Chemoselective Alpha-Deuteration of Amides via Retro-ene Reaction.

ABSTRACT: A synthetically convenient approach for the direct ?-deuteration of amides is reported. This mechanistically unusual process relies on a retro-ene-type process, triggered by the addition of deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide to a keteniminium intermediate, generated through electrophilic amide activation. The transformation displays broad functional-group tolerance and high deuterium incorporation.

Chemoselective α,β-Dehydrogenation of Saturated Amides.

Project description:We report a method for the selective α,β-dehydrogenation of amides in the presence of other carbonyl moieties under mild conditions. Our strategy relies on electrophilic activation coupled to in situ selective selenium-mediated dehydrogenation. The α,β-unsaturated products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, and their synthetic versatility was demonstrated by a range of transformations. Mechanistic experiments suggest formation of an electrophilic SeIV species.

Chemoselective α-Sulfidation of Amides Using Sulfoxide Reagents.

Project description:The direct α-sulfidation of tertiary amides using sulfoxide reagents under electrophilic amide activation conditions is described. Employing convenient and readily available reagents, selective functionalization takes place to generate isolable sulfonium ions en route to α-sulfide amides. Mechanistic studies identified activated sulfoxides as promoters of the desired transformation and enabled the extension of the methodology from benzylic to aliphatic amide substrates.

Unified Approach to the Chemoselective α-Functionalization of Amides with Heteroatom Nucleophiles.

Project description:Functionalization at the α-position of carbonyl compounds has classically relied on enolate chemistry. As a result, the generation of a new C-X bond, where X is more electronegative than carbon requires an oxidation event. Herein we show that, by rendering the α-position of amides electrophilic through a mild and chemoselective umpolung transformation, a broad range of widely available oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogen nucleophiles can be used to generate α-functionalized amides. More than 60 examples are presented to establish the generality of this process, and calculations of the mechanistic aspects underline a fragmentation pathway that accounts for the broadness of this methodology.

N-Hydroxyimide Ugi Reaction toward α-Hydrazino Amides.

Project description:The Ugi four-component reaction (U-4CR) with N-hydroxyimides as a novel carboxylic acid isostere has been reported. This reaction provides straightforward access to α-hydrazino amides. A broad range of aldehydes, amines, isocyanides and N-hydroxyimides were employed to give products in moderate to high yields. This reaction displays N-N bond formation by cyclic imide migration in the Ugi reaction. Thus, N-hydroxyimide is added as a new acid component in the Ugi reaction and broadens the scaffold diversity.

Highly chemoselective synthesis of hindered amides via cobalt-catalyzed intermolecular oxidative hydroamidation.

Project description:α-Tertiary amides are of great importance for medicinal chemistry. However, they are often challenging to access through conventional methods due to reactivity and chemoselectivity issues. Here, we report a single-step approach towards such amides via cobalt-catalyzed intermolecular oxidative hydroamidation of unactivated alkenes, using nitriles of either solvent- or reagent-quantities. This protocol is selective for terminal alkenes over groups that rapidly react under known carbocation amidation conditions such as tertiary alcohols, electron-rich alkenes, ketals, weak C-H bonds, and carboxylic acids. Straightforward access to a diverse array of hindered amides is demonstrated, including a rapid synthesis of an aminoadamantane-derived pharmaceutical intermediate.

Facile synthesis of α-alkoxyl amides <i>via</i> scandium-catalyzed oxidative reaction between ynamides and alcohols.

Project description:A novel and efficient scandium-catalyzed oxidative reaction between ynamides and alcohols for the facile synthesis of various α-alkoxyl amides is reported in this paper. The reaction avoids the need for the use of α-diazo carbonyls which are unstable and may cause some safety concerns. Instead, by using alkynes as the starting materials, this protocol features readily available substrates, compatibility with a broad range of functional groups, simple procedure, mild reaction conditions, and high chemoselectivity.

Chemoselective Intermolecular Cross-Enolate-Type Coupling of Amides.

Project description:A new approach for the synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds is reported. Chemoselective activation of amide carbonyl functionality and subsequent umpolung via N-oxide addition generates an electrophilic enolonium species that can be coupled with a wide range of nucleophilic enolates. The method conveys broad functional group tolerance on both components, does not suffer from formation of homocoupling byproducts and avoids the use of transition metal catalysts.

Nickel-catalysed retro-hydroamidocarbonylation of aliphatic amides to olefins.

Project description:Amide and olefins are important synthetic intermediates with complementary reactivity which play a key role in the construction of natural products, pharmaceuticals and manmade materials. Converting the normally highly stable aliphatic amides into olefins directly is a challenging task. Here we show that a Ni/NHC-catalytic system has been established for decarbonylative elimination of aliphatic amides to generate various olefins via C-N and C-C bond cleavage. This study not only overcomes the acyl C-N bond activation in aliphatic amides, but also encompasses distinct chemical advances on a new type of elimination reaction called retro-hydroamidocarbonylation. This transformation shows good functional group compatibility and can serve as a powerful synthetic tool for late-stage olefination of amide groups in complex compounds.

Chemoselective Ullmann Reaction of α-Trisubstituted Thioamides: Synthesis of Novel 2-Iminobenzothiolanes.

Project description:New classes of unexplored benzo[b]thiolanes are synthesized from trisubstituted thioamides through copper-catalyzed intramolecular S-arylation of thioamides for the first time. This method provides good to excellent yields with fully controlled chemoselectivity. Unusually, iminobenzo[b]thiolanes are very stable under mild acidic conditions. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the chemoselective S-arylation process.
