In the present work, we study the reaction of fluorinated hydrazines H ₂ N-NHR _F with α-ketophosphonates 1, which lead to N-fluoroalkylated α-phosphonylated hydrazones 2. The stereochemistry of the hydrazones 2 was determined by multinuclear NMR experiments ( ¹ H, ¹³ C, ¹⁹ F, and ³¹ P) and IR spectroscopy.

Trading N and O. Part 2: Exploiting aziridinium intermediates for the synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids

The β-hydroxy-α-amino acids (S,S)-allo-threonine, (S,S)-β-hydroxyleucine and a range of aryl substituted (S,S)-β-hydroxyphenylalanines were prepared from the corresponding enantiopure anti-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters via a rearrangement protocol, which proceeds via the intermediacy of the corresponding aziridinium ions. The starting anti-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters were prepared in >99:1 dr using our diastereoselective aminohydroxylation procedure, whereby conjugate addition of lithium (R)-N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to an α,β-unsaturated ester is followed by oxidation of the resultant enolate with (−)-camphorsulfonyloxaziridine. Subsequent activation of the hydroxyl group within the anti-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters promoted aziridinium ion formation [which proceeds with inversion of configuration at C(2)], and regioselective ring-opening of the intermediate aziridinium ions with H₂O [which proceeds with inversion of configuration at C(3)] gave the corresponding anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino esters as single diastereoisomers (>99:1 dr). Deprotection of these substrates via sequential hydrogenolysis and ester hydrolysis gave the corresponding β-hydroxy-α-amino acids in good yield and high diastereoisomeric and enantiomeric purity.     

Chiral N-phosphonyl imine chemistry: asymmetric additions of malonate-derived enolates to chiral N-phosphonyl imines for the synthesis of β-aminomalonates

Chiral N-phosphonyl imines attached by 1-naphthyl group were found to react with lithium malonate enolates smoothly to give chiral β-aminomalonates. Good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity were achieved for sixteen examples. The chiral auxiliary can be readily removed by treating with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to give free amino malonates. The absolute structure has been unambiguously determined by converting one of the products into an authentic sample.     

Visible-light photo-catalytic C–C bond cleavages: preparations of N,N-dialkylformamides from 1,2-vicinal diamines

A range of 1,2-vicinal diamines were smoothly converted into N,N-dialkylformamides under the synergistic actions of Ru(bpy)₃Cl₂ photo-catalyst, 45 W household lighting bulb, and Cs₂CO₃ basic additive under very mild reaction conditions. The process involves visible light-enabled photo-catalytic cleavage of C–C bond as the strategic event.     

Synthesis and structure of N-arylimines of β-tellurocyclohexenals with the intramolecular coordination N → Te bonds

A series of N-arylimines of β-tellurocyclohexenals 11 have been synthesized and the molecular and crystal structures of the compounds 11a-e and also β-(dimethyltelluronium)cyclohexenal perchlorate 12 studied by X-ray crystallography. All the compounds contain strong intramolecular coordination N → Te (O → Te) bonds of the hypervalent type. In 11a-e, the lengths of the N → Te bonds are within the range of 2.690-2.147 Å and are 1.0-1.5 Å shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of respective atoms. In the N-arylimines 11b-e with the electronegative groups attached to the tellurium center, the lengths of the N → Te bonds are very close to that characteristic of a standard covalent N-Te bond. The experimental observed geometries are well reproduced by the DFT calculations performed at B3LYP/LanL2DZ level of approximation. The energies of the intramolecular coordination N → Te bonds vary from 23 kJ mol⁻¹ for 11a to 119 kJ mol⁻¹ for 11e. The calculated energy of the O → Te bond in 12 was found to be 50 kJ mol⁻¹. The ¹²⁵Te NMR chemical shifts of compounds 11 span the wide range of 734.3-1622.4 ppm. The largest downfield ¹²⁵Te NMR chemical shifts are observed in the case of the compounds 11e, f in which the most electronegative atoms are attached to the tellurim centers.     

N-(α-Amidoalkyl)benzotriazole-mediated synthesis of β′-amido β-diketones: a general synthetic protocol for N-[β-(3,5-di and 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazol-4-yl)alkyl] amides

Various β′-amido-β-diketones were first synthesized with N-(α-amidoalkyl)benzotriazole-mediated amidoalkylation of 1,3-diketones in moderate yields. These intermediates undergo rapid condensation with hydrazines to give the corresponding N-[β-(3,5-di and 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazol-4-yl)alkyl]amides.     

A convenient CeCl3·7H2O/NaI-promoted synthesis of structurally novel and strained tricyclic β-lactams from hydrazines

A convenient synthetic protocol for structurally novel and strained highly derivatized tricyclic β-lactams has been developed. The synthesis involves CeCl₃·7H₂O/NaI catalyzed addition-condensation of mercaptoacetic acid and N-aroyl-N′-arylidenehydrazines followed by intramolecular cyclodehydration to afford bicyclic 5H-thiazolo[4,3-b][1,3,4]-oxadiazoles, which on treatment with acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine furnish highly derivatized tricyclic 3H-azetidino[2,1-b]-thiazolo[3,4-d][1,3,4]-oxadiazol-6-ones in 80-93% yields. The process presents an excellent illustration of Ce(III)-catalyzed C-C, C-N and C-S bond formation in a one-pot procedure.     

