An organocatalyzed aerobic benzylic C-H oxidation of alkyl and aryl heterocycles has been developed. This transition metal-free method is able to overcome the electron-withdrawing effect as well as product-inhibition effects in heterobenzylic radical oxidation. A variety of ketones bearing N-heterocyclic groups could be prepared under relatively mild conditions with moderate to high yields.

The methylene group of various substituted 2- and 4-benzylpyridines, benzyldiazines and benzyl(iso)quinolines was successfully oxidized to the corresponding benzylic ketones using a copper or iron catalyst and molecular oxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. Application of the protocol in API synthesis is exemplified by the alternative synthesis of a precursor to the antimalarial drug Mefloquine. The oxidation method can also be used to prepare metabolites of APIs which is illustrated for the natural product papaverine. ICP-MS analysis of the purified reaction products revealed that the base metal impurity was well below the regulatory limit.
TMSCH2Li-LiDMAE: a new nonnucleophilic reagent for C-2 lithiation of halopyridines

A new superbasic reagent has been discovered by combining TMSCH2Li and LiDMAE in hexane. This reagent was found highly efficient for the C-2 lithiation of sensitive chloro- and fluoropyridines. The metallation occurred chemo- and regioselectively at 0 °C avoiding the nucleophilic addition or substrate degradation commonly obtained with other alkyllithiums even at lower temperatures.
