Microwave-assisted synthesis of rhodamine derivatives

The microwave synthesis of 12 rhodamine-derived imines is described. The present work involves condensation of rhodamine hydrazide with various aromatic aldehydes in ethanol under microwave irradiation. The results obtained indicate that, unlike classical heating, microwave irradiation results in higher yields, shorter reaction time, mild reaction condition and simple work-up procedure. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR and high-resolution mass spectra data.     

Microwave-assisted C–H bond activation using a commercial microwave oven for rapid deuterium exchange labeling (C–H → C–D) in carbohydrates

Studies have shown that facile hydrogen → deuterium exchange in two model carbohydrates via stereospecific C–H bond activation could be achieved using a pre-sonicated Raney Nickel^® catalyst and microwave irradiation. Using a simple commercial microwave oven and a silica-gel bath, monosaccharide and disaccharide samples underwent isotopic exchange using microwave irradiation for sequential 15 s intervals. The influence of chilling between irradiation intervals was examined. The results revealed increasing levels of ²H incorporation without either epimerization or concomitant decomposition seen earlier in non-optimized experiments.

Hydrogen–Deuterium Exchange Reactions of Aromatic Compounds and Heterocycles by NaBD4‐Activated Rhodium,Platinum and Palladium Catalysts

Conventional thermal and microwave conditions were compared for hydrogen–deuterium (H/D) exchange reactions of aminobenzoic acids catalysed by NaBD₄‐activated Pd/C or RhCl₃ with D₂O as the deuterium source. We also investigated different NaBD₄‐activated metal catalysts (including Pd/C, RhCl₃ and Pt/C) under microwave conditions for an efficient H/D exchange of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds. Even higher deuterium incorporations were obtained for Pd/C and Pt/C catalyst mixtures due to the previously observed synergistic effect. Finally, we have applied these optimised conditions for one‐step syntheses of the MS standards of several pharmaceutically active compounds.

Visible light driven deuteration of formyl C–H and hydridic C(sp3)–H bonds in feedstock chemicals and pharmaceutical molecules

Deuterium labelled compounds are of significant importance in chemical mechanism investigations, mass spectrometric studies, diagnoses of drug metabolisms, and pharmaceutical discovery. Herein, we report an efficient hydrogen deuterium exchange reaction using deuterium oxide (D₂O) as the deuterium source, enabled by merging a tetra-n-butylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) hydrogen atom transfer photocatalyst and a thiol catalyst under light irradiation at 390 nm. This deuteration protocol is effective with formyl C–H bonds and a wide range of hydridic C(sp³)–H bonds (e.g. α-oxy, α-thioxy, α-amino, benzylic, and unactivated tertiary C(sp³)–H bonds). It has been successfully applied to the high incorporation of deuterium in 38 feedstock chemicals, 15 pharmaceutical compounds, and 6 drug precursors. Sequential deuteration between formyl C–H bonds of aldehydes and other activated hydridic C(sp³)–H bonds can be achieved in a selective manner.

Microwave promoted rapid nitration of phenolic compounds with calcium nitrate

Highly accelerated and safe nitration of phenolic compounds has been found to be feasible with a mixture of calcium nitrate and acetic acid as an efficient nitration agent under brief microwave irradiation. This method is compatible with the green chemistry approach because calcium salts—the inorganic byproducts—can be useful agrochemicals rather than waste chemicals. Commercially available ¹⁵N-labeled calcium nitrate is convenient for the preparation of ¹⁵N-labeled compounds for metabolic studies and mass spectrometry. This safe nitration method can be included in laboratory experiments for high school and college students.
