Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Catalytic reactions represent an outstanding tool to access structurally-complex molecules of relevant interest for academia and industry. Often, sequential catalytic transformations lead to a high level of molecular sophistication that is hard to reach through the traditional organic chemistry. The use of readily available starting materials avoiding at the same time tedious separation steps increases the synthetic importance and the potentiality of these catalytic processes. The focus of this Special Issue is to present papers that cover the synthesis of a single compound or a family of molecules through a catalytic transformation, including metal- or organocatalyzed syntheses. All contributions on this topic are encouraged.

The complex structure of aminobenzylnaphthols can be easily obtained with the useful Betti reaction. These valuable compounds can give rise to chiral intermediates, that found wide application in asymmetric synthesis. 1-[(1S)-(4-Fluorophenyl)-((1′S)-1′-naphthalen-1-yl-ethylamino)-methyl]-naphthalen-2-ol 1 was treated with triflic anhydride to yield the corresponding (S,S)-triflate 2, which is a valuable intermediate in the future synthesis of aminophosphine, to be used in asymmetric catalysis. Preliminarily structural considerations based upon H(1)-NMR spectroscopy are also reported. Full article

Abstract
The synthesis of a novel uracil derivative, 3-cyclohexyl-6-phenyl-1-(p-tolyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (4), is reported via a four-component reaction involving an α-chloroketone (1), an aliphatic isocyanate (2), a primary aromatic amine (3) [...] Read more.
The synthesis of a novel uracil derivative, 3-cyclohexyl-6-phenyl-1-(p-tolyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (4), is reported via a four-component reaction involving an α-chloroketone (1), an aliphatic isocyanate (2), a primary aromatic amine (3) and carbon monoxide. The proposed reaction mechanism involves a Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of 2-chloro-1-phenylethan-1-one (1), leading to a β-ketoacylpalladium key intermediate, and, at the same time, in situ formation of non-symmetrical urea deriving from cyclohexyl isocyanate (2) and p-toluidine (3). After a chemo-selective acylation of the non-symmetrical urea and the subsequent cyclization of the acylated intermediate, 3-cyclohexyl-6-phenyl-1-(p-tolyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (4) is formed. Uracil derivative 4 was isolated in good yield (73%) and fully characterized by 1H, 13C, 2D 1H-13C HSQC and 2D 1H-13C HMBC NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and GC-MS spectrometry. Full article

The structure of the target compounds has been established by FTIR-ATR, Raman, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral analysis and EI/FAB/ESI mass spectrometry. Thermal properties of hydrazones 3a–3e were elucidated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and their purity by HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry. Synthesized compounds were found to exist as Z/E geometrical isomers about C=N bond and cis/trans amide conformers. Full article

A simple approach to synthesize 4b,5,6,9-tetrahydro-7H-dibenzo[c,e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepin- 7-one has been developed, based on a three-step transformation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)cyclopropane-1,1-diester. The key stage in this method is an intramolecular cross-coupling of 1-(2-bromobenzyl)-5-(2-bromophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one under continuous flow conditions in an H-Сube-Pro using commercially available supported Pd catalysts.

Efficient large-scale and feasible industrial synthesis of the 1-oxacephem core structure from 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) has been reported for several decades. Via the industrial synthesis route, a byproduct (compound 9) containing a butenolide unit was purified and characterized by NMR and HRMS in this work. It is worth noting that compound 9 is an entirely new compound. Additionally, a plausible mechanism and effects on the formation of 9 by different Lewis acids were proposed. The discovery of compound 9 could improve the purity of this feasible industrial synthesis and provide considerable cost savings. Full article

The title compound was prepared by the nucleophilic addition of hydroxylamine over 1-cyanoadamantane. The poor reactivity of the nitrile substrate, due to its scarcely electrophilic nature, prompted the need to employ several activating conditions. Energy supply via conventional heating, ultrasound, and microwave irradiation did not lead to product formation. Therefore, Lewis acid catalysis was attempted. Initial tests with ZnCl2 led to product formation in poor yields. Conversely, the use of AlCl3 led to the formation of the desired amidoxime in the moderate yield, which was further increased to an excellent yield by performing the reaction in a more concentrated medium. The structural identity of the title compound was proven by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). This compound was later employed as a starting material for the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives as potential 11β-HSD1 inhibitors. Full article

Abstract
The thus-far unknown ureic derivative dimethyl 2,2′-[carbonylbis(azanediyl)](2S,2′S)-bis[3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate] has been efficiently synthesized by enantiospecific oxidative carbonylation of readily available l-tyrosine methyl ester, using a very simple catalytic system (PdI2 in conjunction with KI) under relatively mild conditions (100 °C [...] Read more.
The thus-far unknown ureic derivative dimethyl 2,2′-[carbonylbis(azanediyl)](2S,2′S)-bis[3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate] has been efficiently synthesized by enantiospecific oxidative carbonylation of readily available l-tyrosine methyl ester, using a very simple catalytic system (PdI2 in conjunction with KI) under relatively mild conditions (100 °C for 5 h in DME as the solvent and under 20 atm of a 4:1 mixture CO-air).
