Facile Electrochemical Intramolecular Amination of Urea-Tethered Terminal Alkenes for the Synthesis of Cyclic Ureas.

ABSTRACT: Facile intramolecular amination of unactivated alkenes has been achieved by using electricity as a catalyst that helps to generate an intermediate and accelerates formation of cyclic ureas in high yields. Using this method, no metal catalysts were used. During electrolysis, a nitrogen radical was formed at the urea substrate that cyclised with the alkene and generated a terminal carbon radical which further formed a bond with the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl radical (TEMPO). This method of electrolysis not only gives cyclic ureas but also functionalises terminal unactivated alkenes. This method can be considered to be environmentally friendly given that it avoids the issues of toxicity or complicated metal ligands and could therefore be potentially employed in green chemistry.

Catalytic enantioselective intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes using chiral aprotic cyclic urea ligand on manganese (II).

Project description:Asymmetric catalysis for enantioselective intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes is a critical method in the construction of enantioenriched nitrogen-containing rings, often prevalent in biologically active compounds and natural products. Herein, we demonstrate a facile enantioselective intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes for the synthesis of chiral pyrrolidine, piperidine, and indoline moieties, using a manganese (II) chiral aprotic cyclic urea catalyst. The cyclic ligand hinders the inversion of the N atom of the urea and effectively discriminate between the enantiomers of substrates. High-resolution mass spectrometry, deuterium labeling experiments, and molecular orbital energy analysis clearly reveal the intermediates and mechanism of the transformation. As a key step, oxygen coordination by chiral aprotic urea presents a robust control over the asymmetric intra-HA reaction through the involvement of a convergent assembly of two vital intermediates (Mn-N and C-Mn-Br), providing access to chiral cyclic amine systems in high yields with excellent enantioselectivity.

Gold(I)-catalyzed amination of allylic alcohols with cyclic ureas and related nucleophiles.

Project description:A 1:1 mixture of [P(t-Bu)(2)-o-biphenyl]AuCl and AgSbF(6) catalyzes the intermolecular amination of allylic alcohols with 1-methylimidazolidin-2-one and related nucleophiles that, in the case of gamma-unsubstituted or gamma-methyl-substituted allylic alcohols, occurs with high gamma-regioselectivity and syn-stereoselectivity.

Facile Pd(II)- and Ni(II)-catalyzed isomerization of terminal alkenes into 2-alkenes.

Project description:Mono- and 2,2'-disubstituted terminal alkenes can be isomerized into the more stable internal (Z)- and (E)-alkenes by treating them with catalytic amounts of [(allyl)PdCl](2) or [(allyl)NiBr](2), a triarylphosphine, and silver triflate at room temperature. The isomeric ratio (E:Z) depends on the alkenes, the E-isomer being the major one. The reaction is tolerant to a wide variety of functional groups including other reactive olefins. Unlike the more reactive Ir catalysts, monosubstituted alkenes give almost exclusively the 2-alkenes. Direct comparison to two of the best-known catalysts for this process {[Ir(PCy(3))(3)](+)[BPh(4)](-) and Grubbs generation II metathesis catalyst} is also described.

Enantioselective Inter- and Intramolecular Sulfenofunctionalization of Unactivated Cyclic and (<i>Z</i>)-Alkenes.

Project description:A method for the enantioselective, Lewis base-catalyzed sulfenofunctionalization of cyclic and (Z)-alkenes is reported. The intermediate thiiranium ion generated in the presence of a selenophosphoramide catalyst is intercepted by a variety of nucleophiles. A diverse array of inter- and intramolecular functionalizations proceed in high yield and good to high enantioselectivity (86:14-98:2 er). Prior experimental and computational studies indicated such enantiotopic face discrimination to be poor; however, the results disclosed herein remediate the previous findings. Control experiments were performed to investigate the different behavior of (Z)-alkenes and their more established (E)-counterparts.

Tethered Silanoxyiodination of Alkenes.

