Abstract

We disclose a novel, heterogeneous catalytic approach for selective coupling of C1 of N-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines with C3 of indoles in the presence of mesoporous manganese oxides. Our work involves a detailed mechanistic investigation of the reaction on the catalyst surface, backed by DFT computational studies, to understand the superior catalytic activity of manganese oxides.

Abstract

The asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-patchouli alcohol was accomplished in a concise manner. Key reactions include a highly diastereo- and enantioselective formal organocatalytic [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, a radical denitration reaction, and an oxidative carboxylation reaction. The formal synthesis of norpatchoulenol was achieved as well.

Abstract

A practical synthesis and detailed development process of 2H-1,3-benzoxazine derivatives catalyzed by aldimine and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is described. A broad range of substrates with diverse steric and electronic properties were explored. Aliphatic/aromatic/heteroaromatic substrates all proceed well under conditions which have been optimized into a robust, scalable process.

Abstract

Herein, catalyst-free 3-component reactions of naphthols, aldehydes, and tetrahydroisoquinolines to synthesize 1,3-oxazines is reported. The reaction is performed in H₂O in the presence of O₂ as the sole oxidant at 100 °C, which proceeds through the formation of 1-aminoalkyl-2-naphthols followed by selective α-C–H functionalization of tert-amine.

The whole apparatus was efficiently flushed with oxygen gas and then connected to a balloon filled with oxygen. After vigorous stirring at 100 oC for 12 h, water was removed under vacuum and purified the reaction mixture by column chromatography (100-200 mesh silica gel, hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain the product 4a as white solid. The other 1,3-oxazines were synthesized and purified by following the procedure described above

A convenient transformation of phenols into the corresponding aryl fluorosulfates is presented: the first protocol to completely circumvent direct handling of gaseous sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2). The proposed method employs 1,1′-sulfonyldiimidazole as a precursor to generate near-stoichiometric amounts of SO2F2 gas using a two-chamber reactor. With NMR studies, it was shown that this ex situ gas evolution is extremely rapid, and a variety of phenols and hydroxylated heteroarenes were fluorosulfated in good to excellent yields.
