Use of functionalized aromatic organozinc reagents in the three-component Mannich-type synthesis of diarylmethylamines

Efficient syntheses of functionalized diarylmethylamines have been realized according to a one-step three-component coupling between an aromatic aldehyde, a secondary amine and an aromatic organozinc reagent. Phenyl rings can be substituted by functional groups and either aromatic or non-aromatic amines can be used in this process.     

One-step three-component coupling of aromatic organozinc reagents, secondary amines, and aromatic aldehydes into functionalized diarylmethylamines

Numerous functionalized diarylmethylamines have been synthesized in high yield according to a one-step three-component coupling between an aromatic organozinc reagent, a secondary amine, and an aromatic aldehyde. Both organozinc species and aldehyde can bear a functional group and either aromatic or non-aromatic amines can be used in this versatile procedure.     

Scandium Triflate–Promoted Addition of Organozinc Reagents to Benzaldiminetricarbonylchromium Derivatives

The reaction of benzaldiminetricarbonylchromium derivatives with organozinc reagents in the presence of scandium triflate afforded a single diastereomer of the corresponding amine complex exclusively. Even in the case of benzaldiminetricarbonylchromium having an m‐substituent of the aromatic ring, one diastereomer was obtained using the o‐TMS‐protected chromium complex. The TMS group and the chromium moiety were easily removed and the benzyl group was deprotected using HOOH and Pd to afford the corresponding amine.     

Synthesis of aromatic polymers via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with magnesium,zinc, and tin reagents: A comparison

Difunctional magnesium, zinc, and tin reagents M?C₆H₄?O?C₆H₄?M (M = MgBr, ZnCl, SnBu₃) in the presence of palladium or nickel catalysts undergo cross-coupling polymerizations with aromatic, heteroaromatic, benzylic, and allylic dihalides to give oligomeric and polymeric materials. Tin reagents lead to products of higher molecular weight than Mg and Zn reagents. The reaction is sensitive to the solvent and enhanced by magnesium halides. Increased reaction temperatures lead only to moderate increases in the degree of polymerization and are limited by catalyst decomposition above 200°C. The new poly(ether ketone) and poly(ether sulfone) type polymers prepared show high thermal stability. In contrast to conventional poly(ether sulfones)s, the biphenyl-based sulfone polymers reported here are crystalline. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Arylation of diversely substituted hydrazines by tri- and pentavalent organobismuth reagents

Various hydrazine derivatives were studied with respect to arylation by triarylbismuthane and triarylbismuth diacetate reagents with emphasis on scope and limitations. Among these reagents, a few contained bulky substituents in their aromatic rings. The applied substrates spanned a range from simple hydrazides to triply protected hydrazines and included a large number of intermediates of principal synthetic interest. In the case of mono- and disubstituted hydrazines the results demonstrate apparent advantages of pentavalent over trivalent reagents, exemplified by fast, highly chemoselective monoarylation of acylhydrazines at the terminal nitrogen. In contrast, trisubstituted hydrazines are more efficiently substituted by trivalent reagents. With these substrates, a strong influence of steric factors was occasionally observed, as reflected in lower yields and even complete reaction inhibition. The introduction of two different aromatic substituents into disubstituted hydrazines using step-by-step or one-pot procedures was accomplished.

Reactions of 1,4-dilithiobutadienes with isothiocyanates: preparation of iminocyclopentadiene derivatives via cleavage of the CS double bond of a RNCS molecule

Reaction patterns of 1,4-dilithio-butadiene derivatives with isothiocyanates RNCS and isocyanates RNCO were investigated and synthetically useful preparative methods were developed. Isothiocyanates reacted with 1,4-dilithio-butadienes to afford iminocyclopentadiene derivatives in excellent isolated yields and high selectivity. When aromatic isothiocyanates were used, cleavage of the CS double bond of a RNCS molecule took place via a successive inter-intramolecular carbophilic addition. A number of products were obtained from the reaction of isocyanates with 1,4-dilithio-butadienes, probably due to the high reactivity of isocyanates towards 1,4-dilithio-butadienes.     

