Preparation of Polyfunctionalized Aromatic Nitriles from Aryl Oxazolines.

ABSTRACT: A selective ortho,ortho'-functionalization of readily available aryl oxazolines by two successive magnesiations with sBu₂ Mg in toluene followed by trapping reactions with electrophiles, such as (hetero)aryl iodides or bromides, iodine, tosyl cyanide, ethyl cyanoformate or allylic bromides (39 examples, 62-99 % yield) is reported. Treatment of these aryl oxazolines with excess oxalyl chloride and catalytic amounts of DMF (50 °C, 4 h) provided the corresponding nitriles (36 examples, 73-99 % yield). Conversions of these nitriles to valuable heterocycles are reported, and a tentative mechanism is proposed.

Nickel-Catalyzed Thiolation of Aryl Nitriles.

Project description:A nickel-catalyzed thiolation of aryl nitriles has been developed to access functionalized aryl thioethers. The ligand dcype (1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) as well as the base KOt Bu (potassium tert-butoxide) are essential to achieve this transformation. This scalable and practical process involves both a C-C bond activation and a C-S bond formation. Furthermore, this reaction shows a high functional-group tolerance and enables the late-stage functionalization of important molecules.

Facile Conversion of Aryl Amines Having No α-Methylene to Aryl Nitriles.

Project description:Dimethyl carbonimidodithioates, 2 derived from various primary aryl amines (1) by reacting with carbon disulfide and methyl iodide in dimethyl formamide in the presence of concentrated sodium hydroxide, are converted to the diaziridine derivatives, 3 by reacting with hydrazine in ethanol. The diaziridines, 3 on oxidation with lead tetraacetate in refluxing xylene, extrudes nitrogen, and intramolecular stabilization, particularly 1,2-carbon migration, takes place to give the product, 5. The reaction may take place through the intermediates, diazirines, 4, which have not been isolated. This work provides a new approach for the conversion of aryl amines having no α-methylene to aryl nitriles.

Nickel-Catalyzed Coupling of Azoles with Aromatic Nitriles.

Project description:This manuscript describes the Ni-catalyzed coupling of azoles with aromatic nitriles. The use of BPh3 promotes these arylations with electronically diverse azoles and benzonitriles. While the nickel catalyst is necessary for the arylations of phenyl oxazoles, arylation of benzoxazoles with some nitriles affords the arylated products even in the absence of the Ni catalyst albeit in lower yield than the catalyzed process. The Ni-catalyzed process exhibits higher rates and a broader scope than the uncatalyzed transformation.

Fungal degradation of aromatic nitriles. Enzymology of C-N cleavage by Fusarium solani.

Project description:1. A strain of the fungus Fusarium solani able to use benzonitrile as sole source of carbon and nitrogen was isolated by elective culture. 2. Respiration studies indicate that the nitrile, after degradation to benzoate, is catabolized via catechol or alternatively via p-hydroxybenzoate and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate. 3. Cell-free extracts of benzonitrile-grown cells contain an enzyme mediating the conversion of benzonitrile into benzoate and ammonia. 4. The nitrilase enzyme was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) precipitation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The homogeneity of the purified enzyme preparation was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel. 5. The enzyme showed a broad pH optimum between pH7.8 and 9.1 and a K(m) with benzonitrile as substrate of 0.039mm. The activation energy of the reaction deduced from an Arrhenius plot was 48.4kJ/mol. 6. The enzyme was susceptible to inhibition by thiol-specific reagents and certain heavy metal ions. 7. Gel filtration gave a value of 620000 for the molecular weight of the intact enzyme. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the enzyme was composed of eight subunits of mol.wt. 76000. 8. Rates of enzymic attack on various substrates indicated that the nitrilase has a fairly broad specificity and that the fungus probably plays an important role in the biodegradation of certain nitrilic herbicides in the environment.

Superelectrophiles in Synthesis: Preparation of Aromatic Imides.

