Alkylation of Nitropyridines via Vicarious Nucleophilic Substitution.

ABSTRACT: Electrophilic nitropyridines react with sulfonyl-stabilized carbanions to give products of C-H alkylation via vicarious nucleophilic substitution. The process consists of formation of the Meisenheimer-type adduct followed by base-induced β-elimination of the sulfinic acid (e.g., PhSO₂H). Mechanistic studies reveal that in the latter step alkyl substituent and adjacent nitro group tend to planarize for effective stabilization of benzyl anion, and thus, adduct of hindered isopropyl carbanion remains stable toward elimination for steric reasons.

Direct Amination of Cobaltocenium Hexafluoridophosphate via Vicarious Nucleophilic Substitution.

Project description:In this communication we report a convenient, as short as possible synthesis of aminocobaltocenium hexafluoridophosphate, a very useful compound for further functionalization in cobaltocenium chemistry. Via vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen of cobaltocenium hexafluoridophosphate with 1,1,1-trimethylhydrazinium iodide as nucleophile bearing its own leaving group, a one-step amination of cobaltocenium in 50% isolated yield is possible, a major improvement over the standard multistep procedure involving common Curtius rearrangement chemistry.

Mechanochemical Nucleophilic Substitution of Alcohols via Isouronium Intermediates.

Project description:An expansion of the solvent-free synthetic toolbox is essential for advances in the sustainable chemical industry. Mechanochemical reactions offer a superior safety profile and reduced amount of waste compared to conventional solvent-based synthesis. Herein a new mechanochemical method was developed for nucleophilic substitution of alcohols using fluoro-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylformamidinium hexafluorophosphate (TFFH) and K2 HPO4 as an alcohol-activating reagent and a base, respectively. Alcohol activation and reaction with a nucleophile were performed in one milling jar via reactive isouronium intermediates. Nucleophilic substitution with amines afforded alkylated amines in 31-91 % yields. The complete stereoinversion occurred for the SN 2 reaction of (R)- and (S)-ethyl lactates. Substitution with halide anions (F- , Br- , I- ) and oxygen-centered (CH3 OH, PhO- ) nucleophiles was also tested. Application of the method to the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been demonstrated.

Enantioconvergent nucleophilic substitution via synergistic phase-transfer catalysis.

Project description:Catalytic enantioconvergent nucleophilic substitution reactions of alkyl halides are highly valuable transformations, but they are notoriously difficult to implement. Specifically, nucleophilic fluorination is a renowned challenge, especially when inexpensive alkali metal fluorides are used as fluorinating reagents due to their low solubility, high hygroscopicity and Brønsted basicity. Here we report a solution by developing the concept of synergistic hydrogen bonding phase-transfer catalysis. Key to our strategy is the combination of a chiral bis-urea hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and an onium salt-two phase-transfer catalysts essential for the solubilization of potassium fluoride-as a well-characterized ternary HBD-onium fluoride complex. Mechanistic investigations indicate that this chiral ternary complex is capable of enantiodiscrimination of racemic benzylic bromides and α-bromoketones, and upon fluoride delivery affords fluorinated products in high yields and enantioselectivities. This work provides a foundation for enantioconvergent fluorination chemistry enabled through the combination of a HBD catalyst with a co-catalyst specifically curated to meet the requirement of the electrophile.

Quaternary stereocentres via catalytic enantioconvergent nucleophilic substitution reactions of tertiary alkyl halides.

Project description:The development of efficient methods, particularly catalytic and enantioselective processes, for the construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocentres is an important (and difficult) challenge in organic synthesis due to the occurrence of this motif in a range of bioactive molecules. One conceptually straightforward and potentially versatile approach is the catalytic enantioconvergent substitution reaction of a readily available racemic tertiary alkyl electrophile by an organometallic nucleophile; however, examples of such processes are rare. Here we demonstrate that a nickel-based chiral catalyst achieves enantioconvergent couplings of a variety of tertiary electrophiles (cyclic and acyclic α-halocarbonyl compounds) with alkenylmetal nucleophiles to form quaternary stereocentres with good yield and enantioselectivity under mild conditions in the presence of a range of functional groups. These couplings, which probably proceed via a radical pathway, provide access to an array of useful families of organic compounds, including intermediates in the total synthesis of two natural products, (-)-eburnamonine and madindoline A.

Dynamic Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution of Tetrazines.