Étude de la réactivité des radicaux α-ester : influence des centres stéréogènes en position α’ et β’

The formation of 2-syn and 2-anti addition products, between a 1-E olefin and an acyclic radical is under kinetic control, although addition of n-Bu₃Sn^• to the 1-Z leads to 1-E olefin. Hydride capture is often independent of the nature of the radical, but the difference of behaviour between A^• and B^• radicals results from their stability, induced by the existing chiral centres present in the molecule. Capture of the intermediate radical in α of the ester by deuterium occurs with a diastereomeric excess, varying between 30 and 78%, depending on the nature of the centres situated in α’ and β’ positions.     

Dépôt de TiC sur fibres de carbone par CVD réactive: Influence des conditions expérimentales sur les caractéristiques des fibres obtenues

Uniform coating of the filament in a carbon yarn by titanium carbide occurs by direct reaction of titanium tetrachloride vapour and hydrogen with the surface of the fibre at temperatures exceeding 1200 K. Continuous fibre treatment is achieved under atmospheric pressure. Mechanical properties derived from tensile tests on single filaments permit the experimental CVD (chemical vapour deposition) conditions to be optimized. Temperature is the decisive factor: at 1240 K and for 0.8 min treatment, high quality C(TiC) fibres are obtained (σ_R = 2965MPa). At higher temperature the tensile strength decreases. In order to explain this phenomenon, variations in size of the carbon and the titanium carbide crystallites are studied with respect to experimental conditions.     

Regioselective ring opening of β-phenylglycidate and aziridine-2-carboxylates with N-alkylhydroxylamines: synthesis of isoxazolidinones

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of 4-hydroxy or 4-alkylamino isoxazolidin-3-ones and 4-hydroxy isoxazolidin-5-ones is described. The synthesis involved the ring opening of ethyl β-arylglycidates or ethyl N-alkylaziridine-2-carboxylates by free N-alkylhydroxylamines or hydroxylamine anions, followed by cyclization to give the title isoxazolidinones in moderate to good yields.     

Action du Tris(Diméthylamino)phosphine et de l'Oxyde de P,P-dichlorophenylphosphine sur les N 1Tosylamidrazones: Obtention des 3-(Dimethylamino) 1,2,4,3-triazaphospholines et des 3-Oxo1,2,4,3-triazaphospholines

The reaction of N¹-tosylamidrazones with tris(dimethylamino)phosphine and P,P-dichlorophenylphosphine oxide provides respectively a convenient access to the new 3-(dimethylamino)-1,2,4,3-triazaphospholines and 1,2,4,3-triazaphosphlines-3-oxide. The structure of all obtained products is confirmed by NMR (¹ H, ³¹ P, ¹³C) and IR spectroscopy.     

Réactivité des iminophosphoranes F-alkylés : Synthèse de F-alkyl β-dicétones

In contrast to aliphatic hydrocarbon-type nitriles, F-nitriles react with activated phosphorus ylides, to give the corresponding iminophosphoranes. When the F-alkyl group is a long chain (other than CF₃) they are easily hydrolysed in acidic media, and lead to the corresponding β-diketones in quantitative yields. More, this method shows an advantage in avoiding the intermediate formation of metallic chelates, from which it is necessary to isolate β-diketones obtained by the usual ways.     

Pyrrole β-amides: Synthesis and characterization of a dipyrrinone carboxylic acid and an N-Confused fluorescent dipyrrinone

Pyrrole β-amides are useful building blocks for the preparation of novel molecular architectures that can be used in supramolecular chemistry and sensor development. Under basic conditions, pyrrole β-amides with an α-aldehyde produce different condensation products when reacted with pyrrolinones depending on the amide substitution. Secondary amides form the expected dipyrrinones, but unexpectedly undergo a subsequent trans-amidation with the pyrrolinone nitrogen to produce an unsymmetrical imide (an N-confused fluorescent dipyrrinone). Under the same conditions, tertiary amides produce the expected dipyrrinone carboxylic acids, which have been shown to have strong self-association properties as determined by vapor pressure osmometry measurements, NMR studies, and X-ray crystal structure determination. Furthermore, an N-confused fluorescent dipyrrinone was produced from the same trans-amidation reaction during attempts to decarboxylate a dipyrrinone amide with a 9-carboxylic moiety.     

Conjugate addition of lithium N-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide: asymmetric synthesis of β-trisubstituted amino acids

Conjugate addition of the homochiral ammonia equivalent lithium N-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to a range of α,β-unsaturated esters gives the corresponding β-amino esters in moderate to good levels of diastereoselectivity. O-Desilylation and cyclisation furnishes homochiral isoxazolidin-5-ones in >99:1 dr after purification. Sequential alkylation of these templates proceeds to give the corresponding 3,4-anti-disubstituted and 3,4,4-trisubstituted derivatives as single diastereoisomers after purification. The first alkylation occurs with high levels of diastereoselectivity on the face of the enolate anti to the C(3)-substituent, whereas the facial selectivity of the second alkylation is governed by a chiral relay effect, which depends upon the relative steric bulk of both the C(3)- and C(4)-substituents. Subsequent hydrogenolysis promotes cleavage of both the N-α-methylbenzyl group and the N-O bond within the isoxazolidin-5-one ring in one pot to give the corresponding β^2,2,3-trisubstituted amino acids directly.
