路易斯碱催化还原胺化反应研究

胺及其衍生物是很多重要生物活性分子的结构单元，是合成天然产物和手性药物的重要中间体。 直接还原胺化由于其合成步骤简单而成为制备二级胺和三级胺的简便方法。为了发展一种较为简便的直接还原胺化反应，我们把研究的重点放在开发一种简便实用的有机小分子催化方法上。由文献调研可知，现已报道的直接还原胺化方法大多是催化醛或酮与一级胺或者脂肪二级胺的直接还原胺化，而醛或酮与芳香二级胺的直接还原胺化却尚无报道。在本文中，我们发现用简单的四甲基乙二胺(TEMED)在室温下以二氯甲烷为溶剂即可催化三氯氢硅对酮和芳香二级胺之间的直接还原胺化反应，并取得了高达92%的收率。该反应条件温和，底物普适性广，各种类型的酮均可以与芳香二级胺进行直接还原胺化，并且得到比较满意的收率。 同时，我们从手性Sulfoximine出发，设计和合成了一系列的Sulfoximine类新衍生物，并将其应用于间接还原胺化反应中。遗憾的是我们并没有得到预期的不对称催化效果。 Amines and their derivatives are basic structural motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals and highly versatile building blocks for various organic substrates. Direct reductive amination (DRA) is a convenient method for the preparation of secondary and tertiary amines owing to its operational simplicity. In an effort to develop a simple and convenient procedure for direct reductive amination reaction, we focused our study on search for a mild and efficient organocatalytic system. In the literature, there are many reports concerning DRA between aldehydes or ketones and either primary amines or secondary aliphatic amines. But there are no reports concerning DRA between aldehydes or ketones and secondary aromatic amines. In this study, we have developed a highly practical method for the synthesis of tertiary amines by the direct reductive amination of ketones and secondary aromatic amines with tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) as the catalyst using HSiCl3 as the reducing agent in dichloromethane (affording up to 92% yield). This method can be carried out under mild conditions and is compatible with many functional groups. A variety of ketones were efficiently aminated with secondary aromatic amines to afford the corresponding amines in good to excellent yields. Starting from chiral sulfoximine, we designed and synthesized a series of new sulfoximine derivatives and tested their efficiencies as asymmetric organocatalysts for the reduction of imines, which, unfortunately, only exhibited low catalytic activity and enantioselectivity.

