Cu-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Nitroarenes with Aryl Boronic Acids to Construct Diarylamines

The development and study of a simple copper-catalyzed reaction of nitroarenes with aryl boronic acids to form diarylamines that uses phenyl silane as the stoichiometric terminal reductant is described. This cross-coupling reaction requires as little as 2 mol % of CuX and 4 mol % of diphosphine for success and tolerates a broad range of functional groups on either the nitroarene or the aryl boronic acid to afford the amine in good yield. Mechanistic investigations established that the cross-coupling reaction proceeds via a nitrosoarene intermediate and that copper is required to catalyze both the deoxygenation of the nitroarene to afford the nitrosoarene and C-NAr bond formation of the nitrosoarene with the aryl boronic acid.

Light-Promoted C–N Coupling of Aryl Halides with Nitroarenes

A photochemical C–N coupling of aryl halides with nitroarenes is demonstrated for the first time. Catalyzed by a NiII complex in the absence of any external photosensitizer, readily available nitroarenes undergo coupling with a variety of aryl halides, providing a step-economic extension to the widely used Buchwald–Hartwig C–N coupling reaction. The method tolerates coupling partners with steric-congestion and functional groups sensitive to bases and nucleophiles. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via the addition of an aryl radical, generated from a NiI/NiIII cycle, to a nitrosoarene intermediate.

Crystallography-guided discovery of carbazole-based retinoic acid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt) modulators: insights into different protein behaviors with “short” and “long” inverse agonists

A series of 6-substituted carbazole-based retinoic acid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt) modulators were discovered through 6-position modification guided by insights from the crystallographic profiles of the “short” inverse agonist 6. With the increase in the size of the 6-position substituents, the “short” inverse agonist 6 first reversed its function to agonists and then to “long” inverse agonists. The cocrystal structures of RORγt complexed with the representative “short” inverse agonist 6 (PDB: 6LOB), the agonist 7d (PDB: 6LOA) and the “long” inverse agonist 7h (PDB: 6LO9) were revealed by X-ray analysis. However, minor differences were found in the binding modes of “short” inverse agonist 6 and “long” inverse agonist 7h. To further reveal the molecular mechanisms of different RORγt inverse agonists, we performed molecular dynamics simulations and found that “short” or “long” inverse agonists led to different behaviors of helixes H11, H11’, and H12 of RORγt. The “short” inverse agonist 6 destabilizes H11’ and dislocates H12, while the “long” inverse agonist 7h separates H11 and unwinds H12. The results indicate that the two types of inverse agonists may behave differently in downstream signaling, which may help identify novel inverse agonists with different regulatory mechanisms.

Pd-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Cross-Couplings of Aroyl Chlorides

This report describes a method for Pd-catalyzed decarbonylative cross-coupling that enables the conversion of carboxylic acid derivatives to biaryls, aryl amines, aryl ethers, aryl sulfides, aryl boronate esters, and trifluoromethylated arenes. The success of this transformation leverages the Pd0/Brettphos-catalyzed decarbonylative chlorination of aroyl chlorides, which can then participate in diverse cross-coupling reactions in situ using the same Pd catalyst.

Efficient and versatile buchwald-hartwig amination of (hetero)aryl chlorides using the Pd-PEPPSI-IPr(NMe2)2 precatalyst in the presence of carbonate base

The precatalyst Pd-PEPPSI-IPr(NMe2)2, in which the IPr ligand was modified by attachment of two dimethylamino groups on to the 4- and 5-positions of the imidazolyl heterocycle, was found to show high catalytic efficiency in the Buchwald-Hartwig amination under mild conditions using Cs2CO3 as a weak base, using a low catalyst loading of 1 mol-%. The protocol is applicable to aryl chlorides bearing base-sensitive substituents, as exemplified by the coupling of 4-chloroacetophenone with aniline. It can also be used with an unprecedentedly wide range of amines, including strongly basic secondary alkylamines, primary arylamines, and primary alkylamines. The Palladium precatalyst Pd-PEPPSI-IPr(NMe2)2, whose supporting N-heterocyclic carbene ligand was decorated with two dimethylamino groups, was found to catalyse the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of aryl halides with a wide range of amines under mild conditions using cesium carbonate as base.

