Chemoselective amination of 5-bromo-2-chloro-3-fluoropyridine

The chemoselective functionalization of 5-bromo-2-chloro-3-fluoropyridine (1c) is described. Catalytic amination conditions (Pd2dba3, Xantphos, base) afford exclusively the bromide substitution product (2) for both secondary amines and primary anilines. A reversal in chemoselectivity is observed under neat conditions in the absence of palladium catalysis, with substitution at the 2-chloro position preferred to generate 3. Last, selective substitution of the 3-fluoro group is achieved under SNAr conditions to afford the dihalo adduct (4).     

Metal assisted synthesis of mono and diamino substituted pyridines

A microwave assisted Buchwald-Hartwig amination protocol is reported for a series of dihalopyridine precursors. Using this procedure, selective substitution of one halogen by aryl or alkylamines is possible in very short time, usually 30 min. Mild base (K₂CO₃) can be used successfully, which broadens the substrate scope. The second halogen can then be substituted using alkylamines under nucleophilic substitution condition or via a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The target compounds are potential inducers of cardiomyogenesis as innovative approach in regenerative medicine.

A highly efficient and practical route to 3-amino-4-sulfanylcoumarins from 3-bromo-4-tosyloxy-coumarins via substitution and palladium catalyzed amination reactions is described.     

Microwave-assisted amination of a chloropurine derivative in the synthesis of acyclic nucleoside analogues

An efficient protocol for the amination of 6-chloropurine derivatives through nucleophilic aromatic substitution under microwave irradiation was developed and applied to the synthesis in two steps of a series of new acyclic nucleosides (acyclovir analogues) starting from commercially available compounds.     

Intramolecular direct arylation in the synthesis of fluorinated carbazoles

The amination of 2-chloroanilines with aryl bromides and subsequent intramolecular direct arylation can be exploited in the synthesis of a range of fluorinated carbazoles, where the fluorine substituent can be introduced via the aniline, the aryl bromide or both substrates. Depending on substitution patterns, the two steps can either be performed in tandem in one-pot under microwave heating conditions or else require a two pot approach.     

Examination of the mechanism of the intramolecular amination of N-(3-bromopyridin-2-yl)azaheteroarylamines and N-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)azaheteroarylamines: a Pd-catalyzed amination and/or a base-assisted nucleophilic aromatic substitution?

The intramolecular amination of N-(3-bromopyridin-2-yl)azaheteroarylamines and N-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)azaheteroarylamines was investigated. In this way we unraveled the mechanism of the ring closure reaction in the auto-tandem amination (inter- and intramolecular Pd-catalyzed amination) of 2,3-dibromopyridine with amino(benzo)(di)azines and 2-chloro-3-iodopyridine with amino(benzo)(di)azines, respectively. Depending on the substrate a Pd-catalyzed amination, a base-assisted nucleophilic aromatic substitution or a combination of both is occurring. An explanation based on the aromaticity of the amidine, supported by theoretical calculations, is provided. In addition we gained evidence that the intramolecular metal-catalyzed amination of N-(3-bromopyridin-2-yl)azaheteroarylamines and N-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)azaheteroarylamines indeed involves a nitrogen atom that is not substituted with a hydrogen atom.     

Efficient recycling of a chiral palladium catalytic system for asymmetric allylic substitutions in ionic liquid

Chiral carbohydrate-based diphosphites were used for Pd-catalysed asymmetric allylic substitution (alkylation, amination, phosphination) in neat ionic liquids (ILs). Pyrrolidinium-based IL led to the best activities, allowing an efficient catalyst immobilization. In the allylic amination (TOF > 3100 h(-1)), the catalyst could be recycled nine times preserving both activity and enantioselectivity.     

Amination of quinolones with morpholine derivatives

The aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of 7-chloroquinolone carboxylic acid and its ethyl ester with cyclic amines under microwave irradiation conditions was investigated. ¹H NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the progress of the substitution reaction. The reaction proceeded in high yield with simple cyclic amines and was less efficient for sterically more demanding bimorpholine derivatives. A Pd-catalyzed amination of quinolone carboxylic acid ethyl ester with bimorpholine derivatives provided new C-7 bimorpholino-substituted quinolone derivatives.     

