Sustainable Route Toward N-Boc Amines: AuCl3/CuI-Catalyzed N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of Amines at Room Temperature

N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (N-Boc) amines are useful intermediates in synthetic/medicinal chemistry. Traditionally, they are prepared via an indirect phosgene route with poor atom economy. Herein, a step- and atom-economic synthesis of N-Boc amines from amines, t-butanol, and CO was reported at room temperature. Notably, this N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation procedure utilized ready-made substrates, commercially available AuCl3/CuI as catalysts, and O2 from air as the sole oxidant. This catalytic system provided unique selectivity for N-Boc amines in good yields. More significantly, gram-scale preparation of medicinally important N-Boc amine intermediates was successfully implement, which demonstrated a potential application prospect in industrial syntheses. Furthermore, this approach also showed good compatibility with tertiary and other useful alcohols. Investigations of the mechanisms revealed that gold catalyzed the reaction and copper acted as electron transfer mediator in the catalytic cycle.

Simple copper salts serve as catalysts to effect C-X bond-forming reactions in some of the most utilized transformations in synthesis, including the oxidative coupling of aryl boronic acids and amines. However, these Chan-Lam coupling reactions have historically relied on chemical oxidants that limit their applicability beyond small-scale synthesis. Despite the success of replacing strong chemical oxidants with electrochemistry for a variety of metal-catalyzed processes, electrooxidative reactions with ligandless copper catalysts are plagued by slow electron-transfer kinetics, irreversible copper plating, and competitive substrate oxidation. Herein, we report the implementation of substoichiometric quantities of redox mediators to address limitations to Cu-catalyzed electrosynthesis. Mechanistic studies reveal that mediators serve multiple roles by (i) rapidly oxidizing low-valent Cu intermediates, (ii) stripping Cu metal from the cathode to regenerate the catalyst and reveal the active Pt surface for proton reduction, and (iii) providing anodic overcharge protection to prevent substrate oxidation. This strategy is applied to Chan-Lam coupling of aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkylamines with arylboronic acids in the absence of chemical oxidants. Couplings under these electrochemical conditions occur with higher yields and shorter reaction times than conventional reactions in air and provide complementary substrate reactivity.

An efficient approach for the Chemoselective N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of a variety of amines using diphenylglycoluril as organocatalyst has been described. For the first time, a plausible mechanism for the N-tert-butoxycarbonylation has been proposed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported by NMR studies. The reusability of the organocatalyst and observation of the desired N-Boc protected amines being formed without the formation of side products like urea, oxazolidinone, isocyanate, and N, N-di-Boc derivatives makes the present protocol desirable.

We report a copper-catalyzed amination reaction between simple alkoxyarylsilanes and N-benzoyloxyamines. Silver fluoride serves as a stoichiometric base as well as an indispensable activator that allows the catalytic process to proceed. Multiply alkoxylated arylsilanes, such as trialkoxyarylsilanes and dialkoxyarylsilanes were transformed into the corresponding tertiary anilines under mild reaction conditions.

An operationally simple mechanochemical method for the Pd catalysed Buchwald-Hartwig amination of arylhalides with secondary amines has been developed using a Pd PEPPSI catalyst system. The system is demonstrated on 30 substrates and applied in the context of a target synthesis. Furthermore, the performance of the reaction under aerobic conditions has been probed under traditional solution and mechanochemical conditions, the observations are discussed herein.

By using cheap and innocuous reagents, such as NaClO2, NaOCl, and catalytic amounts of TEMPO, a new environmentally friendly protocol for the selective and catalytic TEMPO C(sp3)-H oxidation of piperazines and morpholines to 2,3-diketopiperazines (2,3-DKP) and 3-morpholinones (3-MPs), respectively, has been developed. This novel direct access to 2,3-DKP from piperazines provides significant advantages over the traditional N-monoacylation/intramolecular C-N cyclization procedure. Additionally, by modulating the amounts of TEMPO, 2-alkoxyamino-3-morpholinone can be prepared from morpholine derivatives, which would enable further functionalization at the C2 position of the morpholine skeleton.

Due to the significance of hybrid systems in drug discovery, there is an urgent need to assemble multiple biologically active ingredients into a single molecule. Here, we report a general transition-metal-free selective C?H benzylation of tertiary arylamines in good to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance under mild conditions. Besides arylamines, some other benzene derivatives also readily furnished the corresponding diaryl methane derivatives with this protocol. A series of control experiments and theoretical calculations indicated that this transition-metal-free reaction is a dearomatization-aromatization process.

Herein we describe a mild method for the dual C(sp3)?H bond functionalization of saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles through a sequential visible-light photocatalyzed dehydrogenation/[2+2] cycloaddition procedure. As a complementary approach to the well-established use of iminium ion and α-amino radical intermediates, the elusive cyclic enamine intermediates were effectively generated by photoredox catalysis under mild conditions and efficiently captured by acetylene esters to form a wide array of bicyclic amino acid derivatives, thus enabling the simultaneous functionalization of two vicinal C(sp3)?H bonds.

The 2-azolyl radical, generated from 2-bromoazoles via photocatalysis, is a powerful intermediate for the intermolecular arylation of unmodified (hetero)arenes. The reaction is characterized by mild conditions, operational simplicity, tolerance toward functional and sterically demanding groups, broad scope, and anti-Minisci selectivity. A working mechanism is provided, and a low-solubility amine is essential for successful coupling. The utility of the reaction is demonstrated via late-stage functionalization of methyl estrone and application toward other bromoarenes.
