Sustainable Aerobic Bromination with Controllable Chemoselectivity.

ABSTRACT: The formation of C-Br(s) is one of the most fundamental reactions in organic synthesis. Oxidative bromination is a "green" way to achieve it. Aerobic bromination has drawn great interest in the past decades, while the poor substrate scope and selectivity, low efficiency, and the use of metal catalyst still confine its application. In this article, we establish a transition-metal-free aerobic bromination promoted by ionic liquid in a catalytic amount with controllable chemoselectivity toward numbers of C-Br(s) formed, and both NaBr/AcOH and HBr(aq) could be used as the bromine source. This methodology shows high efficiency and has a broad substrate scope for various kinds of C-H(s). We also validate this system by the gram-scale (one-pot) synthesis of functional molecules and direct recycle of the catalyst. The possible radical pathway of this catalysis is also presented with evidence.

Synthetic C6-Functionalized Aminoflavin Catalysts Enable Aerobic Bromination of Oxidation-Prone Substrates.

Project description:Flavoenzymes catalyze oxidations via hydroperoxide intermediates that result from activation of molecular O2 . These reactions-such as hydroxylation and halogenation-depend on the additional catalytic activity of functional groups in the peptide environment of the flavin cofactor. We report synthetic flavin catalysts that contain C6 amino modifications at the isoalloxazine core and are consequently capable of mediating halogenations outside the peptide surrounding. The catalysts are competent in the selective, biomimetic bromination of oxidation-prone phenols, flavones, and flavanones using a halide salt in combination with 2,6-lutidinium oxalate as a flavin reductant under visible-light irradiation. Our studies show the beneficial effect of stacked bisflavins as well as the catalytic activity of the flavin modifications. The designed flavin catalysts outperform isolated natural (-)-riboflavin and contribute to the continuing search for tailored flavins in oxidation reactions.

Aerobic dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone to cyclohexenone catalyzed by Pd(DMSO)2(TFA)2: evidence for ligand-controlled chemoselectivity.

Project description:The dehydrogenation of cyclohexanones affords cyclohexenones or phenols via removal of 1 or 2 equiv of H2, respectively. We recently reported several Pd(II) catalyst systems that effect aerobic dehydrogenation of cyclohexanones with different product selectivities. Pd(DMSO)2(TFA)2 is unique in its high chemoselectivity for the conversion of cyclohexanones to cyclohexenones, without promoting subsequent dehydrogenation of cyclohexenones to phenols. Kinetic and mechanistic studies of these reactions reveal the key role of the dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) ligand in controlling this chemoselectivity. DMSO has minimal kinetic influence on the rate of Pd(TFA)2-catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone to cyclohexenone, while it strongly inhibits the second dehydrogenation step, conversion of cyclohexenone to phenol. These contrasting kinetic effects of DMSO provide the basis for chemoselective formation of cyclohexenones.

Electrophilic Bromination in Flow: A Safe and Sustainable Alternative to the Use of Molecular Bromine in Batch.

Project description:Bromination reactions are crucial in today's chemical industry since the versatility of the formed organobromides makes them suitable building blocks for numerous syntheses. However, the use of the toxic and highly reactive molecular bromine (Br2) makes these brominations very challenging and hazardous. We describe here a safe and straightforward protocol for bromination in continuous flow. The hazardous Br2 or KOBr is generated in situ by reacting an oxidant (NaOCl) with HBr or KBr, respectively, which is directly coupled to the bromination reaction and a quench of residual bromine. This protocol was demonstrated by polybrominating both alkenes and aromatic substrates in a wide variety of solvents, with yields ranging from 78% to 99%. The protocol can easily be adapted for the bromination of other substrates in an academic and industrial environment.

Electrochemical Bromination of Glycals.

Project description:Herein, the convenient one-step electrochemical bromination of glycals using Bu4NBr as the brominating source under metal-catalyst-free and oxidant-free reaction conditions was described. A series of 2-bromoglycals bearing different electron-withdrawing or electron-donating protective groups were successfully synthesized in moderate to excellent yields. The coupling of tri-O-benzyl-2-bromogalactal with phenylacetylene, potassium phenyltrifluoroborate, or a 6-OH acceptor was achieved to afford 2C-branched carbohydrates and disaccharides via Sonogashira coupling, Suzuki coupling, and Ferrier rearrangement reactions with high efficiency. The radical trapping and cyclic voltammetry experiments indicated that bromine radicals may be involved in the reaction process.

High chemoselectivity in the phenol synthesis.

Project description:Efforts to trap early intermediates of the gold-catalyzed phenol synthesis failed. Neither inter- nor intramolecularly offered vinyl groups, ketones or alcohols were able to intercept the gold carbenoid species. This indicates that the competing steps of the gold-catalyzed phenol synthesis are much faster than the steps of the interception reaction. In the latter the barrier of activation is higher. At the same time this explains the high tolerance of this very efficient and general reaction towards functional groups.

A Ru-Based Complex for Sustainable One-Pot Tandem Aerobic Oxidation-Knoevenagel Condensation Reactions.

