An electrochemical approach to prepare aziridines via an oxidative coupling between alkenes and primary alkyl amines was realized. The reaction is carried out in an electrochemical flow reactor, leading to short reaction/residence times (5 min), high yields, and broad scope. At the cathode, hydrogen is generated, which can be used in a second reactor to reduce the aziridine yielding the corresponding hydroaminated product.Aziridines are useful synthetic building blocks, widely employed for the preparation of various nitrogen-containing derivatives. As the current methods require the use of prefunctionalized amines, the development of a synthetic strategy toward aziridines that can establish the union of alkenes and amines would be of great synthetic value. Herein, we report an electrochemical approach, which realizes this concept via an oxidative coupling between alkenes and primary alkylamines. The reaction is carried out in an electrochemical flow reactor leading to short reaction/residence times (5 min), high yields, and broad scope. At the cathode, hydrogen is generated, which can be used in a second reactor to reduce the aziridine, yielding the corresponding hydroaminated product. Mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations revealed that the alkene is first anodically oxidized and subsequently reacted with the amine coupling partner.The central tenet in modern synthetic methodology is to develop new methods only using widely available organic building blocks. As a direct consequence, new activation strategies are required to cajole the coupling partners to react and, subsequently, forge new and useful chemical bonds. Using electrochemical activation, our methodology enables for the first time the direct coupling between olefins and amines to yield aziridines. Aziridines display interesting pharmacological activity and serve as valuable synthetic intermediates to prepare diverse nitrogen-containing derivatives. Interestingly, the sole byproduct generated in this process is hydrogen, which can be subsequently used to reduce the aziridine into the corresponding hydroaminated product. Hence, this electrochemical methodology can be regarded as green and sustainable from the vantage point of upgrading simple and widely available commodity chemicals.

Indole motifs are one of the most significant scaffolds in the discovery of new drugs. We have described a synthesis of new N-substituted indole derivatives (1-3), and their in vitro antimicrobial activities were investigated. The synthesis of titled compounds has been demonstrated by utilizing commercially available starting materials. The antibacterial and antifungal activities were performed using new strains of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans using the disc diffusion method. Notably, the compound 4-(1-(2-(1H-indol-1-yl) ethoxy) pentyl)-N,N-dimethyl aniline (1) was found to be most potent than the other analogues (2 and 3), which has shown higher inhibition than the standard drug chloramphenicol.

A novel heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation-hydrogenolysis strategy has been developed for the α-methylation of ketones via enaminones using DMF dimethyl acetal as carbon source. This strategy provides a very convenient route to α-methylated ketones using a variety of ketones without any base or oxidant. (Chemical Equation Presented).

ortho Substituted (diphenylphosphoryl)-, (diphenylphosphorothioyl)- and (diphenylphosphoroselenoyl)-phosphinic amides o-C6H 4(P(X)Ph2)(P(O)NiPr2) (X = O (20a), S (20b), Se (20c)) were synthesized by ortho directed lithiation of N,N-diisopropyl-P,P-diphenylphosphinic amide (Ph2P(O)N iPr2) followed by trapping with Ph2PCl and subsequent oxidation of the o-(diphenylphosphine)phosphinic amide (19) with H2O2, S8 and Se. The reaction of the new mixed-donor bidentate ligands with zinc dichloride afforded the corresponding complexes [ZnCl2(P(X)Ph2)o-C6H 4(P(O)NiPr2)] (21a-c). The new compounds were structurally characterized in solution by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and in the solid-state by X-ray diffraction analysis of the ligand (20b) and the three complexes (21a-c). The X-ray crystal structure of 20b suggests the existence of a PO→P(S)-C intramolecular nonbonded interaction. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis using DFT methods showed that the stabilization effect provided by a nO→σ* P-C orbital interaction was negligible. The molecular structure of the complexes consisted of seven-membered chelates formed by O,X-coordination of the ligands to the zinc cation. The metal is four-coordinated by binding to the two chlorine atoms showing a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Applications in catalysis revealed that hemilabile ligands 20a-c act as significant promoters of the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes, with 20a showing the highest activity. Chelation of Et2Zn with 20a was evidenced by NMR spectroscopy.

A group of bidentate Schiff bases derived from enantiomerically pure (S)-α-methylbenzylamine was synthesized. Crystal structure was determined for three compounds. Schiff bases were used as chiral ligands in the asymmetric addition of Et2Zn to aldehydes. The obtained enantioselectivity was e.e.=8-94% depending on the substrate and the best was observed for (S,E)-2-(1-(1-phenylethylimino)-ethyl)phenol. The enantioselectivity increase was connected with the substituent-induced electronic effects in the substrate molecules. Molecular modeling resulted in the models of the 3D structures of Zn-Zn complex catalysts containing investigated Schiff bases, which were consistent with the reported chirality of the addition product and explained observed e.e. The presented transition state models allow explaining the change of the absolute configuration of diethylzinc addition product in the case of using ortho-substituted aldehydes. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

experimental part, p. 648 - 657 (2011/07/08)
A group of tridentate Schiff bases derived from (+)-α-pinene were synthesized. The steric effects in the transition state, the importance of π-π stacking interactions as well as the electronic effects of aryl aldehydes according to Hammett constant values in the enantioselective addition of Et2Zn to aldehydes with the use of Schiff bases as chiral ligands are described. Also, a variety of aldehydes were cyanated using a catalyst prepared in situ from titanium tetraisopropoxide and chiral Schiff bases. The influence of a conjugated double-bond in the cyanation substrates on enantioselectivity was observed. The chemical structures of the chiral Schiff base-titanium alkoxide complexes are discussed based on their 1H and 13C NMR spectra. 3D models of the Zn2-complex catalyst and Ti-complex catalyst containing α-pinane-type Schiff bases based on X-ray diffraction experiments are postulated. The models presented were consistent with the reported chirality of the addition product and observed ee.

Two concise, convergent syntheses of (±)-trichostatin A (1), a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor, have been accomplished. The key step in both is a Pd-catalyzed α-alkenylation reaction between ketone 2 and either dienyl bromide 3 or alkenyl bromide 9 u

Halogen-magnesium exchange of various aryl halides is achieved with a magnesium ate complex at low temperatures. Tributylmagnesate (nBu3MgLi) induces facile iodine-magnesium exchange at -78 °C. Dibutylisopropylmagnesate (iPrnBu2MgLi) is more reactive than nBu3MgLi, and this reagent accomplishes selective bromine-magnesium exchange at -78 °C. This procedure is utilized for the preparation of various polyfunctionalized arylmagnesium species. The exchange of alkenyl halides using this method proceeds with retention of configuration of the double bond.
Halogen-magnesium exchange via trialkylmagnesates for the preparation of aryl- and alkenymagnesium reagents
Kitagawa, Kazuya,Inoue, Atsushi,Shinokubo, Hiroshi,Oshima, Koichiro
, p. 2481 - 2483 (2007/10/03)
Significantly better than simple Grignard reagents are the trialkylmagnesium-ate complexes in the halogen-metal exchange reaction of aryl or alkenyl halides to the corresponding magnesates (see reaction scheme). The subsequent reaction of these ate complexes with electrophiles proceeds in good to excellent yields, and a number of functional groups (FG) can be tolerated.
