The biologically important naturally available benzophenanthridines were prepared efficiently in three steps with overall good yields. A new synthetic methodology involving a rhodium(III) catalyzed redox-neutral ring-opening of 7-azabenzonorbornadienes with aromatic aldoximes is developed to synthesize the target molecules. The developed C-H ring-opening reaction is highly diastereoselective and compatible with various sensitive functional group substituted aromatic aldoximes as well as substituted 7-azabenzonorbornadienes. The ring-opening products were transformed into highly sensitive 13,14-dehydrobenzo phenanthridine derivatives by HCl hydrolysis. Subsequently, 13,14-dehydrobenzophenanthridines were converted into biologically important benzophenanthridine alkaloids in the presence of DDQ. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed for the C-H ring-opening reaction and supported by the deuterium labeling studies.
Regiospecific synthesis of substituted 2-nitrobenzaldehydes from benzaldehydes through palladium-catalyzed chelation-assisted C-H nitration

A regiospecific synthesis of substituted 2-nitrobenzaldehydes from substituted benzaldehydes has been developed that involves a three-step process with palladium-catalyzed chelation-assisted C-H nitration as the key step. In the process, O-methyl aldoxime serves as a removable directing group for the palladium-catalyzed ortho-nitration of substituted benzaldoximes and it can be removed in subsequent conversion of the resulting 2-nitrobenzaldoximes into 2-nitrobenzaldehydes.
Ruthenium-catalysed conversion of oxime ethers into nitriles
Anand, Naveen,Owston, Nathan A.,Parker, Alexandra J.,Slatford, Paul A.,Williams, Jonathan M.J.
, p. 7761 - 7763 (2008/02/12)
The conversion of oxime ethers into nitriles has been achieved under neutral conditions using Ru(CO)(PPh3)3H2 and the bidentate ligand Xantphos as the catalyst.
