- Synthesis of: N -methylated amines from acyl azides using methanol
-
The transformation of acyl azide derivatives into N-methylamines was developed using methanol as the C1 source via the one-pot Curtius rearrangement and borrowing hydrogen methodology. Following this protocol, various functionalised N-methylated amines were synthesized using the (NNN)Ru(ii) complex from carboxylic acids via an acyl azide intermediate. Several kinetic studies and DFT calculations were carried out to support the mechanism and also to determine the role of the Ru(ii) complex and base in this transformation.

- Deoxygenative Amination of Azine-N-oxides with Acyl Azides via [3 + 2] Cycloaddition
-
A transition-metal-free deoxygenative C-H amination reaction of azine-N-oxides with acyl azides is described. The initial formation of an isocyanate from the starting acyl azide via a Curtius rearrangement can trigger a [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition of polar N-oxide fragments to generate the aminated azine derivative. The applicability of this method is highlighted by the late-stage and sequential amination reactions of complex bioactive compounds, including quinidine and fasudil. Moreover, the direct transformation of aminated azines into various bioactive N-heterocycles illustrates the significance of this newly developed protocol.

- Palladium-Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of N -Sulfonyl, N -Phosphoryl, and N -Acyl Guanidines
-
An efficient palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction of azides with isonitrile and amines is presented; it offers an alternative facile approach toward N -sulfonyl-, N -phosphoryl-, and N -acyl-functionalized guanidines in excellent yield. These series of substituted guanidines exhibit potential biological and pharmacological activities. In addition, the less reactive intermediate benzoyl carbodiimide could be isolated by silica gel column flash chromatography in moderate yield.

- An investigation on practical synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives using p-toluenesulfonyl chloride
-
Carboxylic acid derivatives are well recognized as important class of reagents frequently used in the preparation of a variety of fine or special chemicals such as amides, esters, peptides, drugs, and dyes. Although several methods were developed for the preparation of these compounds, many of them present difficulties, including low yield, high reaction temperature, harsh reaction conditions, tedious work-up, and incompatibility with scale-up. Methods: The synthesis of carboxylic anhydrides is developed through the reaction of carboxylic acids with TsCl in the presence of K2CO3 and acetonitrile as a solvent under ultrasound irradiation and conventional conditions. In addition, one-pot synthesis of acyl azides was carried out in the presence of produced carboxylic anhydrides and the addition of sodium azide under identical condition. Results: A series of carboxylic anhydrides and acyl azides were synthesized using TsCl under ultrasound irradiation and conventional stirring with simple procedure, mild reaction conditions, high yields, and scale-up ability without any restriction. In most cases, the reaction under ultrasound irradiation was better in both yields and the reaction times compared to the conventional method. Conclusion: A convenient method has been developed for the preparation of carboxylic anhydrides and acyl azides under ultrasound irradiation and conventional stirring. The present method is practical and a highly effective alternative for previous reports. The major advantages of this method are: (i) simplicity of the procedure (ii) high yields and high purity of product (iii) scale-up capacity without considerable limitation in conventional system. Under ultrasound irradiation short reaction times as compared to conventional method are observed; yields are comparable to or better than conventional method.

- The challenge of palladium-catalyzed aromatic azidocarbonylation: From mechanistic and catalyst deactivation studies to a highly efficient process
-
Azidocarbonylation of iodoarenes with CO and NaN3, a novel Heck-type carbonylation reaction, readily occurs in an organic solvent-H 2O biphasic system to furnish aroyl azides at room temperature and 1 atm. The reaction is catalyzed by Xantphos-Pd and exhibits high functional group tolerance. The catalyst deactivation product, [(Xantphos)PdI2], can be reduced in situ with PMHS to Pd(0) to regain catalytic activity. In this way, the catalyst loading has been lowered to 0.2% without any losses in selectivity at nearly 100% conversion to synthesize a series of aroyl azides in 80-90% isolated yield on a gram scale. Alternatively, the ArCON3 product can be used without isolation for further transformations in situ, e.g., to isocyanates, ureas, benzamides, and iminophosphoranes. A detailed experimental and computational study has identified two main reaction pathways for the reaction. For both routes, Ar-I oxidative addition to Pd(0) is the rate-determining step. In the presence of CO in excess, the Ar-I bond is activated by the less electron-rich Pd center of a mixed carbonyl phosphine complex. Under CO-deficient conditions, a slightly lower energy barrier pathway is followed that involves Ar-I oxidative addition to a more reactive carbonyl-free (Xantphos)Pd0 species. Mass transfer in the triphasic liquid-liquid-gas system employed for the reaction plays an important role in the competition between these two reaction channels, uniformly leading to a common aroyl azido intermediate that undergoes exceedingly facile ArCO-N 3 reductive elimination. Safety aspects of the method have been investigated.

Aryl iodides smoothly react with NaN3 and CO in the presence of a Pd/Xantphos catalyst to give aroyl azides (ArCON3) in 75-92 % yield. The reaction occurs under mild reaction conditions (1 atm, 20-50 °C) and exhibits high functional-group tolerance. (Xantphos=9,9-dimethyl-4,5- bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene)

- Reinterpretation of curved hammett plots in reaction of nucleophiles with aryl benzoates: Change in rate-determining step or mechanism versus ground-state stabilization
-
A kinetic study is reported for the reaction of the anionic nucleophiles OH-, CN-, and N3- with aryl benzoates containing substituents on the benzoyl as well as the aryloxy moiety, in 80 mol % H2O-20 mol % dimethyl sulfoxide at 25.0 °C. Hammett log k vs σ plots for these systems are consistently nonlinear. However, a possible traditional explanation in terms of a mechanism involving a tetrahedral intermediate with curvature resulting from a change in rate-determining step is considered but rejected. The proposed explanation involves ground-state stabilization through resonance interaction between the benzoyl substituent and the electrophilic carbonyl center in the two-stage mechanism. Accordingly, the data are nicely accommodated on the basis of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation, which gives linear plots for all three nuceophiles. Literature reports of the mechanism of acyl transfer processes are reconsidered in this light.
