ABSTRACT

The regioselective addition of sulfur and amine nucleophiles to a -CBr3 unit and nitromethyl moiety in a molecule with the installation of a five-diverse bond structure to novel isothiazole-5(2H)-thione is demonstrated. Umpolung of the nitromethyl group leads to a novel scaffold with selective C-N bond formation. Consequently, differentiating reactive centers by sulfur and amine nucleophiles has been proposed to create unique S-N bonds in conjunction with the dithioate (S═C-S-) moiety. This protocol allows for exploration of the -CBr3 moiety as a synthetic equivalent of the dithioate (S═C-S-) unit during the reaction.

ABSTRACT

A mild, catalyst and oxidant-free efficient protocol for synthesizing α-ketothioamides is reported with a broad substrate scope. The presented protocol demonstrates the confined reactivity of amines. The polysulfide derived from elemental sulfur and amines in an aqueous medium drives the pathway toward diverse α-ketothioamides over thioamides. Substrates with different substituent groups were compatible with the presented protocol, and the respective ketothioamides were separated in good to excellent yields. The ketothioamides, known to exhibit anti-cancer properties, were synthesized by the proposed protocol. Furthermore, the synthetic utility was explored with the typical synthesis of ketoamides.

ABSTRACT

A mild, transition-metal-free novel synthetic approach for the construction of C═O and C-N bonds has been demonstrated. Easily accessible gem-dibromoalkenes under similar conditions form oxidative amidation product α-ketoamides and unusual degradative amidation product N-alkyl amides by simply changing the amine substitute. Atmospheric air containing molecular oxygen proved to be an ideal oxidant for an amidation reaction. Under similar conditions, the electron-deficient gem-dibromoalkenes play a dual role with different formamides forming novel oxidative amidation products and by the state of art neighboring group participation of amine to unusual one-carbon degradative amidation products.

ABSTRACT

A mild, greener approach toward thioamide synthesis has been developed. Its unique features include water-mediated reaction with no input energy, additives, or catalysts as well. The presented protocol is attractive with readily available starting materials and the use of different array amines, along with a scaled-up method. Biologically active molecules such as thionicotinamide and thioisonicotinamide can be synthesized from this procedure.

ABSTRACT

The direct integration of sulphur and amine groups with 1,1-dibromoalkenes for thioamide synthesis has been achieved in an aqueous medium. The presented green protocol emphasizes the suitability of aqueous media for the thioamidation reaction and enables greater selectivity with synthetic utility. A wide range of thioamides in moderate to excellent yields has been achieved using readily available starting materials, with the use of no organic solvents, catalysts, or additives.

ABSTRACT

The Mg-mediated conjugate addition of bromoform to a variety of electron-deficient alkenes has been investigated. In the case of nitrodienes and dibenzylideneacetones, tribromomethylated products were isolated, whereas spiro-cyclopropanated products were obtained with cyclic dibenzylideneketones and 3-olefinic oxindoles. The spiro-cyclopropyl ketones derived from cyclic dibenzylideneketones were successfully transformed into fused furans via the Cloke-Wilson rearrangement.

ABSTRACT

Tartaric acid is one of the most prominent naturally occurring chiral compounds. Whereas its application in the production of chiral ligands for metal-catalysed reactions has been exhaustively investigated, its potential to provide new organocatalysts has been less extensively explored. Nevertheless, some impressive results, such as the use of TADDOLs as chiral H-bonding catalysts or of tartrate-derived asymmetric quaternary ammonium salt catalysts, have been reported over the last decade. The goal of this article is to provide a representative overview of the potential and the limitations of tartaric acid or TADDOLs in the creation of new organocatalysts and to highlight some of the most spectacular applications of these catalysts, as well as to summarize case studies in which other classes of chiral backbones were better suited.

ABSTRACT

We have recently introduced a new class of chiral ammonium salt catalysts derived from easily available TADDOLs. To get a full picture of the scope of application and limitations of our catalysts we tested them in a variety of different important transformations. We found that, although these compounds have recently shown their good potential in the asymmetric α-alkylation of glycine Schiff bases, they clearly failed when we attempted to control more reactive nucleophiles like b-keto esters. On the other hand, when using them to catalyse the addition of glycine Schiff bases to different Michael acceptors it was found necessary to carefully optimize the reaction conditions for every single substrate class, as seemingly small structural changes sometimes required the use of totally different reaction conditions. Under carefully optimized conditions enantiomeric ratios up to 91:9 could be achieved in the addition of glycine Schiff bases to acrylates, whereas acrylamides and methyl vinyl ketone gave slightly lower selectivities (up to e.r. 77:23 in these cases). Thus, together with additional studies towards the syntheses of these catalysts we have now a very detailed understanding about the scope and limitations of the synthesis sequence to access our PTCs and about the application scope of these catalysts in asymmetric transformations.

ABSTRACT

A novel cage-annulated (bis-homocubyl) vinylidenecarbene has been generated and successfully trapped without any intermediacy of its cycloalkyne isomer. The greater kinetic and thermodynamic stability of the vinylidenecarbene vis-à-vis its cycloalkyne isomer has been predicted by DFT B3LYP/6-31G* calculations. The calculated results suggest the prospects of the cycloalkyne becoming amenable for trapping, if generated under suitable experimental conditions, owing to the substantial kinetic energy barrier associated with its possible ring contraction via 1,2-shift to the vinylidenecarbene isomer and marginal ground state energy difference. However, all of our attempts to directly generate and trap the cycloalkyne yielded unsatisfactory results. Attempted generation and trapping of a C2-symmetric bis-vinylidenecarbene from a bis-vinylidenedibromide met with unexpected failure.

ABSTRACT

Addition of bromoform to conjugated nitroalkenes in the presence of Mg provided beta-tribromomethyl nitroalkanes in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. These novel Michael adducts, formed under radical conditions, underwent elimination of HBr in the same pot under reflux to afford beta-dibromomethylenated nitroalkanes in good yield. Alternatively, a one-pot high yielding synthesis of the dibromides was possible under anionic conditions via LDA mediated addition of bromoform to nitroalkenes.
