A rapid and efficient synthetic route to terminal arylacetylenes by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide- and methanol-catalyzed cleavage of 4-aryl-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ols.

ABSTRACT: Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide with methanol as an additive was found to be a highly active catalyst for the cleavage of 4-aryl-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ols. The reaction was performed at 55-75 °C and gave terminal arylacetylenes in good to excellent yields within several minutes. Compared with the usual reaction conditions (normally >110 °C, several hours), this novel catalyst system can dramatically decrease the reaction time under much milder conditions.

Route to ?-Aryl Phosphonoacetates: Useful Synthetic Precursors in the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons Olefination.

Project description:A versatile and general catalytic strategy has been developed for the ?-arylation of phosphonoacetates utilizing parallel microscale experimentation. These ?-substituted phosphonoacetates are widely useful, notably as substrates in the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons-type olefinations. However, the current routes to these products involve harsh conditions, limiting the variety of functionality. The reported method can be used with a variety of aryl chlorides and aryl bromides, including several heterocyclic examples.

Davis-Beirut Reaction: A Photochemical Bronsted Acid Catalyzed Route to N-Aryl 2H-Indazoles.

Project description:The Davis-Beirut reaction provides access to 2H-indazoles from aromatic nitro compounds. However, N-aryl targets have been traditionally challenging to access due to competitive alternate reaction pathways. Previously, the key nitroso imine intermediate was generated under alkaline conditions, but as reported here, the photochemistry of o-nitrobenzyl alcohols empowered Brønsted acid catalyzed conditions for accessing N-aryl targets. Anilines and alkyl amines give different outcomes under optimized conditions; the proposed mechanism was studied using quantum chemical calculations.

Pd-catalyzed ?-arylation of ?,?-difluoroketones with aryl bromides and chlorides. A route to difluoromethylarenes.

Project description:We report the Pd-catalyzed ?-arylation of ?,?-difluoroketones with aryl and heteroaryl bromides and chlorides catalyzed by an air- and moisture-stable palladacyclic complex containing P(t-Bu)Cy2 as ligand. The combination of this Pd-catalyzed arylation and base-induced cleavage of the acyl-aryl C-C bond within the ?-aryl-?,?-difluoroketone constitutes a one-pot, two-step procedure to synthesize difluoromethylarenes from aryl halides. A broad range of electronically varied aryl and heteroaryl bromides and chlorides underwent these two transformations, providing ?-aryl-?,?-difluoroketones, difluoromethylarenes, and difluoromethylheteroarenes in high yields.

Highly efficient route to fused polycyclic aromatics via palladium-catalyzed aryne annulation by aryl halides.

Project description:Polycyclic aromatic and heteroaromatic hydrocarbons have been synthesized in high yield by two different processes involving the Pd-catalyzed annulation of arynes. The first process involves a Pd-catalyzed annulation of arynes by 2-halobiaryls and related vinylic halides. The second process utilizes a Pd-catalyzed double annulation of arynes by simple aryl halides. Both processes appear to involve the catalytic, stepwise coupling of two very reactive substrates, an aryne and an organopalladium species, to generate excellent yields of cross-coupled products.

Tetrabutylammonium Bromide-Promoted Metal-Free, Efficient, Rapid, and Scalable Synthesis of N-Aryl Amines.

Project description:A rapid, transition metal-free, high-yielding, tetrabutylammonium bromide-promoted method of N-arylation is reported within. The optimized conditions tolerated a wide range of secondary amines and was equally effective with bromo- and chlorobenzene-including substituted aryl halides. The developed method is found to be effective for N-arylation when compared to earlier methods which involve harsh conditions, transition metals, lack of scalability, and long reaction times. Our method utilizes conventional heating only; it is readily scalable; and the products are facile to purify.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive cleavage of aryl alkyl ethers to arenes in absence of external reductant.