苯乙酮、氨甲酸酯参与的直接Mannich反应

Mannich反应是有机化学中最重要的碳-碳键形成反应，其产物是合成手性胺的通用中间体。间接Mannich反应使用不稳定的预制烯醇等当体，以未修饰的酮为给体的直接方法将增强Mannich反应的效率。针对低活性苯乙酮、氨甲酸酯参与的直接Mannich反应，研究工作将更具挑战性。 在前期实验中，我们发现Lewis酸-NbCl5可高效催化苯乙酮、芳香醛、芳香胺三组分直接Mannich反应，反应在环境温度下进行，高收率获得Mannich碱。这是以苯乙酮参与的Mannich反应中，实现催化量Lewis酸催化的首次报道。该方法高效且操作简单。但就底物而言，对易去保护、低活性的氨甲酸酯类底物收率较低。我们设想Brønst酸可解决此类底物问题。令人高兴的是，杂多酸可高效催化芳香酮、芳香醛、氨甲酸酯三组分直接Mannich反应，反应在环境温度下进行，高收率获得N-保护的β-氨基酮。该方法底物范围广泛，普适性强且催化剂便宜。 基于杂多酸在苯乙酮、氨甲酸酯为底物直接Mannich反应中的高效性，我们设想杂多酸与功能化的手性有机小分子-手性伯胺组装可解决催化剂回收问题，同时实现不对称催化。实验结果表明，非共价键固载手性伯胺不能有效催化苯乙酮为底物的直接Mannich反应，无论是对映选择性还是收率均较低。随后，我们以丙二酸酯及α-氨基砜为底物，以增强底物活性，同时绕开亚胺的不稳定性。辛可宁伯胺以氢键双活化底物，有效催化原位产生氨甲酸酯类亚胺与丙二酸酯的Mannich反应，高收率获得Mannich碱，ee值中等。 我们采用逐步解决问题的策略解决Mannich反应中的部分问题并在Lewis酸催化、Brønst酸催化、非共价键固载手性伯胺催化及手性伯胺氢键催化的直接Mannich反应中做出了有益探索。 The Mannich reactions are among the most fundamental carbon-carbon bond forming reactions in organic chemistry, and the reaction products are versatile intermediates in the synthesis of chiral amines. The indirect Mannich reaction uses preformed enolate equivalents. However the preformed enolates are unstable. Thus, a direct methodology based on unmodified ketone donors would enhance the efficiency of the Mannich reaction. Especially researches for the directed Mannich reactions of acetophenone, carbamate, which own lower activities, will be more challengeable. In the initial experiments, we found an efficient Lewis acid-NbCl5 which could catalyze three-component Mannich-type reaction of acetophenone, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines at ambient temperature in high yields. This is the first report that use catalytic amount of Lewis acid in the Mannich reactions of .acetophenone. The method reported is not only simple to operate but also efficient. However, as far as amines are concerned, the substrates of carbamates which can be deprotected more easily and less reactive than amines give low yields. We envisaged that Brønsted acid would resolve this problem. Pleasingly, heteropoly acids (HPA) efficiently catalyzed one-pot three-component Mannich reactions of aryl aldehydes, aryl ketones, and carbamates at ambient temperature and afforded the corresponding N-protected β-amino ketones in good to excellent yields. This method provides a novel and improved modification of three-component Mannich reactions in terms of a wide scope of aldehydes, ketones and carbamates, economic viability. Based on the high efficiency of heteropoly acids in the Mannich reaction of acetophenone and carbamates, we envisaged that if HPA were combined with functionalized chiral organocatalysts–chiral primary amines the assemblies may be able to act as recoverable asymmetric organocatalysts. The results of exprimentals showed that noncovalently supported heterogeneous chiral primary amine couldn’t effectively catalyze the Mannich reactions which own two the substrate of acetophenone regardless of enantioselectivity and yield. Then, we employed malonates and α-amido sulfones as substrates to enhance reactivity of substrates and circumvent the instability of imines. A moderately enantioselective and highly yield Mannich reaction with in situ generation of carbamate-protected imines from stable α-amido sulfones catalyzed by cinchonine primary amine catalyst was developed. It is noteworthy that cinchonine primary amine can dual activate substrates through H-bond activation and thus promote the reaction. We applied step-by-step-strategy to resolve some problems in the Mannich reactions and did some instructive explorations in Lewis acid catalysis, Brønst acid catalysis, noncovalently supported heterogeneous chiral primary amine catalysis and chiral primary amine as hydrogen-bond catalysis.

