Metal-free selective mono-halodecarboxylation of heteroarenes under mild conditions.

ABSTRACT: The halodecarboxylation of heteroarene carboxylic acids by treatment with N-bromosuccinimide or N-chlorosuccinimide was performed. This procedure provides a convenient route to synthetically useful mono-halogenated heteroarene intermediates such as halo-indoles, -aza-indoles, -indazoles and -aza-indazoles. The mild conditions employed and simple protocol provides an advantage over traditional halodecarboxylation procedures that require expensive and toxic metal catalysts, basic conditions, time-consuming intermediate isolation and elevated reaction temperatures.

Ligand- and Additive-Free 2-Position-Selective Trifluoromethylation of Heteroarenes Under Ambient Conditions.

Project description:A highly selective copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of indoles is reported with the assistance of a removable directing group. This protocol provides an easy and rapid method to various 2-position-selective trifluoromethylated heteroarenes including indoles, pyrroles, benzofuran, and acetanilide. What is more, the reaction takes place at ambient conditions without any external ligand or additive.

Light-Driven Metal-Free Direct Deoxygenation of Alcohols under Mild Conditions.

Project description:Hydroxyl is widely found in organic molecules as functional group and its deprivation plays an inevitable role in organic synthesis. However, the direct cleavage of Csp3-O bond in alcohols with high selectivity and efficiency, especially without the assistance of metal catalyst, has been a formidable challenge because of its strong bond dissociation energy and unfavorable thermodynamics. Herein, an efficient metal-free strategy that enables direct deoxygenation of alcohols has been developed for the first time, with hydrazine as the reductant induced by light. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, excellent functional group tolerance, and abundant and easily available starting materials, rendering selective deoxygenation of a variety of 1° and 2° alcohols, vicinal diols, and β-1 and even β-O-4 models of natural wood lignin. This strategy is also highlighted by its "traceless" and non-toxic by-products N2 and H2, as readily escapable gases. Mechanistic studies demonstrated dimethyl sulfide being a key intermediate in this transformation.

Electrophilic Vinylation of Thiols under Mild and Transition Metal-Free Conditions.

Project description:The iodine(III) reagents vinylbenziodoxolones (VBX) were employed to vinylate a series of aliphatic and aromatic thiols, providing E-alkenyl sulfides with complete chemo- and regioselectivity, as well as excellent stereoselectivity. The methodology displays high functional group tolerance and proceeds under mild and transition metal-free conditions without the need for excess substrate or reagents. Mercaptothiazoles could be vinylated under modified conditions, resulting in opposite stereoselectivity compared to previous reactions with vinyliodonium salts. Novel VBX reagents with substituted benziodoxolone cores were prepared, and improved reactivity was discovered with a dimethyl-substituted core.

Chemoselective catalytic hydrodefluorination of trifluoromethylalkenes towards mono-/gem-di-fluoroalkenes under metal-free conditions.

Project description:Fluorine-containing moieties show significant effects in improving the properties of functional molecules. Consequently, efficient methods for installing them into target compounds are in great demand, especially those enabled by metal-free catalysis. Here we show a diazaphospholene-catalyzed hydrodefluorination of trifluoromethylalkenes to chemoselectively construct gem-difluoroalkenes and terminal monofluoroalkenes by simple adjustment of the reactant stoichiometry. This metal-free hydrodefluorination features mild reaction conditions, good group compatibility, and almost quantitative yields for both product types. Stoichiometric experiments indicated a stepwise mechanism: hydridic addition to fluoroalkenes and subsequent β-F elimination from hydrophosphination intermediates. Density functional theory calculations disclosed the origin of chemoselectivity, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, suggesting an electron-donating effect of the alkene-terminal fluorine atom.

Regiospecific N-Arylation of Aliphatic Amines under Mild and Metal-Free Reaction Conditions.

Project description:A transition metal-free N-arylation of primary and secondary amines with diaryliodonium salts is presented. Both acyclic and cyclic amines are well tolerated, providing a large set of N-alkyl anilines. The methodology is unprecedented among metal-free methods in terms of amine scope, the ability to transfer both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating aryl groups, and efficient use of resources, as excess substrate or reagents are not required.

Mild and selective base-free C-H arylation of heteroarenes: experiment and computation.

Project description:A mild and selective C-H arylation strategy for indoles, benzofurans and benzothiophenes is described. The arylation method engages aryldiazonium salts as arylating reagents in equimolar amounts. The protocol is operationally simple, base free, moisture tolerant and air tolerant. It utilizes low palladium loadings (0.5 to 2.0 mol% Pd), short reaction times, green solvents (EtOAc/2-MeTHF or MeOH) and is carried out at room temperature, providing a broad substrate scope (47 examples) and excellent selectivity (C-2 arylation for indoles and benzofurans, C-3 arylation for benzothiophenes). Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations support a Heck-Matsuda type coupling mechanism.

Selective and metal-free epoxidation of terminal alkenes by heterogeneous polydioxirane in mild conditions.

Project description:Polydioxirane (PDOX) was prepared by the treatment of polysalicylaldehyde with Oxone and was found as a selective, highly efficient and heterogeneous reagent for epoxidation of alkenes which can be successfully isolated. This work also introduced a simpler, safer and milder way for epoxidation of alkenes with dioxirane groups than before. PDOX can be simply recovered from the reaction mixture by plain filtration and reused for eight runs without significant reactivity loss.

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.

Project description:This study described an efficient and practical approach for amide synthesis. The reaction was conducted under metal- and solvent-free conditions at a mild temperature (40?°C) in air, and readily available formamides were used as an amino source. This reaction can be easily upgraded to the gram level with an excellent yield.

Catalyst-Free Approach for Hydroboration of Carboxylic Acids under Mild Conditions.

Project description:Herein, we present a facile method for deoxygenative hydroboration of a broad range of carboxylic acids under very mild conditions. The most striking feature of this attractive hydroboration is that this elusive and challenging transformation was realized without catalyst and solvent. The investigation of solvent effect showed that tetrahydrofuran was also suitable for this kind of reaction. Moreover, a successful gram-scale trial may provide a very promising toolkit for carboxylic acid reduction at a large scale.
