Copper-catalyzed aerobic C-C bond cleavage of lactols with N-hydroxy phthalimide for synthesis of lactones
Tnay, Ya Lin,Chiba, Shunsuke
, p. 873 - 877 (2015)
The transformation of cyclic hemiacetals (lactols) into lactones has been achieved by Cu-catalyzed aerobic C-C bond cleavage in the presence of N-hydroxy phthalimide (NHPI). The present process is composed of a multistep sequence including a) formation of exo-cyclic enol ethers by dehydration; b) addition of phthalimide N-oxyl radical to the enol ethers followed by trapping of the resulting C-radicals with molecular oxygen to form peroxy radicals; c) reductive generation of oxy radicals and subsequent β-radical fragmentation to generate lactones.

The ubiquity of nitrogen-containing small molecules in medicine necessitates the continued search for improved methods for C-N bond formation. Electrophilic amination often requires a disparate toolkit of reagents whose selection depends on the specific structure and functionality of the substrate to be aminated. Further, many of these reagents are challenging to handle, engage in undesired side reactions, and function only within a narrow scope. Here we report the use of diazirines as practical reagents for the decarboxylative amination of simple and complex redox-active esters. The diaziridines thus produced are readily diversifiable to amines, hydrazines, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles in one step. The reaction has also been applied in fluorous phase synthesis with a perfluorinated diazirine.

A straightforward and general method has been developed for the synthesis of phthalimide derivatives from 2-iodobenzamides and PPh3/I2/HCOOH in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2. The reaction results demonstrate that PPh3/I2/HCOOH is a facile, efficient and safe CO source. The whole process is carried out in toluene at 80 °C and furnishes the desired products in good to excellent yields.

Abstract: An efficient and simple synthetic protocol for the synthesis of a number methyl esters of 2-(N-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)benzoyl-substituted (S)-α-amino acids via subsequent coupling and hydroxyamination of 2-cyanobenzamide derivatives has been developed. Comparative analysis of three pseudopeptide series based on 2-cyano- and 2-amidoxime-substituted benzoic acid and its pyridine and pyrazine counterparts has been provided and it has revealed a practical advantage of the benzoic acid derivatives due to their greater availability. The impact of the nitrogen atom in the aromatic ring on the trans/cis-amide equilibrium in the proline derivatives is discussed. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
A Novel Green Synthesis of Thalidomide and Analogs
Benjamin, Ellis,Hijji, Yousef M.
, (2017/09/19)
Thalidomide and its derivatives are currently under investigation for their antiangiogenic, immunomodulative, and anticancer properties. Current methods used to synthesize these compounds involve multiple steps and extensive workup procedures. Described herein is an efficient microwave irradiation green synthesis method that allows preparation of thalidomide and its analogs in a one-pot multicomponent synthesis system. The multicomponent synthesis system developed involves an array of cyclic anhydrides, glutamic acid, and ammonium chloride in the presence of catalytic amounts of 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) to produce thalidomide and structurally related compounds within minutes in good isolated yields.
Spectroscopic and analysis of the hydrolytic process of folpet and its interaction with DNA
Zhang, Yepeng,Zhang, Guowen
, p. 1388 - 1401 (2014/12/10)
Hydrolysis of the pesticide folpet [N-(trichloromethylthio) phthalimide] in aqueous solution in the absence or presence of calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was investigated using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, and the interactions of folpet and its hydrolyzates with ctDNA were determined by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy, coupled with viscosity and melting temperature measurements. The absorption spectra data was further analyzed by alternate least squares, a chemometrics method, and the concentration profiles of the reacting species (folpet, unstable intermediate, phthalimide and phthalic acid) and their pure component spectra were simultaneously extracted to monitor the hydrolytic process. It was found that the hydrolytic process consists of at least two steps, generation of an unstable intermediate and production of its end hydrolyzates, phthalimide and phthalic acid. Addition of ctDNA significantly affects the hydrolysis of folpet. The results from the competitive binding with intercalator ethidium bromide, ctDNA melting and viscosity measurements, and circular dichroism studies indicate that folpet and the intermediate can intercalate into the double-helix of DNA, phthalic acid is bound to DNA by a partial intercalation, while phthalimide does not show binding to ctDNA. Moreover, the binding of folpet (or the intermediate) and phthalic acid to ctDNA induced structural changes of the DNA.
Electrochemical reduction of N,N′-thiobisphthalimide and N,N′-dithiobisphthalimide: Ejection of diatomic sulfur through an autocatalytic mechanism
Hamed, Emad M.,Koczkur, Kallum M.,Houmam, Abdelaziz
, p. 22600 - 22610 (2015/02/02)
The electrochemical reduction of N,N′-dithiobisphthalimide and N,N′-thiobisphthalimide is investigated using electrochemical techniques and theoretical calculations. The results are rationalized using adequate electron transfer theories. The reduction leads to the ejection of diatomic sulfur and involves an interesting autocatalytic mechanism. This mechanism is dependent on the concentration of the initial compound and the cyclic voltammetric scan rate. The starting material is reduced both at the electrode and through homogeneous electron transfer from the produced sulfur. The initial electron transfer follows a stepwise mechanism involving the formation of the corresponding radical anion. This is supported by both the electrochemical data and the theoretical calculation results. The radical anion of the N,N′-dithiobisphthalimide dissociates through cleavage of the N-S chemical bond and not the S-S chemical bond. Application of the extension of the dissociative electron transfer theory to the dissociation of radical anions shows that the N-S chemical bond dissociates despite being stronger than the S-S chemical bond. This is due to the large difference in the oxidation potentials of the two potential anions (the phthalimidyl anion and the phthalimidyl thiyl anion). The electrochemical reduction of N,N′-thiobisphthalimide involves the intermediate formation of N,N′-dithiobisphthalimide and hence the autocatalytic process is less efficient.

