ABSTRACT: A novel synthetic methodology was developed for the N-arylation of nitroenamine derivatives utilizing diaryliodonium triflates and copper(I) chloride as a catalyst. The procedure enables the easy aryl transfer from the hypervalent species under mild catalytic conditions with unusual heteroatom preference and high efficiency.

Moreover, some β-nitroenamine derivatives were determined to show insecticidal activity,19 such as imidacloprid, nytenpyram, or different halonicotinylimidazolidine and hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives (Scheme 1).

INTRODUCTION Construction of aromatic and heteroaromatic molecules with the utilization of copper catalyst is an important field of synthetic organic chemistry.1 Transformations including diaryliodonium salts2 have recently become an important and widespread research field as these reactants have been recognized as efficient electrophilic arylation reagents with a wide range of nucleophiles under both metal-free and metalcatalyzed conditions. Thanks to this fact, with the utilization of diaryliodonium compounds several transition-metal-free arylation processes were developed in the last decades for the functionalization of carbon,3 oxygen,4 nitrogen,5 and sulfur6 nucleophiles. Beside the transition metal free transformations, the comprehensive employment of diaryliodonium salts was described in copper-catalyzed reactions, such as C−H functionalizations7 and arylation-cyclization processes8 for the construction of diverse heterocyclic skeletons from electron rich substrates, such as alkenes, alkynes, and nitriles. The importance of the activation of carbon−carbon multiple bond in the presence of copper catalysts and electrophile reagents, such as diaryliodonium salts, is unquestionable as it enables variable functionalization via the introduction of aryl or heteroaryl moiety. We aimed to extend this methodology to other compounds having importance both from biologic and synthetic aspects. Therefore, we focused on β-nitroenamines, known as push−pull alkenes9 with the electron donating amino group and the electron withdrawing nitro group. Due to their diverse structure, β-nitroenamines are important building blocks in organic chemistry as they can serve as starting materials for the synthesis of many fused heterocyclic compounds.10 The versatile reactivity of β-nitroenamines has been demonstrated through several transformations, such as Michael additions,11 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition,12 nucleophilic © 2017 American Chemical Society

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Due to the widespread applications of β-nitroenamines in the fields of organic chemistry and biology, the study of the reactivity of this compound class could contribute to the development of novel transformations. In this context, the reactivity of β-nitroenamines via carbon−carbon double bond functionalization is well-documented11−17 and has preferential reactivity over the NH moiety in these types of reactions. The strong nucleophilic character of β-carbon enables the versatile functionalization of the carbon−carbon double bond in the presence of different electrophiles. Since diaryliodonium compounds serve as electrophilic arylation reagents, we aimed to explore the reactivity pattern of this ambident substrate toward the catalytically active highly electrophilic species generated from diaryliodonium salts and copper(I) catalyst (Scheme 2).

inorganic and organic bases in the reaction revealed that N,Ndiisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) and triethylamine (TEA) are suitable for the efficient reaction (entries 7−8), while the employment of lithium carbonate and potassium carbonate afforded moderate yields (entries 9−10). No reaction was observed in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and cesium carbonate (entries 11−12). When the activity of copper catalysts was studied we found that CuCl, CuBr, CuI, and (CH3CCN)4Cu(OTf) are suitable for the transformation (entries 7, 13−15). In the case of CuSO4 and Cu(OTf)2 85 and 89% conversions were reached (entries 16−17), while the reaction time was longer, when Cu and Cu(acac)2 were utilized as copper sources (entries 18−19). Additionally, the arylation reaction did not occur without catalyst (entry 20). The optimal base-catalyst amount was also examined and was found that the amount of CuCl can be reduced to 2.5 mol% by increasing the amount of base to 2 equiv, while 99% conversion was reached under this reaction conditions (entry 21). After finding the optimal reaction conditions, we focused to the study of the substrate scope of the developed method. (Z)N-(2-nitro-1-phenylvinyl)aniline (1a) was reacted with phenylmesityliodonium triflate (2a) using 2 equiv of DIPEA base and 2.5 mol % CuCl catalyst in DMF at 50 °C, and 3aa was obtained in 66% yield as 1:1 mixture of E- and Z-isomers (Scheme 3). In the presence of methyl group in the para position of the phenyl ring of the salt, the desired product (3ab) was isolated in 78% yield (as 7:3 mixture of E- and Zisomers). Attempted reactions with diaryliodonium salts

To achieve the arylation studies, we synthesized Z(nitroarylvinyl)anilines as model substrates from the appropriate nitroketones and anilines. In the corresponding nitroenamine derivatives the Z conformation was proved by the high value of the chemical shift belonging to the NH group in 1H NMR spectra. The molecule is stabilized by a chelate complex formed between the hydrogen of the NH group and the oxygen of the NO2 group.14,20 To optimize the reaction conditions, we chose (Z)-N-(2nitro-1-phenylvinyl)aniline (1a) as nitroenamine substrate and phenylmesityliodonium triflate (2a) as the aryl source. Their reaction was carried out at 50 °C for 3 h in the presence of various copper catalysts and bases.21 Contrary to the general reactivity of the nitroenamines, instead of the C-arylated product the N-arylated compound was isolated from the reaction mixture (based on 1H NMR measurements). The preferential reactivity of N-arylation over the C-functionalization with the employment of diaryliodonium salts was recently demonstrated on 2-pyridones22 and phenylanalinamides23 in toluene and dioxane solvents. In our case, the study of the influence of the selected solvent on the transformation showed that the arylation reaction is slower in methanol (MeOH), 1,2dichloro ethane (DCE), and toluene (67−82% conversion), and provides 86, 88, and 92% conversion in diethyl ether (Et2O), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), respectively (Table 1, entries 1−6). In contrast, 99% conversion was reached in 3 h when the reaction was conducted in dimethylformamide (DMF, entry 7). Investigation of different 11753

