Diastereoselective multicomponent phosphoramidate-aldehyde-dienophile (PAD) process for the synthesis of polysubstituted cyclohex-2-enyl-amine derivatives

Recent advances in metal directed C-H amidation/amination using sulfonyl azides and phosphoryl azides

Transition metal-catalyzed C-N bond formation reactions have gained popularity as a method for selectively transforming common C-H bonds into N-functionalized molecules. This approach is particularly useful for synthesizing aminated molecules, which require aminating reagents and amidated building blocks. Over the past two decades, significant advancements have been achieved in transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization, with organic azides emerging as promising amino sources and internal oxidants. This review focuses on recent developments in utilizing sulfonyl and phosphoryl azides as building blocks for directed intra- and intermolecular C-H functionalization reactions. Specifically, it discusses methods for synthesizing sulfonamidates and phosphoramidates using sulfonyl and phosphoryl azides, respectively. The article highlights the potential of C-H functionalization reactions with organic azides for efficiently and sustainably synthesizing N-functionalized molecules, providing valuable insights into the latest advancements in this field.

Four-component one-pot synthesis of novel dicyanoaniline anchored triazoles

A four-component reaction was developed by taking the advantage of the reactivity of the propargyl functional groups, residing on the primarily formed dicyanoaniline products. Various enolizable cyclic ketones were reacted with malononitrile and 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)benzaldehyde derivatives in an aqueous <i>t</i>-BuOH/NaOH medium, and the resulting dicyanoanilines were subjected to a subsequent in situ click reaction to afford the final dicyanoaniline-anchored-triazole products. The enhanced photophysical properties of the novel products are under current study.

Opening up the Toolbox: Synthesis and Mechanisms of Phosphoramidates

This review covers the main synthetic routes to and the corresponding mechanisms of phosphoramidate formation. The synthetic routes can be separated into six categories: salt elimination, oxidative cross-coupling, azide, reduction, hydrophosphinylation, and phosphoramidate-aldehyde-dienophile (PAD). Examples of some important compounds synthesized through these routes are provided. As an important class of organophosphorus compounds, the applications of phosphoramidate compounds, are also briefly introduced.