One-pot synthesis of aromatic homoallylic alcohols from aldehydes and Grignard reagents promoted by Titanium(IV) tetraisopropanolate

An efficient method of Titanium(IV) mediated one-pot reaction approaching aromatic homoallylic alcohols from aldehydes and dual Grignard reagents was developed with good isolated yields. This method could use aromatic-, heteroaromatic-, or aliphatic-aldehydes as starting materials. However, electron-riched benzaldehyde or cinnamaldehyde tended to precede further hydroxyl eliminations to give all conjugated structures as demonstrated.     

Remarkable reactivity of pyridinium chlorochromate adsorbed on neutral alumina under solvent-free conditions

Pyridinium chlorochromate adsorbed on neutral alumina (PCC-Al₂O₃) under solvent-free conditions has been found to oxidize primary aliphatic alcohols to alkyl alkanoates whereas primary benzylic and primary allylic alcohols produce the corresponding aldehydes. Secondary aliphatic and aromatic alcohols produce ketones without isomerization and polymerization of double bonds, overoxidation and other side-reactions.     

Direct Transformation of Esters into Arenes with 1,5‐Bifunctional Organomagnesium Reagents

A direct transformation of carboxylic acid esters into arenes with 1,5‐bifunctional organomagnesium reagents is described.

Synthesis of Trisubstituted Ureas by a Multistep Sequence Utilizing Recyclable Magnetic Reagents and Scavengers

Unprecedented magnetic borohydride exchange (mBER), magnetic Wang aldehyde (mWang) and magnetic amine resins were prepared from highly magnetic polymer‐coated cobalt or iron nanoparticles. Microwave irradiation was used to obtain excellent degrees of functionalization (>95 %) and loadings (up to 3.0 mmol g^?1) in short reaction times of 15 min or less. A small library of ureas and thioureas was synthesized by the exclusive application of these magnetic resins. As a first step, a reductive amination of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes was carried out with mBER. The excess of primary amine needed to complete the reaction was subsequently scavenged selectively by mWang. Simple magnetic decantation from the resins resulted in secondary amines in good to excellent yields and purities. The used magnetic resins were efficiently regenerated and reused for the next run. In a second step, the secondary amines were converted to trisubstituted (thio)ureas in excellent yields and purities by stirring with an excess of iso(thio)cyanate, which was scavenged by addition of the magnetic amine resin after completion of the reaction. The whole reaction sequence is carried out without any purification apart from magnetic decantation; moreover, conventional magnetic stirring can be used as opposed to the vortexing required for polystyrene resins.

Cobalt-catalyzed homo-coupling of aryl and alkenyl bromide using atmospheric oxygen as oxidant

An efficient procedure for the synthesis of symmetric biphenyl and olefinic compounds was reported by cobalt-catalyzed direct homo-coupling reaction of aryl and alkenyl bromide in the presence of metallic magnesium using atmospheric oxygen as the oxidant. All tested aromatic bromides could give corresponding biaryls in good yields (up to 85%). Moreover, under the same conditions, β-bromostyrene could also afford the corresponding conjugated dienes in moderate yields, and the coupling is highly stereoselective to give trans-products. This mild and practicable method opened a new way to the preparation of symmetric biaryls and conjugated dienes.     

Synthesis of 1,5-bifunctional organolithium reagents by a double directed ortho-metalation: Direct transformation of esters into 1,8-dimethoxy-acridinium salts

The impact of electronic and steric factors on the selectivity of the electrophilic aromatic substitution amounts to several limitations in accessing specific substitution patterns. Nucleophiles generated by directed metalation represent an effective alternative for the preparation of various distinctly substituted arenes and heterocyclic scaffolds to overcome these restraints. Herein, we report the direct synthesis of specifically substituted heterocyclic fluorophores from esters by the addition of 1,5-bifunctional organometallic reagents from a double directed ortho-metalation (dDoM). Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)amines were efficiently dilithiated and employed for the synthesis of 1,8-dimethoxy-acridinium salts with distinct photophysical and electrochemical properties. The individual reduction potentials, the water-solubility and the brightness of these new dyes promise different applications in catalysis, imaging and materials science.
