Exploratory Synthetic Studies of the α-Methoxylation of Amides via Cuprous Ion-Promoted Decomposition of o-Diazobenzamides
摘要:
A convenient nonelectrochemical amide oxidation method has been developed. The process involves a cuprous ion-promoted decomposition of o-diazobenzamides like 4, generated in situ from the corresponding o-aminobenzamides, to give N-acyliminium ion intermediate 9 via a 1,5-H-atom transfer, followed by metal-catalyzed oxidation of the resulting alpha-amidyl radical. The transformation produces alpha-methoxybenzamides 15 in good yields. An attempt was made to apply this oxidation method to a total synthesis of the alkaloid (-)-anisomycin (16). Scalemic o-aminobenzamide pyrrolidine derivatives 18a/18b underwent oxidation to give a-methoxylated amide substrates 19a/ 19b, respectively, in good yields. However, alkylation of the N-acyliminium intermediate 20 with (p-methoxybenzyl)magnesium chloride gave the undesired anti-compounds 22a/22b as the major products. The amide oxidation exhibits good regioselectivity with many unsymmetrical 2-substituted piperidine and pyrrolidine systems. In general, it appears that the larger the C-2 substituent, the greater the methylene/methine H-atom abstraction ratio. A mechanistic rationale for this selectivity is suggested based upon amide rotamer populations. An extension of this methodology can be used to conduct two sequential amide oxidations using readily prepared 2-amino-6-nitrobenzamides such as 68 and 69.
selected ferrocene derivatives were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The ferrocene derivatives and the ruthenium complexes were tested in vitro for their cytotoxicproperties against three cell lines derived from ovarian cancer (A2780, A2780cis, and SK-OV-3) and against non-tumour embryonic cell line HEK293 (human kidney cells). The most active ferrocene derivatives displayed cytotoxicity in submicromolar

Secondary amines are oxidized by the methyltrioxorhenium/hydrogen peroxide system to the corresponding nitrones in excellent yield. The results provide a further example of the parallel between the chemistry of this metal system and that of the dioxiranes.
