ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to copper-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bond-forming methods. More specifically, it relates to the arylation, heteroarylation, and vinylation of compds. with nucleophilic N, O, and C atoms, by aryl and vinyl halides and sulfonates, using various Cu-based catalysts and suitable ligands. The methods provide an inexpensive alternative to corresponding palladium-catalyzed reactions. Thus, the invention includes copper-catalyzed methods of forming a carbon-nitrogen bond between the nitrogen atom of an amide or amine moiety and the activated carbon of an aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl halide or sulfonate. The invention provides similar copper-catalyzed reactions of acyl hydrazines (i.e., hydrazides). The invention further relates to copper-catalyzed arylation and vinylation of nitrogen-contg. heteroaroms., e.g., indole, pyrazole, and indazole, at nitrogen. Similarly, the invention provides copper-catalyzed arylation and vinylation of alcs. at the oxygen atom. Finally, the invention provides copper-catalyzed methods of forming a carbon-carbon bond between reactants with nucleophilic carbon atoms, e.g., an enolate or malonate anion, and the activated carbon of the aryl, heteroaryl, or vinyl halides or sulfonates. Importantly, all of the invention methods are relatively inexpensive to practice due to the low cost of the copper catalysts. For example, a claimed method for amines, amides, and hydrazides involves reaction of halides and sulfonates Z-X [Z = (un)substituted aryl, heteroaryl, or alkenyl; X = iodo, Br, Cl, alkylsulfonate, arylsulfonate] with amines and derivs. R-NH-R' [R = alkyl, cycloalkyl aralkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, formyl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, acylamino, etc.; R' = H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, (hetero)aralkyl, (hetero)aryl, formyl, acyl, amino, or amidino; with provisos] in the presence of a copper atom or ion and a ligand in the presence of a Bronsted base, yielding a corresponding arylated or vinylated product Z-NRR'. Thus, arylation of benzamide with allyl 4-iodobenzoate in dioxane solvent in the presence of CuI (catalyst), trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (ligand), and K3PO4 (base), at 110.degree. in a resealable Schlenk tube, gave the expected product I in 91% yield. Similarly, 2-pyrrolidinone was N-heteroarylated by 2-iodothiophene under the same conditions to give II in quant. yield. Indole was N-arylated by 4-bromotoluene to give III in 95% yield. A similar reaction of (E)-2-undecen-1-ol with (E)-1-iodo-1-decene using CuI, 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and Cs2CO3 in PhMe at 80.degree., gave 68% (E,E)-1-(dec-1-enyloxy)undec-2-ene.
