A highly site-selective radical sp³ C-H amination of azaheterocycles.

ABSTRACT: This report describes the development of a novel C-H amination strategy using both a Cu(ii) Lewis acid and an organic hydrogen atom transfer catalyst to activate benzylic C-H bonds adjacent to aromatic N-heterocycles. This simple methodology demonstrates very high selectivity towards azaheterocycles without using exogenous directing groups and affords excellent site selectivity in substrates with more than one reactive position. A wide range of heterocyclic structures not compatible with previously reported catalytic systems have proven to be amenable to this approach. Mechanistic investigations strongly support a radical-mediated H-atom abstraction, which explains the observed contrast to known closed-shell Lewis acid catalyzed processes.

Silver Catalyzed Site-Selective C(sp3)-H Bond Amination of Secondary over Primary C(sp3)-H Bonds.

Project description:Sulfamates are widespread in numerous pharmacologically active molecules. In this paper, Silver/Bathophenanthroline catalyzed the intramolecular selective amination of primary C(sp3)-H bonds and secondary C(sp3)-H bonds of sulfamate esters, to produce cyclic sulfamates in good yields and with a high site-selectivity. DFT calculations revealed that the interaction between sulfamates and L10 makes the molecule more firmly attached to the catalyst, benefiting the catalysis reaction. The in vitro anticancer activity of the final products was evaluated in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Site-selective amination and/or nitrilation via metal-free C(sp2)-C(sp3) cleavage of benzylic and allylic alcohols.

Project description:Benzylic/allylic alcohols are converted via site-selective C(sp2)-C(sp3) cleavage to value-added nitrogenous motifs, viz., anilines and/or nitriles as well as N-heterocycles, utilizing commercial hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA) and Et3N in an operationally simple, one-pot process. Notably, cyclic benzylic/allylic alcohols undergo bis-functionalization with attendant increases in architectural complexity and step-economy.

Remote Site-Selective Radical C(sp3 )-H Monodeuteration of Amides using D2 O.

Project description:Site-selective incorporation of deuterium into biologically active compounds is of high interest in pharmaceutical industry. We present a mild and environmentally benign metal-free method for the remote selective radical C-H monodeuteration of aliphatic C-H bonds in various amides with inexpensive heavy water (D2 O) as the deuterium source. The method uses the easily installed N-allylsulfonyl moiety as an N-radical precursor that generates the remote C-radical via site-selective 1,5- or 1,6-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Methyl thioglycolate, that readily exchanges its proton with D2 O, serves as the radical deuteration reagent and as a chain-carrier. The highly site-selective monodeuteration has been applied to different types of unactivated sp3 -C-H bonds and also to the deuteration of C-H bonds next to heteroatoms. The potential utility of this method is further demonstrated by the site-selective incorporation of deuterium into natural product derivatives and drugs.

Site-selective α-C(sp3)-H arylation of dialkylamines via hydrogen atom transfer catalysis-enabled radical aryl migration.

Project description:Site-selective C(sp3)-H arylation is an appealing strategy to synthesize complex arene structures but remains a challenge facing synthetic chemists. Here we report the use of photoredox-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis to accomplish the site-selective α-C(sp3)-H arylation of dialkylamine-derived ureas through 1,4-radical aryl migration, by which a wide array of benzylamine motifs can be incorporated to the medicinally relevant systems in the late-stage installation steps. In contrast to previous efforts, this C-H arylation protocol exhibits specific site-selectivity, proforming predominantly on sterically more-hindered secondary and tertiary α-amino carbon centers, while the C-H functionalization of sterically less-hindered N-methyl group can be effectively circumvented in most cases. Moreover, a diverse range of multi-substituted piperidine derivatives can be obtained with excellent diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic and computational studies demonstrate that the rate-determining step for methylene C-H arylation is the initial H atom abstraction, whereas the radical ipso cyclization step bears the highest energy barrier for N-methyl functionalization. The relatively lower activation free energies for secondary and tertiary α-amino C-H arylation compared with the functionalization of methylic C-H bond lead to the exceptional site-selectivity.

Cobalt-catalysed site-selective intra- and intermolecular dehydrogenative amination of unactivated sp(3) carbons.

