- Nitrene transfer catalyzed by a non-heme iron enzyme and enhanced by non-native small-molecule ligands
-
Transition-metal catalysis is a powerful tool for the construction of chemical bonds. Here we show that Pseudomonas savastanoi ethylene-forming enzyme, a non-heme iron enzyme, can catalyze olefin aziridination and nitrene C-H insertion, and that these activities can be improved by directed evolution. The non-heme iron center allows for facile modification of the primary coordination sphere by addition of metal-coordinating molecules, enabling control over enzyme activity and selectivity using small molecules.

- Synthesis of Sultams and Cyclic N-Sulfonyl Ketimines via Iron-Catalyzed Intramolecular Aliphatic C-H Amidation
-
Cyclic sulfonamides (sultams) play a unique role in drug discovery and synthetic chemistry. A direct synthesis of sultams by an intramolecular C(sp3)-H amidation reaction using an iron complex in situ derived from Fe(ClO4)2 and aminopyridine ligand is reported. This strategy features a readily available catalyst and tolerates a broad variety of substrates as demonstrated by 22 examples (up to 89% yield). A one-pot iron-catalyzed amidation/oxidation procedure for the synthesis of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines is also realized with up to 92% yield (eight examples). The synthetic utility of the method is validated by a gram-scale reaction and derivatization of the products to ring-fused sultams.

- Chemoselective, enzymatic C-H bond amination catalyzed by a cytochrome P450 containing an Ir(Me)-PIX cofactor
-
Cytochrome P450 enzymes have been engineered to catalyze abiological C-H bond amination reactions, but the yields of these reactions have been limited by low chemoselectivity for the amination of C-H bonds over competing reduction of the azide substrate t

- Intramolecular asymmetric amidations of sulfonamides and sulfamates catalyzed by chiral dirhodium(II) complexes
-
Enantioselective intramolecular amidation of aliphatic sulfonamides was achieved for the first time by means of chiral carboxylatodirhodium(II) catalysts in conjunction with PhI(OAc)2 and MgO in high yields and with enantioselectivities of up to 66% (Scheme 3, Table 1). The best results were obtained with [Rh2{(S)-nttI)4] and [Rh 2{(R)-ntv)4] as catalysts ((S)-nttl = (αS)-α- (tert-butyl)-1,3-dioxo-2H-benz[de]isoquinoline-2-acetato, (R)-nto = (αR)-α-isopropyl-1,3-dioxo-2H-benz[de] isoquinoline-2-acetato). In addition, these carboxylatodirhodium(II) catalysts were also efficient in intramolecular amidations of aliphatic sulfamates esters, although the enantioselectivity of these latter reactions was significantly lower (Scheme 4, Table 3).

- Mild and Efficient Synthesis of Aromatic Sulfonamides by in situ Preparation of the Corresponding Sulfonyl Isothiocyanates
-
A new reaction between chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (1) and trialkylstannyl-substituted arenes 2a-k, 7, 9 is described.It provides the aromatic sulfonyl isocyanates 3 or their derivatives, the sulfonamides 4a-j, the sulfonylcarbamates 5a-b, or sulfonylureas 6, respectively.The trialkylstannyl group as an efficient leaving group allows mild reaction conditions to be applied and unusual substitution patterns to be obtained, normally not accessible by electrophilic aromatic substitutions.Thus, sulfonamidation can be achieved in meta position to a trifluoromethyl group. Key words: Electrophilic aromatic substitution; sulfodestannalytion; isocyanates, sulfonyl, aromatic; sulfonyl compounds; trialkylarylstannanes, application of
