Trapping Radicals to Make Acylpyrroles



Trapping Radicals to Make Acylpyrroles

 

Radical processes usually feature mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance. However, they usually require hazardous reagents like organotin or azo compounds.

A Novel and Practical Synthesis of Ramelteon

Abstract Image
An efficient and practical process for the synthesis of ramelteon 1, a sedative-hypnotic, is described. Highlights in this synthesis are the usage of acetonitrile as nucleophilic reagent to add to 4,5-dibromo-1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-indeno[5,4-b]furan-8-one 2 and the subsequent hydrogenation which successfully implement four processes (debromination, dehydration, olefin reduction, and cyano reduction) into one step to produce the ethylamine compound 13where dibenzoyl-l-tartaric acid is selected both as an acid to form the salt in the end of hydrogenation and as the resolution agent. Then, target compound 1 is easily obtained from13 via propionylation. The overall yield in this novel and concise process is almost twice as much as those in the known routes, calculated on compound 2.

Regioselective iodination of aryl amines using 1,4-dibenzyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo [2.2.2] octane dichloroiodate in solution and under solvent-free conditions

M. Alikarami, S. Nazarzadeh, M. Soleiman-Beigi

Abstract


1,4-Dibenzyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dichloroiodate is an efficient and regioselective reagent for iodination of aryl amines. A wide variety of aryl amines in reaction with this reagent afforded regioselectively iodinated products. The iodination reaction can be carried out in solution or under solvent-free condition at room temperature.

KEY WORDS:  Regioselective iodination, Aryl amines, 1,4-Dibenzyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo [2.2.2] octane dichloroiodate,  Solvent-free conditions

Abstract: A palladium-catalyzed stereospecific and regioselective cross-coupling of enantiopure 2-arylaziridines with arylboronic acids under mild conditions to construct a tertiary stereogenic center has been developed. N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands drastically promote the coupling, suppressing β-hydride elimination. The enantiospecific cross-coupling allowed us for preparation of a series of biologically important 2-arylphenethylamine derivatives in an enantiopure form.
