Nickel-Catalyzed Conversion of Amides to Carboxylic Acids.

ABSTRACT: We report the conversion of amides to carboxylic acids using nonprecious metal catalysis. The methodology strategically employs a nickel-catalyzed esterification using 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanol, followed by a fluoride-mediated deprotection in a single-pot operation. This approach circumvents catalyst poisoning observed in attempts to directly hydrolyze amides using nickel catalysis. The selectivity and mildness of this transformation are shown through competition experiments and the net-hydrolysis of a complex valine-derived substrate. This strategy addresses a limitation in the field with regard to functional groups accessible from amides using transition metal-catalyzed C-N bond activation and should prove useful in synthetic applications.

Palladium-Catalyzed α-Arylation of Carboxylic Acids and Secondary Amides via a Traceless Protecting Strategy.

Project description:A novel traceless protecting strategy is presented for the long-standing challenge of conducting the palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of carboxylic aids and secondary amides with aryl halides. Both of the presented coupling processes occur with a variety of carboxylic acids and amides and with a variety of aryl bromides containing a broad range of functional groups, including base-sensitive functionality like acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, nitro, cyano, and even hydroxyl groups. Five commercial drugs were prepared through this method in one step in 81-96% yield. Gram-scale synthesis of medication Naproxen and Flurbiprofen with low palladium loading further highlights the practical value of this method.

Nickel-Catalyzed Esterification of Aliphatic Amides.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that amides can be used in nickel-catalyzed reactions that lead to cleavage of the amide C-N bond, with formation of a C-C or C-heteroatom bond. However, the general scope of these methodologies has been restricted to amides where the carbonyl is directly attached to an arene or heteroarene. We now report the nickel-catalyzed esterification of amides derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids. The transformation requires only a slight excess of the alcohol nucleophile and is tolerant of heterocycles, substrates with epimerizable stereocenters, and sterically congested coupling partners. Moreover, a series of amide competition experiments establish selectivity principles that will aid future synthetic design. These studies overcome a critical limitation of current Ni-catalyzed amide couplings and are expected to further stimulate the use of amides as synthetic building blocks in C-N bond cleavage processes.

Nickel-Catalyzed Reduction of Secondary and Tertiary Amides.

Project description:The nickel-catalyzed reduction of secondary and tertiary amides to give amine products is reported. The transformation is tolerant of extensive variation with respect to the amide substrate, proceeds in the presence of esters and epimerizable stereocenters, and can be used to achieve the reduction of lactams. Moreover, this methodology provides a simple tactic for accessing medicinally relevant ?-deuterated amines.

Nickel-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling of Aliphatic Amides.

Project description:We report the Ni-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aliphatic amide derivatives. Prior studies have shown that aliphatic amide derivatives can undergo Ni-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond formation but that Ni-mediated C-C bond formation using aliphatic amide derivatives has remained difficult. The coupling disclosed herein is tolerant of considerable variation with respect to both the amide-based substrate and the boronate coupling partner and proceeds in the presence of heterocycles and epimerizable stereocenters. Moreover, a gram-scale Suzuki-Miyaura coupling/Fischer indolization sequence demonstrates the ease with which unique polyheterocyclic scaffolds can be constructed, particularly by taking advantage of the enolizable ketone functionality present in the cross-coupled product. The methodology provides an efficient means to form C-C bonds from aliphatic amide derivatives using nonprecious-metal catalysis and offers a general platform for the heteroarylation of aliphatic acyl electrophiles.

Quaternary Centers by Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Tertiary Carboxylic Acids and (Hetero)Aryl Zinc Reagents.

Project description:This work bridges a gap in the cross-coupling of aliphatic redox-active esters with aryl zinc reagents. Previously limited to primary, secondary, and specialized tertiary centers, a new protocol has been devised to enable the coupling of general tertiary systems using nickel catalysis. The scope of this operationally simple method is broad, and it can be used to simplify the synthesis of medicinally relevant motifs bearing quaternary centers.

Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Amination of Carboxylic Acid Esters.

Project description:The reaction of carboxylic acid derivatives with amines to form amide bonds has been the most widely used transformation in organic synthesis over the past century. Its utility is driven by the broad availability of the starting materials as well as the kinetic and thermodynamic driving force for amide bond formation. As such, the invention of new reactions between carboxylic acid derivatives and amines that strategically deviate from amide bond formation remains both a challenge and an opportunity for synthetic chemists. This report describes the development of a nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative reaction that couples (hetero)aromatic esters with a broad scope of amines to form (hetero)aryl amine products. The successful realization of this transformation was predicated on strategic design of the cross-coupling partners (phenol esters and silyl amines) to preclude conventional reactivity that forms inert amide byproducts.

Synthesis of <i>N</i>-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acids.

Project description:Found in biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, amide-containing molecules are ubiquitous in nature, and their derivatization represents a significant methodological goal in fluorine chemistry. Trifluoromethyl amides have emerged as important functional groups frequently found in pharmaceutical compounds. To date, there is no strategy for synthesizing N-trifluoromethyl amides from abundant organic carboxylic acid derivatives, which are ideal starting materials in amide synthesis. Here, we report the synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acid halides and esters under mild conditions via isothiocyanates in the presence of silver fluoride at room temperature. Through this strategy, isothiocyanates are desulfurized with AgF, and then the formed derivative is acylated to afford N-trifluoromethyl amides, including previously inaccessible structures. This method shows broad scope, provides a platform for rapidly generating N-trifluoromethyl amides by virtue of the diversity and availability of both reaction partners, and should find application in the modification of advanced intermediates.

Kinetic Modeling of the Nickel-Catalyzed Esterification of Amides.

Project description:Nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions provide exciting tools in chemical synthesis. However, most methodologies in this area require high catalyst loadings, which commonly range from 10-20 mol % nickel. Through an academic-industrial collaboration, we demonstrate that kinetic modeling can be used strategically to overcome this problem, specifically within the context of the Ni-catalyzed conversion of amides to esters. The successful application of this methodology to a multigram-scale coupling, using only 0.4 mol % Ni, highlights the impact of this endeavor.

Direct Conversion of Carboxylic Acids to Alkyl Ketones.

Project description:An efficient and mild method for acyl-Csp3 bond formation based on the direct conversion of carboxylic acids has been established. This protocol is enabled by the synergistic, Ir-photoredox/nickel catalytic cross-coupling of in situ activated carboxylic acids and alkyltrifluoroborates. This versatile method is amenable to the cross-coupling of structurally diverse carboxylic acids with various potassium alkyltrifluoroborates, affording the corresponding ketones with high yields. In this operationally simple cross-coupling protocol, aliphatic ketones are obtained in one step from bench stable, readily available carboxylic acids.
