Metal-Free Deoxygenation of Chiral Nitroalkanes: An Easy Entry to α-Substituted Enantiomerically Enriched Nitriles

A metal-free, mild and chemodivergent transformation involving nitroalkanes has been developed. Under optimized reaction conditions, in the presence of trichlorosilane and a tertiary amine, aliphatic nitroalkanes were selectively converted into amines or nitriles. Furthermore, when chiral β-substituted nitro compounds were reacted, the stereochemical integrity of the stereocenter was maintained and α-functionalized nitriles were obtained with no loss of enantiomeric excess. The methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of chiral β-cyano esters, α-aryl alkylnitriles, and TBS-protected cyanohydrins, including direct precursors of four active pharmaceutical ingredients (ibuprofen, tembamide, aegeline and denopamine).

Modular Synthesis of Carbon-Substituted Furoxans via Radical Addition Pathway. Useful Tool for Transformation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids Based on "build-and-Scrap" Strategy

Utilizing radical chemistry, a new general C-C bond formation on the furoxan ring was developed. By taking advantage of the lability of furoxans, a wide variety of transformation of the synthesized furoxans have been demonstrated. Thus, this developed methodology enabled not only the modular synthesis of furoxans but also short-step transformations of carboxylic acids to a broad range of functional groups.

Amidyl Radical Directed Remote Allylation of Unactivated sp3 C?H Bonds by Organic Photoredox Catalysis

The development of visible-light-mediated allylation of unactivated sp3 C?H bonds is reported. The remote allylation was directed by the amidyl radical, which was generated by photocatalytic fragmentation of a pre-functionalized amide precursor. Both aromatic and aliphatic amide derivatives could successfully deliver the remote C?H allylation products in good yields. A variety of electron deficient allyl sulfone systems could be used as δ-carbon radical acceptor.

A Transition-Metal-Free One-Pot Cascade Process for Transformation of Primary Alcohols (RCH2OH) to Nitriles (RCN) Mediated by SO2F2

A new transition-metal-free one-pot cascade process for the direct conversion of alcohols to nitriles was developed without introducing an “additional carbon atom”. This protocol allows transformations of readily available, inexpensive, and abundant alcohols to highly valuable nitriles.

Facile One-Pot Transformation of Primary Alcohols into 3-Aryl- and 3-Alkyl-isoxazoles and -pyrazoles

Various primary alcohols were smoothly transformed into 3-aryl- and 3-alkylisoxazoles in good yields in one pot by successive treatment with PhI(OAc) 2 in the presence of TEMPO, NH 2 OH, and then NCS, followed by reaction with alkynes in the presence of Et 3 N. Similarly, various primary alcohols were smoothly transformed into 3-aryl- and 3-alkylpyrazoles in good yields in one pot by successive treatment with PhI(OAc) 2 in the presence of TEMPO, PhNHNH 2, and then NCS and decyl methyl sulfide, followed by reaction with alkynes in the presence of Et 3 N. Thus, both 3-aryl- and 3-alkylisoxazoles, and 3-aryl- and 3-alkylpyrazoles could be prepared from readily available primary alcohols in one pot under transition-metal-free conditions.

The Dual Reactivity of 5-S/5-O-Phenyl-1,4,2-oxathiazoles: A Fragmentation Pathway That Affords Nitriles in the Presence of Water

The rearrangement of substituted 1,4,2-oxathiazoles to nitriles in the presence of water is described. Preliminary investigations suggest that the reaction pathway proceeds via a 1,4,2-oxathiazolium intermediate, followed by trapping with water and subsequent decomposition to products. An unprecedented rearrangement of 5-phenyl-1,4,2-oxathiazoles bearing a C5 leaving group to nitriles in the presence of water is described.

Substituted isoxazole analogs of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist GW4064

Starting from the known FXR agonist GW 4064 1a, a series of alternately 3,5-substituted isoxazoles was prepared. Several of these analogs were potent full FXR agonists. A subset of this series, with a tether between the isoxazole ring and the 3-position aryl substituent, were equipotent FXR agonists to GW 4064 1a, with the 2,6-dimethyl phenol analog 1t having greater FRET FXR potency than GW 4064 1a.
