Published: December 2014

An efficient approach to synthesize N-aryl pyrroles via Lewis acid-mediated 1,5-hydride shift and isomerization of 2-(3-pyrroline-1-yl)arylaldehydes has been achieved in up to 89% yield. This methodology is applicable to the synthesis of fluorazene derivatives as electron donor (D)/acceptor (A) molecules.

An asymmetric synthesis of C-N atropisomers with pyrrole, oxindole and succinimide moities was developed via organocatalytic desymmetric Michael addition of 3-pyrrolyloxindole with prochiral N-aryl maleimides. The C-N atropisomers were obtained in acceptable yields with high diastero- and enantioselectivities (>20 : 1 dr, up to >99 % ee). C-N Rotational energy barrier has also been determined.

A ruthenium-catalyzed reductive amination via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) has been used to perform an efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of N-aryl 2-formyl pyrroles decorated with a phosphine moiety positioned at the ortho' position. The strategy relies on the labilization of the stereogenic axis in the substrate facilitated by a transient Lewis acid-base interaction (LABI) between the carbonyl carbon and the phosphorus center. The reaction features broad substrate scope of aliphatic amines and N-aryl pyrrole scaffolds, and proceeds under very mild conditions to afford P,N atropisomers in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) for both diphenyl and dicyclohexylphosphino derivatives.

A straightforward route to 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-]pyrroles comprised of two electron-withdrawing quinoline or tetrazolo[1,5-]quinoline scaffolds has been developed. The versatile multicomponent reaction affording 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-]pyrroles combined with intramolecular direct arylation enables assembly of these products in just three steps from anilines with overall yields exceeding 30%. The planarized, ladder-type heteroacenes possess up to 14 conjugated rings.

Two new series of N-aryl acetamides 6a-o and benzyloxy benzylidenes 9a-p based 2-oxoindole derivatives were designed as potent antiproliferative multiple kinase inhibitors. The results of one-dose NCI antiproliferative screening for compounds 6a-o and 9a-p elucidated that the most promising antiproliferative scaffolds were 6f and 9f, which underwent five-dose testing. Notably, the amido congener 6f was the most potent derivative towards pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma MDA-PATC53 and PL45 cell lines (IC = 1.

School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai 519082, P. R. China.

A general and efficient CuI/-carbazolyl-1-pyrrole-2-carbohydrazide catalyst system was developed for the -arylation of cyclopropylamine using aryl bromides at room temperature. Herein, 5 mol % CuI and 5 mol % of the ligand were used to synthesize -aryl cyclopropylamines in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol was scaled up to produce the desired product at gram levels and has been generalized for C-N coupling between aryl bromides and amines at room temperature.
