- High-Throughput Discovery and Evaluation of a General Catalytic Method for N-Arylation of Weakly Nucleophilic Sulfonamides
-
Through targeted high-throughput experimentation (HTE), we have identified the Pd/AdBippyPhos catalyst system as an effective and general method to construct densely functionalized N,N-diaryl sulfonamide motifs relevant to medicinal chemistry. AdBippyPhos is particularly effective for the installation of heteroaromatic groups. Computational steric parametrization of the investigated ligands reveals the potential importance of remote steric demand, where a large cone angle combined with an accessible Pd center is correlated to successful catalysts for C-N coupling reactions.

- Synthesis of N-arylsulfonamides through a Pd-catalyzed reduction coupling reaction of nitroarenes with sodium arylsulfinates
-
A novel one-step direct reductive coupling reaction between nitroarenes and sodium arylsulfinates was realized in the presence of an inexpensive Pd/C catalyst. In this procedure, readily available nitroarenes are employed as the nitrogen sources, and sodium arylsulfinates serve as both coupling partners and reductants. The method features high efficiency by using cheap Pd/C with low catalyst loading and good functional group tolerance in the absence of any additional reductants or ligands. This facile and mild synthetic method enables the high efficiency synthesis of functionalized N-arylsulfonamides from readily available substrates.

- Triple Mode of Alkylation with Ethyl Bromodifluoroacetate: N, or O-Difluoromethylation, N-Ethylation and S-(ethoxycarbonyl)difluoromethylation
-
In this report, we have explored a triple mode of chemical reactivity of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. Typically, bromodifluoroacetic acid has been used as a difluorocarbene precursor for difluoromethylation of soft nucleophiles. Here we have disclosed nucleophilicity and base dependent divergent chemical reactivity of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. It furnishes lithium hydroxide and cesium carbonate promoted difluoromethylation of tosyl-protected aniline and electron-deficient phenols respectively. Interestingly, switching the base from lithium hydroxide to 4-N,N-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) tosyl-protected anilines afforded the corresponding N-ethylation product. Whereas, highly nucleophilic thiophenols furnished the corresponding S-carboethoxydifluoromethylation product via a rapid SN2 attack to the bromine atom prior to the ester hydrolysis. This mechanistic divergence was established through several control experiments. It was revealed that difluoromethylation reaction proceeds through a tandem in situ ester hydrolysis/decarboxylative-debrominative difluorocarbene formation and subsequent trapping by the soft nucleophile-NHTs or electron-deficient phenolic ?OH groups. In the presence of DMAP the hydrolysis of the ester is perturbed instead a nucleophilic attack at the ethyl moiety provides the N-ethylation product. Hence, besides the development of a practical base-promoted N-difluoromethylation of amines and electron-deficient phenols, divergent reactivity pattern of inexpensive and user-friendly ethyl bromodifluoroacetate has been explored. (Figure presented.).

- A highly efficient heterogeneous copper-catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling reaction of sulfonyl azides with arylboronic acids leading to: N -arylsulfonamides
-
A heterogeneous Chan-Lam coupling reaction between sulfonyl azides and arylboronic acids was achieved in MeOH at room temperature in the presence of 10 mol% of an l-proline-functionalized MCM-41-immobilized copper(i) complex [MCM-41-l-proline-CuCl] under air, yielding a variety of N-arylsulfonamides in excellent yields. The new heterogeneous copper complex can be prepared from commercially readily available and inexpensive reagents, and recovered by simple filtration of the reaction solution and recycled at least 8 times without any decreases in activity.

- Direct C-H amidation of benzoic acids to introduce meta- and para-amino groups by tandem decarboxylation
-
The Ir-catalyzed mild C-H amidation of benzoic acids with sulfonyl azides was developed to give reactions with high efficiency and functional-group compatibility. Subsequent protodecarboxylation of ortho-amidated benzoic acid products afforded meta- or para-substituted (N-sulfonyl)aniline derivatives, the latter being inaccessible by other C-H functionalization approaches. The decarboxylation step was compatible with the amidation conditions, enabling a convenient one-pot, two-step process. Without a trace: Carboxylic acids are used as traceless directing groups in the Ir-catalyzed direct C-H amidation of arenes with sulfonyl azides under mild conditions. The tandem protodecarboxylation of the ortho-amidated benzoic acid products afforded meta- or para-substituted (N-sulfonyl)anilines, which are difficult to obtain by other C-H functionalization approaches.

- Palladium-catalyzed arylation of aryl sulfonamides with cyclohexanones
-
Pd-catalyzed intermolecular aerobic dehydrogenative aromatizations have been developed for the arylation of aryl sulfonamides with cyclohexanones. Various N-aryl sulfonamides were selectively obtained in good yields using molecular oxygen as oxidant. The reaction tolerated a wide range of functionalities.

- Practical methods for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated alkynes: Oxidative trifluoromethylation of copper acetylides and alkynes
-
Two practical and complementary methods are reported for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated alkynes. The first one, a mix-and-stir process, is based on the oxidative trifluoromethylation of readily available and bench-stable copper acetylides while the second one, which displays a broad substrate scope and has several advantages over existing procedures, is based on the oxidative copper-catalyzed direct trifluoromethylation of terminal alkynes. Both reactions provide user-friendly processes for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated acetylenes which can be easily obtained from readily available starting materials.

- A soluble copper(I) source and stable salts of volatile ligands for copper-catalyzed C-X couplings
-
A stable adduct of CuI with Bu4NI, soluble in organic solvents, has been identified as an effective catalyst for copper-catalyzed C-N and C-O couplings. In addition, stable nonhygroscopic salts of some high performance ligands (diamine MsOH salts/CuX and copper(II) diketonates) were shown to be of similar and sometimes greater reactivity compared to the literature reagents for these couplings. Furthermore, these more robust conditions result in more reproducible results.
