One-Pot Synthesis of Polycyclic Sultams Enabled by Gold-Catalyzed Hydroamination of o-Alkynylbenzenesulfonamides and Subsequent Iodine(III)-Mediated Counteranion-Assisted Intramolecular Annulation

Herein we present a facile and efficient one-pot synthetic protocol for the construction of polycyclic sultams. This protocol involves gold-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of o-alkynylbenzenesulfonamides followed by HTIB-mediated counteranion-assisted intramolecular annulation. The transformation tolerates a wide range of functional groups, resulting in the formation of highly functionalized and valuable polycyclic sultam skeletons in moderate to excellent yields. These polycyclic sultams are widely used as key building blocks in organic science.

Development and Application of a Recyclable High-Load Magnetic Co/C Hybrid ROMP-Derived Benzenesulfonyl Chloride Reagent and Utility of Corresponding Analogues

The development and application of high-load, recyclable magnetic Co/C hybrid ROMP-derived benzenesulfonyl chloride and analogues is reported. The regeneration and utility of these reagents in the methylation/alkylation of various carboxylic acids is demonstrated via efficient retrieval of the magnetic reagent with a neodymium magnet. Additional reactions employing the analogue sulfonic acid and in situ generated magnetic benzenesulfonyl azide are also reported.

Application of Silica-Supported Alkylating Reagents in a One-Pot, Sequential Protocol to Diverse Benzoxathiazepine 1,1-Dioxides

Applications of silica-ROMP reagents in a one-pot, sequential protocol have been developed for the synthesis of a variety of diverse benzoxathiazepine 1,1-dioxides. This protocol includes sulfonylation, intramolecular SNAr, alkylation with silica-supported oligomeric benzyl (Si-OBPn) and triazole (Si-OTPn) phosphates, and intermolecular SNAr addition with a number of secondary amines in one-pot to afford a variety of unique benzoxathiazepine 1,1-dioxides sultams in good to excellent yields.

Synthesis of High-Load, Hybrid Silica-Immobilized Heterocyclic Benzyl Phosphate (Si-OHBP) and Triazolyl Phosphate (Si-OHTP) Alkylating Reagents

The development of new ROMP-derived silica-immobilized heterocyclic phosphate reagents and their application in purification-free protocols is reported. Grafting of norbornenyl norbornenyl-functionalized (Nb-tagged) silica particles with functionalized Nb-tagged heterocyclic phosphate monomers efficiently yield high-load, hybrid silica-immobilized oligomeric heterobenzyl phosphates (Si-OHBP) and heterotriazolyl phosphates (Si-OHTP) as efficient alkylation agents. Applications of these reagents for the diversification of N-, O-, and S-nucleophilic species, for efficient heterobenzylation and hetero(triazolyl)methylation have been validated.

Silica-Supported Oligomeric Benzyl Phosphate (Si-OBP) and Triazole Phosphate (Si-OTP) Alkylating Reagents

The syntheses of silica-supported oligomeric benzyl phosphates (Si-OBP(n)) and triazole phosphates (Si-OTP(n)) using ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) for use as efficient alkylating reagents is reported. Ease of synthesis and grafting onto the surface of norbornenyl-tagged (Nb-tagged) silica particles has been demonstrated for benzyl phosphate and triazole phosphate monomers. It is shown that these silica polymer hybrid reagents, Si-OBP(n) and Si-OTP(n), can be used to carry out alkylation reactions with an array of different nucleophiles to afford the corresponding benzylated and (triazolyl)methylated products in good yield and high purity.

Diversity-oriented syntheses: coupling reactions between electron-deficient olefins and aryl aldehydes via C(sp2)-H functionalization

A diversity-oriented syntheses by coupling three electron-deficient olefins (vinyl sulfonamides, methacrylamides, and methyl acrylates, respectively) with aryl aldehydes via C(sp(2))-H functionalization were reported. These reactions gave four different skeletal products respectively under environment-friendly and mild conditions. All these reactions are highly regioselective and effective, very suitable for the preparation of synthetic building blocks and compound library, the results will enrich current coupling chemistry of olefins with aldehydes and can be applied to other chemistry areas as well.

Automated synthesis of a library of triazolated 1,2,5-thiadiazepane 1,1-dioxides via a double aza-Michael strategy

The construction of a 96-member library of triazolated 1,2,5-thiadiazepane 1,1-dioxides was performed on a Chemspeed Accelerator (SLT-100) automated parallel synthesis platform, culminating in the successful preparation of 94 out of 96 possible products. The key step, a one-pot, sequential elimination, double-aza-Michael reaction, and [3 + 2] Huisgen cycloaddition pathway has been automated and utilized in the production of two sets of triazolated sultam products.
