  • Palladium/Charcoal-Catalysed Olefin Reduction for the Simple and Efficient
           Synthesis of Substituted gem-Diborylalkanes

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Das; Kanak Kanti, Ghorai, Debraj, Mahato, Somenath, Panda, Santanu
      Abstract: gem-Diborylalkanes have recently emerged as valuable synthons for diverse C–C bond-forming reactions. They represent an important class of bifunctional reagents that can be applied for the synthesis of simple to complex skeletons. Herein, we report a Pd-catalysed hydrogenation method for the synthesis of gem-diborylalkanes from the corresponding gem-diborylalkenes, which are themselves prepared from the corresponding aldehydes and ketones using known procedures. In addition, transformations of two representative gem-diborylalkane products are discussed leading to a range of functionalised derivatives.

      Abstract: Catalyzed by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ)/tert-butyl nitrite (TBN)/O2, an efficient tandem oxidative reaction of uracils/thiouracil with 1,3-diarylpropenes is disclosed. It undergoes oxidative coupling, intramolecular cyclization, and dehydro-aromatization to provide multi-substituted pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines/thiopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines in moderate to excellent yields. It has the advantages of high atom economy, green terminal oxidant, and metal-free conditions.

           Complexes: A New Strategy for the Synthesis of Flavone, Quinolone, and
           Benzofuran Derivatives

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Singh; Apurva, Singh, Sain, Ghosh, Kaushik, Ahmed, Naseem
      Abstract: An efficient and convenient synthetic protocol is reported for the synthesis of 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, 2-phenylquinolin-4(1H)-one, and 11H-benzofuro[3,2-b]chromen-11-one derivatives from 2′-hydroxychalcones, 2′-aminochalcones, and 3-hydroxyflavones, respectively, using transition-metal catalysts and TEMPO as an oxidizing agent. This catalytic heterocyclization approach involves in situ free-radical generation as phenoxyl radicals were detected by EPR spectroscopic study and H2O2 was formed. The present method has numerous advantages, such as high atom-economy, less hazardous synthesis, benign solvent and auxiliaries, easy handling, and broader substrate scope with good to excellent product yields.

           Expanding the Library of Phenylalaninols

      Authors: Singh; Prabhakar, Babu, Srinivasarao Arulananda
      Abstract: We report the Pd(II)-catalyzed, picolinamide-directed δ-C(sp2)–H (ortho) functionalization of phenylalaninol scaffolds. Assembling of (ortho) δ-C–H arylated, alkylated, benzylated, alkenylated, brominated, and iodinated phenylalaninol scaffolds was accomplished. The δ-C(sp2)–H arylation reaction of phenylalaninol occurred under neat conditions. Hydrolysis of the picolinamide moiety and synthetic utility of the δ-C(sp2)–H arylated substrates were explored. We have also shown the preparation of some modified Matijin–Su (aurantiamide) derivatives using the bis δ-C–H (ortho) arylated phenylalaninol compounds obtained from the δ-C(sp2)–H arylation reaction (Matijin–Su is an anti-HBV agent possessing the phenylalaninol unit). Considering the importance of phenylalaninols, this work contributes to expanding the phenylalaninol library and demonstrates the substrate scope development in remote δ-C(sp2)–H functionalization reactions.

      Authors: Wei; Lin-Wen, Ma, Zhan-Cai, Wang, Zhao-Qing, Zhao, Yu, Huang, Yuan
      Abstract: Efficient access to enantioenriched cyclic homopropargylic alcohols through an unprecedented cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric alkynylation of oxabicyclic alkenes has been developed. By using inexpensive cobalt salt/chiral bisphosphine ligand as the catalyst and easy-to-handle potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates as the nucleophile, synthetically valuable homopropargylic alcohols are obtained in moderate to good yields and high enantioselectivities.

      Authors: Seki; Katsunori, Makikawa, Takumi, Toshima, Kazunobu, Takahashi, Daisuke
      Abstract: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli O1 (APEC O1) is a pathogenic bacterium that causes significant economic losses in the poultry industry and raises concerns about zoonotic infections. The development of effective vaccines against APEC O1 is essential due to antibiotic resistance and the potential for severe symptoms in both chickens and humans. In this context, we have been focusing on the O1A, O1B, and O1C antigen structures derived from E. coli O1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In this study, the first synthesis of the pentasaccharide repeating units of the O1B and O1C antigens was successfully achieved. The synthesis and immunological evaluation of their conjugates with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were conducted. Only the O1A-pentasaccharide structure is a glycotope candidate for APEC O1. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)–O1A-pentasaccharide conjugate was also synthesized, and its immunogenicity was evaluated by the ELISA assay. The efficient production of antibodies capable of binding to both APEC O1 LPS and the O1A-pentasaccharide structure was observed, indicating that O1A-pentasaccharide is a promising vaccine candidate against APEC O1.

      Authors: Komijani; Samira, Orellana, Arturo
      Abstract: The thermal electrocyclization of heptatrienyl anions is reviewed. We begin with a succinct background on the importance of cycloheptane rings in complex molecules and a brief survey of approaches to their synthesis. We also review the fundamental aspects of this electrocyclization manifold, relying on the Woodward–Hoffmann rules for pericyclic chemistry. Then we survey the literature, covering the burst of discovery in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the more sporadic reports in from the 1990s to the present day.1 Introduction2 The Electrocyclization of Heptatrienyl Anions3 Discovery and Early Development (1964–1975)4 Recent Developments (1996–2023)5 Concluding Remarks

      Abstract: The potential of the Heck reaction for the C-glycosylation of phenolic compounds was explored. An efficient and general methodology for the synthesis of C-glycosylated phenolic compounds based on the Heck coupling of halogenated phenolic derivatives (chromones, 2-styrylchromones, and xanthones) and sugar alkenes was developed. The protocol was applied to the preparation of previously unreported C-glycosylated 2-styrylchromones and xanthones of potential biological relevance.

      Authors: Wanic; Daria K., Melvin, Rebecca, Barker, Graeme
      Abstract: C–H Deprotometalations have long occupied a key role in modern organic synthesis in both the research laboratory and pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacture, thanks to readily accessible reagents and well-established procedures. Typically, organolithiums are the reagent of choice thanks to high reactivity and ease of use but these are incompatible with base- and nucleophile-sensitive functional groups. In comparison, organozinc base complexes offer a milder approach to deprotonative C–H functionalisations, and compatibility with a wide range of functionalities which would be problematic when using the alternative organolithium or organomagnesium reagents has now been demonstrated. Here, we review the current state of the art in zinc-mediated C–H metalations at substituted arenes, heteroarenes, and Csp3–H sites.1 Introduction2 Csp2–H Functionalisation Using Zinc Bases2.1 Functionalised Arenes2.2 Heterocycles3 Csp3–H Functionalisation Using Zinc Bases3.1 Zinc Enolate Formation: Traditional Approach3.2 Zinc Enolate Formation via Zinc Bases3.3 Non-Enolic Csp3–H Zincations4 Conclusion

  • C-5 Epimerisation of d-Mannopyranosyl Fluorides: The Influence of Anomeric
           Configuration on Radical Reactivity

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: See; Nicholas W., Pierens, Gregory K., Krenske, Elizabeth H., Ferro, Vito
      Abstract: The fluorine-directing effect has so far been exploited to provide short and efficient synthetic routes to rare l-ido sugars. However, the importance of anomeric configuration to its success has remained experimentally unverified. We now report on the synthesis of α- and β-configured per-O-benzoylated mannopyranosyl fluorides and initially show that their reactivity towards photo-bromination is strongly dependent on the anomeric configuration. The stereochemical basis of the fluorine-directing effect is then validated by revealing the striking difference in stereoselectivity observed for the free-radical reductions of the isolated 5-C-bromo sugars. This work importantly provides a synthetic route to a donor-functionalised derivative of l-gulose and reveals new insights into the behaviour of glycosyl radicals.

