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).

The formation of amides and peptides often necessitates powerful yet mild reagent systems. The reagents used, however, are often expensive and highly elaborate. New atom-economical and practical methods that achieve such goals are highly desirable. Ideally, the methods should start with substrates that are readily available in both chiral and non-chiral forms and utilize cheap reagents that are compatible with a wide variety of functional groups, steric encumberance, and epimerizable stereocenters. A direct oxidative method was developed to form amide and peptide bonds between amines and primary nitroalkanes simply by using I2 and K2CO3 under O2. Contrary to expectations, a 1:1 halogen-bonded complex forms between the iodonium source and the amine, which reacts with nitronates to form α-iodo nitroalkanes as precursors to the amides.

(Chemical equation presented) Nitro versus nitro: 4-Nitro-5- styrylisoxazoles were used as masked α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids in the titled catalytic asymmetric transformation. The 4-nitroisoxazole core acts as an activator of the conjugated alkene and a latent carboxylate functionality. The reaction proceeded with 5 mol% of a readily prepared phasetransfer catalyst at room temperature with remarkable diastereo- and enantioselectivity (see scheme).
