Aryl C-N bond formation by electrophilic amination of diarylcadmium reagents with O-substituted ketoximes

Diorganocadmium reagents cannot react with ketoxime at room temperature. CuCN catalysis allows diarylcadmium reagents to react with ketoxime and to give corresponding arylamines in good to high yields at room temperature. According to the electronic effects of the substituent attached to the aromatic ring, functionalized diarylcadmium reagents show meta-para selectivity in their amination reactions. Also compared to diarylzinc reagents, diarylcadmium reagents react with O-substituted ketoxime under milder reaction conditions and they form corresponding arylamines in higher yields. CuCN cannot help dialkyl-, dicycloalky-, and dibenzylcadmium reagents to react with ketoxime. Our Aryl C-N bond formation method does not include cadmium excretion into the environment.     

Palladium-catalyzed C-N bond formation via direct C-H bond functionalization. Recent developments in heterocyclic synthesis

The formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds by reaction between a nitrogen atom and an unactivated carbon-hydrogen bond is a highly atom-economical process that attracted the attention of the chemists in the last two decades. The widely useful amination and hydroamination reactions, which furnish acyclic or cyclic products, give access to various nitrogen-containing basic and fine chemicals. This review highlights recent progress in the development of palladium-catalyzed reactions that occur by direct functionalization of simple carbon-hydrogen bonds to give heterocyclic products. Pd(0)- and Pd(II)-catalyzed reactions are described separately, emphasizing the different behavior of the metal in these two oxidation states.

Furthermore, the catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction mixture using a magnet and could be recycled several times without loss of catalytic activity.     

α-Aminoamides as ligands in Goldberg amidations

α-Aminoamides are shown to be useful as ligands in Goldberg amidations. A number of α-aminoamides are examined and the importance of substitution on the α-aminoamides is explored. Acetamide is focused on as the nucleophilic coupling partner due to its low cost, stability and convenience as a protecting group. The initial substrate scope for these catalysts is explored and includes electronically activated and deactivated aryl bromides, however o-substituted aryl bromides are problematic.     

Amide bond formation from selenocarboxylates and aromatic azides

A new method of amide bond formation was developed through the reaction of potassium selenocarboxylates with aromatic azides at room temperature. Potassium selenocarboxylates were prepared in situ by the treatment of diacyl selenides with potassium methoxide at 5 °C under N₂. After the addition of azide, the reaction was allowed to gradually warm to room temperature and was stirred for 0.5-2 h. Excellent yields were obtained when electron deficient aromatic azides were used.     

Amination and amidation of aryl iodides catalyzed by copper(I)-phenanthroline complexes

Four kinds of copper(I)-phenanthroline complexes ([Cu^I(phen)₂]Cl, [Cu^I(phen)Cl]₂, [Cu^I(phen)₂]BF₄, and Cu^I(phen)PPh₃Cl) were prepared and used as catalysts for amination and amidation of aryl iodide to investigate the influence on the yields of products due to differences of the structures. These complexes were found to work as catalysts on these reactions and showed that the differences of structures of copper(I) complexes significantly influenced the yield of aryl-nitrogen bond forming processes.     

Copper(II) Bromide–Catalyzed C-C/C-N Bond-Forming Reactions: Synthesis of Pyrrole-Incorporated Triarylmethanes

We have achieved a facile copper(II) bromide–catalyzed synthesis of 2,3,4-trisubtitued pyrrole incorporated into unsymmetrical triarylmethanes through direct replacement of hydroxyl group in the pyrrolyl phenyl methanol with electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. The newly developed method has been applied to a facile synthesis of a C2 symmetric bis-triarylmethane in which the two triarylmethanes were bridged through piperzine. The copper(II) bromide catalysis led to C-C bond formation at the C(5) position when the reacting partner was imidazole. In contrast, C-N bond formation took place with benzimdazole or 2-methylbenzimidazole.

The developed triethylphosphine-mediated transformation highlights the capability of organophosphorus compounds to carry out this useful deoxygenative transformation without the necessity of any transition metal additives.

PS-IIDQ: a supported coupling reagent for efficient and general amide bond formation

Polystyrene-IIDQ, a polymer-supported coupling reagent, was synthesized in three steps from Merrifield resin in 86% overall conversion. This reagent efficiently coupled carboxylic acids to amines in good yields and high purities, required no pre-activation step, and was tolerant of the order of reagent addition. PS-IIDQ was observed to be more efficient than polymer-supported carbodiimides (PS-EDC and PS-DCC) and gave higher yields than HATU for general amide bond formation, including the coupling of anilines and hindered substrates. When evaluated with five carboxylic acids and nine amines (including anilines and secondary amines) PS-IIDQ gave an average isolated yield of 73%.

In addition, the first example of a biaryl cross-coupling utilizing unactivated aryl fluorides under phosphine free palladium conditions is reported. Microwave technology allowed rapid optimization of catalyst systems, which identified several ligands for this cross-coupling reaction.