Project description:Cobalt-catalysed sp(2) C-H bond functionalization has attracted considerable attention in recent years because of the low cost of cobalt complexes and interesting modes of action in the process. In comparison, much less efforts have been devoted to the sp(3) carbons. Here we report the cobalt-catalysed site-selective dehydrogenative cyclization of aliphatic amides via a C-H bond functionalization process on unactivated sp(3) carbons with the assistance of a bidentate directing group. This method provides a straightforward synthesis of monocyclic and spiro ?- or ?-lactams with good to excellent stereoselectivity and functional group tolerance. In addition, a new procedure has been developed to selectively remove the directing group, which enables the synthesis of free ?- or ?-lactam compounds. Furthermore, the first cobalt-catalysed intermolecular dehydrogenative amination of unactivated sp(3) carbons is also realized.

Highly economical and direct amination of sp3 carbon using low-cost nickel pincer catalyst.

Project description:Developing more efficient routes to achieve C-N bond coupling is of great importance to industries ranging from products in pharmaceuticals and fertilizers to biomedical technologies and next-generation electroactive materials. Over the past decade, improvements in catalyst design have moved synthesis away from expensive metals to newer inexpensive C-N cross-coupling approaches via direct amine alkylation. For the first time, we report the use of an amide-based nickel pincer catalyst (1) for direct alkylation of amines via activation of sp3 C-H bonds. The reaction was accomplished using a 0.2 mol% catalyst and no additional activating agents other than the base. Upon optimization, it was determined that the ideal reaction conditions involved solvent dimethyl sulfoxide at 110 °C for 3 h. The catalyst demonstrated excellent reactivity in the formation of various imines, intramolecularly cyclized amines, and substituted amines with a turnover number (TON) as high as 183. Depending on the base used for the reaction and the starting amines, the catalyst demonstrated high selectivity towards the product formation. The exploration into the mechanism and kinetics of the reaction pathway suggested the C-H activation as the rate-limiting step, with the reaction second-order overall, holding first-order behavior towards the catalyst and toluene substrate.

Intramolecular 1,5-C(sp3)-H Radical Amination via Co(II)-Based Metalloradical Catalysis for Five-Membered Cyclic Sulfamides.

Project description:Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC) proves effective for intramolecular 1,5-C-H amination of sulfamoyl azides under neutral and nonoxidative conditions, providing a straightforward approach to access strained 5-membered cyclic sulfamides with nitrogen gas as the only byproduct. The metalloradical amination system is applicable to different types of C(sp3)-H bonds and has a high degree of functional group tolerance. Additional features of the Co(II)-catalyzed 1,5-C-H amination include excellent chemoselectivity toward allylic and propargylic C-H bonds. The unique reactivity and selectivity profile of the Co(II)-catalyzed 1,5-C-H amination is attributed to the underlying radical mechanism of MRC.

Copper-promoted site-selective carbonylation of sp3 and sp2 C-H bonds with nitromethane.

Project description:Copper-promoted direct carbonylation of unactivated sp3 C-H and aromatic sp2 C-H bonds of amides was developed using nitromethane as a novel carbonyl source. The sp3 C-H functionalization showed high site-selectivity by favoring the C-H bonds of α-methyl groups. The sp2 C-H carbonylation featured high regioselectivity and good functional group compatibility. Kinetic isotope effect studies indicated that the sp3 C-H bond breaking step is reversible, whereas the sp2 C-H bond cleavage is an irreversible but not the rate-determining step. Control experiments showed that a nitromethyl intermediate should be involved in the present reaction.

Copper(ii) ketimides in sp3 C-H amination.

Project description:Commercially available benzophenone imine (HN[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2) reacts with β-diketiminato copper(ii) tert-butoxide complexes [CuII]-O t Bu to form isolable copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2. Structural characterization of the three coordinate copper(ii) ketimide [Me3NN]Cu-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 reveals a short Cu-Nketimide distance (1.700(2) Å) with a nearly linear Cu-N-C linkage (178.9(2)°). Copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 readily capture alkyl radicals R˙ (PhCH(˙)Me and Cy˙) to form the corresponding R-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 products in a process that competes with N-N coupling of copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 to form the azine Ph2C[double bond, length as m-dash]N-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2. Copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2 serve as intermediates in catalytic sp3 C-H amination of substrates R-H with ketimines HN[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2 and t BuOO t Bu as oxidant to form N-alkyl ketimines R-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2. This protocol enables the use of unactivated sp3 C-H bonds to give R-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2 products easily converted to primary amines R-NH2 via simple acidic deprotection.
