Direct ?-C-H bond functionalization of unprotected cyclic amines.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic amines are ubiquitous core structures of bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Although the site-selective abstraction of C-H bonds is an attractive strategy for preparing valuable functionalized amines from their readily available parent heterocycles, this approach has largely been limited to substrates that require protection of the amine nitrogen atom. In addition, most methods rely on transition metals and are incompatible with the presence of amine N-H bonds. Here we introduce a protecting-group-free approach for the ?-functionalization of cyclic secondary amines. An operationally simple one-pot procedure generates products via a process that involves intermolecular hydride transfer to generate an imine intermediate that is subsequently captured by a nucleophile, such as an alkyl or aryl lithium compound. Reactions are regioselective and stereospecific and enable the rapid preparation of bioactive amines, as exemplified by the facile synthesis of anabasine and (-)-solenopsin A.

Diversification of Unprotected Alicyclic Amines by C-H Bond Functionalization: Decarboxylative Alkylation of Transient Imines.

Project description:Despite extensive efforts by many practitioners in the field, methods for the direct α-C-H bond functionalization of unprotected alicyclic amines remain rare. A new advance in this area utilizes N-lithiated alicyclic amines. These readily accessible intermediates are converted to transient imines through the action of a simple ketone oxidant, followed by alkylation with a β-ketoacid under mild conditions to provide valuable β-amino ketones with unprecedented ease. Regioselective α'-alkylation is achieved for substrates with existing α-substituents. The method is further applicable to the convenient one-pot synthesis of polycyclic dihydroquinolones through the incorporation of a SN Ar step.

α-C-H Bond Functionalization of Unprotected Alicyclic Amines: Lewis-Acid-Promoted Addition of Enolates to Transient Imines.

Project description:Enolizable cyclic imines, obtained in situ from their corresponding lithium amides by oxidation with simple ketone oxidants, are readily alkylated with a range of enolates to provide mono- and polycyclic β-aminoketones in a single operation, including the natural product (±)-myrtine. Nitrile anions also serve as competent nucleophiles in these transformations, which are promoted by BF3 etherate. β-Aminoesters derived from ester enolates can be converted to the corresponding β-lactams.

Rapid functionalization of multiple C-H bonds in unprotected alicyclic amines.

Project description:The synthesis of valuable bioactive alicyclic amines containing variable substituents in multiple ring positions typically relies on multistep synthetic sequences that frequently require the introduction and subsequent removal of undesirable protecting groups. Although a vast number of studies have aimed to simplify access to such materials through the C-H bond functionalization of feedstock alicyclic amines, the simultaneous introduction of more than one substituent to unprotected amines has never been accomplished. Here we report an advance in C-H bond functionalization methodology that enables the introduction of up to three substituents in a single operation. Lithiated amines are first exposed to a ketone oxidant, generating transient imines that are subsequently converted to endocyclic 1-azaallyl anions, which can be processed further to furnish β-substituted, α,β-disubstituted, or α,β,α'-trisubstituted amines. This study highlights the unique utility of in situ-generated endocyclic 1-azaallyl anions, elusive intermediates in synthetic chemistry.

Connecting remote C-H bond functionalization and decarboxylative coupling using simple amines.

Project description:Transition metal-catalysed C-H functionalization and decarboxylative coupling are two of the most notable synthetic strategies developed in the past 30 years. Here, we connect these two reaction pathways using bases and a simple Pd-based catalyst system to promote a para-selective C-H functionalization reaction from benzylic electrophiles. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies suggest a pathway that involves an uncommon Pd-catalysed dearomatization of the benzyl moiety followed by a base-enabled rearomatization through a formal 1,5-hydrogen migration. This reaction complements 'C-H activation' strategies that convert inert C-H bonds into C-metal bonds prior to C-C bond formation. Instead, this reaction exploits an inverted sequence and promotes C-C bond formation prior to deprotonation. These studies provide an opportunity to develop general para-selective C-H functionalization reactions from benzylic electrophiles and show how new reactive modalities may be accessed with careful control of the reaction conditions.

C-H functionalization of cyclic amines: redox-annulations with ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

Project description:Cyclic amines such as pyrrolidine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline undergo redox-annulations with ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Carboxylic acid promoted generation of a conjugated azomethine ylide is followed by 6?-electrocylization, and, in some cases, tautomerization. The resulting ring-fused pyrrolines are readily oxidized to the corresponding pyrroles or reduced to pyrrolidines.

Redox-neutral ?-C-H bond functionalization of secondary amines with concurrent C-P bond formation/N-alkylation.

Project description:Redox-neutral formation of C-P bonds in the ?-position of amines was achieved via a process that features a combination of an oxidative ?-C-H bond functionalization and a reductive N-alkylation. Benzoic acid functions as an efficient catalyst in this three-component reaction of cyclic secondary amines, aldehydes and phosphine oxides to provide rapid access to ?-amino phosphine oxides not easily accessible by classic Kabachnik-Fields reactions.

Asymmetric synthesis of ?-branched amines via Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization.

Project description:The first asymmetric intermolecular addition of non-acidic C-H bonds to imines is reported. The use of the activating N-perfluorobutanesulfinyl imine substituent is essential for achieving sufficient reactivity and provides outstanding diastereoselectivity (>98:2 dr). Straightforward removal of the sulfinyl group with HCl yields the highly enantiomerically enriched amine hydrochlorides.

α-Functionalization of Cyclic Secondary Amines: Lewis Acid Promoted Addition of Organometallics to Transient Imines.

Project description:Cyclic imines, generated in situ from their corresponding N-lithiated amines and a ketone hydride acceptor, undergo reactions with a range of organometallic nucleophiles to generate α-functionalized amines in a single operation. Activation of the transient imines by Lewis acids that are compatible with the presence of lithium alkoxides was found to be crucial to accommodate a broad range of nucleophiles including lithium acetylides, Grignard reagents, and aryllithiums with attenuated reactivities.

Site-specific C-functionalization of free-(NH) peptides and glycine derivatives via direct C-H bond functionalization.

Project description:A copper-catalyzed alpha-functionalization of glycine derivatives and short peptides with nucleophiles is described. The present method provides ways to introduce functionalities such as aryl, vinyl, alkynyl, or indolyl specifically to the terminal glycine moieties of small peptides, which are normally difficult in peptide modifications. Furthermore, on functionalization, the configurations of other stereocenters in the peptides could be maintained. Because the functionalized peptides could easily be deprotected and carried onto the next coupling process, our approach provides a useful tool for the peptide-based biological research.
