Recent synthetic strategies for N-arylation of pyrrolidines: a potential template for biologically active molecules

The chemistry of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds has been a multifaceted area of research for an extended period due to their varied therapeutic and biological significance. N-Aryl pyrrolidine formed by condensation of aryl group with nitrogen atom of pyrrolidine is present in a wide array of compounds. Various significant activities shown by N-arylated pyrrolidine include anti-Alzheimer, antihypoxic, anticancer, plant activator, analgesic effect, and hepatitis C inhibitor. This review summarizes different synthetic approaches, e.g., transition-metal catalyzed and transition-metal-free synthesis, decarboxylation reaction, reductive amination, nucleophilic cyclization, Ullmann-Goldberg amidation, Buchwald-Hartwig reaction, Chan-Evans-Lam coupling, addition to benzyne, multistep reaction, green synthesis, rearrangement reaction, and multicomponent reaction, to afford the derivatives of N-aryl pyrrolidine. It encompasses synthetic strategies documented from 2015 to 2023.

Copper Catalyst-Supported Modified Magnetic Chitosan for the Synthesis of Novel 2-Arylthio-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one Derivatives via Chan–Lam Coupling

In this paper, magnetic chitosan is used as a support for the immobilization of copper catalyst (Cu@MChit). The fabricated catalyst is successfully synthesized and characterized by several techniques. The activity of Cu@MChit catalyst is evaluated in the synthesis of novel derivatives of 3-alkyl-2-arylthio-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones. The products are synthesized in three simple steps via Chan–Lam coupling reaction. The synthetic route is based on the reaction of isatoic anhydride and an amine, followed by the reaction with carbon disulfide. Cu@MChit-catalyzed reaction of the obtained intermediate with phenylboronic acid leads to the desired products. The scope of the reaction is confirmed by using various amine and phenylboronic acid derivatives and the products are obtained in high isolated yields.

Nickel(0)-catalysed linear-selective hydroarylation of 2-aminostyrenes with arylboronic acids by a bifunctional temporary directing group strategy

We report a nickel(0)-catalyzed linear-selective hydroarylation of 2-aminostyrenes with arylboronic acids using a bifunctional temporary directing group strategy. In the presence of a catalytic amount of commercially available 3,5-dibromosalicylaldehyde, an...

Copper-Catalyzed, Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Mediated N-Arylation of Amines

Cu-Catalyzed, ligand and base free cross-coupling of aryl boronic acids with primary and secondary amines has been reported. This 'Chan-Evans-Lam' reaction has revealed that at room temperature, catalytic copper(II) acetate and ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as an oxidant, N-arylation can result in an effective C-N bond formation. This air stable, practical, robust protocol enables a variety of functional group tolerance on both boronic acid and amine partners.

Synthetic applications and methodology development of Chan-Lam coupling: a review

Chan-Lam coupling is one of the most popular and easy methods to perform arylation of amines (N-arylations). This cross-coupling is generally performed by reacting aryl boronate derivatives with a variety of substrates involving nitrogen containing functional groups such as amines, amides, ureas, hydrazine, carbamates. This article summarizes the synthetic applications of this reaction and the efforts of scientists to develop novel and efficient methodologies for this reaction.
