Chemoselective hydroamination of vinyl arenes catalyzed by an NHC-amidate-alkoxide Pd(II) complex and p-TsOH
摘要:
The hydroamination of various substituted vinyl arenes with benzenesulfonamide was explored using an NHC-amidate-alkoxide palladium catalyst in conjunction with p-TsOH. Utilizing halide-substituted and electron-rich vinyl arenes, this methodology selectively furnished the cross-coupled hydroamination products in moderate to excellent yields in a Markovnikov fashion while greatly reducing undesired acid-catalyzed homocoupling of the vinyl arenes. Electron-rich vinyl arenes typically required milder conditions than electron-poor ones. While most effective for para-substituted substrates, the catalyst system also furnished the desired products from ortho- and meta-substituted vinyl arenes with high chemoselectivities.

A series of N-benzylbenzenesulfonamides were synthesized and their biological activities were tested. Among these compounds, N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-N-(α-methylbenzyl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives were found to be the most active against barnyardgrass and to have physiological selectivity between barnyardgrass and rice plants.
