Article Abstract

With 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates as aryne precursors, an unprecedented three-component carboarylation reaction of unactivated imines with arynes and carbon nucleophiles has been developed to access a variety of functionalized tertiary amines under transition metal-free conditions. Suitable carbon nucleophiles include chloroform, acetonitrile, and methyl propiolate.

The absolute and relative configurations of bioactive chiral molecules are typically relevant to their biological properties. It is thus highly important and desirable to construct all possible stereoisomers of a lead candidate or a given bioactive natural compound. Synergistic dual catalysis has been recognized as a reliable synthetic strategy for a variety of predictable stereodivergent transformations.

Data Checking of Asymmetric Catalysis Literature Using a Graph Neural Network Approach.

The range of chemical databases available has dramatically increased in recent years, but the reliability and quality of their data are often negatively affected by human-error fidelity. The size of chemical databases can make manual data curation/checking of such sets time consuming; thus, automated tools to help this process are highly desirable. Herein, we propose the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to identifying potential stereochemical misassignments in the primary asymmetric catalysis literature.

The present study details the synthesis and characterization of a robust, monomeric Al-H aluminate supported by a tridentate -phenolate ligand, isolated as [][Li(THF)] and [][N(Bu)] salts, which were then exploited as CO hydroboration catalysts. As initial reactivity studies, it was observed that the nucleophilic Al-H anion in [][C] (C = countercation [Li(THF)] or [N(Bu)]) reacts fast with CO, to afford the corresponding Al-formate complexes [][C], which were isolated and structurally characterized. Such anions were then exploited as potential CO reduction catalysts.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

This work introduces a mild reaction-condition approach for the direct C-C bond cleavage of amides, resulting in the formation of benzouracil and carbamate structures. This method leverages a C-C bond cleavage strategy that enables nucleophilic addition to the amide carbonyl, involving a reactive spiro intermediate. A diverse range of chloroacetamides were synthesized and utilized as bifunctional starting materials in this transformation.