      Abstract: The concise and efficient synthesis of (+)-goniothalesdiol A and (–)-parvistone E (leiocarpin A), as well as the first total syntheses of (–)-6-epi-goniothalesdiol A and (–)-8-epi-9-deoxygoniopypyrone acetate, have been achieved in four or five longest linear steps based on the chiron approach. The potential biological activities of four 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-containing natural products were explored based on a panel of human cancer cell lines, BV-2 microglia and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Our results indicate that these four natural products display significant adipogenic activity in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, but do not have clear effects on cancer cell proliferation or LPS stimulated microglia activation.

      Abstract: A facile, efficient, and economical synthesis of both β-proline enantiomers starting from trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline is reported. Light-promoted radical Barton decarboxylation and nitrile introduction at C4 followed by hydrolysis gives the desired products in high optical purity. These routes should be of interest to those seeking economical access to β-proline for multiple applications.

      Authors: Gramage-Doria; Rafael, Bruneau, Christian
      Abstract: An overview of the key achievements concerning C–C bond-forming processes with diazines (pyridazines, pyrimidines, and pyrazines) and benzodiazines (cinnolines, phthalazines, quinazolines, and quinoxalines) under transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation is presented. The focus is on examples in which C–H functionalization takes place in the diazine or benzodiazine core because of the relevance of these compounds in material science and as active pharmaceutical ingredients. These metal-catalyzed protocols benefit from the biased reactivity of the C–H bonds targeted or from the presence of a rationally designed directing group proximate to the C–H bond to be functionalized. As such, innovative alkylations, alkenylations, alkynylations, arylations, and carboxylations are accomplished within such skeletons in a step- and atom-economy fashion.1 Introduction2 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Alkylation of Diazines3 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Alkynylation of Diazines4 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Alkenylation of Diazines5 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Arylation of Diazines6 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Carboxylation of Diazines7 Conclusion

      Abstract: The site-selective insertion of metal carbenes via C(sp2)–H bond functionalization is an interesting topic within the synthetic chemistry community. In recent years, studies on the formation and applications of copper carbene intermediates have increased significantly due to their cost-effectiveness and versatile reactivities. Furthermore, copper-catalyzed transformations involving C(sp2)–H insertions using diazo and related compounds, along with asymmetric versions, have emerged as new tools for C–C bond formation. This short review summarizes selected recent advances in this field.1 Introduction2 Insertion of Copper Carbenes into Aryl C(sp2)–H Bonds of Arenes3 Copper Carbene Insertion into Aryl C(sp2)–H Bonds of Azaheteroarenes4 Copper Carbene Insertion into C(sp2)–H Bonds of Alkenes5 Conclusions and Perspectives

      Authors: Gu; Cheng-Yu, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Dong-Xing, Han, Fu-She
      Abstract: A concise and flexible procedure for the synthesis of structurally novel C2′-sulfonylated quinine derivatives is developed. Through careful optimization of the reaction conditions, most of the reactions can be performed in high yields at gram or several hundreds of milligram scale. Since cinchona-based derivatives are widely used in asymmetric catalysis, the synthetic route developed herein provides an efficient and practical pathway for the diverse synthesis of new cinchona derivatives as potential chiral ligands or multifunctional organocatalysts.

      Authors: Kumar; Ganesh, Ray, Subhasish, Shukla, Gaurav, Singh, Maya Shankar
      Abstract: A facile and efficient one-pot synthesis of bench-stable quinoxaline N-oxides has been realized using α-oxoketene N,S-acetals and tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) in open air via cascade annulation. The double functionalization of N,S-acetals proceeds through an unanticipated (Csp2)–H nitrosation by NO radical (generated in situ by TBN) and subsequent intramolecular N-arylation leading to quinoxaline, which undergoes oxidation to quinoxaline N-oxides harboring three variegated substituents on their framework. Notably, two new C–N bonds are formed with the same N-oxide nitrogen. This protocol features short reaction time, good functional group tolerance and mild conditions, and does not require the use of either catalyst or external additive.

  • Advances in Nickel-Catalyzed O-Arylation of Aliphatic Alcohols and Phenols
           with (Hetero)aryl Electrophiles

      Authors: Morrison; Kathleen M., Stradiotto, Mark
      Abstract: Transition-metal catalysis has been consequential in enabling carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Recent breakthroughs in Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings have offered competitive and, in some cases, superior reactivity to Pd- or Cu-based processes. Amidst the ongoing renaissance in this field, the Ni-catalyzed C–O cross-coupling of alcohols and (hetero)aryl (pseudo)halides has surfaced as an effective strategy for the synthesis of (hetero)aryl ethers. Methodologies to achieve such transformations tend to rely on one of three catalytic approaches: (i) thermal conditions often accompanied by ancillary ligand design tailored for Ni catalysis; (ii) the synergistic combination of photoredox and Ni catalysis; or (iii) electrochemically driven Ni catalysis. In some instances, these protocols have provided access to expanded C–O cross-coupling substrate scope, including the use of inexpensive and abundant electrophile coupling partners (e.g., (hetero)aryl chlorides). This Short Review aims to summarize recent progress in the development of Ni-catalyzed O-arylations of primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic alcohols, as well as phenols, with (hetero)aryl electrophiles.1 Introduction2 Thermally Promoted Ni C–O Cross-Coupling2.1 Primary and Secondary Aliphatic Alcohols2.2 Tertiary Aliphatic Alcohols2.3 Phenols3 Photochemically Promoted Ni C–O Cross-Coupling3.1 Primary and Secondary Aliphatic Alcohols3.2 Phenols4 Electrochemically Promoted Ni C–O Cross-Coupling4.1 Primary and Secondary Aliphatic Alcohols5 Conclusions and Outlook

      Abstract: An electrochemical oxidative ortho-dearomatization of naphthols and phenols with an intramolecular C–O bond formation has been developed. A careful optimization of the reaction parameters allowed for the application of free phenols as the starting materials, in contrast to the existing alternative procedures necessitating aryl methyl ether substrates. The reaction delivers an array of spirolactones and spiroethers in yields up to 97%, under simple experimental conditions: in a constant current mode, using an undivided cell, and without an inert atmosphere. The method avoids using catalysts or stoichiometric oxidants (e.g., hypervalent iodine reagents), generating hydrogen as the sole byproduct.

