- An Efficient Synthesis of Nitriles from Aldoximes in the Presence of Trifluoromethanesulfonic Anhydride in Mild Conditions
-
Abstract: A new and convenient protocol has been proposed for the transformation of aldoximes to nitriles using trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and triethylamine. The proposed method allows a range of aldoximes, including aromatic, heterocyclic, aliphatic, and cycloaliphatic aldoximes, to be converted to the corresponding nitriles in good to excellent yields.

- Direct Synthesis of Nitriles from Carboxylic Acids Using Indium-Catalyzed Transnitrilation: Mechanistic and Kinetic Study
-
Aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids can be quantitatively converted to the corresponding nitriles in the presence of catalysts using acetonitrile both as a solvent and reactant at 200 °C. This transformation is based on the acid-nitrile exchange (i.e., transnitrilation) and uses a nontoxic and water resistant catalyst, indium trichloride (InCl3). The mechanism of the transnitrilation was investigated both experimentally and computationally and compared to the previously proposed mechanism. In contrast to the usually assumed formation of amide as an intermediate, transnitrilation is an equilibrium reaction and proceeds via an equilibrated Mumm reaction with the formation of an imide as an intermediate. A simple and reversible mechanism was proposed for this reaction, which was validated by kinetics measurement and by density functional theory calculations of the reaction intermediates and reaction mechanisms.

- Improving Robustness: In Situ Generation of a Pd(0) Catalyst for the Cyanation of Aryl Bromides
-
Conditions have been developed for the palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl bromides utilizing the air-stable XantPhos-PdCl2 precatalyst. By employing a trialkylamine as a reducing agent, the active Pd(0) species is generated in situ, alleviating the need to employ the air-sensitive Pd2(dba)3. Twenty-two substituted benzonitriles have been synthesized using this method.

- Half-Sandwich Guanidinate-Osmium(II) Complexes: Synthesis and Application in the Selective Dehydration of Aldoximes
-
The novel guanidinate-osmium(II) complexes [OsCl{κ2-(N,N′)-C(NR)(NiPr)NHiPr}(η6-p-cymene)] [R = Ph (3a), 4-C6H4F (3b), 4-C6H4Cl (3c), 4-C6H4CF3 (3d), 3-C6H4CF3 (3e), 3,5-C6H3(CF3)2 (3f), 4-C6H4CN (3g), 4-C6H4Me (3h), 3-C6H4Me (3i), 2-C6H4Me (3j), 4-C6H4tBu (3k), 2,6-C6H3iPr2 (3l), 2,4,6-C6H2Me3 (3m)] have been synthesized in high yields (70-88 %) by treatment of THF solutions of the dimeric precursor [{OsCl(μ-Cl)(η6-p-cymene)}2] (1) with 4 equivalents of the corresponding guanidine (iPrHN)2C=NR (2a-m) at room temperature. The easily separable guanidinium chloride salts [(iPrHN)2C(NHR)]Cl (4a-m) were also formed in these reactions. The structures of 3a, 3d, and 3h were unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Complexes 3a-m proved to be active in the catalytic dehydration of aldoximes. The best results were obtained with [OsCl{κ2-(N,N′)-C(N-4-C6H4CF3)(NiPr)NHiPr}(η6-p-cymene)] (3d; 5 mol-%), which, in acetonitrile at 80C, was able to convert selectively a large variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldoximes into the corresponding nitriles in high yields and short reaction times. Novel osmium(II)-guanidinate complexes of general composition [OsCl{κ2-(N,N′)-C(NR)(NiPr)NHiPr}(η6-p-cymene)] (R = Ar) have been synthesized and successfully employed as catalysts for the selective conversion of aldoximes into nitriles.

- Direct preparation of nitriles from carboxylic acids in continuous flow
-
A continuous-flow protocol for the preparation of organic nitriles from carboxylic acids has been developed. The method is based on the acid-nitrile exchange reaction with acetonitrile, used as the solvent, and takes place without any catalyst or additives under the high-temperature/high-pressure conditions employed. At 350 C and 65 bar, where acetonitrile is in its supercritical state, the transformation of benzoic acid to benzonitrile requires 25 min. The protocol has been tested for a variety of nitriles, including aromatic and aliphatic substrates.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of primary amides from aldehydes in water
-
The readily available arene-ruthenium(ii) complex [RuCl2(η 6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] (5 mol%) proved to be an efficient catalyst for the direct synthesis of primary amides from aldehydes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH2OH· HCl) in water at 100 °C. The process, which requires the presence of NaHCO3 to catch the HCl released during the formation of the key aldoxime intermediates, was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic aldehydes, and tolerated several functional groups. A greener approach using commercially available NH 2OH solution (50 wt.% in water) is also presented.