甲胺在择形分子筛催化剂上的选择性合成

考察了同晶置换改性丝光沸石和金属表面活性改性ＨＺＳＭ－５对甲醇胺化反应的催化性能，发现两种改性方法都可以降低三甲胺（ＴＭＡ）选择性，提高一甲胺（ＭＭＡ）与二甲胺（ＤＭＡ）的选择性，两种方法都是通过分子筛外表面改性以实现择形性调变的，同晶置换改性可使丝光沸石的强酸性发生显著变化，而强Ｂ酸中心是丝光沸石催化胺化反应的活性中心。     

Microwave assisted solvent free amination of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) without transition metal catalyst

A solvent free direct amination of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) has been developed in good to high yields under computer-controlled microwave irradiation without transition metal catalyst. This reaction is a solvent and metal free, useful method for coupling of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) with pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives by nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_NAr).     

Synthesis of halosulfuron-methyl via selective chlorination at 3- and/or 5-position of pyrazole-4-carboxylates

Reactions of methyl pyrazole-4-carboxylates 4b-d with N-chlorosuccinimide under heating conditions without a solvent gave methyl 3,5-dichloro-1-methylpyrazole-4-carboxylate 4a in good yields. The reaction of 4a with sodium hydrosulfide led to a nucleophilic substitution on the 5-position regioselectively to afford methyl 3-chloro-1-methyl-5-mercaptopyrazole-4-carboxylate 6a, which was followed by oxidative chlorination and amination to obtain 3-chloro-1-methyl-5-sulfamoylpyrazole-4-carboxylate 2a. Finally, the reaction of 2a with phenyl 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl carbamate 7 provided methyl 3-chloro-5-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoylsulfamoyl)-1-methylpyrazole-4-carboxylate (halosulfuron-methyl) 1a promising herbicide in com.     

Synthesis of 9-chloro-1,10-anthraquinone and its reactions with amines

1-Dichlorophosphoryloxy-9,9-dichloroanthrone, a product of the reaction between 1-hydroxyanthraquinone and PCl₅, reacts with primary amines in benzene to give first 1-(diaminophosphoryloxy)-9,9-dichloroanthrones and then the corresponding 9-imines. The reaction in DMF occurs with elimination of the phosphoryloxy group and generation of 9-chloro-1,10-anthraquinone that undergoes amination followed by substitution of the hydrogen atom in position 4 rather than a chlorine atom in position 9, which is the most active position in 2,4,9-trichloro-1,10-anthraquinone. The second step of amination results in 4,9-di(alkylamino)-1,10-anthraquinone. The literature data on obtaining individual 9-chloro-1,10-anthraquinone under the action of bases on 1-dichorophosphoryloxy-9,9-dichloroanthrone were not experimentally supported.     

Electrochemical Amination in the System Ti(IV)–NH2OH–C6H6: The Efficiency of the Process in a Sulfuric Acid Solution Containing an Organic Solvent

Electrolysis of the system Ti(IV)–NH₂OH–C₆H₆ in an 11 M H₂SO₄ solution shows that using an organic solvent (acetic acid, acetonitrile) during cathodically initiated amination of aromatic substrates permits the production of aromatic amines with the overall yield by hydroxylamine reaching 91%. Due to a chain mechanism of radical substitution, the benzene amination in electrolytes containing 5 M CH₃COOH and 5.5 M CH₃CN terminates largely upon consuming 70–75 and 50–55% of the charge required theoretically for a one-electron process. The maximum efficiency of electrochemical amination is observed at low hydroxylamine conversions and the overall current efficiency for mono- and disubstituted products of the benzene amination may exceed in these conditions 750%.     