      Abstract: A Trost Pd-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition between a p-benzyloxy cinnamate bearing an Evans auxiliary and 1-trimethylsilyl-2-acetoxymethylpropene is disclosed leading to, after functional group manipulation, previously unreported diastereoisomeric 3-amino-5-arylcyclopentane 1-carboxylic acids via the corresponding 3-hydroxy and 3-azido precursors. The availability of these conformationally restricted cyclic amino acids may find utility in the context of CNS-active compounds related to GABA, or as peripheral units of bioactive pharmaceuticals. An expedient alternative 4-step synthesis of 3S-amino-5S-p-hydroxyphenyl-1S-cyclopentane carboxylic acid methyl ester was achieved starting with the (–)-Vince lactam and utilizing a regio- and diastereoselective Pd-catalyzed hydroarylation reaction.

The variability in reaction kinetics initially encountered was resolved via the use of sodium tert-butoxide as a homogeneous base and a careful selection of precatalyst by examination of the catalyst activation mechanism. Extraction with aqueous acid followed by careful pH adjustment allowed us to isolate the product with excellent purge of impurities. The process was successfully implemented in up to 18 kg demonstration.

      Abstract: Nearly 60 years have passed since Professor Eaton’s practical synthesis of cubane, and research using it as a unique molecular scaffold has since gained momentum. Since the early synthesis of polynitrocubane, it has been shown that up to eight substituents can be covalently assembled into a confined space. The arrangement of substituents on cubane has paved the way for the creation of unique asymmetric molecules. To put it another way, chirality is manifested by selectively introducing three or more diverse types of substituents at specific sites. Recently, there has also been a report on the synthesis of perfluorocubane, a molecule with intriguing electronic properties.1 Introduction2 General Information3 Functionalization of Cubane4 Preparation of Polysubstituted Cubanes5 Conclusion

      Abstract: Platinum(II) complexes with one cyclometalated phenylpyridine or benzo[h]quinoline (C^N) ligand and an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand are a robust and readily available class of sky-blue to green phosphorescent triplet emitters. They can be used as a benchmark system to investigate the influence of different ligands on the emissive properties of these [Pt(C^N)(NHC)I] complexes. This new class of compounds was fully characterized by standard techniques. Additionally a solid-state structure could be obtained. Photoluminescence measurements at room temperature revealed the strong emissive behavior of these compounds with quantum yields of up to 80%. The effect of electron-withdrawing and -donating groups on the photophysical properties was examined and rationalized by density functional theory calculations (PBE0/6-311G(d)).

      Abstract: Herein we present a facile four-step synthetic method for the synthesis of novel 2-aryl-substituted 7,8-dihydroquinolin-6(5H)-ones as cytotoxic agents. The key step was the use of Mannich salts derived from acetophenones as a Michael acceptor in the reaction with cyclohexane-1,4-dione monoethylene acetal to give 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds that were treated with ammonium acetate to give the 7,8-dihydroquinolin-6(5H)-ones. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against seven cell lines. The observed data showed good selectivity for chronic myeloid leukemia line K-562. The synthetic route was simple and applicable to various functional group containing substrates. These types of compounds may be utilized as lead compounds in cancer research and drug discovery.

      Abstract: A general study on selective functionalization of unsubstituted oxazole is reported. Specific halogenation at C2 and C5 was enabled by a sequential deprotonation strategy that was based on the different pK a values of these positions, while a halide at C4 may be introduced by an optimized halogen dance reaction. Efficient protocols for subsequent sp2–sp2 and sp2–sp3 cross-coupling reactions of the derived oxazolyl halides were then established. This modular approach was applied in the total synthesis of ajudazol A and a selected analogue, demonstrating the general feasibility of these conditions in a complex setting.

The as-fabricated catalytic membrane Pd-KH792-CM has shown high activity and selectivity in the flow-through Mizoroki–Heck reactions. The consistently high activity of the catalytic membrane in the five cycles has also proved its good stability and recyclability. Synthesis of drug molecules has further demonstrated that the catalytic membrane protocol is a powerful and comprehensive alternative to the traditional Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling.

The adducts revealed unexpected reactivity in the attempted O-acylation reaction, and provided the corresponding 5-phosphonoyl-1,2-oxaphospholane 2-oxides. On treatment with Cs2CO3, instead of the expected rearrangement a cyclization reaction leading to the same ring products took place. Three of the phosphonoylethyl-α hydroxy-ethylphosphonates, along with two phosphonoylmethyl analogues revealed significant and selective anticancer effect on A431 cells, and occasionally, on PC-3 and MDA-MB 231 cells.

      Abstract: The palladium-catalyzed homo-dimerization of terminal alkynes is a powerful and atom-economic method for the preparation of highly unsaturated four-carbon skeletons, which are key structural units found in natural and/or biologically active products and materials. However, during the homo-dimerization of terminal alkynes, a major issue is control of the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Thus, over the past few decades, various strategies and methods have been developed that employ palladium catalytic systems for such homo-dimerizations. In this Short Review, we highlight important methods for the selective synthesis of these valuable four-carbon compounds, including conjugated 1,3-enynes, 1,3-diynes, and 1,3-dienes.1 Introduction2 Redox-Neutral Homo-Dimerization of Terminal Alkynes for the Synthesis of 1,3-Enynes2.1 Head-to-Head Dimerization2.2 Head-to-Tail Dimerization3 Oxidative Homo-Dimerization of Terminal Alkynes for the Synthesis of 1,3-Diynes3.1 Unsupported Palladium Catalysts3.1.1 Choice of Oxidant3.1.2 Choice of Ligand3.1.3 Choice of Solvent3.2 Supported Palladium Catalysts4 Reductive Homo-Dimerization of Terminal Alkynes for the Synthesis of 1,3-Dienes5 Conclusion

      Abstract: Oxindole is a widely used scaffold in drug discovery, which can be found in several marketed drugs, among them sunitinib and ziprasidone. Thus, the derivatization of oxindole is of considerable current interest. The extreme reaction conditions (high temperature, high pressure) described in the literature for the batchwise regioselective multistep 3-alkylation of oxindole with alcohols in the presence of Raney nickel motivated us to develop a robust, time- and cost-efficient continuous-flow variant for this reaction. In addition, the continuous-flow technology was also extended to the reductive 3-alkylation of oxindole with aldehydes. The elaborated methodology allows the safe use of Raney nickel, an inexpensive and widely applied, albeit pyrophoric catalyst. Under the optimized reaction conditions, 10 oxindole derivatives were synthesized ranging from simple 3-alkyl to 3-aralkyl derivatives including two (trifluoromethyl)benzyl congeners. The technology is considerably robust and the catalyst showed a long-term usability. The model reaction between oxindole and acetaldehyde could be run for 16 hours uninterruptedly, rendering possible the efficient ethylation of about 20 g of oxindole utilizing only approximately 800 mg of Raney nickel.

