Chemo- and Stereoselective Transition-Metal-Free Amination of Amides with Azides.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of α-amino carbonyl/carboxyl compounds is a contemporary challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a stereoselective α-amination of amides employing simple azides that proceeds under mild conditions with release of nitrogen gas. The amide is used as the limiting reagent, and through simple variation of the azide pattern, various differently substituted aminated products can be obtained. The reaction is fully chemoselective for amides even in the presence of esters or ketones and lends itself to preparation of optically enriched products.

Transition-metal-free chemo- and regioselective vinylation of azaallyls.

Project description:Direct C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond formation under transition-metal-free conditions offers an atom-economical, inexpensive and environmentally benign alternative to traditional transition-metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. A new chemo- and regioselective coupling protocol between 3-aryl-substituted-1,1-diphenyl-2-azaallyl derivatives and vinyl bromides has been developed. This is the first transition-metal-free cross-coupling of azaallyls with vinyl bromide electrophiles and delivers allylic amines in excellent yields (up to 99%). This relatively simple and mild protocol offers a direct and practical strategy for the synthesis of high-value allylic amine building blocks that does not require the use of transition metals, special initiators or photoredox catalysts. Radical clock experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance studies and density functional theory calculations point to an unprecedented substrate-dependent coupling mechanism. Furthermore, an electron paramagnetic resonance signal was observed when the N-benzyl benzophenone ketimine was subjected to silylamide base, supporting the formation of radical species upon deprotonation. The unique mechanisms outlined herein could pave the way for new approaches to transition-metal-free C-C bond formations.

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.

Highly selective transition-metal-free transamidation of amides and amidation of esters at room temperature.

Project description:Amide chemistry has an essential role in the synthesis of high value molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, natural products, and fine chemicals. Over the past years, several examples of transamidation reactions have been reported. In general, transition-metal-based catalysts or harsh conditions are employed for these transformations due to unfavorable kinetics and thermodynamics of the process. Herein, we report a significant advance in this area and present the general method for transition-metal-free transamidation of amides and amidation of esters by highly selective acyl cleavage with non-nucleophilic amines at room temperature. In contrast to metal-catalyzed protocols, the method is operationally-simple, environmentally-friendly, and operates under exceedingly mild conditions. The practical value is highlighted by the synthesis of valuable amides in high yields. Considering the key role of amides in various branches of chemical science, we envision that this broadly applicable method will be of great interest in organic synthesis, drug discovery, and biochemistry.

Transition-Metal- and Light-Free Directed Amination of Remote Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds of Alcohols.

Project description:Due to the great value of amino alcohols, new methods for their synthesis are in high demand. Abundant aliphatic alcohols represent the ideal feedstock for the method development toward this important motif. To date, transition-metal-catalyzed approaches for the directed remote amination of alcohols have been well established. Yet, they have certain disadvantages such as the use of expensive catalysts and limited scope. Very recently, transition-metal-free visible-light-induced radical approaches have emerged as new powerful tools for directed remote amination of alcohols. Relying on 1,5-HAT reactivity, these methods are limited to ? - or ?-amination only. Herein, we report a novel transition-metal- and visible-light-free room-temperature radical approach for remote ? -, ?-, and ?-C(sp3)-N bond formation in aliphatic alcohols using mild basic conditions and readily available diazonium salt reagents.

Visible-light sensitization of vinyl azides by transition-metal photocatalysis.

Project description:Irradiation of vinyl and aryl azides with visible light in the presence of Ru photocatalysts results in the formation of reactive nitrenes, which can undergo a variety of C-N bond-forming reactions. The ability to use low-energy visible light instead of UV in the photochemical activation of azides avoids competitive photodecomposition processes that have long been a significant limitation on the synthetic use of these reactions.

Reactivity Profiles of Diazo Amides, Esters, and Ketones in Transition-Metal-Free C-H Insertion Reactions.

Project description:Vinyl cations derived from diazo ketones participate in transition-metal-free C-H insertion reactions, but the corresponding amide and ester analog exhibit divergent reactivity profiles. Whereas cations formed from diazo ketones undergo a rearrangement and C-H insertion sequence, those from diazo amides do so less efficiently and tend to be competitively trapped before the insertion step occurs. Diazo esters undergo several rearrangement steps and fail to insert. DFT calculations reveal that this disparity stems from two factors: differing levels of electrostatic stabilization of the initially formed vinyl cation by the adjacent carbonyl oxygen and predistortion of the ketone and amide systems toward C-H insertion. The computational data is in strong agreement with experimental results, and this study explains how structural and electronic factors determine the outcome of reactions of diazo carbonyl-derived vinyl cations.

This simple, general, additive/base/ligand-free reaction is mediated by economical TiCl4. The reaction runs under mild conditions. This highly efficient C-N bond formation protocol is valid for diverse amines, including primary, secondary and heterocyclic amines, and even a primary amide and indole.

Cobalt catalyzed sp3 C-H amination utilizing aryl azides.

Project description:A dinuclear Co(ii) complex supported by a modular, tunable redox-active ligand system is capable of selective C-H amination to form indolines from aryl azides in good yields at low (1 mol%) catalyst loading. The reaction is tolerant of medicinally relevant heterocycles, such as pyridine and indole, and can be used to form 5-, 6-, and 7-membered rings. The synthetic versatility obtained using low loadings of an earth abundant transition metal complex represents a significant advance in catalytic C-H amination technology.

Iron-Mediated Electrophilic Amination of Organozinc Halides using Organic Azides.

Project description:A wide range of alkyl-, aryl- and heteroarylzinc halides were aminated with highly functionalized alkyl, aryl, and heterocyclic azides. The reaction proceeds smoothly at 50?°C within 1?h in the presence of FeCl3 (0.5?equiv) to furnish the corresponding secondary amines in good yields. This method was extended to peptidic azides and provided the arylated substrates with full retention of configuration. To demonstrate the utility of this reaction, we prepared two amine derivatives of pharmaceutical relevance using this iron-mediated electrophilic amination as the key step.

To highlight the utility of our photocyclopropanation, we demonstrated the late-stage functionalization of biomolecule derivatives.
