Site-predictable and chemoselective C–H bond functionalization reactions offer synthetically powerful strategies for the step-economic diversification of both feedstock fine chemicals. Many transition-metal-catalyzed methods have emerged selective activation bonds. However, challenges regio- chemoselectivity with application to highly complex molecules bearing significant functional group density diversity. As molecular complexity increases within structures risks catalyst intolerance limited applicability grow number groups potentially Lewis basic heteroatoms. Given abundance bonds already diversified such as pharmaceuticals, natural products, materials, design selection reaction conditions tolerant catalysts has proved critical successful direct functionalization. such, innovations formation carbon–carbon been discovered developed overcome these limitations.

Azines, such as pyridines, quinolines, pyrimidines, and pyridazines, are widespread components of pharmaceuticals. Their occurrence derives from a suite physiochemical properties that match key criteria in drug design is tunable by varying their substituents. Developments synthetic chemistry, therefore, directly impact these efforts, methods can install various groups azine C–H bonds particularly valuable. Furthermore, there growing interest late-stage functionalization (LSF) reactions focus on advanced candidate compounds often complex structures with multiple heterocycles, functional groups, reactive sites. Because factors electron-deficient nature the effects Lewis basic N atom, distinct arene counterparts, application LSF contexts difficult. However, have been many significant advances reactions, this review will describe progress, much which has occurred over past decade. It possible to categorize radical addition processes, metal-catalyzed activation transformations occurring via dearomatized intermediates.

Native Amides as Enabling Vehicles for Forging sp³–sp³ Architectures via Interrupted Deaminative Ni-Catalyzed Chain-Walking

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 145(7), С. 3869 - 3874

Опубликована: Фев. 8, 2023

Herein, we disclose an interrupted deaminative Ni-catalyzed chain-walking strategy that forges sp3-sp3 architectures at remote, yet previously unfunctionalized, methylene sp3 C-H sites enabled by the presence of native amides. This protocol is characterized its mild conditions and wide scope, including challenging substrate combinations. Site-selectivity can be dictated a judicious choice ligand, thus offering opportunity to enable bond formations are otherwise inaccessible in conventional events.