N-烷基氮杂糖及其衍生物的合成

多羟基哌啶类化合物通常称为氮杂糖，由于与糖结构的相似性，亚胺基环醇表现出强的糖苷酶和糖基转移酶抑制活性，可调控在生物识别及酶结构控制中起到重要作用的糖蛋白的生物合成与水解。因此这类抑制剂有望成为与糖代谢紊乱有关的疾病的治疗药物，如：抗糖尿病、抗肿瘤、抗溶酶体贮积症及抗病毒感染（包括艾滋病）等药物。正是由于氮杂糖的重要生物活性及诱人的药用开发前景，近年来，有关氮杂糖及其衍生物的合成、生物活性及应用研究备受关注。 本论文探索了一系列的作为潜在的迈克加成中间体1-C-乙酰甲基/甲氧羰基甲基-5-N-取代呋喃核糖碳苷衍生物在碱的作用下先发生β-消除反应，接着发生分子内的迈克加成反应生成1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物及1-C-甲氧羰基甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物的方法，该转变过程为先通过β-消除得到非环状的α/β不饱和共轭酮或酯的中间体，接着5-N-取代氨基与分子内的α/β不饱和共轭酮或酯发生分子内的1,4-亲核加成，其中，2'-酯的环加成立体选择性的得到β型1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物，而2'-酮的环加成得到立体异构体1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物。此外，该类N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物进一步脱除保护基，得到了一系列新的N-取代氮杂吡喃糖衍生物，拓展了氮杂吡喃糖碳苷分子库。 中间体1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-alkylated glycoribofuranoside的合成是由核糖为原料，通过对其结构修饰，在C-5氮原子上先引入不同的取代基，在C-1上引入乙酰甲基或甲氧羰基甲基。C-5取代氨基的引入通过两种方法：(a) 5-取代链状脂肪氨基可由链状的伯胺直接与5-甲磺酰基发生SN2亲核取代得到；(b) 5-取代芳香氨基可通过芳香醛与C-5氨基缩合再由硼氢化钠还原得到。2'-酰基的引入通过烯丙基氧化得到：2'-酮羰基由醋酸汞和琼斯试剂氧化得到；2'-酯基由高锰酸钾氧化再碘甲烷的作用下得到。 The polyhydroxylated piperidines, commonly be called azasugars. Iminocyclitols and their derivatives have exhibited remarkable biological activity to inhibit glycosidase-processing enzymes, with resulting potential chemotherapeutic applications against diabetes, cancer, lysosomal storage disorders and viral infections including AIDS. Recently, because of the important biological activity and excellent foreground on pharmaceutical application, great attention has been attracted to the synthesis of the new derivatives and analogues. In this dissertation, 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-substituted-glycoribofuranosides, which used as latent substrates for intramolecular hetero-Michael addition, were converted to 2-ester and 2-ketone aza-C-glycopyranosides by base treatment. The transformation was achieved through β-elimination to an acyclic α/β-conjugated ketone or ester, followed by an intramolecular hetero-Michael addition by the 5-N-alkylated amino group. The 2-ester cycloaddition was highly stereoselective in favor of an equatorial 1-C-substitution while the 2-ketone cycloaddition was produced a pair of stereoisomers of 2′-ketonyl aza-C-glycoside. Additionally, the resultant different N-alkylated aza-C-glycopyranosides could be further prepared for various azasugar library constructions by removal of protecting groups. Synthesis of the key intermediate 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-alkylated glycoribo- furanoside involved the introduction of 5-substituted amino and 1-C-2′-oxoalkyl groups from D-ribose. The 5-alkylated amino was introduced through two methods: (a) the 5-aliphatic series amino synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of 5-mesylate using neat ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, and hexylamine, (b) the 5-aromatic series amino synthesized by various aromatic aldehydes with C-5 amino under NaBH4 reduction. The 1-C-2′-oxoalkyl groups were introduced through oxidation of the ally group: the 1-C-allyl group was oxidized with Hg(OAc)2 and Jones reagent to the 2-ketonyl C-glycoside; the 1-C-allyl group was oxidized with KMnO4 and CH3I/NaHCO3 to 1-C-methyl acetate glycoside.

The PPh3 ligand modified Rh/SiO2 catalyst for hydroformylation of olefins

A novel family of hybrid catalyst with high turnover frequency (TOF) and high selectivity towards aldehydes for hydroformylation of olefins could be successfully approached through direct coordination with the PPh3 ligand to the highly dispersed Rh metal particle precursors. A further advantage is that the catalyst is easily prepared and recyclable. The results revealed that hydroformylation of olefins to aldehydes dominantly took place on the surface of PPh3 ligand modified Rh metal particles of the hybrid catalyst. It was found that the formation of chemical coordination bond between the Rh metal particles and the lone-pair electron of PPh3 was evident through the TG and P-31 NMR measurement. Moreover, the addition of PPh3 onto the Rh/SiO2 exert a significant influence on the adsorption state of reactant CO, H-2 and C2H4 on the PPh3-Rh/SiO2 sample, which probably lead to good catalytic performances for hydroformylation of olefins.

Recyclable heterogeneous Rh/SiO2 catalyst enhanced by organic PPh3 ligand

Heterogeneous PPh3-Rh/SiO2 catalysts for hydroformylation of olefins, prepared by direct doping of phosphine onto the heterogeneous Rh/SiO2 precursor, exhibited high activity and selectivity towards aldehydes, which originated from chemical coordination bond between the phosphine and Rh metal nantoparticles on the SiO2 support.

Degradation products formed during UV-irradiation of humic waters

Natural humic lake water and aqueous solutions of humic substances were treated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation (λ = 254 nm). The effects on the dissolved organic carbon content (DOC) and the absorbance at 254 nm (Abs254) and 460 nm (Abs460) were monitored and the identity and concentrations of gas chromatographable organic degradation products were determined. The DOC content and the (Abs254) of the humic solutions decreased continuously with increasing UV-dose. Several aromatic and aliphatic degradation products were identified and roughly quantified The concentrations of aromatic hydroxy carboxylic acids and hydroxy aldehydes increased when relatively low UV-doses were used, but declined following further irradiation. The concentrations of aliphatic dibasic acids increased over the full range of UV-doses

