Mechanistic Insight Enables Practical, Scalable, Room Temperature Chan–Lam N-Arylation of N-Aryl Sulfonamides
摘要:
Sulfonamides are profoundly important in pharmaceutical design. C-N cross-coupling of sulfonamides is an effective method for fragment coupling and structure-activity relationship (SAR) mining. However, cross-coupling of the important N-arylsulfonamide pharmacophore has been notably unsuccessful. Here, we present a solution to this problem via oxidative Cu catalysis (Chan-Lam cross-coupling). Mechanistic insight has allowed the discovery and refinement of an effective cationic Cu-catalyst to facilitate the practical and scalable Chan-Lam N-arylation of primary and secondary N-arylsulfonamides at room temperature. We also demonstrate utility in the large scale synthesis of a key intermediate to a clinical hepatitis C virus treatment.

A ruthenium-catalyzedremote sulfonylation at the C5 position of the pyridine group of N-aryl-2-aminopyridines with aromatic sulfonyl chlorides is described. The mechanistic and deuterium labeling studies clearly reveal that the ruthenametallacycle is a key intermediate in the reaction, which forms via the C–H bond activation. The DFT calculation supports that the C5 position of the 2-aminopyridine
