Fe3O4@ZrO2/SO42‐: A recyclable magnetic heterogeneous nanocatalyst for synthesis of β‐amino carbonyl derivatives and synthesis of benzylamino coumarin derivatives through Mannich reaction

In the present work, we developed an effective protocol for the synthesis of β‐amino carbonyl compounds and synthesis of benzylamino coumarin derivatives through Mannich type reaction in high yields. Fe₃O₄@ZrO₂/SO₄^2‐ was employed as an effective heterogeneous nanocatalyst for the Mannich reaction. This research consists of two sections. In first section, β‐amino carbonyl derivatives were synthesized under solvent‐free condition. In the other section, benzylamino coumarin compounds were synthesized at room temperature. The present approach offers several advantages such as short reaction times, low cost, easy work‐up, mild reaction conditions, high yields and ease of recovery and reusability of the catalyst without significant loss of activity.     

An Efficient One-pot Synthesis of β-Amino/β-Acetamido Carbonyl Compounds via ZrCl4-catalyzed Mannich-type Reaction

Zirconium(IV) chloride catalyzed efficient one-pot synthesis of β-amino/β-acetamido carbonyl compounds at room temperature is described. In the presence of ZrCl4, the three-component Mannich-type reaction via a variety of in situ generated aldimines, with various ketones, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines in ethanol, led to the formation of β-amino carbonyl compounds and the four-component Mannich-type reaction of aromatic aldehydes with various ketones, acetonitrile and acetyl chloride resulted in the corresponding β-acetamido carbonyl compounds in high to excellent yields. This methodology has also been applied towards the synthesis of dimeric β-amino/β-acetamido carbonyl compounds.     

Solvent-switchable Acetalization by Yb（OTf）3-Catalyzed Procedures

This new protection-deprotection protocol presents the advantages of ease of execution, high efficiency and good chemoselectivity.

Synthesis of Phenanthrene Derivatives through the Reaction of an α,α‐Dicyanoolefin with α,β‐Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Phenanthrene derivatives were prepared by reacting an α,α‐dicyanoolefin with different α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds resulting from Wittig reaction of ninhydrin and phosphanylidene or condensation of barbituric acid and an aldehyde. The easy procedure, mild and metal‐catalyst free, reaction conditions, good yields, and no need for chromatographic purifications are important features of this protocol. The structures of the product of type 3 and 5 were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS). A plausible mechanism for this type of reaction is proposed (Scheme 1).     

Heterogeneous versus Homogeneous Copper(II) Catalysis in Enantioselective Conjugate‐Addition Reactions of Boron in Water

We have developed Cu^II‐catalyzed enantioselective conjugate‐addition reactions of boron to α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds and α,β,γ,δ‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds in water. In contrast to the previously reported Cu^I catalysis that required organic solvents, chiral Cu^II catalysis was found to proceed efficiently in water. Three catalyst systems have been exploited: cat. 1: Cu(OH)₂ with chiral ligand L1 ; cat. 2: Cu(OH)₂ and acetic acid with ligand L1 ; and cat. 3: Cu(OAc)₂ with ligand L1 . Whereas cat. 1 is a heterogeneous system, cat. 2 and cat. 3 are homogeneous systems. We tested 27 α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds and an α,β‐unsaturated nitrile compound, including acyclic and cyclic α,β‐unsaturated ketones, acyclic and cyclic β,β‐disubstituted enones, acyclic and cyclic α,β‐unsaturated esters (including their β,β‐disubstituted forms), and acyclic α,β‐unsaturated amides (including their β,β‐disubstituted forms). We found that cat. 2 and cat. 3 showed high yields and enantioselectivities for almost all substrates. Notably, no catalysts that can tolerate all of these substrates with high yields and high enantioselectivities have been reported for the conjugate addition of boron. Heterogeneous cat. 1 also gave high yields and enantioselectivities with some substrates and also gave the highest TOF (43 200 h^?1) for an asymmetric conjugate‐addition reaction of boron. In addition, the catalyst systems were also applicable to the conjugate addition of boron to α,β,γ,δ‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds, although such reactions have previously been very limited in the literature, even in organic solvents. 1,4‐Addition products were obtained in high yields and enantioselectivities in the reactions of acyclic α,β,γ,δ‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds with diboron 2 by using cat. 1, cat. 2, or cat. 3. On the other hand, in the reactions of cyclic α,β,γ,δ‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds with compound 2 , whereas 1,4‐addition products were exclusively obtained by using cat. 2 or cat. 3, 1,6‐addition products were exclusively produced by using cat. 1. Similar unique reactivities and selectivities were also shown in the reactions of cyclic trienones. Finally, the reaction mechanisms of these unique conjugate‐addition reactions in water were investigated and we propose stereochemical models that are supported by X‐ray crystallography and MS (ESI) analysis. Although the role of water has not been completely revealed, water is expected to be effective in the activation of a borylcopper(II) intermediate and a protonation event subsequent to the nucleophilic addition step, thereby leading to overwhelmingly high catalytic turnover.     