T-BuXPhos: A highly efficient ligand for Buchwald-Hartwig coupling in water

An efficient and versatile 'green' catalytic system for the Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction in water is reported. In an aqueous micellar medium, the combination of t-BuXPhos with [(cinnamyl)PdCl]2 showed excellent performance for coupling arylbromides or chlorides with a large set of amines, amides, ureas and carbamates. The method is functional-group tolerant, proceeds smoothly (30 to 50 °C) and provides rapid access to the target compounds in good to excellent isolated yields. When applied to the synthesis of a known NaV1.8 modulator, this method led to a significant improvement of the E-factor in comparison with classical organic synthesis. the Partner Organisations 2014.

Room-temperature amination of deactivated aniline and aryl halide partners with carbonate base using a Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCl-o-picoline catalyst

Current state-of-the-art protocols for the coupling of unreactive amines (e.g., electron-poor anilines) with deactivated oxidative-addition partners (e.g., electron-rich and/or hindered aryl chlorides) involve strong heating (usually >100 °C) and/or tert-butoxide base, and even then not all couplings are successful. The aggressive base tert-butoxide reacts with and in many instances destroys the typical functional groups that are necessary for the function of most organic molecules, such as carbonyl groups, esters, nitriles, amides, alcohols, and amines. The new catalyst described herein, Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCl-o-picoline, is able to aminate profoundly deactivated coupling partners when using only carbonate base at room temperature. Running mild: An N-heterocyclic carbene complex of palladium (1) was systematically designed to enable the amination of strongly deactivated substrates (R1 can be strongly electron donating, R2 can be strongly electron-withdrawing) when using the most mild of bases (carbonate) at room temperature. This catalyst was used to produce elaborate, richly functionalized products for use in life-, health-, and material-science applications.

Development of potent and selective inhibitors of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) based on N -phenyl-aminobenzoates and their structure-activity relationships

Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3; type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) is overexpressed in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and is implicated in the intratumoral biosynthesis of testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone. Selective AKR1C3 inhibitors are required because compounds should not inhibit the highly related AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 isoforms which are involved in the inactivation of 5α-dihydrotestosterone. NSAIDs, N-phenylanthranilates in particular, are potent but nonselective AKR1C3 inhibitors. Using flufenamic acid, 2-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino}benzoic acid, as lead compound, five classes of structural analogues were synthesized and evaluated for AKR1C3 inhibitory potency and selectivity. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that a meta-carboxylic acid group relative to the amine conferred pronounced AKR1C3 selectivity without loss of potency, while electron withdrawing groups on the phenylamino B-ring were optimal for AKR1C3 inhibition. Lead compounds did not inhibit COX-1 or COX-2 but blocked the AKR1C3 mediated production of testosterone in LNCaP-AKR1C3 cells. These compounds offer promising leads toward new therapeutics for CRPC.

Amination with Pd-NHC complexes: Rate and computational studies involving substituted aniline substrates

The amination of aryl chlorides with various aniline derivatives using the N-heterocyclic carbene-based Pd complexes Pd-PEPPSI-IPr and Pd-PEPPSI-IPent (PEPPSI=pyridine, enhanced precatalyst, preparation, stabilization, and initiation; IPr=diisopropylphenylimidazolium derivative; IPent= diisopentylphenylimidazolium derivative) has been studied. Rate studies have shown a reliance on the aryl chloride to be electron poor, although oxidative addition is not rate limiting. Anilines couple best when they are electron rich, which would seem to discount deprotonation of the intermediate metal ammonium complex as being rate limiting in favour of reductive elimination. In previous studies with secondary amines using PEPPSI complexes, deprotonation was proposed to be the slow step in the cycle. These experimental findings relating to mechanism were corroborated by computation. Pd-PEPPSI-IPr and the more hindered Pd-PEPPSI-IPent catalysts were used to couple deactivated aryl chlorides with electron poor anilines; while the IPr catalysis was sluggish, the IPent catalyst performed extremely well, again showing the high reactivity of this broadly useful catalyst.
