The Staudinger reaction of N(CH2CH2NR)3P [R = Me (1), Pr (2)] with 1 equiv of N3SO2C6H4Me-4 gave the ionic phosphazides [N(CH2CH2NR)3PN][SO2C6H4Me-4] [R = Me (3), R = Pr (5a)], and the same reaction of 2 with N3SO2C6H2Me3-2,4,6 gave the corresponding aryl sulfinite 5b. On the other hand, the reaction of 1 with 0.5 equiv of N3SO2Ar (Ar = C6H4Me-4) furnished the novel ionic phosphazide [[N(CH2CH2NMe)3P]2(mu-N3)][SO2Ar] (6). Data that shed light on the mechanistic pathway leading to 3 were obtained by low temperature 31P NMR spectroscopy. A crystal and molecular structure analysis of the phosphazide sulfonate [N(CH2CH2NMe)3PN3][SO3C6H4Me-4] (4), obtained by atmospheric oxidation of 3, indicated an ionic structure, the cationic part of which is stabilized by a transannular P-N bond. A crystal and molecular structure analysis of 6 also indicated an ionic structure in which the cation features two untransannulated N(CH2CH2NMe)3P cages bridged by an azido group in an eta 1: mu: eta 1 fashion. The reaction of P(NMe2)3 with N3SO2Ar (Ar = C6H4Me-4) in a 1:0.5 molar ratio furnished [[(Me2N)3P]2(mu-N3)][SO2-Ar] (11) in quantitative yield. On the other hand, the same reaction involving a 1:1 molar ratio of P(NMe2)3 and N3SO2Ar produced a mixture of 11, [(Me2N)3PN3][SO2Ar] (12), and the iminophosphorane (Me2N)3P=NSO2Ar (10). In contrast, the bicyclic tris(amino)phosphines MeC(CH2NMe)3P (7) and O=P(CH2NMe)3P (8) reacted with N3SO2-Ar (Ar = C6H4Me-4) to give the iminophosphorane MeC(CH2NMe)3P=NSO2Ar (14) (structured by X-ray means) and O=P(CH2NMe)3P=NSO2Ar (16) via the intermediate phosphazides MeC(CH2NMe)3PN3SO2Ar (13) and O=P(CH2NMe)3PN3SO2Ar (15), respectively. The variety of products obtained from the reactions of arylsulfonyl azides with proazaphosphatranes (1 and 2), acyclic P(NMe2)3, bicyclic tris(amino)phosphines 7 and 8 are rationalized in terms of steric and basicity variations among the phosphorus reagents.

Metal-Free Synthesis of Polysubstituted Triazoloquinoxalines Using Alkynols as the Key Building Blocks.

-Phenylenediamines, -nitroanilines, and Boc--phenylenediamines were converted to -Ts/Ns--phenylenediamines, followed by Mitsunobu alkylation with prop-2-yn-1-ols. After one-pot azidation, the resulting intermediates underwent Huisgen cycloaddition, which yielded Ts/Ns-dihydrotriazoloquinoxalines. Cleavage of the arylsulfonyl moiety provided (dihydro)triazoloquinoxalines with the possibility of modifying the position.

Inhibitors of monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are of interest for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders and other human pathologies. In this frame, the present work describes different synthetic strategies to obtain MAO inhibitors via the coupling of the aminocoumarin core with arylsulfonyl chlorides followed by copper azide-alkyne cycloaddition, leading to coumarin-sulfonamide-nitroindazolyl-triazole hybrids. The nitration position on the coumarin moiety was confirmed through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular electron density theory in order to elucidate the molecular mechanism and selectivity of the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

The synthesis and characterization of two novel 6-ethynyl-7-halogen substituted benzosiloxaboroles (Hal = F, Cl) is reported. The crystal structures of these compounds show a unique type of supramolecular assembly dictated by distinctive C(π)⋯B interactions resulting in the formation of columnar networks involving alternating ethynyl groups and boron atoms. The QTAIM, NBO and NCI analyses were performed in order to obtain a deeper quantitative insight into the nature of these interactions including energy and charge density distribution.

C-H bond amination is an effective way to obtain nitrogen-containing products. In this work, we demonstrate that myoglobin reconstituted with iron porphycene (rMb(FePc)) catalyzes intramolecular C(sp)-H bond amination of arylsulfonyl azides to yield corresponding sultam analogs. The total turnover number of rMb(FePc) is up to 5.

Iron-catalyzed asymmetric amination of C(sp )-H bonds is appealing for synthetic applications due to the biocompatibility and high earth abundance of iron, but examples of such reactions are sparse. Herein we describe chiral iron complexes of meso- and β-substituted-porphyrins that can catalyze asymmetric intramolecular C(sp )-H amination of aryl and arylsulfonyl azides to afford chiral indolines (29 examples) and benzofused cyclic sulfonamides (17 examples), respectively, with up to 93 % ee (yield: up to 99 %) using 410 nm light under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies, including DFT calculations, for the reactions of arylsulfonyl azides reveal that the Fe(NSO Ar) intermediate generated in situ under photochemical conditions reacts with the C(sp )-H bond through a stepwise hydrogen atom transfer/radical rebound mechanism, with enantioselectivity arising from cooperative noncovalent interactions between the Fe(NSO Ar) unit and the peripheral substituents of the chiral porphyrin scaffold.
