Friedel-Crafts acylation with amides.

Project description:Friedel-Crafts acylation has been known since the 1870s, and it is an important organic synthetic reaction leading to aromatic ketone products. Friedel-Crafts acylation is usually performed with carboxylic acid chlorides or anhydrides, while amides are generally not useful substrates in these reactions. Despite being the least reactive carboxylic acid derivative, we have found a series of amides capable of providing aromatic ketones in good yields (55-96%, 17 examples). We propose a mechanism involving diminished C-N resonance through superelectrophilic activation and subsequent cleavage to acyl cations.

Biocatalytic Friedel-Crafts Acylation and Fries Reaction.

Project description:The Friedel-Crafts acylation is commonly used for the synthesis of aryl ketones, and a biocatalytic version, which may benefit from the chemo- and regioselectivity of enzymes, has not yet been introduced. Described here is a bacterial acyltransferase which can catalyze Friedel-Crafts C-acylation of phenolic substrates in buffer without the need of CoA-activated reagents. Conversions reach up to >99 %, and various C- or O-acyl donors, such as DAPG or isopropenyl acetate, are accepted by this enzyme. Furthermore the enzyme enables a Fries rearrangement-like reaction of resorcinol derivatives. These findings open an avenue for the development of alternative and selective C-C bond formation methods.

Mechanism of Biocatalytic Friedel-Crafts Acylation by Acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens.

Project description:Acyltransferases isolated from Pseudomonas protegens (PpATase) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (PfATase) have recently been reported to catalyze the Friedel-Crafts acylation, providing a biological version of this classical organic reaction. These enzymes catalyze the cofactor-independent acylation of monoacetylphloroglucinol (MAPG) to diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) and phloroglucinol (PG) and have been demonstrated to have a wide substrate scope, making them valuable for potential applications in biocatalysis. Herein, we present a detailed reaction mechanism of PpATase on the basis of quantum chemical calculations, employing a large model of the active site. The proposed mechanism is consistent with available kinetics, mutagenesis, and structural data. The roles of various active site residues are analyzed. Very importantly, the Asp137 residue, located more than 10 Å from the substrate, is predicted to be the proton source for the protonation of the substrate in the rate-determining step. This key prediction is corroborated by site-directed mutagenesis experiments. Based on the current calculations, the regioselectivity of PpATase and its specificity toward non-natural substrates can be rationalized.

Regioselective Friedel-Crafts Acylation Reaction Using Single Crystalline and Ultrathin Nanosheet Assembly of Scrutinyite-SnO<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Peculiar physicochemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted research interest in developing new synthetic technology and exploring their potential applications in the field of catalysis. Moreover, ultrathin metal oxide nanosheets with atomic thickness exhibit abnormal surficial properties because of the unique 2D confinement effect. In this work, we present a facile and general approach for the synthesis of single crystalline and ultrathin 2D nanosheets assembly of scrutinyite-SnO2 through a simple solvothermal method. The structural and compositional characterization using X-ray diffraction (Rietveld refinement analysis), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and so on reveal that the as-synthesized 2D nanosheets are ultrathin and single crystallized in the scrutinyite-SnO2 phase with high purity. The ultrathin SnO2 nanosheets show predominant growth in the [011] direction on the main surface having a thickness of ca. 1.3 nm. The SnO2 nanosheets are further employed for the regioselective Friedel-Crafts acylation to synthesize aromatic ketones that have potential significance in chemical industry as synthetic intermediates of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. A series of aromatic substrates acylated over the SnO2 nanosheets have afforded the corresponding aromatic ketones with up to 92% yield under solvent-free conditions. Comprehensive catalytic investigations display the SnO2 nanosheet assembly as a better catalytic material compared to the heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts used so far in the view of its activity and reusability in solvent-free reaction conditions.

Hierarchical Zeolites Prepared Using a Surfactant-Mediated Strategy: ZSM-5 vs. Y as Catalysts for Friedel-Crafts Acylation Reaction.

