A general protocol for the Pd-catalyzed-arylation of nitroalkanes is described. Substituted aryl bromides as well as aryl chlorides can be coupled efficiently with a variety of nitroalkanes under mild conditions to selectively yield the monoarylated products. This method tolerates a number of functional groups including ketones, esters, and olefins. Notably, the arylation of nitroalkanes can be effected chemoselectively over ketone and ester arylation.

XEC between alkyl halides and nitroalkanes catalyzed by flavin-dependent ‘ene’-reductases. Photoexcitation of the enzyme-templated charge-transfer complex between an alkyl halide and flavin cofactor enables the chemoselective reduction of alkyl halide over the thermodynamically favored nitroalkane partner. The key C–C bond-forming step occurs via the reaction of an alkyl radical with an in situ generated

A general method for accessing 5-alkyl-5-aryl-gamma-lactams has been developed using readily available aryl bromides, nitroalkanes, and methyl acrylate as the starting materials. The palladium-catalyzed arylation of nitroalkanes gave the 1-aryl-substituted nitroalkanes, which underwent the DBU-mediated Michael addition with methyl acrylate at room temperature to afford the methyl 4-aryl-4-nitroalkanoates. The latter were then subjected to the nitro reduction using NaBH4-NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O in MeOH at 0 degrees C to furnish, after treatment with aqueous K2CO3 at room temperature, the 5-alkyl-5-aryl-gamma-lactams in good to excellent overall yields. Selected examples of N-alkylation of the gamma-lactams were also illustrated. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
