Transition-Metal Free Chemoselective Hydroxylation and Hydroxylation–Deuteration of Heterobenzylic Methylenes
摘要:
We developed an approach for direct selective hydroxylation of heterobenzylic methylenes to secondary alcohols avoiding overoxidation to ketones by using a KOBu-t/DMSO/air system. Most reactions could reach completion in several minutes to give hydroxylated products in 41-76% yields. Using DMSO-d6, this protocol resulted in difunctionalization of heterobenzylic methylenes to afford α-deuterated secondary alcohols (>93% incorporation). By employing this method, active pharmaceutical ingredients carbinoxamine and doxylamine were synthesized in two steps in moderate yields.
The successful metalation of diazines without an ortho-directing group is described. In some cases, dimers were obtained. The metalation was optimal with LTMP if a 4-fold excess of metalating agent was used, with a very short metalation reaction time at -75 degrees C. This procedure was applied to pyrimidine, 2-substituted pyrimidines, pyridazine, and pyrazine, allowing for the synthesis of various monosubstituted diazines.
