Palladium(0)/PAr3-Catalyzed Intermolecular Amination of C(sp3)H Bonds: Synthesis of β-Amino Acids

by Jian He, Toshihiko Shigenari, Jin-Quan Yu

Abstract

An intermolecular C(sp3)[BOND]H amination using a Pd0/PAr3 catalyst was developed. The reaction begins with oxidative addition of R2N[BOND]OBz to a Pd0/PAr3 catalyst and subsequent cleavage of a C(sp3)[BOND]H bond by the generated Pd[BOND]NR2 intermediate. The catalytic cycle proceeds without the need for external oxidants in a similar manner to the extensively studied palladium(0)-catalyzed C[BOND]H arylation reactions. The electron-deficient triarylphosphine ligand is crucial for this C(sp3)[BOND]H amination reaction to occur.

Palladium-Catalyzed One-Pot Sonogashira Coupling, exo-dig Cyclization and Hydride Transfer Reaction: Synthesis of Pyridine-Substituted Pyrroles

by Kommuri Shekarrao, Partha Pratim Kaishap, Sanjib Gogoi, Romesh C. Boruah

Abstract

An efficient palladium(II)-catalyzed method for the synthesis of alkylated pyridine-substituted pyrroles has been developed by a one-pot three component reaction of β-bromovinyl aldehydes, primary amines and 2-alkynylpyridines in good yields. The reactions can also provide an efficient route to 2-picolinoylpyrroles by slightly altering the reaction conditions.

LP99: Discovery and Synthesis of the First Selective BRD7/9 Bromodomain Inhibitor

LP99: Discovery and Synthesis of the First Selective BRD7/9 Bromodomain Inhibitor

BRD7 and BRD9 are bromodomain proteins and part of some chromatin-remodeling complexes. A fragment lead was rapidly optimized through structure-based design and exploitation of a stereoselective nitro-Mannich/lactamization cascade process to give the first potent and selective BRD7/9 inhibitor, LP99. Treatment with LP99 led to displacement of BRD7 and BRD9 from chromatin and down-regulation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6.

Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reductive Heck Reaction of Aryl Halides

by Guizhou Yue, Kaining Lei, Hajime Hirao, Jianrong (Steve) Zhou

Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reductive Heck Reaction of Aryl Halides

Hydrogen-bond donors promote halide dissociation from neutral arylpalladium halides to access an enantioselective cationic pathway. The use of trialkylammonium salts in a glycol solvent enables asymmetric reductive Heck reaction of aryl halides in high stereoselectivity.

A Highly Efficient Gold-Catalyzed Photoredox α-C(sp3)-H Alkynylation of Tertiary Aliphatic Amines with Sunlight

by Jin Xie, Shuai Shi, Tuo Zhang, Nina Mehrkens, Matthias Rudolph, A. Stephen K. Hashmi

A Highly Efficient Gold-Catalyzed Photoredox α-C(sp3)-H Alkynylation of Tertiary Aliphatic Amines with Sunlight

Golden sunshine: With 1-iodoalkynes as radical alkynylation reagents, unactivated tertiary aliphatic amines react in the presence of [Au2(μ-dppm)2]2+ (dppm=bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane) in sunlight to afford propargylamines. A C-C coupling of an α-aminoalkyl radical and an alkynyl radical was proposed as the mechanism.

1+1=3: By combining the exceptional reactivities of cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents and iron catalysts, Sharma and Hartwig achieved the azidation of C-H bonds with unprecedented efficiency and selectivity. The late-stage introduction of azides into complex bioactive molecules will greatly facilitate the synthesis of analogues and accelerate the discovery of new chemical entities.
