A green way to γ-lactams through a copper catalyzed ARGET-ATRC in ethanol and in the presence of ascorbic acid
摘要:
A 'green' ARGET-ATRC, for the CuCl[PMDETA] catalysed cyclo-isomerization of N-allyl-alpha-polychloroamides to gamma-lactams is described. The process works efficiently (yields 78-96%), uses a bio-solvent, as ethanol, and exploits the reducing feature of ascorbic acid to limit, at a low level (2-4%), the amount of catalyst. To preserve the efficacy of the catalytic cycle, addition of Na2CO3 is essential, which quenches the HCl released during the CuCl[PMDETA] regeneration step. Profitable features of the process are: mild reaction temperatures (25-37 degrees C), relatively short reaction times (usually 5 h) and low solvent volumes (2 mmol of substrate/mL of ethanol). The method, upon stoichiometric adjustment, was also used for the synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated-gamma-lactams from N-(2-chloroallyl)-alpha-polychloroamides, via a tandem process involving an ATRC and a reductive [1,2]-elimination.

The cyclisation of N‐allyl‐N‐substituted‐α‐polychloroamides is efficiently obtained through a copper‐catalysed activators regenerated by electron transfer–atom transferradicalcyclisation process, with a metalload of only 0.5mol%. The redox catalyst is introduced in its inactive form as copper(II) chloride/[nitrogen ligand] complex, and continuously regenerated to the active copper(I) chloride/[nitrogen
