RESUMO
Perchlorate (ClO4-) is a groundwater pollutant that is challenging to remediate. We report a strategy to use Fe(II) tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) complexes featuring appended aniline hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) to promote ClO4- reduction. These complexes facilitate oxygen atom transfer from ClO4- to PPh3 and C-H oxygenation reactions of organic substrates. Catalytic reactions using 15 mol % afforded excellent yields for oxygenation of anthracene and cyclic alkyl aromatics, and this methodology tolerates aryl halides as well as heterocycles containing either O, S, or N.
RESUMO
We describe a robust one-pot cascade method for the synthesis of indole-3-carboxylic acids using isatins and DMSO via a one-carbon translocation involving in situ generation of α,ß-unsaturated methylvinylsulfoxide followed by amide bond cleavage and ring closure. The methodology has been extended to afford anthranilic acid derivatives by tuning the reaction conditions in the presence of molecular oxygen. Importantly, easy access to commercially available drugs, including tropisetron, is demonstrated.
RESUMO
A straightforward strategy for direct access of C9-functionalized N-alkyl-acridanes in good to excellent yields has been established via a metal- and external oxidant-free sustainable electrochemical C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction between acridanes and benzo fused lactones at ambient temperature. A broad substrate scope with superior functional-group tolerance via anodic oxidation of acridanes permitted the synthesis of a vast spectrum of fluorescence-active acridanes with high quantum yields.
RESUMO
We report an unprecedented atom-economic one-pot Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed regioselective [3+2]-spiroannulation reaction between dibenz(ox)azepines and ynones, allowing the synthesis of biologically relevant novel spirocyclic dibenz(ox)azepines under operationally simple and mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeds without any silver additive or external oxidant implementing a redox-neutral pathway. A broad substrate scope with diverse functional group tolerance permitted the regioselective synthesis of a wide spectrum of indene-containing spirocyclic dibenz(ox)azepines in good to excellent yields. Also, we showcased detailed mechanistic studies to justify the formation of spirocycles. In addition, the synthetic utility of this process was also demonstrated by the modular synthesis of various steroid conjugates.
RESUMO
We report an atom-economic Rh(III)-catalyzed [3 + 2]-spiroannulation reaction between cyclic ketimines and α,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, allowing the synthesis of novel spirocycles with concomitant generation of three stereogenic centers in one pot. The reaction does not require any silver additives or external oxidants and is believed to proceed in a redox-neutral manner. A broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance permitted the synthesis of a vast spectrum of spirocyclic 1,4-benzoxazine derivatives containing polysubstituted α-aroyl-indanamines in good to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivity.
RESUMO
A straightforward strategy for direct incorporation of sulfonyl units into a xanthene moiety for accessing xanthen-9-sulfone derivatives in good to excellent yields has been established via metal-free radical-radical cross-coupling reaction of xanthenes and sulfonyl hydrazides. Using easily accessible starting materials, this methodology proceeds efficiently with a high degree of functional group compatibility and with a wide scope of both xanthenes and sulfonyl hydrazides under operationally simple reaction conditions. Mechanistic investigations revealed that sulfonyl radicals could be generated from sulfonyl hydrazides in the presence of TBHP under an oxygen atmosphere.
RESUMO
A copper-catalyzed method for direct intermolecular ortho-silylation of benzamides has been developed that affords organosilane products in moderate to high yields. The key features include: (i) use of commercially available disilanes as a silicon source with 8-aminoquinoline as a bidentate directing group, (ii) use of earth-abundant first-row transition metal, (iii) operationally simple conditions without the need of an inert atmosphere, and (iv) tolerance of a wide range of functional groups. The practicality and effectiveness of this method have been demonstrated by a gram-scale experiment. This strategy, therefore, constitutes a convenient way of constructing C-Si bonds useful for synthetic organic chemistry.
RESUMO
Activation of anthrone via benzylic deprotonation in the presence of triethylamine paves the way for the 1,2-addition reaction with imines to provide the desired functionalized anthrones in good to excellent yields under mild and operationally simple reaction conditions with a broad range of substrate scopes without using any external additives or toxic stoichiometric reagents.
RESUMO
An iridium-catalyzed ortho-selective C-H arylation of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines has been achieved with environmentally benign aryl siloxanes. The reaction is highly efficient and proceeds at ambient temperature which is the key feature of the methodology considering the weak coordination nature of the substrate as well as the sluggish reactivity of siloxanes. A wide array of pharmaceutically relevant novel biaryls has been synthesized under operationally simple conditions.
RESUMO
A Rh(III)-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of benzoxazines with nitroolefins that proceeds via redox-neutral C-H functionalization has been demonstrated, leading to the novel class of spirocycles in a single step. The construction of three continuous stereogenic centers has been achieved starting from easily accessible achiral substrates in an atom-efficient manner under mild reaction conditions. A broad range of pharmaceutically relevant nitro substituted spirocyclic 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives has been synthesized in good to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivity.
RESUMO
An Ir(III)-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of weakly coordinating N-sulfonyl ketimines with challenging α, ß-unsaturated nitro olefins has been achieved via redox-neutral C-H functionalization in the presence of a catalytic amount of silver hexafluoroantimonate. The generation of three consecutive stereogenic centers in a single step via direct C-H functionalization is the prime feature of this methodology. A wide array of pharmaceutically relevant nitro-substituted spirocyclic benzosultams was synthesized with good to excellent diastereoselectivity as well as in high yield starting from easily accessible substrates.