Allylation of Carbonyl Compounds Mediated by Aluminum/Fluoride Salts in Water

A novel mediator (Al/KF) has been developed and employed in the Barbier‐type alkylations of various aldehydes and ketones with alkyl halide in water. The carbonyl compounds could be effectively converted into corresponding homoallylic alcohol in good yields only when allyl bromides or substituted allyl bromides were used as halides. Aromatic aldehydes could afford homoallylic alcohols in high yields, unfortunately, the allylation of aromatic aldehyde substituted by nitro‐ or amino‐group could not proceed smoothly, and the allylation yields of ketones and aliphatic carbonyl compounds were lower under the same condition. The diastereoselectivity and regioseletivity of the reaction have also been studied, the predominant products preferred the erythro‐ or anti‐isomer in dominant γ‐adduct by using Al/KF mediated allylation of benzaldehydes with cinnamyl bromide and ethyl 4‐bromo‐2‐butenoate in water.     

Highly Stereoselective Conjugate Addition and α‐Alkynylation Reaction with Electron‐Deficient Alkynes Catalyzed by Chiral Scandium(III) Complexes

The highly Z‐selective asymmetric conjugate addition of 3‐substituted oxindoles to alkynyl carbonyl compounds has been developed by using scandium complexes of chiral N,N′‐dioxides under mild conditions. The thermodynamically unstable Z‐olefin derivatives were obtained in excellent yields and high enantiomeric and geometric control. The catalyst was also found to be effective in the asymmetric acetylenic substitution reaction of 3‐substituted oxindoles, giving excellent enantioselectivities.     

Friedländer synthesis of poly‐substituted quinolines in the presence of triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate [Et3NH][HSO4] as a highly efficient,and cost effective acidic ionic liquid catalyst

J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).     

Synthesis of Quinolines via a Metal‐Catalyzed Dehydrogenative N‐Heterocyclization

Efficient ruthenium‐, rhodium‐, palladium‐, copper‐ and iridium‐catalysed methodologies have been recently developed for the synthesis of quinolines by the reaction of 2‐aminobenzyl alcohols with carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) or the related alcohols. The reaction is assumed to proceed via a sequence involving initial metal‐catalysed oxidation of 2‐aminobenzyl alcohols to the related 2‐aminobenzaldehydes, followed by cross aldol reaction with a carbonyl compound under basic conditions to afford α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds. These aldehydes or ketones can be also generated in situ via dehydrogenation of the related primary and secondary alcohols. In the final step cyclodehydration of the α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compound intermediates gives quinolines. Good yields of quinolines were also obtained by reacting 2‐nitrobenzyl alcohols and secondary alcohols in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst. Finally, aniline derivatives afforded also a useful access to quinolines by the reaction with 1,3‐propanediol or 3‐amino‐1‐propanol, or in a three‐component reaction with benzyl alcohol and aliphatic alcohols.
