MANGANESE (III) CATALYZED C--H AMINATIONS

Paragraph 0681-0684, (2019/04/25)
Reactions that directly install nitrogen into C—H bonds of complex molecules are significant because of their potential to change the chemical and biological properties of a given compound. Selective intramolecular C—H amination reactions that achieve high levels of reactivity, while maintaining excellent site-selectivity and functional-group tolerance is a challenging problem. Herein is reported a manganese perchlorophthalocyanine catalyst [MnIII(ClPc)] for intermolecular benzylic C—H amination of bioactive molecules and natural products that proceeds with unprecedented levels of reactivity and site-selectivity. In the presence of Br?nsted or Lewis acid, the [MnIII(ClPc)]-catalyzed C—H amination demonstrates unique tolerance for tertiary amine, pyridine and benzimidazole functionalities. Mechanistic studies indicate that C—H amination proceeds through an electrophilic metallonitrene intermediate via a stepwise pathway where C—H cleavage is the rate-determining step of the reaction. Collectively these mechanistic features contrast previous base-metal catalyzed C—H aminations.

We report the development of an iron-catalyzed method for the selective oxyfunctionalization of benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds in aliphatic amine substrates. This transformation is selective for benzylic C-H bonds that are remote (i.e., at least three carbons) from the amine functional group. High site selectivity is achieved by in situ protonation of the amine with trifluoroacetic acid, which deactivates more traditionally reactive C-H sites that are α to nitrogen. The scope and synthetic utility of this method are demonstrated via the synthesis and derivatization of a variety of amine-containing, biologically active molecules.
