Multicomponent Multicatalyst Reactions (MC)2R: One-Pot Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydroquinolinones


Multicomponent Multicatalyst Reactions (MC)2R: 
One-Pot Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydroquinolinones
Lei Zhang, Lorenzo Sonaglia, Jason Stacey, and Mark Lautens Org. Lett. 2013152128-2131. DOI:10.1021/ol4006008 .

A Rh/Pd/Cu catalyst system led to an efficient synthesis of dihydroquinolinones in one-pot, two operations. The reaction features the first triple metal-catalyzed transformations in one reaction vessel, without any intermediate workup. The conjugate-addition/amidation/amidation reaction sequence is highly modular, divergent, and practical.

Heterogeneous catalytic approaches in C-H activation reactions

Green Chem., 2016, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C6GC00385K, Critical Review
Stefano Santoro, Sergei I. Kozhushkov, Lutz Ackermann, Luigi Vaccaro
This review summarizes the development of user-friendly, recyclable and easily separable heterogeneous catalysts for C-H activation during the last decade until December 2015.

http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2016/GC/C6GC00385K?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2FGC+%28RSC+-+Green+Chem.+latest+articles%29#!divAbstract

Despite the undisputed advances and progress in metal-catalyzed C–H functionalizations, this atom-economical approach had thus far largely been developed with the aid of various metal catalysts that were operative in a homogeneous fashion. 

While thereby major progress was accomplished, these catalytic systems featured notable disadvantages, such as low catalyst recyclability. This review summarizes the development of user-friendly, recyclable and easily separable heterogeneous catalysts for C–H activation.

This strategy was characterized by a remarkably broad substrate scope, considerable levels of chemo- and site-selectivities and proved applicable to C–C as well as C–heteroatom formation processes. 

Thus, recyclable catalysts were established for arylations, hydroarylations, alkenylations, acylations, nitrogenations, oxygenations, or halogenations, among others. The rapid recent progress in selective heterogeneous C–H functionalizations during the last decade until December 2015 is reviewed.

N-Butylpyrrolidinone as a dipolar aprotic solvent for organic synthesis


Green Chem., 2016, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C6GC00932H, Paper

N-Butylpyrrolidinone (NBP) has been demonstrated as a suitable safer replacement solvent for N-Methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) in selected organic syntheses.

Dipolar aprotic solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidinone (or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)) are under increasing pressure from environmental regulation. NMP is a known reproductive toxin and has been placed on the EU “Substances of Very High Concern” list. Accordingly there is an urgent need for non-toxic alternatives to the dipolar aprotic solvents. N-Butylpyrrolidinone, although structurally similar to NMP, is not mutagenic or reprotoxic, yet retains many of the characteristics of a dipolar aprotic solvent. This work introduces N-butylpyrrolidinone as a new solvent for cross-coupling reactions and other syntheses typically requiring a conventional dipolar aprotic solvent.

 A practical and straightforward access to pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolines by molecular sieve mediated dehydrogenative [2 + 2 + 1] heteroannulation of N-(o-alkenylaryl)imines with aryldiazonium salts is described using a sp3-hybrid carbon atom as a one-carbon unit. The reaction enables the formation of three new chemical bonds, a C–C bond and two C–N bonds, in a single reaction and features simple operation and excellent functional group tolerance.

Continuous-Flow Process for the Synthesis of m-Nitrothioanisole


Abstract Image
A continuous-flow process for the preparation of m-nitrothioanisole has been set up. The starting material m-nitroaniline was diazotized to give diazonium chloride, followed by azo-coupling with sodium thiomethoxide to give 1-(methylthio)-2-(3-nitrophenyl)diazene, then dediazoniated to gain m-nitrothioanisole in high yield. The continuous-flow process minimized accumulation of the energetic intermediate diazonium salt and has a better capacity for adapting large-scale production. A solvent was introduced in the azo-coupling section to create a biphasic flow system. Side products were inhibited eminently in this flow process.

The library construction of highly functionalized and diverse chromenopyridinones was achieved by three-component reactions of various 4-hydroxycoumarins with ammonium acetate and 3-formylchromones under L-proline catalyzed solid-state melt conditions. The advantages of this protocol include the use of an inexpensive organocatalyst, avoidance of toxic organic solvents, environmentally benign conditions, an easy work-up procedure and good to excellent product yields. The optical properties of these π-expanded varieties of the synthesized chromenopyridinone derivatives were also examined. A chromeno[4,3-b]pyridine nucleus bearing an electron donating group exhibited strong emission in the blue-green region of the visible spectrum.