      Abstract: Despite the C–H functionalization of arenes offering an efficient synthetic route towards functionalized aromatic compounds with high atom- and step-economy, the low reactivity of the C–H bond makes this transformation rather challenging. Compared with mono-metal catalysis, the introduction of bimetallic catalysis would greatly enhance the reactivity and selectivity of this transformation. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the C–H functionalization of arenes via NHC-Ni/Al catalysis. The added aluminum as a co-catalyst would activate arene through Lewis acid-base interaction, and regioselectivity could be controlled through the synergism of NHC-Ni and Al. This strategy could be also applied in enantioselective C–H alkylation with well-designed chiral NHC ligands.1 Introduction2 C–H Addition to Alkynes via C–H Activation3 C–H Alkylation via Ni/Al Bimetallic Catalysis3.1 Racemic Hydroarylation with Alkenes3.2 Asymmetric Hydroarylation with Alkenes4 Conclusion and Outlook

      Abstract: A photoinduced palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction involving remote C(sp3)–H functionalization and intramolecular Tsuji–Trost annulation is developed. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a sequence involving the amidyl radical generation, 1,5-HAT-mediated alkyl radical formation, and subsequent difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes. Without the use of exogeneous photosensitizers and external oxidants, the reaction provided an efficient approach to multi-substituted chiral piperidines in high yields, employing readily available chiral amino acid derivatives and 1,3-dienes as the substrates. In most cases, the syn/anti ratio of the product could be further improved by treatment with catalytic amount of iron salt.

      Abstract: We present herein a synthetic endeavor to prepare the epoxy-lactone moiety commonly present in the C/D ring of highly oxygenated triterpenes. Two strategies are applied starting from ursolic acid­: (i) Br+-promoted cyclization–isomerization for late-stage epoxidation, and (ii) one-step SeO2-promoted oxidative cyclization. Additionally, the desired epoxy-lactone moiety can be readily prepared on gram scale in one step by using the modified SeO2/TBHP/AcOH oxidative system.

      Pages: Abstract: An operationally simple and expeditious protocol for Ru(II)-catalyzed ortho-C(sp2)–H hydroxyalkylation of phthalazinones using commercially available ethyl glyoxalate in 2-Me-THF is reported. This greener approach involves the imine nitrogen on the phthalazinones as a directing group to effect the regioselective hydroxyalkylation. Ample examples of biologically relevant hydroxyalkylated phthalazinones were prepared, and relevant controlled studies were performed to decipher the reaction mechanism.

      Authors: Rochelle; Servane, Beaumont, Stéphane
      Abstract: A one-pot procedure towards substituted 2-hydroxypyrimidines from commercially available isoxazoles is reported. The process involves cleavage of the isoxazole N–O bond mediated by Mo2(OAc)4, then in situ hydrolysis of the resulting β-amino enone to the reactive 1,3-dicarbonylated intermediate, followed by hydroxypyrimidine formation in the presence of urea. Moderate to excellent yields are obtained, leading to functionalized hydroxypyrimidines. By using readily available isoxazoles, a wide range of new diverse polysubstituted hydroxypyrimidines may be prepared by this method.

      Abstract: Terminal alkynes undergo intermolecular hydroaminoalkylation reactions with secondary amines in the presence of titanium catalysts and depending on the catalyst and the structure of the substrates, allylic amines and/or imines are formed as products in moderate yields. In addition, the desired allylamines can also be obtained from a convenient reaction sequence consisting of an initial hydroaminoalkylation of trimethylsilyl-protected alkynes and a subsequent protodesilylation that selectively delivers γ-unsubstituted allylamines.

      Authors: Pramanik; Milan, Melen, Rebecca L.
      Abstract: The diverse applicability of diazo compounds as versatile reagents has enlarged the chemical toolbox in organic synthesis. Over the past few decades, transition-metal-catalyzed diazo compound activation has ignited the classical synthetic methodology via utilizing highly reactive metal carbenoid species. Many reviews have also appeared in the literature that show the advantages and disadvantages of metal-catalyzed activation of diazo compounds. Recently, tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-mediated diazo activation reactions has remodeled this research area due to the potential for mild, environmentally friendly, metal-free, nontoxic reaction conditions, and the diverse reactivity patterns of boranes towards diazo compounds. In this review, we discuss the reactivity of the boron–diazo precursor adducts with compounds using catalytic and stoichiometric halogenated triarylboranes and, the mechanism of N2 release from the diazo reagent. This generates the reactive carbene species as a key intermediate which can further be exploited for O–H, N–H, S–H, and C–H insertions, azide insertion, carbonate transfer, C–C and C=C bond forming reactions, [2+2] or [2+4] cascade cyclization reactions, annulation reactions, etc.1 Introduction2 Diazo Activation Using Stoichiometric Boranes3 Diazo Activation Using Catalytic B(C6F5)3 4 B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Diazo Activation Reactions5 Conclusions

      Abstract: Catalytic enantioselective 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization (1,2-DCF) of alkenes is a powerful transformation of growing importance in organic synthesis for constructing chiral building blocks, bioactive molecules, and agrochemicals. Both in a two- and three-component context, this family of reactions generates densely functionalized, structurally complex products in a single step. Across several distinct mechanistic pathways at play in these transformations with nickel or palladium catalysts, stereocontrol can be obtained through tailored chiral ligands. In this Review we discuss the various strategies, mechanisms, and catalysts that have been applied to achieve enantioinduction in alkene 1,2-DCF.1 Introduction2 Two-Component Enantioselective 1,2-DCF via Migratory Insertion3 Two-Component Enantioselective 1,2-DCF via Radical Capture4 Three-Component Enantioselective 1,2-DCF via Radical Capture5 Three-Component Enantioselective 1,2-DCF via Migratory Insertion6 Miscellaneous Mechanisms7 Conclusion

      Authors: Khatua; Hillol, Das, Subrata, Patra, Sima, Chattopadhyay, Buddhadeb
      Abstract: Organosilicon compounds are highly important molecular scaffolds with versatile synthetic utility, and are used in a range of transformations. Such organosilicon compounds are employed in a wide range of research areas, including medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fine chemicals, etc. Moreover, they are commonly encountered in a number of commercial products. However, the preparation of organosilicon compounds by means of traditional methods significantly limit their wider applications. Recently, several new concepts and powerful methods have been developed in order to prepare organosilicon compounds via transition-metal catalysis or without metal catalysis. While many procedures have been reported for the silylation of aromatic systems, methods for the silylation of heteroarenes are scarce. Nevertheless several excellent and robust strategies for heteroarene silylation have been discovered. In this short review, we summarize the different methods, mechanisms and catalyst development for the regioselective silylation of heteroarenes.1 Introduction2 Silylation of C–H Bonds through Organometallic Intermediates2.1 Intermolecular C–H Bond Silylation Assisted by Directing Groups2.2 Undirected Intermolecular C–H Bond Silylation2.3 Intramolecular C–H Bond Silylation via a Tethered Silyl Unit3 C–H Bond Silylation with Silicon Electrophiles4 C–H Bond Silylation with Silicon Nucleophiles5 C–H Bond Silylation with Silyl Radicals6 Other Approaches6.1 Alkali-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Bond Silylation6.2 Magnesium-Promoted Reductive C–H Bond Silylation7 Conclusions and Outlook