Project description:Our novel binuclear complex-anchored Ru(III) catalyst, designed and assembled by sonicating 2,2'-(4,6-dihydroxy-1,3-phenylene)bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carboxylic acid), Ru(DMSO)4Cl2 and 4-methylpyridine, demonstrates remarkable efficiency and selectivity. It promotes one-pot reactions, including active methylenes and benzyl alcohols in water, via a tandem aerobic oxidation/Knoevenagel condensation process, yielding benzylidene malononitrile in excellent yields. The catalyst's ability to oxidize benzyl alcohols to aldehydes, which then undergo Knoevenagel condensation with active methylenes, makes it a multifunctional catalyst. Notably, the catalyst can be successfully retrieved and recycled for five successive rounds with no significant decrease in catalytic efficiency. The ICP study showed that no catalyst leaching was observed, indicating that the designed catalyst is indeed heterogeneous. The Ru catalyst outperformed other documented catalysts in terms of lower dose, shorter duration, decreased working temperature, and the absence of dangerous additives. This demonstrates the catalyst's robustness and sustainability, making it a promising candidate for future organic conversions and industrial uses.

Algae-mediated copper nanocatalyst for aerobic oxidation and dye decolourization via sustainable wastewater treatment.

Project description:In recent years, several physicochemical methods have been proposed for decolourising textile dyes; however, few have been adopted by the textile industry because of factors such as high cost, low efficiency, and limited applicability to a wide range of dyes. The current study focuses on synthesising algae-mediated Cu and CuO nanocatalysts (Alg-Cu and Alg-CuO) using natural waste materials from green algae. The synthesised Alg-CuO nanocatalyst was characterised and confirmed using SEM, TEM, UV, FT-IR, XRD, XPS, GC-MS, and TGA. An innovative and efficient technique for decolourising dyes through aerobic oxidation was implemented in industrial wastewater treatment. Various hydroxylamine substrates were successfully transformed into the desired aldehydes using an Alg-CuO nanocatalyst. In the process of aerobic oxidation, 2-(2-amino-ethyl)-aminoethanol can be converted into 2-(2-amino-ethyl)acetaldehyde, resulting in 96% product conversion within 4 min. In addition, the synthesised Alg-CuO nanocatalyst was used to investigate the dye decolourisation process using CBB G250 dye. The Alg-CuO nanocatalyst exhibited excellent decolourisation properties; for 20 min, 85% decolourisation of the CBB G250 dye was achieved. As a result, green synthesis is a viable medium for producing Alg-CuO nanocatalysts with high bond energies for dye decolourisation. Finally, the dye and Alg-CuO nanocatalyst was separated and reused for the following process. This method has been used for industrial wastewater treatment.

Site-selective bromination of vancomycin.

Project description:We report the site-selective bromination of vancomycin to produce, with substantial efficiency, previously unknown monobromovancomycins, a dibromovancomycin, and a tribromovancomycin. We document the inherent reactivity of native vancomycin toward N-bromophthalimide. We then demonstrate significant rate acceleration and perturbation of the inherent product distribution in the presence of a rationally designed peptide-based promoter. Alternative site selectivity is observed as a function of solvent and replacement of the peptide with guanidine.

Application of Iodine as a Catalyst in Aerobic Oxidations: A Sustainable Approach for Thiol Oxidations.

Project description:Iodine is a well-known oxidant that is widely used in organic syntheses. Thiol oxidation by stoichiometric iodine is one of the most commonly employed strategies for the synthesis of valuable disulfides. While recent advancements in catalytic aerobic oxidation conditions have eliminated the need for stoichiometric oxidants, concerns persist regarding the use of toxic or expensive catalysts. In this study, we discovered that iodine can be used as a cheap, low-toxicity catalyst in the aerobic oxidation of thiols. In the catalytic cycle, iodine can be regenerated via HI oxidation by O2 at 70 °C in EtOAc. This protocol harnesses sustainable oxygen as the terminal oxidant, enabling the conversion of primary and secondary thiols with remarkable efficiency. Notably, all 26 tested thiols, encompassing various sensitive functional groups, were successfully converted into their corresponding disulfides with yields ranging from >66% to 98% at a catalyst loading of 5 mol%.

Ultrafast amidation of esters using lithium amides under aerobic ambient temperature conditions in sustainable solvents.

Project description:Lithium amides constitute one of the most commonly used classes of reagents in synthetic chemistry. However, despite having many applications, their use is handicapped by the requirement of low temperatures, in order to control their reactivity, as well as the need for dry organic solvents and protective inert atmosphere protocols to prevent their fast decomposition. Advancing the development of air- and moisture-compatible polar organometallic chemistry, the chemoselective and ultrafast amidation of esters mediated by lithium amides is reported. Establishing a novel sustainable access to carboxamides, this has been accomplished via direct C-O bond cleavage of a range of esters using glycerol or 2-MeTHF as a solvent, in air. High yields and good selectivity are observed while operating at ambient temperature, without the need for transition-metal mediation, and the protocol extends to transamidation processes. Pre-coordination of the organic substrate to the reactive lithium amide as a key step in the amidation processes has been assessed, enabling the structural elucidation of the coordination adduct [{Li(NPh2)(O[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh(NMe2))}2] (8) when toluene is employed as a solvent. No evidence for formation of a complex of this type has been found when using donor THF as a solvent. Structural and spectroscopic insights into the constitution of selected lithium amides in 2-MeTHF are provided that support the involvement of small kinetically activated aggregates that can react rapidly with the organic substrates, favouring the C-O bond cleavage/C-N bond formation processes over competing hydrolysis/degradation of the lithium amides by moisture or air.
