyclic compounds under mild and practical reaction conditions using low amounts of manganese chloride as catalyst. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

N-Heteroarylphosphonates, Part II. Synthesis and reactions of 2- and 4- phosphonatoquinolines and related compounds

We extend our synthetic method for the efficient preparation of dialkoxyphosphoryl- and phosphonio-disubstituted pyridines to include the preparation of other phosphonato substituted N-heterocycles. The key to the success of this method lies in the employment of cationic N- (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)heteroarylium triflates that are activated towards nucleophilic attack. The P(O)(OR)2 group can be transformed into the P(S)(OR)2 functionality. We report first attempts to substitute the P(O)(OR)2 moiety with C-nucleophiles. In addition to our synthetic results, the X-ray structures of two (dimethoxyphosphoryl)trifluoromethanesulfonyldihydro-N-heteroarenes are discussed. We also give complete carbon (13C) and phosphorus (31P)-NMR spectra of a series of 2- and 4-phosphonic ester substituted heteroaryl compounds and their dihydro analogs.
