CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202300964. [PMID: 37696772 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202300964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed, non-enzymatic nitrene transfer (NT) reactions to selectively transform C-H and C=C bonds to new C-N bonds are a powerful strategy to streamline the preparation of valuable amine building blocks. However, many catalysts for these reactions use environmentally unfriendly solvents that include dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane and benzene. We developed a high-throughput experimentation (HTE) protocol for heterogeneous NT reaction mixtures to enable rapid screening of a broad range of solvents for this chemistry. Coupled with the American Chemical Society Pharmaceutical Roundtable (ACSPR) solvent tool, we identified several attractive replacements for chlorinated solvents. Selected catalysts for NT were compared and contrasted using our HTE protocol, including silver supported by N-dentate ligands, dinuclear Rh complexes and Fe/Mn phthalocyanine catalysts.

Abstract
A variety of Huisgen cyclization or nitrene/carbene alkyne cascade reactions with different types of termination were investigated. Accessible nitrene precursors were assessed, and carbonazidates were found to be the only effective initiators. Solvents, terminal alkynyl substituents, and catalysts can all impact the reaction outcome. Study of the mechanism both computationally (by density functional theory) and experimentally revealed relevant intermediates and plausible reaction pathways.

Abstract
Photoredox-catalysed hydroxymethylation of β-ketoesters substituted by an allyl subunit on the α-position afforded directly the corresponding bicyclic lactones possessing both a hydroxy group and an unsaturation. A subsequent regioselective iodoetherification led to the formation of original [3.3.3] propellane structures. Substitution of the iodine atom by various nucleophiles afforded highly functionnalized structures including triazolomethyl derivatives.

Abstract
The diazotization of nitrosemicarbazide (1) resulted in the formation and isolation of nitrocarbamoyl azide (2), which was thoroughly characterized by spectroscopic and structural methods. This compound shows surprising stability but also high reactivity and sensitivity, with a melting point of 72 °C and a detonative decomposition point at 83 °C. In addition, five selected salts were synthesized by careful deprotonation. The decomposition mechanism of 2 in solution was investigated and could be clarified by performing experiments using methanol and hydrazine as trapping reagents. The energetic and physicochemical properties of all these compounds were investigated and classified.

Abstract
Unusual intermolecular trapping of esters by carbenes generated via a Huisgen cyclization/retroelectrocyclization/dediazotization cascade reaction is presented. β-Oxo-N-vinylimidates could be obtained in one step from propargyl carbonazidates. Mechanistic control experiments suggested reversible dipole formation by ester addition to the carbene, and nitrogen attack to the ester carbonyl was irreversibly followed by stereoselective decarboxylative elimination to give the Z-vinyl imidate. The cross-conjugated enone, imidate, and enamine functional groups in the β-oxo-N-vinylimidates offer novel syntheses of functionalized oxazoles.

Abstract
Polycyclic scaffolds are omnipresent in natural products and drugs, and the synthetic strategies and methods toward construction of these scaffolds are of particular importance. Compared to simple cyclic ring systems, polycyclic scaffolds have higher structure complexity and diversity, making them suitable for charting broader chemical space, yet bringing challenges for the syntheses. In this review, we surveyed progress in the past decade on synthetic methods for polycyclic natural product scaffolds, in which the key steps are one-pot reactions involving intermolecular or intramolecular alkyne annulation. Synthetic strategies of selected polycyclic carbocycles and heterocycles with at least three fused, bridged, or spiro rings are discussed with emphasis on the synthetic efficiency and product diversity. Recent examples containing newly developed synthetic concepts or toolkits such as collective and divergent total synthesis, gold catalysis, C–H functionalization, and dearomative cyclization are highlighted. Finally, several “privileged synthetic strategies” for “privileged polycyclic scaffolds” are summarized, with discussion of remained challenges and future perspectives.
