An efficient synthesis of α-hydroxyphosphonates and α-aminophosphonates in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane

Abstract

Solvent free, and quantitative yielding synthesis of α-hydroxyphosphonates (2a–h) from 2-chloroquinolin-3-carbaldehyde (1a–h) and α-aminophosphonates (4a–p) from imines (3a–p), obtained from 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde by using triethylphosphite in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane at room temperature in short time.     

TMSCl/Fe(NO3)3-Catalyzed Synthesis of 2-Arylbenzothiazoles and 2-Arylbenzimidazoles Under Ultrasonic Irradiation

A convenient one-pot cyclocondensation method for benzothiazole and benzimidazole syntheses is described. A set of benzothiazoles and benzimidazoles were readily prepared from aromatic ortho-diamines or ortho-aminothiophenol and aldehydes using chlorotrimethylsilane in dimethylformamide as promoter and water scavenger under ultrasonic irradiation in good yields (84–97%).     

Intramolecular cyclization and disilylation of 1,1-dicyano-2,2-diarylethenes promoted by samarium/TMSCl in DMF: a new approach to the syntheses of polysubstituted indenes

Promoted by samarium metal in DMF and in the presence of TMSCl, 1,1-diaryl-2,2-dicyanoethylenes undergo an unexpected kind of reductive cyclization, thus affording a new approach to the construction of indene core. Simultaneously, disilylation occurred at the amino moiety resulting from the reduction of the cyano group.     

TMSCl Promoted Direct sp3 C‐H Alkenylation to Construct (E)‐2‐Styryl‐tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazoles

A high‐efficient and stereo‐specific approach for the preparation of biologically important (E)‐2‐styryl‐tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazoles has been developed via TMSCl promoted direct sp³ C‐H alkenylation of 2‐methyl‐5,6‐dihydrobenzo[d]thiazol‐7(4H)‐one under metal‐free conditions. Seventeen target compounds were synthesized in excellent yields of 82% –98% under the optimal conditions of 300 mol% TMSCl at 110°C for 2 h, and their chemical structures were elucidated by IR, NMR, ESI‐MS, elemental analyses and X‐ray crystallography analysis. A plausible mechanism was also proposed, and this method provided a good functional group conversion for the sp³ C‐H substrates.     

A remarkably simple α-oximation of ketones to 1,2-dione monooximes using the chlorotrimethylsilane-isoamyl nitrite combination

Ketones undergo α-oximation by NOCl formed in situ from Me₃SiCl and isoamyl nitrite, either in solution or under solvent-free conditions, to produce 1,2-dione monooximes in excellent yields. The oximation is regiospecific in appropriate cases.     

Convenient one-pot synthesis of functionalized cyclopentene via Sm/TMSCI/t-BuOH system mediated hydrodimerization cyclization of gem-diactivated alkene

Functionalized cyclopentenes could be prepared through Sm/TMSCl/t-BuOH mediated hydrodimerization cyclization of gem-diactivated alkene in one-pot at room temperature. The trans- or trans, transform isomer is in the majority and the major product was isolated from its stereoisomers through the fractional crystallization method.     

Chemoselective Reduction of Azides to Amines Using Sm/TMSCl System in the Presence of Trace Amounts of Water

Samarium diiodide and organosamarium compounds have been widely employed as useful reagents in organic synthesis1. However, relatively few reports on the direct use of samarium metal in organic synthesis have been reported2, because the surface of samarium metal is inactive3. In order to improve the activity of samarium, some additives, such as HgCl24, NH4Cl (aq.)5, or TMSCl6 were added.The reduction of azides to the corresponding amines is an important reaction in organic synthesis7-16.

Acetyl Chloride-Methanol as a Convenient Reagent for: A) Quantitative Formation of Amine Hydrochlorides B) Carboxylate Ester Formation C) Mild Removal of N-t-Boc-Protective Group.

Hydrogen chloride qualitatively generated in situ by the addition of acetyl chloride to alcoholic solutions is a useful reagent for carboxylic acid esterification, N-t-Boc deprotection and phosphoramide solvolysis reactions.     

Multicomponent approach to unique 1,4-diazepine-2-amines

Isocyanide-based multicomponent reaction (IMCR) of 1,3-diaminopropane with carbonyl compounds has been developed as an efficient strategy for the synthesis of 1,4-diazepine-2-amines. Brønsted and Lewis acids are able to promote the reaction, and TMSCl has been found to be the most efficient among them. The IMCR is applicable to a variety of carbonyl compounds and isocyanides.
