Trifluoroacetic anhydride-catalyzed oxidation of isonitriles by DMSO: a rapid, convenient synthesis of isocyanates.

ABSTRACT: A smooth and efficient oxidation of isonitriles to isocyanates by sulfoxides is catalyzed by trifluoroacetic anhydride. With use of DMSO as the oxidant and 5 mol·% TFAA (dichloromethane, -60 to 0 °C), the process is complete in a few minutes, forming dimethyl sulfide as the only byproduct. The newly formed isocyanates may be used directly or isolated in high purity by solvent evaporation.

Nickel-catalyzed synthesis of acrylamides from alpha-olefins and isocyanates.

Project description:[reaction: see text] The nickel(0)-catalyzed coupling of alpha-olefins and isocyanates proceeds in the presence of the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand IPr to provide alpha,beta-unsaturated amides. Carbon-carbon bond formation occurs preferentially at the 2-position of the olefin. The N-tert-butyl amide products can be converted to the corresponding primary amides under acidic conditions.

Reaction of thioacids with isocyanates and isothiocyanates: a convenient amide ligation process.

Project description:Thiocarboxylates, prepared conveniently by cleavage of 9-fluorenylmethyl or trimethoxybenzyl thioesters, react at room temperature with isocyanates and isothiocyanates to give amide bonds in good to excellent yield. A carboxylate salt is also shown to react with an electron-deficient isocyanate to give the corresponding amide in excellent yield at room temperature.

Nickel/Photoredox-Catalyzed Amidation via Alkylsilicates and Isocyanates.

Project description:A nickel/photoredox, dual-catalyzed amidation reaction between alkylsilicate reagents and alkyl/aryl isocyanates is reported. In contrast to the previously reported reductive coupling process, this protocol is characterized by mild reaction conditions and the absence of a stoichiometric reductant. A mechanistic hypothesis involving a nickel-isocyanate adduct is proposed based on literature precedent and further validation by experimental results.

Nickel-catalyzed cycloadditive couplings of enynes and isocyanates.

Project description:A mild and general route for preparing dienamides is described. Nickel imidazolylidene complexes were used to mediate cycloadditive coupling between enynes and isocyanates. Dienamides were prepared in excellent yields and with good E:Z selectivity. These dienamides can be further manipulated through oxidative cyclization methods. When a terminal enyne is employed, cyclization affords a lactam rather than a dienamide.

Efficient Benzimidazolidinone Synthesis via Rhodium-Catalyzed Double-Decarbonylative C-C Activation/Cycloaddition between Isatins and Isocyanates.

Project description:The first decarbonylative cycloaddition of less-strained cyclic ketones (isatins) with isocyanates is reported. Initiated by C-C activation, this distinct [5-2+2] transformation provides a rapid entry to access various benzimidazolidinone derivatives, through which a wide range of isocyanates can be efficiently coupled with broad functional group tolerance. A modified one-pot process, combining Curtius rearrangement and C-C activation, was also achieved by using acyl azides as the starting materials. Detailed mechanistic study revealed a surprising double-decarbonylative reaction pathway. The novel reactivity discovered in this basic research is expected to shed light on developing new heterocycle formation methods through a C-C/isocyanate coupling.

Cobalt(III)-Catalyzed C-H Bond Amidation with Isocyanates.

Project description:The first examples of cobalt(III)-catalyzed C-H bond addition to isocyanates are described, providing a convergent strategy for arene and heteroarene amidation. Using a robust air- and moisture-stable catalyst, this transformation demonstrates a broad isocyanate scope and good functional-group compatibility and has been performed on gram scale.

Enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed [4+2+2] cycloaddition of dienyl isocyanates for the synthesis of bicyclic azocine rings.

Project description:A highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed [4+2+2] cycloaddition of terminal alkynes and dienyl isocyanates has been developed. The cycloaddition provides a rapid entry to highly functionalized and enantioenriched bicyclic azocines. This reaction represents the first [4+2+2] cycloaddition strategy to construct nitrogen-containing eight-membered rings.

Convenient iron-catalyzed reductive aminations without hydrogen for selective synthesis of N-methylamines.

Project description:N-Methylated amines play an important role in regulating the biological and pharmaceutical properties of all kinds of life science molecules. In general, this class of compounds is synthesized via reductive amination reactions using high pressure of molecular hydrogen. Thus, on laboratory scale especially in drug discovery, activated (toxic) methyl compounds such as methyl iodide and dimethyl sulfate are still employed, which also generate significant amounts of waste. Therefore, the development of more convenient and operationally simple processes for the synthesis of advanced N-methylamines is highly desired. Herein, we report the synthesis of functionalized and structurally diverse N-methylamines directly from nitroarenes and paraformaldehyde, in which the latter acts as both methylation and reducing agent in the presence of reusable iron oxide catalyst. The general applicability of this protocol is demonstrated by the synthesis of >50 important N-methylamines including highly selective reductive N-methylations of life science molecules and actual drugs, namely hordenine, venlafaxine, imipramine and amitriptyline.

Modification of Cellulose with Succinic Anhydride in TBAA/DMSO Mixed Solvent under Catalyst-Free Conditions.

Project description:Homogeneous modification of cellulose with succinic anhydride was performed using tetrabutylammonium acetate (TBAA)/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixed solvent. The molar ratio of succinic anhydride (SA) to free hydroxyl groups in the anhydroglucose units (AGU), TBAA dosage, reaction temperature, and reaction time were investigated. The highest degree of substitution (DS) value of 1.191 was obtained in a 10 wt% TBAA/DMSO mixed solvent at 60 °C for 60 min, and the molar ratio of SA/AGU was 6/1. The molar ratio of SA/AGU and the TBAA dosage showed a significant influence on the reaction. The succinoylated cellulose was characterized by ATR-FTIR, TGA, XRD, solid state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectroscopy (CP/MAS 13C NMR), and SEM. Moreover, the modified cellulose was applied for the adsorption of Cu2+ and Cd2+, and both the DS values of modified cellulose and pH of the heavy metal ion solutions affected the adsorption capacity of succinylated cellulose. The highest capacity for Cu2+ and Cd2+ adsorption was 42.05 mg/g and 49.0 mg/g, respectively.
