Copper-mediated C3-cyanation of indoles by the combination of amine and ammonium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A copper-promoted C3-cyanation of both the free N-H and N-protected indoles by N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-ethane-1,2-diamine (TMEDA) and ammonium is achieved. The iminium ion acts as the intermediate in this transformation, which is sequentially electrophilically attacked by indole and H2O followed by hydrolyzation to form the aldehyde. Then the reaction between the aldehyde and ammonium afforded nitriles. The reaction employs O2 as a clean oxidant with good efficiency and functional group tolerance. Thus, it represents a facile and safe procedure leading to 3-cyano indoles.

Copper-mediated cyanation of indoles and electron-rich arenes using DMF as a single surrogate.
The copper-mediated cyanation of indoles with DMF as a single surrogate has been realized. This approach could be applied for the cyanation of some electron-rich arenes and aryl aldehydes as well. Aryl aldehydes were demonstrated to be the key intermediates in the cascade process of cyanation of indoles and electron-rich arenes.
متن کاملCopper-mediated transformation of organosilanes to nitriles with DMF and ammonium iodide.
Cyanation of aryl-, diaryldimethyl-, and styrylsilanes was developed for the first time under copper-mediated oxidative conditions using ammonium iodide and DMF as the combined source of nitrogen and carbon atom of the introduced cyano unit, respectively. The reaction was observed to proceed in a two-step process: initial conversion of organosilanes to their iodo intermediates and then cyanatio...
متن کاملInhibition of chickpea seedling copper amine oxidases by tetraethylenepentamine
Copper amine oxidases are important enzymes, which contribute to the regulation of mono- and polyamine levels. Each monomer contains one Cu(II) ion and 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine (TPQ) as cofactors. They catalyze the oxidative deamination of primary amines to aldehydes with a ping-pong mechanism consisting of a transamination. The mechanism is followed by the transfer of two electrons to mol...
