Direct catalytic diastereoselective Mannich reactions: the synthesis of protected α-hydroxy-β-aminoketones

The combination of Mg(ClO₄)₂, 2,2′-bipyridine and N-methylmorpholine generates an effective catalyst system for the direct addition of α-carbonate-substituted ketones to aryl N-Ts imines. Methyl-carbonate-substituted ketones deliver acyclic α-hydroxy-β-aminoketone derivates, while ketones substituted with α-iso-propenyl-carbonates furnish cyclic carbamate adducts. In both cases the anti-configured Mannich products dominate.     

Synthesis of N-aryl trifluoromethylarylketoimines by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of N-aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides with aryl boronic acids

A highly efficient Suzuki reaction between N-aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides and aryl boronic acids using Pd(PPh₃)₄ as a catalyst has been developed. This route allows for selective synthesis of N-aryl trifluoromethylarylketoimines in high yields under mild reaction conditions.

By the reaction of substituted N-arylamides of maleopimaric acid with methanesulfonic acid biologically active methanesulfonates were obtained.     

Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of sulfonamides with aryl iodides and bromides facilitated by amino acid ligands

A highly general, convenient, and inexpensive catalyst system was developed for the N-arylation of sulfonamides with aryl iodides or bromides by using 5-20 mol % of CuI as catalyst, 20 mol % of N-methylglycine (for aryl iodides) or N,N-dimethylglycine (for aryl bromides) as ligand, and K₃PO₄ as base.     

Supported Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of Diaryl Ketones from Aryl Bromides and Arylboronic Acids

A palladium supported on graphitic carbon nitride (Pd/g-C₃N₄) catalyzed carbonylative reaction of aryl bromides and arylboronic acids by has been developed for the construction of diaryl ketones. Using benzene-1,3,5-triyl triformate (TFBen) as the CO source, the reaction proceeded well to give various diaryl ketones in moderate to good yields.     

Selective reactivity of electron-rich aryl iodides in the Heck arylation of disubstituted alkenes catalyzed by palladium–arylurea complexes

A catalyst consisting of 1 mol % of the 1:2 complex of Pd(OAc)₂ with N-(4-carbethoxyphenyl)urea promotes the Heck arylation of 2- or 3-substituted, conjugated esters, nitriles, aldehydes, and ketones (an uncharacteristically broad range of substrates), but only with electron-rich aryl iodides (an uncharacteristically narrow range of halides).     

Palladium-catalyzed redox cascade for direct β-arylation of ketones

Herein we report a full article about the detailed design and development of two palladium-catalyzed redox cascade methods that enable direct β-arylation of ketones. Palladium-catalyzed ketone dehydrogenation, aryl-X bond activation and conjugate addition were merged into a redox-neutral catalytic cycle. Non-metal-based aryl electrophiles were used as both the oxidant and the aryl source. The β-arylation with aryl iodides was achieved site-selectively with Pd(TFA)₂/P(i-Pr)₃ as the precatalyst and AgTFA as the iodide scavenger. Both cyclic and linear ketones can react to give β-aryl ketones with excellent functional group tolerance. The β-arylation with diaryliodonium salts was realized without stoichiometric heavy metal additives, and proved to be redox-neutral. A wider substrate scope regarding aryl groups and ketones was obtained for the arylation with diaryliodonium salts, and the possible involvement of palladium nanoparticles as the active catalyst was examined and discussed.     

Pd2dba3/P(i-BuNCH2CH2)3N: a highly efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of trans-4-N,N-diarylaminostilbenes and N,N-diarylaminostyrenes

A Pd₂dba₃/P(i-BuNCH₂CH₂)₃N catalyzed one-pot synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted trans-4-N,N-diarylaminostilbenes and both symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted N,N-diarylaminostyrene derivatives is reported. The procedure involves two or more palladium catalyzed sequential coupling reactions (an amination and an inter-molecular Heck reaction) in one-pot using the same catalyst system with two different aryl halides, including aryl chlorides and hetero aryl halides as the coupling partners.     

Electrophilic ipso-iodination of silylated arylboronic acids

Silylated functionalized arylboronic acids were converted into corresponding iodinated arylboronic acids in good yields via the electrophilic ipso-desilylation effected with iodine chloride in refluxing CHCl₃. Disilylated arylboronic acids were susceptible to diiodination. In addition, the structural characterization and reactivity of a novel sterically hindered ortho-silylated diarylborinic ester were reported. The potential of selected iodinated phenylboronic acids as monomers for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling polymerization was demonstrated.     

Palladium-catalysed direct arylations of NH-free pyrrole and N-tosylpyrrole with aryl bromides

The palladium-catalysed direct coupling of aryl halides with pyrroles provides a greener access to arylated pyrroles than more classical couplings such as Suzuki, Stille or Negishi reactions. However, so far, NH-free pyrrole and N-tosylpyrrole gave disappointing results for such couplings either in terms of regioselectivity of the arylation, catalyst loading or substrate scope. The reactivity of both NH-free pyrrole and N-tosylpyrrole was studied, and the tosylated pyrrole led to higher yields of coupling products due to better conversions of the aryl bromides. A range of aryl bromides undergo regioselective coupling at C2 of N-tosylpyrrole in moderate to good yields using 1 mol % [Pd(Cl(C₃H₅)]₂ as the catalyst, KOAc as the base in DMAc.     

