Multiple Reaction Channels of (N-Acyl-N-alkylcarbamoyl)oxyl Radicals from N-Acyl PTOC Carbamates
摘要:
N-Acyl-N-alkyl-N'-hydroxypyridine-2-thione carbamates (N-acyl PTOC carbamates) 1 are prepared in good to excellent yield by reactions of N-acylcarbamoyl chlorides with N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione sodium salt. Methods for production of the requisite carbamoyl chlorides by reaction of a secondary amide with trimethylsilyl triflate followed by treatment with phosgene were optimized. Precursors 1 react in radical chain reactions to give the title radicals (2) that can further react by several pathways. Decarboxylations of radicals 2 give amidyl radicals, and this method is excellent for production of acetamidyl radicals and in particular the N-methylacetarnidyl radical which is difficult to prepare by other routes. 5-Exo cyclizations of amidyl radicals produced by decarboxylation of 2 give, ultimately, lactams and N-acylpyrrolidines. 1,5-Hydrogen transfer reactions of 2 to give alpha-amide radicals compete with decarboxylation; cyclization of an alpha-amide radical thus formed also is reported. The Lewis acid MgBr2 can reduce the 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer reaction apparently by a chelation effect on the precursor that leads to production of radical 2 in a conformation unfavorable for hydrogen atom transfer. By appropriate experimental design, radicals 2 often can be directed toward one desired reaction, and several relative rate constants for reactions of 2 necessary for such design were determined in this work.

molecules with novel skeletons, but also to identify the enzymes that catalyze diverse chemical reactions. Exploring the substrate promiscuity and catalytic mechanism of those biosynthetic enzymes facilitates the development of potential biocatalysts. SfaB is an acyladenylate‐forming enzyme that adenylates a unique building block, 3‐isocyanobutanoic acid, in the biosynthetic pathway of the diisonitrile

A user-friendly approach is presented to sidestep the venerable Grignard addition to unactivated ketones to access tertiary alcohols by reversing the polarity of the disconnection. In this work a ketone instead acts as a nucleophile when adding to simpleunactivatedolefins to accomplish the same overall transformation. The scope of this coupling is broad as enabled using an electrochemical approach

transformation has been developed (see scheme; 2‐F‐Py=2‐fluoropyridine; Tf=trifluorosulfonyl). The amines are synthesized in good yields and the ketimine intermediates can be isolated before the reduction. This method should find applications in the synthesis of nitrogen‐containing bioactive molecules and medicinal agents.
Preparations on N-(phenylthio)amides from secondary amides are described, and these species are shown to be efficient precursors for amidyl radicals in Bu3SnH mediated reactions; cyclizations of δ,ε-unsaturated amidyl radicals from these precursors and their use in measurement of relative rate constants are reported.

N-Alkyl(aryl)amides of allylacetic acid when reacting with arylsulfenyl chlorides in acetic acid in the presence of lithium perchlorate undergo a selective cyclization to form N-(2Z)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl] dihydrofuran-2(3H)-ylidene}-N-alkyl-(aryl)aminium perchlorates. Treating of the latter with sodium acetate leads to the formation of the corresponding 5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl]lactones, and with
