O-Methylarenehydroxamates as ortho-lithiation directing groups. Titanium(III)-mediated conversion of O-methyl hydroxamates to primary amides
摘要:
Reaction of O-methyl benzohydroxamates 2a-c with sec-butyllithium in the presence of TMEDA at -40-degrees-C regiospecifically generates the highly reactive N,ortho-dilithiated species (e.g. 3). These dilithio species react avidly with a wide spectrum of electrophilic reagents, including alkyl halides, giving adducts which on reduction with TiCl3 are converted into ortho-substituted primary benzamides in excellent yields. Ortho lithiation of O-methyl benzohydroxamates is thus formally equivalent to ortho lithiation of primary benzamides themselves. The utility of these synthetic operations is enhanced by the well-known facility with which the primary amide moiety can be transformed into other useful functional groups. The conversion of 0-methyl hydroxamates to primary amides is shown to be general, as exemplified by transformation of 14a-f to 15a-f.O-Methyl 2-methylbenzohydroxamate (4a) undergoes regiospecific dilithiation on nitrogen and on the methyl group when treated with sec-butyllithium at -70-degrees-C. These dilithio species react with DMF or ''Weinreb-type'' amides to give condensation products which cyclize to N-methoxyisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones under mildly acidic conditions. Removal of the N-methoxy moiety under conditions analogous to those used for O-methyl benzohydroxamate provides N-unsubstituted isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones with high overall efficiency. This process is exemplified by the synthesis of isoquinolin-1(2H)-one 9a, its 3-n-butyl congener 9b, and the tricyclic isoquinolin-1 (2H)-ones 20a and 20b from O-methyl 2-methylbenzohydroxamate (4a).

Tunable Synthesis of 3-Hydroxylisoquinolin-1,4-dione and Isoquinolin-1-one Enabled by Copper-Catalyzed Radical 6-<i>endo</i> Aza-cyclization of 2-Alkynylbenzamide
In this work, switchable synthesis of isoquinolin-1-one and 3-hydroxylisoquinolin-1,4-dione from 2-alkynylbenzamide is reported. The transformation works well with good yields and a broad reaction scope. The synthetic switch for providing isoquinolin-1-one and 3-hydroxylisoquinolin-1,4-dione is enabled by the use of a N2 or O2 atmosphere. Mechanism studies show that the reaction proceeds in a regioselective

regio-selectively controllable approach for construction of diverse benzo-heterocycles is established. A new strategy for using the ligand effect in gold catalysis to control the regioselectivity in the cyclization of o-alkynyl-N-methoxyl-benzamide is successfully achieved. Meanwhile, the chemoselectivity between nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles is precisely switched by gold and platinumcatalysts.