  • Developing Organometallic Nucleophilic Reagents Via Photoredox Catalysis

      Authors: Gualandi; Andrea, Calogero, Francesco, Pinosa, Emanuele, Corbisiero, Dario, Cozzi, Pier Giorgio
      Abstract: The addition of organometallic reagents to the carbonyl group represents a key transformation, both in academia and industry. Most of these transformations rely on a mechanism in which accessible and reactive halides are transformed into the corresponding nucleophilic organometallic reactive compounds through a redox mechanism, using a metal (Cr, Mg, In, etc.) in low oxidation state, by electron transfer. With the advent of photoredox catalysis, the formation of radicals, through oxidation or reduction of suitable and tailored organic precursors, was merged with transition metal catalysis. By radical-to-polar crossover (RPCO­), a radical metal is combined with an organic radical to produce, via radical-radical trapping, a polar nucleophilic organometallic reagent. Using dual photoredox catalysis (metallaphotoredox catalysis), a reactive organometallic reagent can be prepared, avoiding the use of metals in low oxidation state. Herein, in addition to the description of the results obtained by our group and the contributions of others on the connection between carbonyl addition and radical-based photochemistry, we provide core guidance for further synthetic developments. We anticipate that extending the photoredox dual strategy beyond the Barbier reactions described here, taming less-activated carbonyls, studying other important electrophiles, will soon realize important breakthroughs.1 Introduction2 Photoredox Catalysis: A Survival Guide for the ‘Photo-Curious’3 Chromium Nucleophilic Organometallic Reagents3.1 Allylation of Aldehydes3.2 Allylation of Aldehydes via Dienes3.3 Propargylation of Aldehydes via 1,3-Enynes3.4 Alkenylation of Aldehydes3.5 Alkylation of Aldehydes3.6 Enantioselective Chromium-Mediated Photoredox Reactions4 Titanium Nucleophilic Organometallic Reagents4.1 Allylation Reactions4.2 Propargylation Reactions4.3 Allylation Reactions via Dienes4.4 Benzylation Reactions4.5 Alkylation Reactions5.

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Semleit; Nina, Haberhauer, Gebhard
      Abstract: The synthesis of complex polycycles starting from simple building blocks in just a few reaction steps is usually very challenging. Herein, we present the gold(I)-catalyzed synthesis of various polycycles via the dearomatization–allenene reaction of aryl propargyl ethers with different nucleophiles. Depending on the starting material, polycycles can be isolated in yields up to 94% and with an enantiomeric excess of 95%. Quantum chemical calculations show that for all starting materials a Claisen rearrangement to the allenene occurs in the first reaction sequence. The subsequent cyclization and reaction with a nucleophile leads to various polycycles with the formation of up to six new C–C bonds in only one reaction step. All reactions proceed with excellent dia­stereoselectivity, with an α-quaternary carbonyl carbon present in the products.

      Abstract: Pyrido[3,4-g]quinazoline was previously identified as a relevant scaffold for protein kinase inhibition. In order to assess if the planarity of this heterocyclic system was essential to the protein kinase inhibitory potency observed in this series, new compounds were synthesized and evaluated, in which the central cycle was opened to provide (pyridin-4-yl)(pyrimidin-4-yl)methane derivatives, which were prepared from the corresponding ketone precursor. After preparing (2-aminopyrimidin-4-yl)(pyridin-4-yl)methanone, derivatives were synthesized and evaluated toward a panel of protein kinases. The results demonstrated that the planar pyrido[3,4-g]quinazoline tricyclic system was mandatory to maintain the protein kinase inhibitory potency in this series.

      Abstract: The oxidative cycloaddition of 3-subsituted quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and alkynes has been developed. The reaction is Pd(II)-catalyzed and successfully occurs in the presence of Ag(I) oxidants. This transformation is assumed to proceed by N–H palladation of the quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione followed by ortho-C–H activation. Using this methodology, a series of 5,6,7,8-tetraaryl-1H-azepino[3,2,1-ij]quinazoline-1,3(2H)-diones were obtained in moderate to good yields. The resulting tricyclic heterocycles can be converted by alkaline hydrolysis into 1H-benzo[b]azepine-9-carboxamide derivatives. DFT calculations have been carried out to shed light on the reaction mechanism.

      Abstract: An ongoing challenge in the pharmaceutical sector is the need to find and implement novel synthetic approaches because traditional methods sometimes violate the principles of green chemistry. While benzimidazoles are of great importance as building blocks for the creation of molecules having pharmacological activity, the development of methods for their sustainable synthesis has been a challenge for organic synthesis. Herein, we have carried out a one-pot telescopic approach to the synthesis of disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives in a deep eutectic solvent (DES) medium to investigate an alternate synthetic technique. Starting with methyl 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoate, SNAr reaction, reduction, and cyclization were performed with choline chloride/glycerol/H2O as DES medium, which gave the best performance out of the five DESs examined. We report the synthesis of disubstituted benzimidazoles via one-pot telescopic approach.

The synthesis is developed using commercially available, cheaper amino acid (R)-methionine. Meldrum’s acid served as a two-carbon homologation unit to access the pyrrolidone intermediate in a short synthetic sequence. The sequence to pyrrolidone intermediate is scalable and eludes the use of organometallic pyrophoric reagents on a large scale.

      Abstract: The Lycopodium alkaloid complanadine A, isolated in 2000, is a complex and unsymmetrical dimer of lycodine. Biologically, it is a novel and promising lead compound for the development of new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders and persistent pain management. Herein, we report a concise synthesis of complanadine A using a pyrrole-to-pyridine molecular editing strategy. The use of a nucleophilic pyrrole as the precursor of the desired pyridine enabled an efficient and one-pot construction of the tetracyclic core skeleton of complanadine A and lycodine. The pyrrole group was converted into a 3-chloropyridine via Ciamician–Dennstedt one-carbon ring expansion. A subsequent C–H arylation between the 3-chloropyridine and a pyridine N-oxide formed the unsymmetrical dimer, which was then advanced to complanadine A. Overall, from a readily available known compound, the total synthesis of complanadine A was achieved in 11 steps. The pyrrole-to-pyridine molecular editing strategy enabled us to significantly enhance the overall synthetic efficiency. Additionally, as demonstrated by Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, the 3-chloropyridine product from the Ciamician–Dennstedt rearrangement is amenable for further derivatization, offering an opportunity for simplified analogue synthesis.

      Abstract: 1,1-Dibromoalkenes can be used as direct precursors to three classes of 5-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Three different approaches to 1,2,3-triazole products were developed, linked to the N1-substituent. Treatment of 1,1-dibromoalkenes with n-butyllithium and reaction with a sulfonyl azide gave 5-substituted 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles. The use of lithium base followed by transmetalation to zinc and reaction with aryl azides allowed access to 1-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles. Finally, the use of EtMgBr as base and reaction with an alkyl azide formed 1-alkyl-1,2,3-triazoles.

      Abstract: The chemical diversification of biomolecules set forth a significant area of research that constitutes an important intersection between chemistry and biology. Amino acids and peptides are the fundamental building blocks of proteins and play essential roles in all living organisms. While significant efforts have been geared toward the chemical modification of amino acid residues, particularly the functionalization of reactive functional groups such as lysine NH2 and cysteine SH, the exploration of the aromatic amino acid residues of tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and histidine has been relatively limited. Therefore, this review highlights strategies for the side-chain functionalization of these four aromatic amino acids in peptides, with a focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms. We have also illustrated the use of these modifications in the chemical and biological realm.1 Introduction2 Tryptophan Modifications3 Tyrosine Modifications4 Phenylalanine Modifications5 Histidine Modifications6 Perspectives and Future Outlook

      Abstract: A new generation of multivalent antibody-recruiting molecules (ARMs) with dual-targeting tumor-binding termini (TBT), including hyaluronic acid targeting CD44 and nanobody 7D12 or peptide GE11 targeting EGFR, was constructed for cancer immunotherapy. The 7D12 or GE11 were assembled onto β-cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HACD) with multivalent rhamnose via host-guest interaction to form macromolecule complexes. The immunological studies proved that these complexes had dual-targetability on CD44 and EGFR and the rhamnose on HACD could recruit anti-Rha antibodies to mediate cytotoxicity against the targeted tumor cells.