Project description:A dynamic nucleophilic aromatic substitution of tetrazines (SN Tz) is presented herein. It combines all the advantages of dynamic covalent chemistry with the versatility of the tetrazine moiety. Indeed, libraries of compounds or sophisticated molecular structures can be easily obtained, which are susceptible to post-functionalization by inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction, which also locks the exchange. Additionally, the structures obtained can be disassembled upon the application of the right stimulus, either UV irradiation or a suitable chemical reagent. Moreover, SN Tz is compatible with the imine chemistry of anilines. The high potential of this methodology has been proved by building two responsive supramolecular systems: A macrocycle that displays a light-induced release of acetylcholine; and a truncated [4+6] tetrahedral shape-persistent fluorescent cage, which is disassembled by thiols unless it is post-stabilized by IEDDA.

Reduced Reactivity of Amines against Nucleophilic Substitution via Reversible Reaction with Carbon Dioxide.

Project description:The reversible reaction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) with primary amines to form alkyl-ammonium carbamates is demonstrated in this work to reduce amine reactivity against nucleophilic substitution reactions with benzophenone and phenyl isocyanate. The reversible formation of carbamates has been recently exploited for a number of unique applications including the formation of reversible ionic liquids and surfactants. For these applications, reduced reactivity of the carbamate is imperative, particularly for applications in reactions and separations. In this work, carbamate formation resulted in a 67% reduction in yield for urea synthesis and 55% reduction for imine synthesis. Furthermore, the amine reactivity can be recovered upon reversal of the carbamate reaction, demonstrating reversibility. The strong nucleophilic properties of amines often require protection/de-protection schemes during bi-functional coupling reactions. This typically requires three separate reaction steps to achieve a single transformation, which is the motivation behind Green Chemistry Principle #8: Reduce Derivatives. Based upon the reduced reactivity, there is potential to employ the reversible carbamate reaction as an alternative method for amine protection in the presence of competing reactions. For the context of this work, CO₂ is envisioned as a green protecting agent to suppress formation of n-phenyl benzophenoneimine and various n-phenyl-n-alky ureas.

Gas-Phase Covalent Bond Formation via Nucleophilic Substitution: A Dissociation Kinetics Study of Leaving Groups, Isomeric R Groups, and Nucleophilic Sites.

Project description:Nucleophilic substitution covalent modification ion/ion reactions were carried out in a linear quadrupole ion trap between the doubly protonated peptides KGAILKGAILR, RARARAA, and RKRARAA and isomers of either singly deprotonated 3- or 4-sulfobenzoic acid (n-SBA) esterified with either N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) or 1-hydroxy-7-aza-benzotriazole (HOBt). The cation/anion attachment product, through which the covalent reaction occurs, was isolated and subjected to dipolar DC (DDC) activation to generate covalently modified product over the ranges of DDC activation energies and times. The resulting survival yields were used to determine reaction rates, and Tolmachev's effective ion temperature was used to extract Arrhenius and Eyring activation parameters. It was found that the kinetics determined under these conditions are highly sensitive to the identities and locations of the nucleophilic sites on the peptides, the leaving groups on the reagent, and the location of the attachment sites on the reagent and analyte. Depending upon the identity of the analyte/reagent combination, significant variations in activation energy or entropy (or both) were both found to underlie the measured rate differences. The determination of dissociation kinetics under DDC conditions and application of Tolmachev's effective ion temperature treatment enables unique insights into the dynamics of gas-phase covalent bond formation via ion/ion reactions.

A new platform for the synthesis of diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives via nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

Project description:Diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs) are a versatile group of dyes and pigments with valuable optoelectronic properties. In this work we report the synthesis of highly fluorescent DPP derivatives through straightforward nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with thiols and phenols. These nucleophilic substitutions occur at room temperature and manifest a remarkable selectivity for the 4-position of the pentafluorophenyl groups. Both symmetrical (disubstitution) and non-symmetrical (monosubstitution) DPP derivatives are formed in excellent overall yields. The optical properties of the newly synthesized compounds are also discussed. The new platform may be useful for bioorthogonal chemistry.

Mechanistic Investigations into Amination of Unactivated Arenes via Cation Radical Accelerated Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution.

Project description:A mechanistic investigation into the amination of electron-neutral and electron-rich arenes using organic photoredox catalysis is presented. Kinetic and computational data support rate-limiting nucleophilic addition into an arene cation radical using both azole and primary amine nucleophiles. This finding is consistent with both fluoride and alkoxide nucleofuges, supporting a unified mechanistic picture using cation radical accelerated nucleophilic aromatic substitution (CRA-SNAr). Electrochemistry and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy confirm the key role solvents play in enabling selective arene oxidation in the presence of amines. The synthetic limitations of xanthylium salts are elucidated via photophysical studies. An alternative catalyst scaffold with improved turnover numbers is presented.
