Synthesis of ,-Amino Nitriles from Carbonyl Compounds, Amines, and Trimethylsilyl Cyanide: Comparison between Catalyst-Free Conditions and the Presence of Tin Ion-Exchanged Montmorillonite

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2010
Jiacheng Wang
Abstract In the absence of catalysts, the three-component, one-pot synthesis of ,-amino nitriles proceeded using various aldehydes and ketones together with amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) in high yields under neat conditions at room temperature. The addition order of the reagents had a significant influence on the yields of the desired ,-amino nitriles. In contrast, when tin ion-exchanged montmorillonite (Sn-Mont), prepared by the ion-exchange of sodium montmorillonite (Na-Mont) with a tin tetrachloride solution, was used as a catalyst, the reaction rates significantly increased compared with those without catalysts, and the range of the applicable carbonyl compounds was also extended: structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heteroatom-containing carbonyl compounds, including sterically hindered ketones as well as aliphatic and aromatic amines, were converted into the desired ,-amino nitriles in good to excellent yields with short reaction times under mild conditions. Sn-Mont showed a better catalytic activity than proton or other metal ion-exchanged montmorillonites, supported SnO2 catalysts and the previously reported homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. The recovered catalyst was reused several times without loss of catalytic performance. Along with the expansion of the interlayer space of Sn-Mont, the strong Brønsted acid and Lewis acid nature of Sn-Mont derived from protons and SnO2 nanoparticles present in the interlayers of Sn-Mont likely played important and cooperative roles in the high catalytic activity.

Dichotomy of CC versus CN Bond Formation
Abstract In the presence of chiral catalysts derived from the same chiral hexadentate ligand and aluminium, zinc or titanium ions, the reaction between cyclohexene oxide and trimethylsilyl cyanide can be controlled to give predominantly either the nitrile (up to 99% ee) or the isonitrile product (up to 94% ee). The metal ion, ligand stereochemistry and base concentration all play a role in determining the product ratio. [source]

Catalytic 1,2-Dicyanation of Alkynes by Palladium(II) under Aerobic Conditions

Shigeru Arai
Abstract A stereoselective 1,2-dicyanation of various alkynes in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) by palladium(II) catalysis under aerobic conditions is investigated. This reaction includes two cyanation pathways, syn - and anti -cyanopalladation to alkynes that are activated by Pd(II). High syn -selectivity was observed in the reaction using terminal alkynes that have bulky substituents at a propargyl position and aliphatic internal alkynes. Furthermore, a dramatic acceleration was observed with substrates having an N -arenesulfonyl functionality at a propargyl position, this indicates that both sulfoxide and carbon-carbon triple bond act as Lewis bases to Pd(II).

Gold(III) Chloride-Catalyzed Diastereoselective Alkylation Reactions with Chiral Benzylic Acetates

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 7-8 2008
Philipp Rubenbauer
Abstract Gold(III) chloride was shown to be an efficient catalyst for the diastereoselective CC bond formation of various chiral para -methoxybenzylic acetates and different nucleophiles. All electrophilic acetates carried next to the reacting center a stereogenic carbon center bound to a functional group (FG), a methyl substituent and a proton. Selectivities were good (dr>80/20) in favor of the anti -product for FG=COOMe, NO2, CN and in favor of the syn -product for FG=SO2Et, PO(OEt)2. The reactions proceed most likely via a free carbocation, in which a face differentation is facilitated by a preferred conformation. Several arene nucleophiles were shown to be compatible with the catalysis conditions providing the corresponding substitution products in high yields (13 examples, 62,98%). Moreover, other nucleophiles (allyltrimethylsilane, trimethylsilyl cyanide, 2,2-dimethyl-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)butane, p -toluenesulfonamide, and acetylacetone) reacted with a representative chiral electrophile in a high yielding and diastereoselective fashion.

Enantioselective Cyanosilylation of Ketones Catalyzed by a Nitrogen-Containing Bifunctional Catalyst

Yan Xiong
Abstract An efficient and optically active, bifunctional tetraaza ligand (2S)- N -{(1R,2R)-2-[(S)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxamido]-1,2-diphenylethyl}pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide has been developed for the addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to ketones. The bifunctional catalyst system based on a monometallic titanium complex was found to be a highly enantioselective catalyst to provide O -TMS cyanohydrins with up to 94% ee. A possible transition state has been proposed to explain the origin of the activation and asymmetric inductivity. [source]


Organocatalytic synthesis of cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers by potassium 4-benzylpiperidinedithiocarbamate under solvent-free conditions

Mohammad G. Dekamin
Abstract Potassium 4-benzylpiperidinedithiocarbamate was found to be an efficient organocatalyst for facile addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to a wide variety of aldehydes and ketones to afford corresponding cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers in high to quantitative yields. The reaction proceeded smoothly by employing 2.0 mol% PBPDC loading under mild conditions at room temperature within a very short reaction time. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

Nucleophilic Cyclopropanation Reaction with Bis(iodozincio)methane by 1,4-Addition to ,,,-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 8 2009
Kenichi Nomura
Abstract Treatment of ,,,-unsaturated ketones with an electrophilic site at the ,-position in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide with bis(iodozincio)methane afforded the (Z)-silyl enol ether of the ,-cyclopropyl substituted ketone in good yields. The reaction proceeds by 1,4-addition to form an enolate, and its sequential intramolecular nucleophilic attack to an adjacent electrophilic site. The reaction of ,-ethoxycarbonyl-,,,-unsaturated ketone and bis(iodozincio)methane in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide afforded 1-ethoxy-1-trimethylsiloxycyclopropane derivatives, which can be regarded as the homoenolate equivalent. Additionally, reaction of the obtained homoenolate equivalents with imines give 1-(E)-alkenyl-2-(1-aminoalkyl)alkanols diastereoselectively. [source]
