Selective electrochemical oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and preparation of mono/multi-carbonyl compounds

A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

Rapid assembly of α-ketoamides through a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids under mild conditions

A simple and practical method for α-ketoamide synthesis via a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions without an oxidant or an additive, showing good substrate scope and functional compatibility. Moreover, the applicability of this method was further demonstrated by the synthesis of various bioactive molecules and different application examples through a two-step one-pot operation.

Synthesis of aliphatic α-ketoamides from α-substituted methyl ketones: Via a Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidation

α-Ketoamides are an important key functional group and have been used as versatile and valuable intermediates and synthons in a variety of functional group transformations. Synthetic methods for making aryl α-ketoamides as drug candidates have been greatly improved through metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidations. However, the preparation of alkyl α-ketoamides through metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidations has not been reported because generating α-ketoamides from aliphatic ketones with two α-carbons theoretically provides two distinct α-ketoamides. Our strategy is to activate the α-carbon by introducing an N-substituent at one of the two α-positions. The key to this strategy is how heterocyclic compounds such as triazoles and imidazoles affect the selectivity of the synthesis of the alkyl α-ketoamides. From this basic concept, and by optimizing the reaction and elucidating the mechanism of the synthesis of aryl α-ketoamides via a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidation, we prepared fourteen aliphatic α-ketoamides in high yields (48-84%).
