Site-selective nitrene transfer to di- and polyene substrates has been achieved using designed peptide-embedded bioxazoline ligands capable of binding copper. In model 1,3-diene substrates, the olefinic position proximal to a directing group was selectively functionalized. Additional studies indicate that this selectivity stems from non-covalent substrate-catalyst interactions. The peptide-mediated nitrene transfer was also applied to polyene natural product retinol and selective proximal functionalization allowed access to a -pyrroline modified retinoid.

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.

The development of artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers a potent approach to incorporate non-natural chemical reactions into biocatalysis. Here we report the assembly of Mn(salen)-based ArMs by embedding biotinylated Mn(salen) complexes into streptavidin (Sav) variants. Using commercially available nitrene and oxo transfer reagents, these biohybrid catalysts catalyzed the aziridination of alkenes and oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds with up to 19 and 146 turnover numbers.

Despite the prominence of C-N bond forming cross-coupling reactions as a strategy to assemble molecular fragments, aminative coupling approaches, in which two fragments are assembled directly at the heteroatom, represents a rarely exploited retrosynthetic strategy. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and implementation of an anomeric amide reagent capable of promoting highly regioselective aminative alkene-arene and alkene-alkene coupling reactions. This transformation follows a sequence of catalyst-free chloroamination, N-deprotection, and formal nitrene functionalization, all in one-pot.

An iron-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction for the rapid synthesis of sulfinamidines from readily available sulfenamides is reported. This method features mild conditions, short reaction times, and a broad substrate scope, allowing the preparation of a variety of sulfinamidines in good to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of the sulfinamidine products was further demonstrated through their conversion to other valuable sulfur(VI) compounds, such as sulfondiimidoyl fluorides, sulfinamidiate esters, and sulfonimidamides.

Nitrogen-heterocycles are privileged structures in both marketed drugs and natural products. On the other hand, C-H amination reactions furnish unconventional and straightforward approaches for the construction of C-N bonds. Yet, most of the known methods rely on precious metal catalysts.
