Selection of boron reagents for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling

 Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling is arguably the most widely-applied transition metal catalysed carbon–carbon bond forming reaction to date. Its success originates from a combination of exceptionally mild and functional group tolerant reaction conditions, with a relatively stable, readily prepared and generally environmentally benign organoboron reagent. A variety of such reagents have been developed for the process, with properties that have been tailored for application under specific SM coupling conditions. This review analyses the seven main classes of boron reagent that have been developed. The general physical and chemical properties of each class of reagent are evaluated with special emphasis on the currently understood mechanisms of transmetalation. The methods to prepare each reagent are outlined, followed by example applications in SM coupling.

Conversion of sugars to ethylene glycol with nickel tungsten carbide

 in a fed-batch reactor: high productivity and reaction 

network elucidation

 

 http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2013/GC/C3GC41431K?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2FGC+%28RSC+-+Green+Chem.+latest+articles%29#!divAbstract

 

 

 Bifunctional nickel tungsten carbide catalysis was used for the conversion of aqueous sugar

 solutions into short-chain polyols such as ethylene glycol. It is shown that very concentrated sugar 

solutions, viz. up to 0.2 kg L⁻¹, can be converted without loss of ethylene glycol selectivity 

by gradually feeding the sugar solution. Detailed investigation of the reaction network

 shows that, under the applied reaction conditions, glucose is converted via a retro-aldol

 reaction into glycol aldehyde, which is further transformed into ethylene glycol by hydrogenation. 

The main byproducts are sorbitol, erythritol, glycerol and 1,2-propanediol. 

They are formed through a series of unwanted side reactions including 

hydrogenation, isomerisation, hydrogenolysis and dehydration. 

Hydrogenolysis of sorbitol is only a minor source of ethylene glycol. To assess the 

relevance of the fed-batch system in biomass conversions, both the influence of the

 catalyst composition and the reactor setup parameters like temperature, pressure 

and glucose addition rate were optimized, culminating in ethylene glycol yields up to 66% and

 separately, volume productivities of nearly 300 g_EG L⁻¹ h⁻¹.

Synthesize 7-azanorbornane on an industrial scale

Patent Number:	US 8404865
Title:	Process for preparing azabicyclic compounds
Inventor(s):	Ambhaikar, Narendra Bhalchandra; Bear, Brian Richard; Fanning, Lev T. D.; Hughes, Robert; Littler, Benjamin
Patent Assignee(s):	Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, USA
Source:	U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ., 8pp. CODEN: USXXCO
Language:	English
Abstract:The present invention relates to a process for prepg. azabicyclic compds. that are useful intermediates for synthesizing pharmaceutical compds. or salts thereof.  Thus, azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane hydrochloride (I·HCl) was prepd. from trans-4-aminocyclohexanol via N-protection with Boc2O in CH2Cl2 contg. Et3N; mesylation with MsCl in CH2Cl2 contg. Et3N; N-deprotection with CF3CO2H; cyclization with aq. NaOH; and treatment with http://www.google.com.mx/patents/US8404865 view patent 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes are useful intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds and salts thereof. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,117,889 and 6,060,473, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety

 Despite the title of N. B. Ambhaikar and co-inventors’ patent, “Process for preparing azabicyclic compounds”, it only describes a process for preparing 7-azanorbornane (5) and its HCl salt (6). The inventors state that compound 5 is an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, but they do not mention any.

The patent’s examples describe the preparation of 5 and its precursors on a kilogram scale. The first step is protecting the amino group in 1 by converting it to tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) derivative 2 with the anhydride (BOC)2O in the presence of Na2CO3. The product is isolated in 88.8% yield. The reaction can also be carried out with K2CO3, but the yield is not reported.

In the second step, 2 is treated with methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCl) in the presence of Et3N to form methanesulfonate 3 in 96.6% isolated yield. In step three, the BOC group is removed by adding CF3CO2H in two batches. The product is amine salt 4. The recovered salt contains excess CF3CO2H; and as a result, the yield appears to be >100%.

In the final stage, the CF3CO2H salt is treated with NaOH to cyclize it to the desired compound. Azanorbornane 5 is recovered by fractional distillation; treating the fractions with concd HCl gives hydrochloride salt 6. The salt is recovered as a solid, dried, and recrystallized from MeOH and MeOH–THF. Although the examples contain significant detail, the product’s final yield and purity are not reported.

The process is an efficient method for preparing 7-azanorbornane and its salt. It is clearly suitable for large-scale production. (Vertex Pharmaceuticals [Cambridge, MA]. US Patent 8,404,865, March 26, 2013; Keith Turner)

• • or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising contacting trans-4-aminocyclohexanol with Boc anhydride to produce a compound of formula A

• • contacting a compound of formula A with methanesulfonic acid to produce a compound of formula B

• • contacting a compound of formula B with trifluoroacetic acid to produce a compound of formula C

• • contacting a compound of formula C with hydroxide to produce a compound of formula 

In some embodiments, the invention includes a method of producing a compound of formula 7-azanorbornane Hydrocloride salt

• • The TFA salt of trans-4-aminocyclohexylmethanesulfonate (200 g, 650.9 mmol) was introduced into a 3-necked flask followed by the addition of water (2.200 L, 11 vol). NaOH (78.11 g, 1.953 mol, 3 eq) was slowly added, keeping the temperature of the reaction mixture below 25° C. and the mixture was stirred overnight. DCM (1.4 L, 7 vol) was then added and the mixture stirred, and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was then extracted a second time with DCM (1.4 L, 7 vol), and the DCM layers were combined. HCl (108.5 mL, 12M, 1.3020 mol, 2 eq) was then added, the mixture was stirred for 30 min and then concentrated on a rotary evaporator to dryness. Acetonitrile (10 vol) was added and the mixture concentrated. This was repeated 3 times until all trace water was azeotropically removed, to provide 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane hydrochloride. The crude product was recrystallized from acetonitrile (10 vol) to provide 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane hydrochloride as a colorless crystalline solid.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of N-heterocycles in medicinal chemistry

 

 

 The syntheses of almost all N-heterocycles have now been successfully performed under microwave irradiation and have provided significant improvements in the reaction time and efficiency. The peculiar properties of dielectric heating give it the ability to strongly promote cyclocondensation, cycloaddition and selective N-heterocycle functionalisation and it has, therefore, very much caught the attention of the medicinal chemistry community. In this work, we present an overview of recent literature and technical advances in this research field with the aim of providing insight into the applications of microwave-assisted synthesis in the preparation of the main drug categories that contain N-heterocycle scaffolds.

Abstract

A method for synthesizing substituted-quinolines using TMSOTf-catalyzed polystyrene-supported succinimidyl selenide-induced intramolecular seleno-arylation of tethered alkenes as a key step has been developed. The catalytic process provides an efficient method for the stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline possessing a seleno-functionality, followed by deprotection of tosyl group and syn-elimination of selenoxides to provide quinolines in good yields and purities.
