One-Pot Substitution of Aliphatic Alcohols Mediated by Sulfuryl Fluoride

The Mitsunobu reaction is a powerful transformation for the one-pot activation and substitution of aliphatic alcohols. Significant efforts have focused on modifying the classic conditions to overcome problems associated with purification from phosphine-based byproducts. Herein, we report a phosphine free method for alcohol activation and substitution that is mediated by sulfuryl fluoride. This new method is effective for a wide range of primary alcohols using phthalimide, di-tert-butyl-iminodicarboxylate, and aromatic thiol nucleophiles in 74 % average yield. Activated carbon nucleophiles and a deactivated phenol were also effective for this reaction in good yields. Secondary alcohols were also successful substrates using aryl thiols, affording the corresponding sulfides in 56 % average yield with enantiomeric ratios up to 99:1. This new protocol has a distinct synthetic advantage over many existing phosphine-based methods as the byproducts are readily separable. This feature was exploited in several examples that did not require chromatography for purification. Furthermore, the mild reaction conditions enabled further in situ derivatization for the one-pot conversion of alcohols to amines or sulfones. This method also provides a boarder nucleophile scope compared to existing phosphine-free methods.

Sulfuryl Fluoride Mediated Conversion of Aldehydes to Nitriles

Aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic aldehydes were readily converted to corresponding nitriles in a one-pot reaction sequence with hydroxylamine and sulfuryl fluoride. The reaction proceeds at room temperature, does not require metal catalysts and special precautions, and produces nitriles in excellent yields. It is compatible with a variety of functional groups, can be performed in aqueous and organic solvents, and is readily scalable to multigram quantities. Mild conditions and high selectivity of the reaction enabled the construction of polyfunctional probes containing nitrile, alkyne, azide, and fluorosulfate groups for further orthogonal derivatization.

Straightforward Synthesis of 1,2‐Dicyanoalkanes from Nitroalkenes and Silyl Cyanide Mediated by Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride

A straightforward synthesis of 1,2‐dicyanoalkanes by reacting nitroalkenes with trimethylsilyl cyanide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride is described. The reaction proceeds through a tandem double Michael addition under mild conditions. Employing the hypervalent silicate generated from trimethylsilyl cyanide and tetrabutylammonium fluoride is essential for achieving this transformation. Mechanistic studies suggest that a small amount of water included in the reaction media plays a key role. This protocol is applicable to various types of substrates including electron‐rich and electron‐deficient aromatic nitroalkenes, and aliphatic nitroalkenes. Moreover, vinyl sulfones were found to be good alternatives, particularly for electron‐deficient nitroalkenes. The broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance of the reaction makes this approach a practical method for the synthesis of valuable 1,2‐dicyanoalkanes.     

A Novel Method for Beckmann Rearrangement of Oximes with Silica Sulfuric Acid under Mild Condition

The conversion of ketoxime into corresponding amide, known as the Beckmann rearrangement, is a common method used in organic chemistry and is also a topic of current interest. It accomplishes both the cleavage of carbon-carbon bond and the formation of a carbon-nitrogen bond, and represents a powerful method particularly for manufacture ε-caprolactam in chemical industry. This reaction, however, generally requires high reaction temperature, strong Br?nsted acid and dehydrating media, causing …     

A Simple and Highly Efficient One-Pot Procedure for the Synthesis of Amides via Beckmann Rearrangements Using 1-Tosylimidazole (TsIm)

A facile and highly efficient method for one-pot Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes into N-substituted amides using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this method, ketoximes are refluxed with TsIm and Cs₂CO₃ in the presence of SiO₂ as a recyclable catalyst in DMF affording the corresponding amides in high yields.

Various ketoximes were transformed into the corresponding 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles with exclusive trans-group migration and no E-Z isomerization of the ketoxime. This method enables the preparation of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles without using toxic or explosive azidation reagents.

B2O3/ZrO2催化剂稳定性和再生性能的研究

以气相环己酮肟重排反应合成己内酰胺是多相催化研究领域的重要课题之一[1,2]. 本研究小组曾首次报道了B2O3/ZrO2催化剂对该反应表现出较高的活性和己内酰胺选择性,但是该催化剂的稳定性和再生性能较差[3,4]. 而通过对催化剂的组成和结构与己内酰胺产率关系的研究表明,当B2O3在ZrO2载体(60 m2/g)表面平均形成约两个单层厚度的B2O3表面相时催化剂性能最好[2],这预示着增加ZrO2载体的比表面积可望改善B2O3/ZrO2催化剂的性能. 采用常规方法制备的ZrO(OH)2经600 ℃焙烧后所得ZrO2的比表面积一般不超过60 m2/g. 本文以蒸煮回流ZrO(OH)2水凝胶的方法制备了高比表面积的ZrO2,并考察了以其为载体的B2O3/ZrO2催化剂对气相环己酮肟重排反应的催化性能.     

Perfluoroalkylsulfonyl fluoride-mediated abnormal Beckmann rearrangement of steroid 17-oximes with acid-labile groups

A perfluoroalkylsulfonyl fluoride-mediated abnormal Beckmann rearrangement is reported which transforms steroid 17-oximes to the corresponding alkene nitriles regioselectively in good yields. This reaction is rapid (completes in 25 min), mild (proceeds at room temperature) and, most importantly, tolerates various acid-labile functional groups, such as methoxymethyl (MOM), ketal, and methyl enol ether, providing access to molecules that would be difficult to synthesize using existing methods.