Project description:Hierarchical ZSM5 and Y zeolites were prepared through a surfactant-mediated strategy with NH4OH changing the duration of the treatment and the amount of CTAB surfactant and taking as reference multiples of the critical micellar concentration (CMC). The materials were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption isotherms at -196 °C, and SEM and TEM microscopy. The catalytic performance was evaluated in Friedel-Crafts acylation of furan with acetic anhydride at 80 °C. The alkaline surfactant-mediated treatment had different effects on the two zeolites. For ZSM5, the CTAB molecular aggregates can hardly diffuse inside the medium-size pores, leading mainly to intercrystalline mesoporosity and increased external surface area, with no positive catalytic impact. On the other hand, for large-pore Y zeolite, the CTAB molecular aggregates can easily diffuse and promote the rearrangement of crystal units around micelles, causing the enlargement of the pores, i.e., intracrystalline porosity. The optimized Y-based sample, treated for 12 h with a CTAB amount 32 times the CMC, shows an increase in product yield and rate constant that was not observed when a higher amount of surfactant was added. The reuse of spent catalysts upon thermal treatment at 400 °C shows a regeneration efficiency around 90%, showing good potentialities for the modified catalysts.

Synthesis of Chiral TFA-Protected α-Amino Aryl-Ketone Derivatives with Friedel-Crafts Acylation of α-Amino Acid N-Hydroxysuccinimide Ester.

Project description:Chiral N-protected α-amino aryl-ketones are one of the useful precursors used in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds and can be constructed via Friedel-Crafts acylation of N-protected α-amino acids. One of the drawbacks of this reaction is the utilization of toxic, corrosive and moisture-sensitive acylating reagents. In peptide construction via amide bond formation, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (OSu), which has high storage stability, can react rapidly with amino components and produces fewer side reactions, including racemization. This study reports the first synthesis and utilization of N-trifluoroacetyl (TFA)-protected α-amino acid-OSu as a potential acyl donor for Friedel-Crafts acylation into various arenes. The TFA-protected isoleucine derivative and its diastereomer TFA-protected allo-isoleucine derivative were investigated to check the retention of α-proton chirality in the Friedel-Crafts reaction. Further utilization of OSu in other branched-chain and unbranched-chain amino acids results in an adequate yield of TFA-protected α-amino aryl-ketone without loss of optical purity.

Mechanochemical Friedel-Crafts acylations.

Project description:Friedel-Crafts (FC) acylation reactions were exploited in the preparation of ketone-functionalized aromatics. Environmentally more friendly, solvent-free mechanochemical reaction conditions of this industrially important reaction were developed. Reaction parameters such as FC catalyst, time, ratio of reagents and milling support were studied to establish the optimal reaction conditions. The scope of the reaction was explored by employment of different aromatic hydrocarbons in conjunction with anhydrides and acylation reagents. It was shown that certain FC-reactive aromatics could be effectively functionalized by FC acylations carried out under ball-milling conditions without the presence of a solvent. The reaction mechanism was studied by in situ Raman and ex situ IR spectroscopy.

Biocatalytic Friedel‐Crafts Reactions

Project description:Abstract Friedel‐Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions are important methodologies in synthetic and industrial chemistry for the construction of aryl‐alkyl and aryl‐acyl linkages that are ubiquitous in bioactive molecules. Nature also exploits these reactions in many biosynthetic processes. Much work has been done to expand the synthetic application of these enzymes to unnatural substrates through directed evolution. The promise of such biocatalysts is their potential to supersede inefficient and toxic chemical approaches to these reactions, with mild operating conditions ‐ the hallmark of enzymes. Complementary work has created many bio‐hybrid Friedel‐Crafts catalysts consisting of chemical catalysts anchored into biomolecular scaffolds, which display many of the same desirable characteristics. In this Review, we summarise these efforts, focussing on both mechanistic aspects and synthetic considerations, concluding with an overview of the frontiers of this field and routes towards more efficient and benign Friedel‐Crafts reactions for the future of humankind. Artificial enzymes: Friedel‐Crafts reactions are a mainstay methodology for organic chemists to construct aryl‐alkyl and aryl‐acyl linkages. Nature uses biocatalysts for performing such reactions to construct an array of bio‐active compounds. In this Review we discuss several examples of such enzymes, as well Friedel‐Crafts artificial enzymes and DNA catalysts, from the useful products they produce, to their mechanism and approaches for engineering.
