Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Atropisomeric Anilide Derivatives through Catalytic Asymmetric N-Arylation: Conformational Analysis and Application to Asymmetric Enolate Chemistry
enantioselectivity (88-96% ee) to give atropisomeric N-(p-nitrophenyl)anilides having an N-C chiral axis in good yields. Atropisomeric anilide products highly prefer to exist as the E-rotamer which has trans-disposed o-tert-butylphenyl group and carbonyl oxygen. The application of the present catalytic enantioselective N-arylation to an intramolecular version gives atropisomeric lactam derivatives with high
The Iodine-mediated oxidative intramolecular amination of anilines via cleavage of unactivated (sp3)C–H and N–H bonds for the production of indolines is described. This transition-metal-freeapproach provides a straightforward strategy for producing (sp3)C–N bonds for use in the preferential functionalization of unactivated (sp3)C–H bonds over (sp2)C–H bonds. The reaction could be performed on a gram
of (R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS-Pd(OAc)2 catalyst, N-arylation of ortho-tert-butyl-NH-anilides with 4-nitroiodobenzene proceeds with high enantioselectivity (89-95% ee) to give optically active atropisomeric anilides possessing N-C chiral axis. Furthermore, the intramolecular version of the present catalytic asymmetric N-arylation gave atropisomeric lactams with high optical purity (94-96% ee).
Copper-catalyzed oxidativeintramolecularcyclization of o-alkylated anilines via cleavage of C(sp3)-H and N-H bonds for the production of indolines is described. This approach provides a straightforward strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds through the functionalization of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with high site selectivity. The present catalytic system shows high preference
