Trideuteromethylation Enabled by a Sulfoxonium Metathesis Reaction

A conceptually novel sulfoxonium metathesis reaction between TMSOI and cost-effective DMSO-d6 is developed for the efficient generation of a new trideuteromethylation reagent TDMSOI. The new reagent TDMSOI is produced highly efficiently by simply heating a mixture of TMSOI and DMSO-d6 and directly used for subsequent trideuteromethylation in a "one-pot" operation. The preparative power of the new versatile reagent and the "one-pot" protocol is demonstrated by its use to install the ?CD3 moiety into broad functionalities including phenols, thiophenols, acidic amines, and enolizable methylene units in high yield and at a useful level of deuteration (>87% D).

Metal-free radical aromatic carbonylations mediated by weak bases

We report a new method of metal-free alkoxycarbonylation. This reaction involves the generation of aryl radicals from arenediazonium salts by a very weak base (HCO2Na) under mild conditions. Subsequent radical trapping with carbon monoxide and alcohols gives alkyl benzoates. The conditions (metal-free, 1 equiv. base, MeCN, r.t., 3 h) tolerate various functional groups (I, Br, Cl, CF3, SF5, NO2, ester). Mechanistic studies indicate the operation of a radical aromatic substitution mechanism.

Cu(ii)-catalyzed esterification reaction via aerobic oxidative cleavage of C(CO)-C(alkyl) bonds

A novel Cu(ii)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones for the synthesis of esters has been developed with wide functional group tolerance. This process is assumed to go through a tandem sequence consisting of α-oxygenation/esterification/nucleophilic addition/C-C bond cleavage and carbon dioxide is released as the only byproduct.

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylations of aryl bromides using paraformaldehyde: Synthesis of aldehydes and esters

Carbonylation reactions represent useful tools for organic synthesis. However, the necessity to use gaseous carbon monoxide is a disadvantage for most organic chemists. To solve this problem, novel protocols have been developed for conducting palladium-catalyzed reductive carbonylations of aryl bromides and alkoxycarbonylations using paraformaldehyde as an external CO source (CO gas free). Hence, aromatic aldehydes and esters were synthesized in moderate to good yields.

N-Acyl and N-sulfonyloxazolidine-2,4-diones are pseudo-irreversible inhibitors of serine proteases

The synthesis, inhibitory activity and mode of action of oxazolidine-2,4-diones against porcine pancreatic elastase, here used as a model for human neutrophil elastase, are reported. The nature of N-substitution at the oxazolidine-2,4-dione scaffold has large effect on the inhibitory potency against elastase. N-Acyl and N-sulfonyloxazolidine-2,4-diones emerged as potent pseudo-irreversible inhibitors, displaying high second-order rate constants for PPE inactivation. The title compounds were also shown to be potent inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and proteinase-3, and weak inhibitors of human cathepsin G. The results herein presented show that the oxazolidine-2,4-diones represent a new promising class of serine protease inhibitors.
