A strategy for the stereoselective preparation of enantiomerically enriched cis-2,6-disubstituted piperazines from amino acid precursors is described. The target compounds are generated in 95-99% ee with good to excellent levels of diastereoselectivity (usually 14:1 to >20:1) using Pd-catalyzed carboamination reactions between aryl or alkenyl halides and substituted ethylenediamine derivatives to form the heterocyclic rings. The synthesis requires only 4-5 steps from commercially available amino acids, and allows for the modular construction of piperazines bearing different substituents at N(1), N(4), C(2), and C(6). The use of this strategy for the construction of 2,3-disubstituted piperazines, fused bicyclic piperazines, and tetrahydroquinoxalines is also reported. In addition, the mechanism of the key carboamination reactions are discussed, and new models that predict and explain the stereochemical outcome of these transformations are presented.

Regioselective intermolecular carboamination of allylamines nucleopalladation: empowering three-component synthesis of vicinal diamines.

An intermolecular carboamination reaction of allyl amines under Pd(ii)-catalysis is reported, expediting the synthesis of valuable vicinal diamines embedded in a functionally enriched linear carbon framework with high yields and exclusive Markovnikov selectivity. Central to our approach is the strategic use of a removable picolinamide auxiliary, which directs the regioselectivity during aminopalladation and stabilizes the crucial 5,5-palladacycle intermediate. This stabilization facilitates oxidative addition to carbon electrophiles, enabling the simultaneous incorporation of diverse aryl/styryl groups as well as important amine motifs, such as sulfoximines and anilines, across carbon-carbon double bonds.

Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of aryl sulfonyl ureas and from -amino pyridinium ylides and aryl isocyanates. -Aminopyridinium ylides are synthesized via blue light-emitting diode irradiation of pyridine/isoquinoline and appropriate iminoiodinanes. The strategy involved a hitherto unknown carboamination of imine moieties (of aryl isocyanates) via a three-component reaction of pyridine derivatives/isoquinoline , -aryl sulfonyl iminoiodinanes , and numerous aryl isocyanates at room temperature in 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran to afford the target compounds in moderate to excellent yields.

A nickel-catalyzed three-component carboamination of unactivated alkenes with organoboronic acids and anthranils has been achieved for the expedient synthesis of δ-aryl and γ-amino acid derivatives. The 8-aminoquinoline (AQ) directing group is crucial for the success of the reaction, and anthranil serves as an arylnitrene precursor in this conversion. This method features mild reaction conditions, good chemo- and regioselectivity, and a broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance.

Herein, we report mechanistic investigations into the Cu-catalyzed three-component carboamination of alkenes with α-halo carbonyls and aryl amines via an oxocarbenium intermediate. Monitoring the reaction reveals the formation of transient atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) intermediates with both electron-neutral and deficient vinyl arenes as well as unactivated alkenes. Based on our experimental studies and density functional theory calculations, the oxocarbenium is generated through atom transfer and subsequent intramolecular substitution.

Herein, the work demonstrates an electrochemically paired electrolysis approach facilitating the efficient achievement of the electrooxidative 1,3-oxo/carboamination of arylcyclopropanes under mild conditions. The formation of 1,3-arylamination of arylcyclopropanes involves commercially available amine redox mediators through a radical-radical process. In addition, the successful execution of β-amino ketones also occurs under atmospheric conditions.
