Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2021; 60:8425-8430.

Abstract
Rearrangement reactions incorporated into cascade reactions play an important role in rapidly increasing molecular complexity from readily available starting materials. Reported here is a Cu-catalyzed cascade reaction of α-(hetero)aryl-substituted alkyl (hetero)aryl ketones with primary amines that incorporates an unusual 1,2-aryl migration induced by amide C-N bond formation to produce a class of structurally novel α,α-diaryl β,γ-unsaturated γ-lactams in generally good-to-excellent yields. This cascade reaction has a broad substrate scope with respect to primary amines, allows a wide spectrum of (hetero)aryl groups to smoothly undergo 1,2-migration, and tolerates electronically diverse α-substituents on the (hetero)aryl ring of the ketones. Mechanistically, this 1,2-aryl migration may stem from the intramolecular amide C-N bond formation which induces nucleophilic migration of the aryl group from the acyl carbon center to the electrophilic carbon center that is conjugated with the resulting iminium moiety.

[PMID: 31417081 PMCID: PMC6695438 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11624-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2019] [Accepted: 07/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Metal-catalyzed β-C-H functionalization of saturated carbonyls via dehydrogenative desaturation proved to be a powerful tool for simplifying synthesis of valuable β-substituted carbonyls. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative γ-C(sp3)-H amination of saturated ketones that initiates the three-component coupling of saturated ketones, amines and N-substituted maleimides to construct polysubstituted anilines. The protocol presented herein enables both linear and α-branched butanones to couple a wide spectrum of amines and various N-substituted maleimides to produce diverse tetra- or penta-substituted anilines in fair-to-excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. The mechanism studies support that this ketone dehydrogenative γ-C(sp3)-H amination was triggered by the ketone α,β-dehydrogenation desaturation that activates the adjacent γ-C(sp3)-H bond towards functionalization. This α,β-dehydrogenation desaturation-triggered cascade sequence opens up a new avenue to the remote C(sp3)-H functionalization of saturated ketones and has the potential to enable the rapid syntheses of complex compounds from simple starting materials.