Ethylene glycol (EG) and phosphoric acid have been found to promote the ammonolysis of a variety of diverse anilides as well as N-aryl carbamate, phthalimide, and urea substrates in the absence of transition metals or other Lewis acid promoters.
Mechanistic aspects of oxidation of dextrose by N-bromophthalimide in acidic medium: A micellar kinetic study
Singh, Minu
, p. 469 - 484 (2013/07/27)
Kinetic investigations of oxidation of dextrose by N-bromophthalimide (NBP) in acidic medium in the presence of mercuric(II) acetate as a scavenger have been studied. In both the absence and presence of surfactants, the oxidation kinetics of dextrose by NBP shows a first-order dependence on NBP, fractional order on dextrose, and negative fractional order dependence on sulfuric acid. The determined stoichiometric ratio was 1:1 (dextrose:NBP). The variation of Hg(OAC)2 and phthalimide (reaction product) have an insignificant effect on reaction rate. Effects of surfactants, added acrylonitrile, added salts, and solvent composition variation have been studied. Activation parameters for the reaction have been evaluated from Arrhenius plot by studying the reaction at different temperature. The rate law has been derived on the basis of obtained data. A plausible mechanism has been proposed from the results of kinetic studies, reaction stoichiometry and product analysis. The role of anionic and non-ionic micelle was best explained by the Berezin's model.

The oxidative C-O cross-coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and their heteroanalogues, 2-substituted malononitriles and cyanoacetic esters, with N-substituted hydroxamic acids and N-hydroxy- imides was realized. The best results were obtained with the use of manganese (III) acetate [Mn (OAc) 3] or the cobalt(II) acetate catalyst [Co (OAc)2cat.]/ potassium permanganate [KMnO4] system as the oxidant. The synthesis can be scaled up to gram quantities of coupling products; yields are 30-94%. The reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism through the formation of nitroxyl radicals from N-substituted hydroxamic acids and N-hydroxyimides.