Direct amination of 1-substituted 3,5-dinitrobenzenes by 1,1,1-trimethylhydrazinium iodide

The amination of 1-X-3,5-dinitrobenzenes via the vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS) with 1,1,1-trimethylhydrazinium iodide (TMHI) in the presence of t-BuOK or NaOMe in DMSO was studied. It was observed (when X = OMe, OCH(2)CF(3), OCH(2)CF(2)CF(2)H, OPh) that the amination occurs regioselectively (ratio of ortho/para-isomers is approximately 9:1) and with high yield. For X = SPh or SCH(2)Ph, the reaction proceeded with a low yield (less than 20%), with a ratio of ortho/para-isomers approximately 1:1. For X = PhSO(2) and 2 equiv of TMHI, a double amination occurs and 2,4-diamino-3,5-dinitro-1-phenylsulfonylbenzene predominates in the mixture of isomers. Under the same conditions, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene undergoes a double amination to yield 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. A proposed mechanism for this reaction is discussed.

The reaction of 2-aryl-1,1-dibromocyclopropanes with adduct NOCl·(SO₃) _n leading to 3-aryl-5-bromoisoxazoles as a result of nitrosation—heterocyclization of the cyclopropane ring was studied. The reaction is accompanied with electrophilic aromatic bromination. The mechanism of the transformation was discussed, the optimal reaction conditions to enhance the reaction selectivity were developed.     

Hartwig-Buchwald amination on solid supports: a novel access to a diverse set of 1H-benzotriazoles

Hartwig-Buchwald amination reactions of bromo- and chloroarenes were performed on solid supports with triazene-linked arenes. Immobilized 2-haloarenes were treated with diverse primary amines and anilines at 100 degrees C under palladium catalysis to yield N-substituted 2-aminoarenes. The latter were alternatively formed through reaction of bromo- and chloroarenes with immobilized primary 2-aminobenzenes. Subsequent acidic cleavage furnished 1H-benzotriazoles in high purities. The two described routes allow a broad range of the substitution pattern of N-substituted 1H-benzotriazoles.     

New reaction of benzo[b]thieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]thiophene disulfone

A new reaction of benzo[b]thieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]thiophene disulfone with amines that takes place with opening of one of the thiophene rings and nucleophilic substitution in the heteroaromatic ring at the site of cleavage of the S-C bond was observed. The molecular structures of the products of amination of the disulfone were determined by x-ray diffraction analysis. Hydrolysis and dehydration of the amination products gave derivatives of a new heterocyclic system, viz., benzo[b]-thieno[3,2-e]benzo[c]-1,2-oxathiin.

Radical-anions in the vicarious C-amination reactions of N-substituted nitrotriazoles

The vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in symmetrical and vicinal nitrotriazoles by 1,1,1-trimethylhydrazinium iodide in t-BuOK/DMSO was studied by ESR. In the ESR monitoring of the reactions the primary radical-anions of 4-nitro-2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole and 1-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole were detected and characterized. It was shown by NMR that the amination of 4-nitro-2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole takes place exclusively in the triazole ring with the formation of 5-amino-4-nitro-2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole. 1-Methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole, like 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole, does not form amination products. A possible mechanism for the vicarious C-amination of nitrotriazoles and the formation of the radical-anions of the substrates is discussed. Dedicated to Academician M. G. Voronkov on his 85th birthday. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1662–1670, November, 2006.     

