From the start of a synthetic chemist's training, experiments are conducted based on recipes from textbooks and manuscripts that achieve clean reaction outcomes, allowing scientist to develop practical skills some chemical intuition. This procedure is often kept long into researcher's career, as new developed similar protocols, intuition-guided deviations through learning failed experiments. However, when attempting understand systems interest, it has been shown model-based, algorithm-based, miniaturized high-throughput techniques outperform human intuition optimization in much more time- material-efficient manner; this covered detail paper. As many chemists not exposed these undergraduate teaching, leads disproportionate number scientists wish optimize their reactions but unable use methodologies or simply unaware existence. review highlights basics, cutting-edge, modern well its relation process scale-up can thereby serve reference for inspired each techniques, detailing several respective applications.

Pyrazoles are an important class of heterocycles found in a wide range bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals. Pyrazole synthesis often requires hydrazine or related reagents where intact N–N bond is conservatively installed into pyrazole precursor fragment. Herein, we report the multicomponent oxidative coupling alkynes, nitriles, Ti imido complexes for multisubstituted pyrazoles. This modular method avoids potentially hazardous like hydrazine, instead forming final step via oxidation-induced on Ti. The mechanism this transformation has been studied in-depth through stoichiometric reactions key diazatitanacyclohexadiene intermediate, which can be accessed imidos with nitriles ring opening 2-imino-2H-azirines, direct metalation 4-azadiene-1-amine derivatives. critical reaction 2-electron rare example formal metal center, likely occurs electrocyclic analogous to Nazarov cyclization. Conveniently, these 2-electron-oxidized intermediates disproportionation 1-electron-oxidized species, allows utilization weak oxidants such as TEMPO

Synthesis of Pyrroles through the CuH-Catalyzed Coupling of Enynes and Nitriles

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 142(22), С. 9908 - 9914

Опубликована: Май 12, 2020

Herein, we describe an efficient method to prepare polysubstituted pyrroles via a copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed enyne-nitrile coupling reaction. This protocol accommodates both aromatic and aliphatic substituents broad range of functional groups, providing variety N-H in good yields with high regioselectivity. We propose that the Cu-based catalyst promotes initial reductive subsequent cyclization steps. Density theory (DFT) calculations were performed elucidate reaction mechanism.

Highly Regioselective Synthesis of Multisubstituted Pyrroles via Ag-Catalyzed [4+1C]^insert Cascade

ACS Catalysis, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 10(6), С. 3733 - 3740

Опубликована: Фев. 6, 2020

An efficient [4+1C]insert approach to the coupling of enaminones with donor/acceptor or donor/donor carbenes by AgOTf-catalyzed C–C bond carbenoid formal insertion/cyclization/[1,5]-shift cascade reaction was successfully developed, providing distinct chemo- and regioselective multisubstituted pyrroles. The plausible mechanism involves two catalytic cycles: in first one, silver ions regioselectively catalyze insertion reaction; second control cyclization [1,5]-shift reactions. This method not only provides convenience applies atom economy synthesis pyrroles but also presents an entry point for further pyrrole diversification via facile modification resulting 4H-pyrrole products, as displayed a short natural product lamellarin L.

Molecular Editing of Pyrroles via a Skeletal Recasting Strategy

ACS Central Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 9(9), С. 1758 - 1767

Heterocyclic scaffolds are commonly found in numerous biologically active molecules, therapeutic agents, and agrochemicals. To probe chemical space around heterocycles, many powerful molecular editing strategies have been devised. Versatile C-H functionalization allow for peripheral modifications of heterocyclic motifs, often being specific taking place at multiple sites. The past few years seen the quick emergence exciting "single-atom skeletal editing" strategies, through one-atom deletion or addition, enabling ring contraction/expansion structural diversification, as well scaffold hopping. construction heterocycles via deconstruction simple is unknown. Herein, we disclose a new method which name recasting strategy. Specifically, by tapping on 1,3-dipolar property azoalkenes, recast pyrroles to fully substituted pyrroles, phosphoric acid-promoted one-pot reaction consisting dearomative rearomative reconstruction steps. allows easy access synthetically challenging tetra-substituted otherwise difficult synthesize. Furthermore, construct N-N axial chirality our pyrrole products, accomplish facile synthesis anticancer drug, Sutent. potential application this other has also demonstrated.