      Authors: Owens; Philippa K., Smith, Blair I. P., Campos, Sebastien, Lindsay, David M., Kerr, William J.
      Abstract: An iridium(I) N-heterocyclic carbene/phosphine complex has been applied to the C–H activation and hydrogen isotope exchange of quinoline N-oxides. The isotope labelling proceeds under exceptionally low catalyst loadings of 0.25 mol% and delivers products with high levels of deuterium incorporation selectively at the C8 position. A broad substrate scope is demonstrated, with the method tolerant of electron-poor and -rich substrates, and of substitution adjacent to the site of C–H activation. The isotope label is fully retained under standard deoxygenation conditions to give the corresponding labelled quinoline, and the labelling and deoxygenation can be combined in a one-pot procedure.

      Abstract: Synthesis of the octasaccharide repeating unit of the K55 capsular polysaccharide of Acinetobacter baumannii BAL_204 strain has been achieved in very good yield using a convergent [5+3] block glycosylation strategy. The pentasaccharide and trisaccharide components were synthesized using sequential stereoselective glycosylations. The p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) group was used as temporary alkyl protecting group, which was removed under the thiophilic glycosylation condition by raising the temperature. A late-stage TEMPO-mediated selective oxidation of primary hydroxyl group into carboxylic acid allowed getting the d-glucuronic acid moiety in the octasaccharide. A combination of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and perchloric acid supported over silica (HClO4­-SiO2) was used as a thiophilic promoter for the activation of thioglycosides. HClO4-SiO2 was also used as a solid acid activator for glycosyl trichloroacetimidate derivative.

      Authors: Nakahara; Yuichi, Endo, Yuta, Takahashi, Kazutoshi, Kawaguchi, Tomoko, Kato, Keisuke, Matsuda, Yutaka, Nagaki, Aiichiro
      Abstract: Protein PEGylation is a traditional bioconjugation technology that enhances the therapeutic efficacy and in vivo half-life of proteins by the formation of covalent bonds with highly activated ester group linked polyethylene glycol (PEG). However, the high reactivity of these reagents induces a random reaction with lysine residues on the protein surface, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of PEGylated proteins. Moreover, the traditional batch-mode reaction has risks relating to scalability and aggregation. To overcome these risks of traditional batch-mode PEGylation, a manufacturing strategy utilizing structural analysis and a continuous-flow-mode reaction was examined. A solvent exposure analysis revealed the most reactive lysine of a protein, and the continuous-flow mode modified this lysine to achieve the mono-PEGylation of two different proteins within 2 seconds. This ultrarapid modification reaction can be applied to the gram-scale manufacturing of PEGylated bioconjugates without generating aggregates. A similar trend of the exposure level of protein lysine and mono-selectivity performed by continuous-flow PEGylation was observed, which indicated that this manufacturing strategy has the potential to be applied to the production of a wide variety of bioconjugates.

      Abstract: We herein report a transition-metal-free cross-coupling reaction of acetals and Grignard reagents. The method provides a modular preparation of diarylmethyl alkyl ethers, triarylmethanes, and 1,1-diarylalkanes that constitute the core structures of many bioactive molecules and synthetic motifs. A series of readily accessible acetals bearing aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl substituents efficiently coupled with commercially available aryl, alkyl, and allylic magnesium bromides to give the products in high yields. In addition to acyclic and cyclic acetals, ketal and orthoester also serve as viable substrates to afford sterically hindered tertiary ether and ketal respectively. A sequential difunctionalization of acetals led to the rapid synthesis of triarylmethanes and diarylalkanes.

      Abstract: Enzymatic asymmetric benzylic hydroxylation represents a green synthesis of valuable chiral benzylic alcohols. The stereoselective C–H direct hydroxylation profile possessed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) makes it more attractive. Here, we successfully expressed a self-sufficient cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from Deinococcus gobiensis in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) host. The recombinant E. coli (P450DG) strain performed well in terms of functionality and has stereoselective benzylic hydroxylation ability for propylbenzene substrates. Asymmetric benzylic hydroxylation of various aromatic compounds was further investigated using the recombinant E. coli (P450DG) strain based on the optimal conditions, producing the corresponding enantioenriched pharmaceutically relevant benzylic alcohols in moderate yields with good to excellent enantioselectivity.

The synthetic route to the corresponding arabino-configured uracil and thymine bicyclic nucleosides proceeds in 24 and 27% overall yields, respectively, starting from 1,2,5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose. This synthetic protocol includes some crucial steps such as Vorbrüggen base coupling and chemo-enzymatic regioselective acetylation of the primary hydroxyl group by using Lipozyme® TL IM where it was found that Lipozyme® TL IM could be recovered and reused for selective acetylation without losing its selectivity.

      Abstract: An efficient and robust method was developed to introduce the triazole unit of Ensitrelvir, a COVID-19 therapeutic agent. One of the key steps is introducing the triazole unit in the triazinone with Cs2CO3 and KI in a heterogeneous system. Detailed reaction screening revealed that addition of LiCl allowed the reaction to proceed quantitatively in the presence of inexpensive Et3N, and the selectivity of the N-alkylation was greatly improved. The key to promoting the reaction is the mild formation of the lithium triazinolate accompanied by precipitation of Et3N·HCl (the only insoluble matter in this reaction). Dissolving all the substrates and reagents should contribute to further improvement of the process robustness.

      Abstract: We report the Pd(II)-catalyzed β-C–H arylation, alkylation, benzylation, and methoxylation of carbazole-3-carboxamide and carbazole-2-carboxamide substrates, assisted by the bidentate directing groups 8-aminoquinoline or 2-(methylthio)aniline, and construction of C2,C3,C4-functionalized carbazole motifs. The Pd(II)-catalyzed β-C–H arylation reaction was attempted using different directing groups such as 8-aminoquinoline, 2-(methylthio)aniline, 4-amino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 4-methoxyquinolin-8-amine, and butan-1-amine. Through optimization of the reactions, 8-aminoquinoline and 2-(methylthio)aniline were found to be suitable directing groups and, especially, 2-(methylthio)aniline was found to be an efficient directing group in the Pd(II)-catalyzed β-C–H arylation, alkylation, and methoxylation of carbazole-3-carboxamide, carbazole-2-carboxamide substrates. An ample number of β-C–H arylated, alkylated, benzylated, and methoxylated carbazole-3-carboxamides were synthesized. The structures of representative β-C(2)–H arylated carbazole and β-C(2)–H methoxylated carbazole motifs were unequivocally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Given the wide range of applications of carbazoles in chemistry, materials sciences, and medicinal chemistry and there have been constant efforts for developing new methods for synthesizing functionalized carbazoles. This work contributes to the expansion of the library of C2,C3,C4-functionalized carbazole motifs through a Pd(II)-catalyzed directing-group-aided site-selective β-C–H activation and functionalization of carbazole-3-carboxamides.