- Copper-catalyzed cyanation of heteroaryl bromides: A novel and versatile catalyst system inspired by nature
-
An improved copper catalyst system for the cyanation of heteroaryl halides leading to substituted heteroaryl nitriles is described. The catalyst system consists of simple CuI and N-alkylimidazoles, and mimics known Cu-containing metalloproteins. It is stable, commercially available, cheap and easily tunable. By using inexpensive and non-toxic K4[Fe(CN)6] and the novel Cu catalysts we were able to cyanate both activated and non-activated heteroarenes with high yield and selectivity. The generality of the procedure is demonstrated by a variety of different examples, some of which did not react under other known methods. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- COPPER-CATALYZED FORMATION OF CARBON-HETEROATOM AND CARBON-CARBON BONDS
-
One aspect of the present invention relates to copper-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bond-forming methods. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to copper-catalyzed methods of forming a carbon-sulfur bond between the sulfur atom of a thiol moiety and the activated carbon of an aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl halide or sulfonate. In other embodiments, the present invention relates to copper(II)-catalyzed methods of forming a carbon-nitrogen bond between the nitrogen atom of an amide and the activated carbon of an aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl halide or sulfonate. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to copper-catalyzed methods of forming a carbon-carbon bond between the carbon atom of cyanide ion and the activated carbon of an aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl halide or sulfonate. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a copper-catalyzed method of transforming and aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl iodide. Yet another embodiment of the present invention relates to a tandem method, which may be practiced in a single reaction vessel, wherein the first step of the method involves the copper-catalyzed formation of an aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl iodide from the corresponding aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl chloride or bromide; and the second step of the method involves the copper-catalyzed formation of an aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl nitrile, amide or sulfide from the aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl iodide formed in the first step.

- Synthetic studies related to diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) pigments. Part 1: The search for alkenyl-DPPs. Unsaturated nitriles in standard DPP syntheses: A novel cyclopenta[c]pyrrolone chromophore
-
Reactions of the anion of ethyl 4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-2-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate with the Diels-Alder adducts of acrylonitrile and various dienes rarely yield the expected DPP derivatives. The reaction with cyclohex-3-enecarbonitrile provides a noteworthy exception: thermolysis of the resulting cyclohexenyl-DPP gives butadiene and impure 3-ethenyl-6-phenyl-DPP, the latter being thermally unstable. Michael additions predominate when the above anion reacts with α,β-unsaturated nitriles: acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile give 4,4-bis(cyanoethyl) and 4,4-bis(2-cyanopropyl) derivatives, and cinnamonitrile, substituted cinnamonitriles and 3-(2-thienyl)acrylonitrile give deep red 3-aryl-5-cyano-4-hydroxy-2H-cyclopenta[c]pyrrol-1-ones. These ambident nucleophiles may undergo N- and either O- or C-alkylation according to the alkylating agent used.

- Phenethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) compounds as a new class of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. 2. Synthesis and further structure-activity relationship studies of PETT analogs
-
Phenylethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) derivatives have been identified as a new series of nonnucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 RT. Structure-activity relationship studies of this class of compounds resulted in the identification of N-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-N'-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]-thiourea hydrochloride (trovirdine; LY300046.HCl) as a highly potent anti-HIV-1 agent. Trovirdine is currently in phase one clinical trials for potential use in the treatment of AIDS. Extension of these structure-activity relationship studies to identify additional compounds in this series with improved properties is ongoing. A part of this work is described here. Replacement of the two aromatic moleties of the PETT compounds by various substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic rings was investigated. In addition, the effects of multiple substitution in the phenyl ring were also studied. The antiviral activities were determined on wild-type and constructed mutants of HIV-1 RT and on wild-type HIV-1 and mutant viruses derived thereof, Ile100 and Cys181, in cell culture assays. Some selected compounds were determined on double- mutant viruses, HIV-1 (Ile100/Asn103) and HIV-1 (Ile100/Cys181). A number of highly potent analogs were synthesized. These compounds displayed IC50's against wild-type RT between 0.6 and 5 nM. In cell culture, these agents inhibited wild-type HIV-1 with ED50's between I and 5 nM in MT-4 cells. In addition, these derivatives inhibited mutant HIV-1 RT (Ile 100) with IC50's between 20 and 50 nM and mutant HIV-1 RT (Cys 181) with IC50's between 4 and 10 nM, and in cell culture they inhibited mutant HIV-1 (Ile100) with ED50's between 9 and 100 nM and mutant HIV-1 (Cys181) with ED50's between 3 and 20 nM.
