Synthesis of nitrogen-containing polycycles via rhodium(II)-induced cyclization-cycloaddition and insertion reactions of N-(diazoacetoacetyl)amides. Conformational control of reaction selectivity
摘要:
A series of diazoacetoacetamides, when treated with a catalytic quantity of a rhodium(II) carboxylate, were found to afford products derived from both a carbonyl ylide intermediate and intramolecular C-H insertion. With 3-(N-(diazoacetoacetyl)amino)propanoate derivatives, the rhodium(II)-catalyzed carbenoid reactions exhibit a strong preference for formation of a beta-lactam ring. This is attributed to a conformational preference that juxtaposes the carbenoid center and the less sterically encumbered amide substituent and is consistent with an activating influence on the C-H bond adjacent to the amide nitrogen atom. Carbonyl ylide products derived from carbenoid cyclization onto the ester carbonyl group are also formed, and their relative yields are dependent on electronic influences from the bridging ligands of rhodium(II). Treatment of a series of cyclic diazoimides with rhodium(II) acetate resulted in cyclization of the rhodium carbenoid onto the adjacent imide carbonyl group to produce an isomunchnone dipole. Cyclization onto the imide carbonyl group occurs exclusively even when C-H insertion or aromatic substitution reactions of the carbenoid intermediate are favorable, and this selectivity is also attributed to conformational preferences that juxtapose the carbenoid center and imide carbonyl group. The isomunchnone dipole readily undergoes cycloaddition with several different dipolarophiles to give 1,3-dipolar cycloadducts. When acetylenic dipolarophiles were used as the trapping agents, the initial cycloadducts were found to undergo a [4 + 2]-cycloreversion, producing substituted furans in high yield. The generality of the method was demonstrated by varying the ring size of the cyclic imide. An analogous cyclization-cycloaddition reaction also occurred using diazoacetoacetyl-substituted ureas.

Ynamides are accessed via copper-catalyzed coupling of Grignard or organozinc nucleophiles with chloroynamides, formed in situ from 1,2-dichloroenamides. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope, is readily scaled, and overcomes typical limitations in ynamide synthesis such as the use of ureas, carbamates, and bulky or aromatic amide derivatives. This modular approach contrasts with previous routes

A flexible, modular ynamide synthesis is reported that uses a wide range of amides and electrophiles, including acyclic carbamates, hindered sulfonamides, and aryl amides.
The rate constants of the thermal dissociation of tri-substituted ureas in fatty acids and alcohols were determined. It was shown that tri-substituted ureas dissociate faster than 1, 3-dis-substituted ureas. In tri-substituted ureas, the rates in alcohols are faster than in fatty acids in contrast with 1, 3-disubstituted ureas.Tetra-substituted ureas which are not formed by the addition reaction do not react under the same condition with tri-substituted ureas.The bimolecular mechanism for the dissociation of ureas involving the direct attack of one solvent molecule on urea was denied.

A green and efficient visible-light promoted oxidative desulphurisation protocol has been proposed for the construction of unsymmetrical ureas under mild conditions with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Most appealingly, the reaction can proceed smoothly without adding any strong oxidants. Control experiments and computational studies support a mechanism involving water-assisted
Abstract A new practical method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas was achieved by reaction of phenylurea with primary and secondary amines under neutral and mild condition in very good yields. The reaction took place in refluxing dioxane and does not require any catalyst or additives.