      Abstract: Transition-metal-nanoparticles-catalyzed C–H activation/functionalization is a prominent topic in contemporary research, enabling the functionalization of privileged heterocyclic scaffolds that hold a significant space in the scientific community due to their immense applications in materials science and in medicinal, natural product, and agricultural chemistry. Among transition-metal-based nanoparticles, Pd nanoparticle catalysis has emerged as the most attractive tool for promoting a wide array of practical synthetic transformations of heterocycles. In the last few years, the catalytic application of Pd nanoparticles in C–H functionalization has gained popularity in generating relatively inaccessible bonds with a high degree of selectivity and efficiency via the activation of surface metal atoms at the nanoscale level. The quantum size effect of nanoparticles offers a large surface area, with typically many easily accessible active sites/unit areas. These unique characteristics of nanoparticles are considered primary factors of enhanced catalytic activity compared to bulk materials. The nanoparticle catalysts anchored on solid-supports plus unsupported types (e.g., magnetic nanoparticles) allow easy separation from the reaction mixture, enabling recycling multiple times, which contributes notably to sustainable management and cost efficiency of a production process. In the current review, we discuss Pd-nanoparticles-catalyzed C(sp2)–H arylation for the synthesis of functionalized heterocycles, covering literature reports from 2010 to 2021. The preparation of Pd nanoparticles and the mechanistic realizations in their corresponding reactions are also explained briefly.1 Introduction2 Arylation of Heterocyclic Scaffolds2.1 Synthesis of Functionalized Indole Derivatives2.2 Synthesis of Functionalized (Benzo)thiazole/Benzoxazole Derivatives2.3 Synthesis of Functionalized Triazoles2.4 Synthesis of Functionalized Pyridines and Related Scaffolds2.5 Synthesis of Functionalized Furan, Thiophene and N-Methylpyrrole Scaffolds2.6 Synthesis of Functionalized Multiple Heterocycles via Single-Step Strategies3 Conclusions

Basically, C-2-formyl glycals are a class of carbohydrates incorporating an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. Therefore in many organic reactions, the C-2-formyl glycals can serve as an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde core. In this review, we have compiled a literature survey covering the period 2013–2022, on the synthesis of C-2-formyl glycals and further discuss their importance for the synthesis of many medicinal, supramolecular, biological, organic, and material chemistry based molecules.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of C-2-Formyl Glycals2.1 Vilsmeier–Haack Formylation2.2 By Consecutive Cyclization2.3 XtalFluor‑E Based Synthesis3 Applications of C-2-Formyl Glycals3.1 C-2-Formyl Glycals as a Synthons3.2 Anticancer3.3 Anti-inflammatory3.4 Antimicrobial3.5 Glycosidase Inhibitors3.6 Miscellaneous4 Conclusion and Future Aspects

      Abstract: A useful method for the formation of benzimidazole-fused phenanthridines through an intramolecular coupling of unactivated C(sp2)–H and N(sp3)–H bonds using N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in trifluoroethanol (TFE) is presented. The synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridines from 2-([1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives is mild, efficient, and sustainable, with high yields and minimal waste generation. The control experiments and EPR studies were aimed at rationalizing the radical pathway of the reaction. Specifically, the use of 1,1-diphenylethylene, TEMPO, BHT, and DMPO as a free-radical spin-trapping reagent in EPR studies, allowed us to conceive a radical pathway. The gram-scale synthesis further supported the practical utility of the methodology for the field of synthetic chemistry.

Upon reaction with catalytic amounts of copper(I) chloride and N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine under a mild pressure of carbon monoxide (5 bar), a range of secondary and tertiary alkyl iodides are readily converted into the corresponding esters and carboxylic acids without competing direct nucleophilic substitution. Main advantages of this procedure include its broad applicability, the use of an especially inexpensive and available catalytic system, and its user-friendliness.

      Authors: Romero-Ibañez; Julio, Sandoval-Lira, Jacinto, Cruz-Gregorio, Silvano, Hernández-Pérez, Julio M., Quintero, Leticia, Sartillo-Piscil, Fernando
      Abstract: The selective and dual C(sp3)–H oxidation of N-heterocycles to their corresponding 3-alkoxyamino lactams mediated by TEMPO oxoammonium cation (TEMPO+) is turning into a convenient nonmetallic strategy for the rapid functionalization of piperidines and pyrrolidines to bioactive alkaloids. Mechanistic proposal suggests that TEMPO+ prefers to oxidize the endocyclic C–Hα bond of either N-substituted piperidines or pyrrolidines to their corresponding endocyclic iminium intermediates, which are transformed into enamine intermediates, and then trapped by oxoammonium cation. Although the product formation seems to be in concordance with this mechanistic rationale, neither experimental evidence nor theoretical calculations have been reported. Accordingly, the current investigation provides computational findings explaining that the origin of the selective C–Hα oxidation can be attributed to an unprecedented C–H···π interaction between two hydrogen atoms of TEMPO+ with the aromatic ring of the piperidine benzyl group. To prove the existence of the enamine intermediate, we developed an unprecedented transition-metal-free tetra C–H oxidation of two N-benzyl-4-methylenepiperidines. Accordingly, the existence of the elusive enamine intermediate was attained by generating a transitory dienamine intermediate, which was trapped by TEMPO+ and NaClO2­ to give the corresponding 4-(aminooxymethyl)-3,4-epoxy-2-piperidone.

      Pages: Abstract: Indoles are valuable precursors in medicinal, bioorganic, and material chemistry and particularly serve as a platform for diversity. However, the scope of the C6-functionalization of indoles was limited until recently. In this short review, we summarize developments in the C6-functionalization reactions of indoles involving transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization and Brønsted and Lewis acid catalyzed processes. The regioselectivity is controlled by remote-C–H activation and hydrogen bond formation.1 Introduction2 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Functionalization3 Acid-Catalyzed Processes4 Conclusion

      Authors: Dehnert; Brady W., Dworkin, Jeremy H., Kwon, Ohyun
      Abstract: This review highlights the history and recent advances in dealkenylative functionalization. Through this deconstructive strategy, radical functionalizations occur under mild, robust conditions. The reactions described proceed with high efficiency, good stereoselectivity, tolerate many functional groups, and are completed within a matter of minutes. By cleaving the C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond of terpenes and terpenoid-derived precursors, rapid diversification of natural products is possible.1 Introduction2 Mechanism3 History4 Motivation to Pursue Dealkenylation5 Dealkenylation in the Present6 Conclusion

  • Photocatalyst-Free, Visible-Light-Mediated C–H Perfluoroalkylation of
           Quinazolin-4(3H)-ones with perfluoroalkyl Iodides

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Delouche; Thomas, Gadiry-Diallo, Abdoul, Besson, Thierry, Ogoshi, Sensuke, Fruit, Corinne
      Pages: Abstract: A practical and sustainable photocatalyst-free protocol for photoinduced synthesis of perfluoroalkylated quinazolin-4(3H)-ones is described starting from quinazolin-4(3H)-ones. A wide range of substituted or fused-quinazolinones is found to be compatible, providing the corresponding mono- and bis-perfluoroalkylated compounds in moderate yields. This visible-light-mediated C–H perfluoroalkylation allows an environmentally friendly and straightforward access to an array of unprecedented functionalized quinazolinone scaffolds, presenting attractive features for drug discovery. Control experiments demonstrated that a radical mechanism is involved in the reaction mechanism.