Project description:We present the first examples of tethered silanoxyiodination reactions of allylic alcohols. The products are useful silanediol organoiodide synthons and are formed with high regioselectivity and diastereocontrol. The reaction is scalable greater than 10-fold without loss of yield or selectivity. Furthermore, the products are starting materials for further transformations, including deiodination, C-N bond installation, epoxide synthesis, and desilylation. DFT calculations provide a basis for understanding the exquisite 6-endo selectivity of this silanoxyiodination reaction and show that the observed products are both kinetically and thermodynamically preferred.

Mechanistic studies of Wacker-type intramolecular aerobic oxidative amination of alkenes catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/pyridine.

Project description:Wacker-type oxidative cyclization reactions have been the subject of extensive research for several decades, but few systematic mechanistic studies of these reactions have been reported. The present study features experimental and DFT computational studies of Pd(OAc)(2)/pyridine-catalyzed intramolecular aerobic oxidative amination of alkenes. The data support a stepwise catalytic mechanism that consists of (1) steady-state formation of a Pd(II)-amidate-alkene chelate with release of 1 equiv of pyridine and AcOH from the catalyst center, (2) alkene insertion into a Pd-N bond, (3) reversible β-hydride elimination, (4) irreversible reductive elimination of AcOH, and (5) aerobic oxidation of palladium(0) to regenerate the active trans-Pd(OAc)(2)(py)(2) catalyst. Evidence is obtained for two energetically viable pathways for the key C-N bond-forming step, featuring a pyridine-ligated and a pyridine-dissociated Pd(II) species. Analysis of natural charges and bond lengths of the alkene-insertion transition state suggest that this reaction is best described as an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the amidate ligand on the coordinated alkene.

Copper-catalyzed oxidative amination and allylic amination of alkenes.

Project description:Enamines and enamides are useful synthetic intermediates and common components of bioactive compounds. A new protocol for their direct synthesis by a net alkene C-H amination and allylic amination by using catalytic Cu(II) in the presence of MnO2 is reported. Reactions between N-aryl sulfonamides and vinyl arenes furnish enamides, allylic amines, indoles, benzothiazine dioxides, and dibenzazepines directly and efficiently. Control experiments further showed that MnO2 alone can promote the reaction in the absence of a copper salt, albeit with lower efficiency. Mechanistic probes support the involvement of nitrogen-radical intermediates. This method is ideal for the synthesis of enamides from 1,1-disubstituted vinyl arenes, which are uncommon substrates in existing oxidative amination protocols.

Intermolecular hydroamination of ethylene and 1-alkenes with cyclic ureas catalyzed by achiral and chiral gold(I) complexes.

Project description:Reaction of 1-methyl-imidazolidin-2-one (1) with 1-octene (10 equiv) catalyzed by a 1:1 mixture of (2b)AuCl [2b = 2-di-tert-butylphosphino-1,1'-binaphthyl] and AgSbF(6) in dioxane at 100 degrees C for 24 h led to isolation of 1-methyl-3-(octan-2-yl)imidazolidin-2-one in 96% yield as a single regioisomer. A range of unactivated 1-alkenes and ethylene underwent gold(I)-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination at or below 100 degrees C in excellent yield with high regioselectivity. Reaction of 1-alkenes with substituted imidazolidin-2-ones catalyzed by chiral bis(gold) phosphine complexes led to enantioselective intermolecular hydroamination with up to 78% ee.

Intramolecular carbonickelation of alkenes.

Project description:The efficiency of the intramolecular carbonickelation of substituted allylic ethers and amines has been studied to evaluate the influence of the groups borne by the double bond on this cyclization. The results show that when this reaction takes place, it affords only the 5-exo-trig cyclization products, viz. dihydrobenzofurans or indoles. Depending on the tethered heteroatom (O or N), the outcome of the cyclization differs. While allylic ethers are relatively poor substrates that undergo a side elimination and need an intracyclic double bond to proceed, allylic amines react well and afford indoline and indole derivatives. Finally, the synthesis of the trinuclear ACE core of a morphine-like skeleton was achieved by using NiBr2bipy catalysis.
