Nickel-catalysed direct α-olefination of alkyl substituted N-heteroarenes with alcohols

Catalytic α-olefination of alkylheteroarenes with primary alcohols via dehydrogenative coupling is presented. A simple nickel catalyst system stabilised by readily available nitrogen ligands enables a series of interesting E-configured vinylarenes (confirmed by X-ray crystal-structure analysis) to be synthesised in good to excellent yields with olefin/alkane selectivity of >20:1. Hydrogen and water are generated as byproducts and quantitative determination of H2 was performed.

Iron-Catalyzed Coupling of Methyl N-Heteroarenes with Primary Alcohols: Direct Access to E-Selective Olefins

An efficient Fe-catalyzed system is reported for direct α-olefination of methyl-substituted N-heteroarenes with primary alcohols. The catalytic dehydrogenative coupling enables a series of functionalized E-olefinated N-heteroaromatics with excellent selectivity (>99%). Initial mechanistic studies including deuterium-labeling experiments provide evidence for the participation of the benzylic C-H/D bond of alcohols.

Design, synthesis, and in vitro evaluation of quinolinyl analogues for α-synuclein aggregation

Here we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 25 new quinolinyl analogues for α-synuclein aggregates. Three lead compounds were subsequently labeled with carbon-11 or fluorine-18 to directly assess their potency in a direct radioactive competitive binding assay ng both α-synuclein fibrils and tissue homogenates from Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases. The modest binding affinities of these three radioligands toward α-synuclein were comparable with results from the Thioflavin T fluorescence assay. However, all three ligand also showed modest binding affinity to the AD homogenates and lack selectivity for α-synuclein. The structure–activity relationship data from these 25 analogues will provide useful information for design and synthesis of new compounds for imaging α-synuclein aggregation.

Iron-catalyzed C(sp3)-H functionalization of methyl azaarenes: A green approach to azaarene-substituted α- Or β-hydroxy carboxylic derivatives and 2-alkenylazaarenes

Bioactive azaarene-substituted lactic acids, β-hydroxy esters, 3-hydroxy-2H-indol-2-ones, and 2-alkenylazaarenes were prepared in moderate-to-excellent yields via C(sp3)-H functionalization of methyl azaarenes with carbonyl compounds in the presence of iron(ii) acetate as an inexpensive, nontoxic, efficient catalyst. The application of this atom-, step-economic, and environmentally friendly method was demonstrated by a gram-scale synthesis of 3-[(E)-2-(7-chloroquinolin-2-yl)vinyl]benzaldehyde, a key intermediate of leukotriene receptor antagonist (Montelukast).

Cobalt-catalyzed direct alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes via C(sp3)-H functionalization in water

The direct C(sp3)-H alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes as a simple methodology to afford 2-alkenylated quinolines is reported. In the presence of catalytic CoCl2 in water, the economically and ecologically sound transformation is proposed to proceed via the direct benzylic addition to the aldehyde followed by an elimination step to provide 2-alkenylated quinolines in good to excellent yield of up to 95%.

Oxidative olefination of secondary amines with carbon nucleophiles

An unprecedented olefination reaction of secondary amines with carbon nucleophiles has been developed through C-N/C-H functionalization under metal-free oxidative conditions. In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), a range of secondary N-alkylanilines smoothly underwent oxidative olefination with 2-alkylazaarenes, acetophenone, and malononitrile to give structurally diverse polysubstituted alkenes in moderate to excellent yields with excellent (E) selectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the oxidative olefination reaction proceeds through amine oxidation followed by imine olefination. A range of secondary N-alkylanilines smoothly underwent DDQ-promoted oxidative olefination with 2-alkylazaarenes, acetophenone, and malononitrile to give structurally diverse alkenes in moderate to excellent yields with excellent (E) selectivity. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds through amine oxidation followed by imine olefination (DDQ = 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone). Copyright

A catalyst-free benzylic C-H bond olefination of azaarenes for direct mannich-like reactions

A highly efficient synthesis of trans-alkenylazaarene under catalyst-free conditions was developed via the addition of methylazaarenes to N-sulfonyl aldimines and a subsequent C-N elimination in situ. A one-pot procedure for this addition-elimination was also developed. The reaction could tolerate a broad substrate scope and give the corresponding alkenylazaarenes in high yields.