Gas-aerosol partitioning of semi volatile carbonyls in polluted atmosphere in Hachioji, Tokyo

Gaseous and particulate semi volatile carbonyls have been measured in urban air using an annular denuder sampling system. Three dicarbonyls, five aliphatic aldehydes and two hydroxy carbonyls were observed. Concentrations of other biogenic and anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), SO2, CO, NO2 and particle concentration were also measured. Estimated gas-aerosol equilibrium constants for the carbonyls showed an inverse correlation with the concentrations of anthropogenic pollutants such as benzene, isopentane and SO2. This suggests that the increase in the fraction of non-polar anthropogenic particles in the atmosphere could change the average property of the ambient aerosols and drive the gas particle equilibrium of the carbonyls to the gas phase. This trend is uncommon in remote forest air. In this study, we examined the factors controlling the equilibrium in the polluted atmosphere and show that there is a difference in gas-aerosol partition between polluted and clean air.

Hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over Pt/RHCs in supercritical carbon dioxide - Influence of support pretreatment and phase behavior

The selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) was investigated using rice husk-based porous carbon (RHCs) supported platinum catalysts in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2). The effects of surface chemistry treatment of the support and the reaction phase behavior have been examined. The Pt/H-RHCs (HNO3-pretreated) was more active for CAL hydrogenation compared with Pt/NH3 - RHCs (NH3 center dot H2O-pretreated). The Pt/RHCs catalyst exhibited a higher selectivity to cinnamyl alcohol (COL) compared with commercial catalyst of Pt/C, which is relative to the micro - mesoporosity structure of the RHCs.

Novel Route to 2-Trifluoromethylated Benzofurans

A novel route for the synthesis of a variety of 2-trifluoromethylbenzofurans is reported. By selection of solvents, the key intermediates, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropenyl phenyl acetates, were cyclized either to give 2-trifluoromethyl-substituted benzofurans or to yield trifluoromethyl modified o-alkynylphenols. The latter intermediates could also be cyclized to give 3-iodo-2-trifluoromethyl-substituted benzofurans.

Reaction Mechanism of Palladium-Catalyzed Silastannation of Allenes by Density Functional Theory

The reaction mechanism of Pd(O)-catalyzed allenes silastannation reaction is investigated by the density functional method B3LYP. The overall reaction mechanism is examined. For the allene insertion step, the Pd-Si bond is preferred over the Pd-Sn bond. The electronic mechanism of the allene insertion into Pd-Si bond to form sigma-vinylpalladium (terminal-insertion) and sigma-allylpalladium (internal-insertion) insertion products is discussed ill terms of the electron donation and back-donation. It is found that the electron back-donation is significant for both terminal- and internal-insertion. During allene insertion into Pd-Si bond, internal-insertion is preferred over terminal-insertion. By using methylallene, the regio-selectivity for the monosubstituted allene insertion into Pd-Si and Pd-Sn bond is analyzed.

[4+2] Annulation - Convenient Synthesis of Substituted Dihydropyranones in Aqueous Media

A facile and convenient synthesis of dihydropyranones has been developed by a formal [4+2] annulation of readily available alpha-acetyl ketene S,S-acetals with various aldehydes, involving a tandem aldol reaction and conjugate addition-elimination reaction, in the presence of NaOH in water.

Selective hydrogenation of citral with transition metal complexes in supercritical carbon dioxide

The activity and selectivity of the transition metal complexes formed from Ru, Rh, Pd and Ni with triphenylphosphine (TPP) have been investigated for hydrogenation of citral in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)). High activities are obtained with Ru/TPP and Pd/TPP catalysts, and the overall activity is in the order of Pd approximate to Ru > Rh > Ni. The Ru/TPP complex is highly selective to the formation of unsaturated alcohols of geraniol and nerol. In contrast, the Pd/TPP catalyst is more selective to partially saturated aldehydes of citronellal. Furthermore, the influence of several parameters such as CO2 and H-2 pressures, N-2 pressure and reaction time has been discussed. CO2 pressure has a significant impact on the product distribution, and the selectivity for geraniol and nerol can be enhanced from 27% to 75% with increasing CO2 pressure from 6 to 16 MPa, while the selectivity for citronellol decreases from 70% to 20%. Striking changes in the conversion and product distribution in scCO(2) could be interpreted with variations in the phase behavior and the molecular interaction between CO2 and the substrate in the gas phase and in the liquid phase.
