Diamine Synthesis via the Nitrogen-Directed Azidation of σ- And π-C-C Bonds

Diamines are essential building blocks for the synthesis of agrochemicals, drugs, and organic materials, yet their synthesis remains challenging, as both nitrogens need to be differentiated and diverse substitution patterns (1,2, 1,3, or 1,4) are required. We report herein a new strategy giving access to 1,2, 1,3, and 1,4 amido azides as orthogonally protected diamines based on the nitrogen-directed diazidation of alkenes, cyclopropanes, and cyclobutanes. Commercially available copper thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTc, 2 mol %) as catalyst promoted the diazidation of both πand σ C-C bonds within 10 min in the presence of readily available oxidants and trimethylsilyl azide. Selective substitution of the formed α-amino azide by carbon nucleophiles (electron-rich aromatic, malonate, organosilicon, organoboron, organozinc, and organomagnesium compounds) was then achieved in a one-pot fashion, leading to the formation of 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines with the amino groups protected orthogonally as an amide/carbamate and an azide.

A general N-alkylation platform via copper metallaphotoredox and silyl radical activation of alkyl halides

The catalytic union of amides, sulfonamides, anilines, imines, or N-heterocycles with a broad spectrum of electronically and sterically diverse alkyl bromides has been achieved via a visible-light-induced metallaphotoredox platform. The use of a halogen abstraction-radical capture (HARC) mechanism allows for room temperature coupling of C(sp3)-bromides using simple Cu(II) salts, effectively bypassing the prohibitively high barriers typically associated with thermally induced SN2 or SN1 N-alkylation. This regio- and chemoselective protocol is compatible with >10 classes of medicinally relevant N-nucleophiles, including established pharmaceutical agents, in addition to structurally diverse primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl bromides. Furthermore, the capacity of HARC methodologies to engage conventionally inert coupling partners is highlighted via the union of N-nucleophiles with cyclopropyl bromides and unactivated alkyl chlorides, substrates that are incompatible with nucleophilic substitution pathways. Preliminary mechanistic experiments validate the dual catalytic, open-shell nature of this platform, which enables reactivity previously unattainable in traditional halide-based N-alkylation systems.

Oxidative Fluorination of Cyclopropylamides through Organic Photoredox Catalysis

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform cyclopropylamides and cyclobutylamides into fluorinated imines. The imines can be isolated in their more stable hemiaminal form, with the fluorine atom installed selectively at the γ or δ position. Both inexpensive benzophenone with UVA light or organic and inorganic dyes with blue light could be used as photoredox catalysts to promote this process. Various fluorinated amines were then obtained by nucleophilic attack on the hemiaminals in one pot, giving access to a broad range of useful building blocks for medicinal chemistry.

Synthesis of thiochromans via [3+3] annulation of aminocyclopropanes with thiophenols

We report the one-pot synthesis of 4-amino thiochromans using simple aminocyclopropanes and thiophenols through a formal [3+3] annulation reaction. This reaction proceeds under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance. The thiochroman core was

Tert -Butyl nitrite promoted transamidation of secondary amides under metal and catalyst free conditions

A mild and efficient method is demonstrated for the transamidation of secondary amides with various amines including primary, secondary, cyclic and acyclic amines in the presence of tert-butyl nitrite. The reaction proceeds through the N-nitrosamide intermediate and provides the transamidation products in good to excellent yields at room temperature. Moreover, the developed methodology does not require any catalyst or additives.

1,3-Difunctionalization of Aminocyclopropanes via Dielectrophilic Intermediates

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform acyl, sulfonyl or carbamate protected aminocyclopropanes into 1,3-dielectrophilic carbon intermediates bearing a halide atom (Br, I) and a N,O-acetal. Replacing the alkoxy group of the N,O-acetal can be achieved under acidic conditions through an elimination–addition pathway, while substitution of the halides by nucleophiles can be done under basic conditions through a SN2 pathway, generating a wide range of 1,3-difunctionalized propylamines. A proof of concept for asymmetric induction was realized using a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) as catalyst, highlighting the potential of the method in enantioselective synthesis of important building blocks.

Co2(CO)8 as a convenient in situ CO source for the direct synthesis of benzamides from aryl halides (Br/I) via aminocarbonylation

A fast, mild, and functional group tolerant method for the direct synthesis of benzamides from aryl halides (Br, I) via aminocarbonylation, using solid Co2(CO)8 as a convenient CO source, has been demonstrated. The developed method is applicable to a wide variety of 1° and cyclic and acyclic 2°amines. Nitro substituted (o, m and p) aryl halides have easily been converted to the corresponding benzamides, without the reduction of the nitro group, in high yields using this in situ carbonylation methodology under microwave irradiation.

POTENTIAL CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVE AGENTS. 3. SYNTHESIS OF SOME SUBSTITUTED BENZAMIDES AND PHENYLACETAMIDES.

The preparation and special properties (IR, **1H NMR) are given for 45 benzamides and 10 phenylacetamides substituted on nitrogen with allyl, benzhydryl, benzyl, or cyclopropyl groups, and variously substituted on the acyl part with halo, methoxyl, methyl, or nitro groups. The benzamide derivatives were synthesized by the Schotten-Baumann method, and the phenylacetamide derivatives were prepared by heating the appropriate N-benzhydrylammonium salt in o-xylene. Thirty-one of the compounds are new.
