Selective synthesis of formamides, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes and methylamines from cyclic amines and CO2/H2 catalyzed by an ionic liquid-Pd/C system.

ABSTRACT: The reduction of CO2 with amines and H2 generally produces N-formylated or N-methylated compounds over different catalysts. Herein, we report the selective synthesis of formamides, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes, and methylamines, which is achieved over an ionic liquid (IL, e.g., 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [BMIm][BF4])-Pd/C catalytic system. By simply varying the reaction temperature, formamides and methylamines can be selectively produced, respectively, in high yields. Interestingly, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes can also be obtained via the McMurry reaction of the formed formamide coupled with subsequent hydrogenation. It was found that [BMIm][BF4] can react with formamide to form a [BMIm]+-formamide adduct; thus combined with Pd/C it can catalyze McMurry coupling of formamide in the presence of H2 to afford 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethane. Moreover, Pd/C-[BMIm][BF4] can further catalyze the hydrogenolysis of 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethane to access methylamine. [BMIm][BF4]-Pd/C was tolerant to a wide substrate scope, giving the corresponding formamides, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes or methylamines in moderate to high yields. This work develops a new route to produce N-methylamine and opens the way to produce 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethane from cyclic amine as well.

Project description:2-Amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (A?C) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) are carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) that arise during the burning of tobacco and cooking of meats. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) detoxicate many procarcinogens and their metabolites. The genotoxic N-hydroxylated metabolite of A?C, 2-hydroxyamino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (HONH-A?C), undergoes glucuronidation to form the isomeric glucuronide (Gluc) conjugates N(2)-(?-d-glucosidurony1)-2-hydroxyamino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (A?C-HON(2)-Gluc) and O-(?-d-glucosidurony1)-2-hydroxyamino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (A?C-HN(2)-O-Gluc). A?C-HON(2)-Gluc is a stable metabolite but A?C-HN(2)-O-Gluc is a biologically reactive intermediate, which covalently adducts to DNA at levels that are 20-fold higher than HONH-A?C. We measured the rates of formation of A?C-HON(2)-Gluc and A?C-HN(2)-O-Gluc in human organs: highest activity occurred with liver and kidney microsomes, and lesser activity was found with colon and rectum microsomes. A?C-HN(2)-O-Gluc formation was largely diminished in liver and kidney microsomes, by niflumic acid, a selective inhibitor UGT1A9. In contrast, A?C-HON(2)-Gluc formation was less affected and other UGT contribute to N(2)-glucuronidation of HONH-A?C. UGT were reported to catalyze the formation of isomeric Gluc conjugates at the N(2) and N3 atoms of 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (HONH-PhIP), the genotoxic metabolite of PhIP. However, we found that the N3-Gluc of HONH-PhIP also covalently bound to DNA at higher levels than HONH-PhIP. The product ion spectra of this Gluc conjugate acquired by ion trap mass spectrometry revealed that the Gluc moiety was linked to the oxygen atom of HONH-PhIP and not the N3 imidazole atom of the oxime tautomer of HONH-PhIP as was originally proposed. UGT1A9, an abundant UGT isoform expressed in human liver and kidney, preferentially forms the O-linked Gluc conjugates of HONH-A?C and HONH-PhIP as opposed to their detoxicated N(2)-Gluc isomers. The regioselective O-glucuronidation of HONH-A?C and HONH-PhIP, by UGT1A9, is a mechanism of bioactivation of these ubiquitous HAAs.