Project description:The reductive cleavage of the C-O bonds of aryl ethers has great potential in organic synthesis. Although several catalysts that can promote the reductive cleavage of aryl ethers have been reported, all such systems require the use of an external reductant, e.g., hydrosilane or hydrogen. Here, we report the development of a new nickel-based catalytic system that can cleave the C-O bonds of ethers in the absence of an external reductant. The hydrogen atom required in this new reductive cleavage reaction is provided by the alkoxy group of the substrate, which serves as an internal reductant. The absence of an external reductant enables the unique chemoselectivity, i.e., the selective reduction of an alkoxy group over alkenes and ketones.

Alkyne Cycloadditions Mediated by Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride: A Unified and Diversifiable Route to Isoxazolines and Pyrazolines.

Project description:A versatile approach to isoxazolines and pyrazolines by the cyclization of alkyne substrates using tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) is described. The reported diheteroatom cycles were produced under mild reaction conditions and with broad product scope. Evidence is also provided for a vinyl anion intermediate produced under unusually mild conditions, which was trapped in situ as part of a tandem cyclization/aldehyde addition sequence. Finally, a deprotection/functionalization method is described, leading to a substituted pyrazoline in good diastereoselectivity.

Palladium-catalyzed, direct boronic acid synthesis from aryl chlorides: a simplified route to diverse boronate ester derivatives.

Project description:Although much current research focuses on developing new boron reagents and identifying robust catalytic systems for the cross-coupling of these reagents, the fundamental preparations of the nucleophilic partners (i.e., boronic acids and derivatives) has been studied to a lesser extent. Most current methods to access boronic acids are indirect and require harsh conditions or expensive reagents. A simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed, direct synthesis of arylboronic acids from the corresponding aryl chlorides using an underutilized reagent, tetrahydroxydiboron B(2)(OH)(4), is reported. To ensure preservation of the carbon-boron bond, the boronic acids were efficiently converted to the trifluoroborate derivatives in good to excellent yields without the use of a workup or isolation. Further, the intermediate boronic acids can be easily converted to a wide range of useful boronates. Finally, a two-step, one-pot method was developed to couple two aryl chlorides efficiently in a Suzuki-Miyaura-type reaction.

Cobalt-Catalyzed 1,1-Diboration of Terminal Alkynes: Scope, Mechanism, and Synthetic Applications.

Project description:A cobalt-catalyzed method for the 1,1-diboration of terminal alkynes with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2Pin2) is described. The reaction proceeds efficiently at 23 °C with excellent 1,1-selectivity and broad functional group tolerance. With the unsymmetrical diboron reagent PinB-BDan (Dan = naphthalene-1,8-diaminato), stereoselective 1,1-diboration provided products with two boron substituents that exhibit differential reactivity. One example prepared by diboration of 1-octyne was crystallized, and its stereochemistry established by X-ray crystallography. The utility and versatility of the 1,1-diborylalkene products was demonstrated in a number of synthetic applications, including a concise synthesis of the epilepsy medication tiagabine. In addition, a synthesis of 1,1,1-triborylalkanes was accomplished through cobalt-catalyzed hydroboration of 1,1-diborylalkenes with HBPin. Deuterium-labeling and stoichiometric experiments support a mechanism involving selective insertion of an alkynylboronate to a Co-B bond of a cobalt boryl complex to form a vinylcobalt intermediate. The latter was isolated and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. A competition experiment established that the reaction involves formation of free alkynylboronate and the two boryl substituents are not necessarily derived from the same diboron source.

Palladium-Catalyzed 1,3-Difunctionalization Using Terminal Alkenes with Alkenyl Nonaflates and Aryl Boronic Acids.

Project description:A Pd-catalyzed 1,3-difunctionalization of terminal alkenes using 1,1-disubstituted alkenyl nonaflates and arylboronic acid coupling partners is reported. This transformation affords allylic arene products that are difficult to selectively access using traditional Heck cross-coupling methodologies. The evaluation of seldom employed 1,1-disubstituted alkenyl nonaflate coupling partners led to the elucidation of subtle mechanistic features of ?-allyl stabilized Pd-intermediates. Good stereo- and regioselectivity for the formation of 1,3-addition products can be accessed through a minimization of steric interactions that emanate from alkenyl nonaflate substitution.