           Bridge

      Authors: Jeon; Ju Eun, Jeong, Siyeon, Kwak, Hayeon, Joo, Jung Min
      Pages: Abstract: In this study, gold(III)-catalyzed cyclization reactions of alkynyl norbornene derivatives were developed to provide benzofused (hetero)arenes with substitutions at the benzocyclic ring. The combination of Au(OAc)3 and AgNTf2 allowed for the annulation of (hetero)arenes by intramolecular hydro(hetero)arylation followed by retro-Diels–Alder reactions to afford fully conjugated benzofused (hetero)arenes in yields higher than those obtained by our previously developed Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed protocol. Furthermore, when Au(OAc)3 was replaced with AuCl3, (hetero)arenes with the norbornene bridge installed at the more electron-rich and sterically demanding position underwent a rearrangement to afford the corresponding regioisomeric products in a divergent manner. The results indicate that the rigid norbornene ring creates a steric effect, in addition to placing two reactive sites in close proximity and serving as an acetylene synthon. This illustrates the importance of steric effects in addition to the electronic effects of the catalyst and the substrate on the rearrangement.

      Authors: Ferro; Rita, Viduedo, Nuno, Santos, A. Sofia, Silva, Artur M. S., Royo, Beatriz, Marques, M. Manuel B.
      Abstract: A bimetallic synthesis of 2-arylindoles from alcohols and anilines is described. The dehydrogenation or oxidation of a secondary alcohol was performed by Ni- or Mn-catalyzed reactions, respectively. The formed ketone was converted into an imine intermediate that was later cyclized to the corresponding 2-arylindole by a Pd-catalyzed oxidative cyclization. A series of 2-arylindoles were prepared without isolation of the intermediates generated. The compatibility of the catalysts was investigated, and the optimized protocol opens room for the integration of Earth-abundant metals and palladium complexes to improve the sustainability of the synthesis of N-heterocycles.

      Authors: Roger; Julien, Sire, Charline, Tsivery, Anthonia, Cattey, Hélène, Hierso, Jean-Cyrille
      Abstract: Aryl triflates are selected as suitable electrophile coupling partners for the phosphorus-directed rhodium(III)-catalyzed direct C–H arylation of polyaromatic phosphines. We report herein simple conditions for the peri-C–H functionalization of polyarylphosphines, where a [Rh(III)Cl2Cp*]2 precatalyst is employed to provide a convenient access to polyarylated phosphines in up to 93% isolated yield. This synthetic approach tolerates a wide range of different aryl trifluoromethylsulfonate derivatives bearing either electron-donating (COMe, CN, CF3 or Cl) or electron-withdrawing substituents (Me, OMe) at the para-, meta- and ortho-positions, and includes bulky polyaromatic triflate substrates. We further describe access to a large class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phosphine ligands, their oxidized derivatives (i.e., their oxides and selenides), their coordination modes with Au(I) and Cu(I) coinage metal salts, and their use as efficient ligands for the atom-economic, gold-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of terminal alkynes with nitriles.

      Pages: Abstract: A novel nanotextured Ni@Cu material embedded electro-microflow reactor with minimal electrode distance has been employed to synthesize biphenyls via the construction of a new C–C bond. The reported protocol is devoid of noble metals and involves co-reductant/oxidant-free conditions in a fast manner for the synthesis of substituted/unsubstituted biphenyl systems. The electro-reactor volume was optimized for gram-scale biphenyl synthesis and further extended for an integrated total process system reducing the tedious downstream process by selective removal of unwanted chemicals/solvent. The continuous microflow synthesis of daclatasvir has now been accomplished with a good yield.

      Abstract: The direct annulative coupling of 3-(acetylamino)thiophenes with internal alkynes proceeds smoothly under rhodium catalysis through acetylamino-directed C–H bond cleavage at the C2-position, leading to the effective construction of 4-acetylthieno[3,2-b]pyrrole derivatives. The acetyl directing group on the annulation product is readily removed to produce the 4-unprotected thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole derivative.

      Abstract: Despite its challenges, the skeletal editing of mono-azaarenes (pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines) has shown unparalleled synthetic utility in the construction of complex molecules that are difficult to access by conventional methods. In this short review, we summarize the three most recently developed skeletal editing strategies for the deconstruction of azaarene cores, with a focus on their generality, limitations, and mechanistic aspects. Also, the application of the skeletal editing strategy in the total synthesis of some important natural products is discussed.1 Introduction2 Skeletal Editing of Mono-Azaarenes through Zincke-like Reactions3 Skeletal Editing of Mono-azaarenes through Aza-Buchner Reactions4 Skeletal Editing of Mono-azaarenes via Photoinduced Radical or Energy-Transfer Processes5 Conclusion

      Abstract: An efficient, catalyst-free, regio- and diastereoselective approach for the synthesis of novel 7-aryl-3-alkyl(aryl)-6-methyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ols has been developed via the reaction of 4-amino-[1,2,4]triazole-3-thiols with nitroepoxides in methanol at room temperature. The products were simply dehydrated in the presence of PTSA in ethanol at 70 °C to afford the corresponding 7-aryl-3-alkyl(aryl)-6-methyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines in 91–98% yields. In addition, treatment of the product with acidic chloroform afforded the corresponding α-((4-amino-5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)-α-phenylpropan-2-one in quantitative yield.

      Authors: Khan; Farooq-Ahmad, Yaqoob, Sana, Qasim, Muhammad Wasim, Ali, Shujaat, Wang, Yan, Jiang, Zi-Hua
      Abstract: The bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) constituent muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and its congeners possess immuno-adjuvant activity, and find applications in vaccines to potentiate the immune response of antigens. It confers non-specific resistance towards pathogenic infections and defense against tumors. In this work, the parent MDP molecule is re-designed by replacing its carbohydrate moiety with an immunoregulatory xanthine scaffold, while conserving the l-d configuration of the pharmacophore. Alkyl chains are introduced at the C-terminus of d-isoglutamine to help the molecules access cytoplasmic NOD2 receptors and activate the innate immune system. Lipophilic MDP congeners are thus obtained by adopting a direct or indirect convergent synthetic route with overall yields of >50%. We found that an indirect approach can reliably be implemented on gram scale, thereby unlocking access to substantial amounts of pathogen-associated molecular patterns for in vivo studies, which will accelerate the development of NOD2 immuno-adjuvants against viral and bacterial infections.

      Pages: Abstract: The asymmetric Doyle–Kirmse reaction has become increasingly important in the construction of chiral sulfides, especially for those with quaternary carbon stereocenters. Over the few past decades, a series of catalytic asymmetric approaches have been developed promoted by copper, rhodium, nickel, and other chiral catalysts. Apart from the frequently investigated sulfonium ylides, the enantioselective [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of selenium ylides and iodonium ylides has also been discovered recently. This review summarizes recent advances in the asymmetric Doyle–Kirmse reaction according to the patterns of chirality induction. The synthetic methods for rearranged products, reaction mechanisms and applications are discussed in this review.1 Introduction2 Asymmetric Doyle–Kirmse Reaction Controlled by Chiral Free Ylides3 Asymmetric Doyle–Kirmse Reaction Controlled by Chiral Metal-Bound Ylides4 Conclusion and Outlook