Synthesis of β-aryl ketones by tetraphosphine/palladium catalysed Heck reactions of 2- or 3-substituted allylic alcohols with aryl bromides

Through the use of [PdCl(C₃H₅)]₂/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as a catalyst, a range of aryl bromides undergoes Heck reaction using 2- or 3-subtituted allylic alcohols. With these sterically congested alkenes, the selective formation of β-aryl ketones was observed when appropriate reaction conditions were used. The influence of the functional group on the aryl bromide and of the base on the selectivity is remarkable. With several substrates, much higher selectivities were obtained using NaHCO₃ instead of K₂CO₃ as base. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading with several substrates.     

Copper(I) 3-Methylsalicylate Mediates the Chan–Lam N-Arylation of Heterocycles

Copper(I) 3-methylsalicylate (CuMeSal) mediates N-arylation reactions between aryl boronic acids and aromatic heterocycles (Chan–Lam coupling) under moderate reaction conditions (K₂CO₃, methanol, 65 °C, in air, 3–5 h). Both electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl boronic acids and a diverse set of N-heterocycles were allowed to react and gave N-arylation products in reasonable yields, which demonstrate the utility of this catalyst.     

Tetraphosphine/palladium catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with alkylboronic acids

Through the use of [PdCl(C₃H₅)]₂/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as a catalyst, a range of aryl bromides and chlorides undergoes Suzuki cross-coupling with alkylboronic acids in good yields. Several alkyl substituents such as ethyl, n-butyl, n-octyl, isobutyl or 2,2-dimethylpropyl on the alkylboronic acids have been successfully used. The functional group tolerance on the aryl halide is remarkable; substituents such as fluoro, methyl, methoxy, acetyl, formyl, benzoyl, nitro or nitrile are tolerated. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading, even for reactions of sterically hindered aryl bromides.     

Highly efficient asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by chiral ‘roofed’ cis-diamine-Ru(II) complex

A new type of chiral Ru(II) complex, prepared from a conformationally rigid, sterically bulky ‘roofed’ cis-diamine and [RuCl₂(benzene)]₂, functions as an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a wide variety of aryl ketones, including sterically bulky ketones, when the reaction is conducted in the presence of 5HCO₂H·2NEt₃.     

Iodine-mediated one-pot synthesis of C-3 acylated indolizines from pyridines,aryl methyl ketones and acrylate derivatives

An I₂/CuI-promoted multi-component reaction from pyridines, aryl methyl ketones and electron deficient acrylates has been accomplished in a “one-pot” manner, which provides a straightforward and efficient access to C-3 acylated indolizines. The key intermediate of N-ylides is hypothesized to be generated in situ from pyridines and (hetero)aryl methyl ketones in the presence of iodine. This method has been applied in the synthesis of two molecules with anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory activities.     

General and highly efficient fluorinated-N-heterocyclic carbene–based catalysts for the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction

A general and highly efficient trifluoromethylated-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based catalyst for the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was reported. In the presence of the catalyst, reactions of non-activated aryl chlorides and triflates with aryl boronic acids occurred at room temperature with good to excellent yields (63–98%). In addition, catalysts generated from a combination of Pd(OAc)₂/imidazolium salt 6a is not only effective for the coupling of heteroaryl boronic acid with aryl halides and heteroaryl halides, but also efficient for coupling of other heteroaryl halides and heteroaryl boronic acids. Finally, the catalyst is highly effective for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides and chlorides with 0.01–0.1 mol % loading if the temperature was raised at refluxed THF/H₂O.     

Direct synthesis of 3-arylpropionic acids by tetraphosphine/palladium catalysed Heck reactions of aryl halides with acrolein ethylene acetal

Through the use of [PdCl(C₃H₅)]₂/Cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as a catalyst, a range of aryl bromides undergoes Heck reaction with acrolein ethylene acetal. With this acetal, the selective formation of 3-arylpropionic acids/esters was observed. The functional group tolerance on the aryl halide is remarkable; substituents such as fluoro, methyl, methoxy, acetyl, formyl, benzoyl, nitro or nitrile are tolerated. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading, even for reactions of sterically hindered aryl bromides.     

New Recoverable Organoselenium Catalyst for Hydroperoxide Oxidation of Organic Substrates

New benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one covalently bounded to a silica support was synthesized and characterized. It was used as an effective, selective, and easy-to-regenerate catalyst for t-BuOOH and H₂O₂ oxidation of alkyl arenes to alkyl aryl ketones, aromatic aldehydes to arene carboxylic acids, and sulfoxides and/or sulfones.     

Ketones from Nickel‐Catalyzed Decarboxylative,Non‐Symmetric Cross‐Electrophile Coupling of Carboxylic Acid Esters

Synthesis of the C?C bonds of ketones relies upon one high‐availability reagent (carboxylic acids) and one low‐availability reagent (organometallic reagents or alkyl iodides). We demonstrate here a ketone synthesis that couples two different carboxylic acid esters, N‐hydroxyphthalimide esters and S‐2‐pyridyl thioesters, to form aryl alkyl and dialkyl ketones in high yields. The keys to this approach are the use of a nickel catalyst with an electron‐poor bipyridine or terpyridine ligand, a THF/DMA mixed solvent system, and ZnCl₂ to enhance the reactivity of the NHP ester. The resulting reaction can be used to form ketones that have previously been difficult to access, such as hindered tertiary/tertiary ketones with strained rings and ketones with α‐heteroatoms. The conditions can be employed in the coupling of complex fragments, including a 20‐mer peptide fragment analog of Exendin(9–39) on solid support.