Project description:Aromatic carboxylic acids are found to undergo reactions with isocyanates, wherein triflic acid promotes the formation of aromatic imide products in fair to good yields. It is proposed that the carboxylic acid group directs the isocyanate electrophile to the ortho-position. This is thought to occur by the formation of a temporary carbamic acid anhydride group, which cleaves upon ortho-functionalization. A series of imide products are synthesized, and the synthesis of a potential selective inhibitor of tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase II is performed.

Solvent-induced infrared frequency shifts in aromatic nitriles are quantitatively described by the vibrational Stark effect.

Project description:The physical properties of solvents strongly affect the spectra of dissolved solutes, and this phenomenon can be exploited to gain insight into the solvent-solute interaction. The large solvatochromic shifts observed for many dye molecules in polar solvents are due to variations in the solvent reaction field, and these shifts are widely used to estimate the change in the dye's dipole moment upon photoexcitation, which is typically on the order of ?1-10 D. In contrast, the change in dipole moment for vibrational transitions is approximately 2 orders of magnitude smaller. Nonetheless, vibrational chromophores display significant solvatochromism, and the relative contributions of specific chemical interactions and electrostatic interactions are debated, complicating the interpretation of vibrational frequency shifts in complex systems such as proteins. Here we present a series of substituted benzonitriles that display widely varying degrees of vibrational solvatochromism. In most cases, this variation can be quantitatively described by the experimentally determined Stark tuning rate, coupled with a simple Onsager-like model of solvation, reinforcing the view that vibrational frequency shifts are largely caused by electrostatic interactions. In addition, we discuss specific cases where continuum solvation models fail to predict solvatochromic shifts, revealing the necessity for more advanced theoretical models that capture local aspects of solute-solvent interactions.

Easy Access to Polyfunctionalized Chiral Decalins.

Project description:An unexpected ring expansion that converts hydrindanes into decalins via an unprecedented dyotropic reaction involving a mesylate group has been observed, and this paved the way for easy access to polyfunctionalized chiral decalins. These polyfunctionalized chiral decalins can be very useful building blocks for the synthesis of the thia analogues of many natural compounds. They can also be used in asymmetric catalysis and also in the synthesis of the new analogues of vitamin D with a modified D ring and side chain. The use of chiral sulfoxide ligands for asymmetric catalysis or asymmetric sulfur ylide-mediated epoxidation of carbonyl compounds is a very important topic in the field of organic chemistry, hence our results could be useful to the scientific community.

Microbial metabolism of aromatic nitriles. Enzymology of C-N cleavage by Nocardia sp. (Rhodochrous group) N.C.I.B. 11216.

Project description:1. An organism utilizing benzonitrile as sole carbon and nitrogen source was isolated by the enrichment-culture technique and identified as a Nocardia sp. of the rhodochrous group. 2. Respiration studies indicate that nitrile degradation proceeds through benzoic acid and catechol. 3. Cell-free extracts of benzonitrile-grown cells contain an enzyme that catalyses the conversion of benzonitrile directly into benzoic acid without intermediate formation of benzamide. 4. This nitrilase enzyme was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 in the presence and absence of substrate. The purity of the enzyme was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel. 5. The enzyme shows a time-dependent substrate-activation process in which the substrate catalyses the association of inactive subunits of mol.wt. 45000 to form the polymeric 12-unit active enzyme of mol.wt. 560000. The time required for complete association is highly dependent on the concentration of the enzyme, temperature and pH. 6. The associated enzyme has a pH optimum of 8.0 and K(m) with benzonitrile as substrate of 4mm. The activation energy of the reaction as deduced from the Arrhenius plot is 51.8kJ/mol. 7. Enzyme activity is inhibited by thiol-specific reagents and several metal ions. 8. Studies with different substrates indicate that the nitrilase is specific for nitrile groups directly attached to the benzene ring. Various substituents in the ring are compatible with activity, though ortho-substitution, except by fluorine, renders the nitrile invulnerable to attack. 9. The environmental implications of these findings and the possible significance of the enzyme in the regulation of metabolism are discussed.