异丁烯直接胺化合成叔丁胺反应的热力学研究

叔丁胺是一种重要的有机化工中间体,广泛应用于制备橡胶促进剂,医药,农药,着色剂等诸多下游产物.目前,叔丁胺主要的生产方法,如叔丁脲水解法,异丁烯-氢氰酸法(Ritter法),卤代烃胺化法等存在产品收率较低,涉及强酸/强碱的使用,对设备腐蚀和环境污染严重等问题.异丁烯直接胺化生产叔丁胺,原子利用率100%,是典型的绿色化学反应.20世纪末,BASF公司以β沸石为催化剂,率先实现了异丁烯胺化技术的工业应用.但是,其反应条件苛刻,压力达28 MPa,生产过程能耗大,对设备材质要求高.目前,关于异丁烯直接胺化的文献较少,且相关研究多在远离工业应用的常压条件下进行.同时,对于异丁烯直接胺化反应过程的热力学,特别是缓和反应条件下的热力学尚待进一步系统和深入地研究分析,以期指导低温低压条件下高性能胺化催化剂的研发和工艺条件优化.我们计算了473?573 K间,异丁烯胺化制备叔丁胺反应的ΔrH,ΔrG,Kp等热力学数据.在此基础上,分析了反应温度,压力和氨烯比(摩尔比)对异丁烯平衡转化率(叔丁胺选择性>99%,未予考虑)的影响.结果表明,异丁烯胺化是中等强度的放热反应,升高反应温度会急剧降低异丁烯的平衡转化率,如在5 MPa,氨烯比1的条件下,反应温度从473 K提高到573 K,异丁烯平衡转化率从40.6%降到6.9%.但从动力学角度而言,升温可提高胺化反应速率,因此在特定的反应条件下和催化剂上,必然存在最佳反应温度.提高反应压力和氨烯比有利于提高异丁烯的热力学平衡转化率.开发在低温和相对较低的压力下具有较高胺化活性的催化剂是提高该过程经济性和实用性的关键.在较缓和的反应条件下(523 K,5 MPa,氨烯比4及异丁烯空速0.5 h?1),考察了ZSM-5(R=50和R=412,R为硅铝比,下同),ZSM-11(R=48),MOR(R=10),SAPO-11(摩尔组成,1.6Al2O3:1.0SiO2:1.4P2O5)等不同拓扑结构分子筛以及氧化铝在异丁烯胺化反应中的性能.结果表明,空白试验中,无叔丁胺产物生成.在ZSM-11上的获得最高的异丁烯胺化转化率,为14.2%(达到平衡转化率的52.2%),在ZSM-5(R=50),ZSM-5(R=412)和MOR上,异丁烯转化率分别为13.9%,6.4%和2.9%,叔丁胺选择性均大于99.8%.而SAPO-11和氧化铝未呈现出胺化反应活性.关联氨气程序升温脱附,吡啶吸附红外表征结果及分子筛孔结构特点,表明分子筛胺化活性与其孔径及Br?nsted酸的酸量和酸强度密切相关.为了进一步验证实际反应体系中反应条件对异丁烯胺化反应过程的影响规律,我们在ZSM-11催化剂上,系统考察了反应温度,压力,氨烯比和异丁烯空速对催化剂胺化反应性能的影响及变化规律.结果表明,在其他条件不变的情况下,异丁烯转化率随着温度的升高呈现出先增大后减小的趋势.适当提高原料中氨烯比和反应压力,以及采用较低异丁烯空速有利于促进异丁烯的转化.上述规律与热力学计算结果呈现出较好的一致性.在ZSM-11催化剂上,异丁烯直接胺化反应的较佳反应条件为523 K,5 MPa,氨烯比4,异丁烯空速0.5 h?1.上述结果可为异丁烯直接胺化合成叔丁胺过程新型高效催化剂的研发和反应工艺条件优化提供参考和指导.     

Iron-catalyzed intramolecular allylic C-H amination

A highly selective C-H amination reaction under iron catalysis has been developed. This novel system, which employs an inexpensive, nontoxic [Fe(III)Pc] catalyst (typically used as an industrial ink additive), displays a strong preference for allylic C-H amination over aziridination and all other C-H bond types (i.e., allylic > benzylic > ethereal > 3° > 2° ? 1°). Moreover, in polyolefinic substrates, the site selectivity can be controlled by the electronic and steric character of the allylic C-H bond. Although this reaction is shown to proceed via a stepwise mechanism, the stereoretentive nature of C-H amination for 3° aliphatic C-H bonds suggests a very rapid radical rebound step.
