Transition-metal/Lewis acid free synthesis of acyl benzothiophenes via C-C bond forming reaction.

ABSTRACT: A simple and single-step synthesis of 2- and 3-acyl substituted benzothiophenes has been described via environmentally benign acylation of benzothiophene with in situ generated acyl trifluoroacetates. Both aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids participated in trifluoroacetic anhydride/phosphoric acid mediated C-C bond forming reactions under solvent-free conditions affording acyl benzothiophenes in good overall yields.

Selective synthesis of thioethers in the presence of a transition-metal-free solid Lewis acid.

Project description:The synthesis of thioethers starting from alcohols and thiols in the presence of amorphous solid acid catalysts is reported. A silica alumina catalyst with a very low content in alumina gave excellent results in terms of both activity and selectivity also under solvent-free conditions. The reaction rate follows the electron density of the carbinol atom in the substrate alcohol and yields up to 99% and can be obtained for a wide range of substrates under mild reaction conditions.

Transition-metal free umpolung carbon-nitrogen vs. carbon-chlorine bond formation.

Project description:The formation of carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bonds via an umpolung substitution reaction has been achieved at -78 °C without the need for catalysts, ligands, or additives. The scope is limited to aryl Grignard reagents with N-chloroamines. The findings in this manuscript serve as a reference point for all C-N bond formation involving N-chloroamines and organometallic reagents. Knowing the yields of uncatalyzed reactions will be useful when determining the success of future catalytic methods.

Aminofluorination: transition-metal-free N-F bond insertion into diazocarbonyl compounds.

Project description:Gem-aminofluorination of diazocarbonyl compounds has been achieved for the first time. This reaction proceeds under mild conditions and does not require any transition-metal promoter or catalyst. Treatment of diazoesters with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI), which serves as both a fluorine and nitrogen source, results in the facile construction of C-N and C-F bonds, providing aminofluorination products in moderate to excellent yields. Kinetic studies and DFT calculations have provided valuable insight into the potential mechanism for this novel N-F bond insertion.

Lewis Base Activation of Lewis Acid: A Detailed Bond Analysis.

Project description:The effect of a Lewis base (LB) on the nucleophilic attack on chalcogeniranium (chalcogen = sulfur and selenium) cations, the so-called LB activation of a Lewis acid, has been studied coupling natural orbital for chemical valence decomposition of the orbital interaction energy with charge displacement analysis. This methodology provides a detailed and accurate description of all the interactions (LB···chalcogen, chalcogen···olefin and olefin···ammonia) present in the system and leads to a deeper understanding of how they influence each other at all stages of the reaction: reactant complex, transition state, and product complex. In particular, the bond between the chalcogen and the olefin has been decomposed in terms of σ donation/π back-donation and the bond components quantified. This allowed determination of a linear relationship between the activation barrier of the nucleophilic attack and the net amount of charge donated by the olefin to the chalcogen.

Transition-metal free C-C bond cleavage/borylation of cycloketone oxime esters.

Project description:An efficient transition-metal free C-C bond cleavage/borylation of cycloketone oxime esters has been described. In this reaction, the B2(OH)4 reagent not only served as the boron source but also acted as an electron donor source through formation of a complex with a DMAc-like Lewis base. This complex could be used as an efficient single electron reductant in other ring-opening transformations of cycloketone oxime esters. Free-radical trapping, radical-clock, and DFT calculations all suggest a radical pathway for this transformation.

Transition Metal Free C-N Bond Forming Dearomatizations and Aryl C-H Aminations by in Situ Release of a Hydroxylamine-Based Aminating Agent.

Project description:We outline a simple protocol that accesses directly unprotected secondary amines by intramolecular C-N bond forming dearomatization or aryl C-H amination. The method is dependent on the generation of a potent electrophilic aminating agent released by in situ deprotection of O-Ts activated N-Boc hydroxylamines.

Selective C-N ? Bond Cleavage in Azetidinyl Amides under Transition Metal-Free Conditions.

Project description:Functionalization of amide bond via the cleavage of a non-carbonyl, C-N ? bond remains under-investigated. In this work, a transition-metal-free single-electron transfer reaction has been developed for the C-N ? bond cleavage of N-acylazetidines using the electride derived from sodium dispersions and 15-crown-5. Of note, less strained cyclic amides and acyclic amides are stable under the reaction conditions, which features the excellent chemoselectivity of the reaction. This method is amenable to a range of unhindered and sterically encumbered azetidinyl amides.

Exploiting single-electron transfer in Lewis pairs for catalytic bond-forming reactions.

Project description:A single-electron transfer (SET) between tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6F5)3) and N,N-dialkylanilines is reported, which is operative via the formation of an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex involving π-orbital interactions as a key intermediate under dark conditions or visible-light irradiation depending on the structure of the aniline derivatives. This inherent SET in the Lewis pairs initiates the generation of the corresponding α-aminoalkyl radicals and their additions to electron-deficient olefins, revealing the ability of B(C6F5)3 to act as an effective one-electron redox catalyst.

A Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction.

Project description:Carbonitriles and alcohols react in a Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction to carboxylic esters. Best results are obtained with two equivalents of trimethylsilyl triflate as Lewis acid. Good yields are achieved with primary alcohols and aliphatic or benzylic carbonitriles, but the straightforward synthesis of acrylates and benzoates starting with acrylonitrile and benzonitrile, respectively, is similarly possible. Phenols are not acylated under these reaction conditions. The method has been used for the first total synthesis of the natural product monaspilosin. In the reaction of benzyl alcohols variable amounts of amides are formed in a Ritter-type side reaction.

Transition-metal-free synthesis of pyrimidines from lignin β-O-4 segments via a one-pot multi-component reaction.

Project description:Heteroatom-participated lignin depolymerization for heterocyclic aromatic compounds production is of great importance to expanding the product portfolio and meeting value-added biorefinery demand, but it is also particularly challenging. In this work, the synthesis of pyrimidines from lignin β-O-4 model compounds, the most abundant segment in lignin, mediated by NaOH through a one-pot multi-component cascade reaction is reported. Mechanism study suggests that the transformation starts by NaOH-induced deprotonation of Cα-H bond in β-O-4 model compounds, and involves highly coupled sequential cleavage of C-O bonds, alcohol dehydrogenation, aldol condensation, and dehydrogenative aromatization. This strategy features transition-metal free catalysis, a sustainable universal approach, no need of external oxidant/reductant, and an efficient one-pot process, thus providing an unprecedented opportunity for N-containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds synthesis from biorenewable feedstock. With this protocol, an important marine alkaloid meridianin derivative can be synthesized, emphasizing the application feasibility in pharmaceutical synthesis.