hindered isopropyl group on of the phenyl group of the diaryliodonium salt also allowed the formation of the desired product (3af), but only in 16% yield. The meta-bromo phenylation underwent in this transformation, providing the products 3hg in 24% yield. The heteroarylation is feasible by the utilization of mesityl (mpiridyl) iodonoium salt. Herein, we implemented the introduction of 3-pyridyl group to nitrogen center and the desired products (3fh) formed. In continuation of the study of the substrate scope, we examined the reactivity of additional nitroenamine substrates in the arylation reaction. We synthesized several nitroenamines (1d−1o) equipped with different substituents both on the aryl groups of the aniline and the nitroolefin moiety and we reacted them with phenylmesityliodonium triflate (Scheme 4). When the aryl group attached to the nitrogen of the nitroenamine (1d) was equipped with two electron donating methyl groups, the appropriate product (3da) was isolated (as 5:3 mixture of E- and Z-isomers) in high yield (88%). Utilizing the nitroenamine substrate (1f) bearing halogens on the aryl group of the aniline moiety in the arylation reaction, we were able to prepare product 3fa (in 1:1 ratio of E- and Z-isomers) in moderate yield (51%). When we changed the electronic properties of the nitroenamine using substrate 1g equipped with the electron withdrawing nitro group on the aniline part; the arylation reaction also occurred and led to product 3ga in 57% yield. Then, we examined the applicability of nitroenamine substrates (1h and 1i) bearing electron withdrawing nitro group on the phenyl ring of the nitroolefin and prepared from electronically different anilines in the arylation procedure. When the arylation was performed on nitroenamine 1h containing aryl group equipped with electron donating methyl groups, we could isolate product 3ha in 62% yield. The presence of halogen on the aryl group of the aniline moiety was also tolerated and nitroenamine 1i was transformed to the appropriate N-arylated compound (3ia) in moderate yield (42%). Next, we investigated the reactivity of nitroenamines (1j−1o) prepared from the chloro-substituted nitroketones and from the electronically different anilines. The presence of electron donating methyl groups in the aniline did not have negative impact on the reaction and nitroenamine 1j afforded the desired product (3ja) in good yield (74%). We were also able to isolate the corresponding N-arylated compound (3ka) in 61% yield (as 1:1 mixture of E- and Zisomers) from the substrate 1k equipped with chloro substituents on both aryl groups of the nitroenamine. The utilization of nitroenamine derivative (1l) bearing electron withdrawing nitro group in the aniline provided the appropriate product (3la) in 57% yield. Finally, the arylation procedure was also performed with substrates (1m−1o) equipped with electron rich tolyl group attached to the double bond of the nitroolefin. The reaction of (Z)-N-(2-nitro-1-(p-tolyl)vinyl)-Nphenylaniline (1m) with phenylmesityliodonium triflate provided the desired N-arylated compound (3ma) in 48% yield (as 1:1 mixture of E- and Z-isomers). When we employed substrate 1n substituted with methyl groups on both aryl groups of the nitroenamine, the corresponding product (3na) was isolated in 82% yield. The presence of halogen on the aryl group of the aniline was also tolerated and nitroenamine 1o afforded the desired product (3oa) in 58% yield. The possible mechanism of this unique N-arylation supposedly starts with the reaction of the copper(I) catalyst and the diaryliodonium salt. Based on the mechanistic

Additionally, the examination of the applicability of different arylmesityliodonium salts was also demonstrated on (Z)-N-(2-nitro-1-(4-nitrophenyl)vinyl)aniline (1b) as a more electron deficient substrate. When phenylmesityliodonium triflate (2a) was applied in the arylation procedure, the desired product (3ba) was obtained in 79% (as 7:3 mixture of E- and Z-isomers). The reaction of diaryliodonium salt bearing methyl substituent in the para position of the phenyl group gave the corresponding product (3bb) in 71% yield. Nitroenamine substrate 1b was converted to the corresponding N-arylated derivatives (3bc and 3 bd) in 47% and 69% yields with arylmesityliodonium salts having halogens such as Br or F on the aryl ring, Reaction of iodonium species containing COOEt group on its aryl ring in the para position and nitroenamine gave the appropriate product 3be in 54% yield (as 6:5 mixture of E- and Z-isomers). The reaction of the nitroenamine substrate 1c containing halogen in the para position of the phenyl ring of the nitroolefin moiety with phenylmesityliodonium triflate, product 3ca was isolated in 70% yield (in 14:11 ratio of E- and Z-isomers), while in the case of diaryliodonium salt bearing a para methyl or bromo substituent, the desired Narylated compounds (3cb and 3cc) were obtained (as 2:1 mixture of E- and Z-isomers) in good and moderate yields (80 and 55%), respectively.

In contrast to the known reactivity of this push−pull system toward electrophiles, we found an unexpected reactivity of nitroenamine substrates.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Methods. Arylation reactions of substrates 1a−1o with the appropriate iodonium salt (2a−2i) were performed under nitrogen atmosphere. All solvents used were distilled using standard methods. meta-Chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) was dried under high vacuum at room temperature and was stored under argon. Unless otherwise noted, all reagents were ordered and used without further purification. 1 H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 300, 250 and 75, 62.5 MHz using CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as solvent. Chemical shifts are given in ppm relative to TMS for CDCl3, or the residual solvent peak of DMSO as internal standards. Coupling constants (J) are reported in hertz (Hz). Infrared spectra were recorded on a single-reflection diamond ATR spectrometer as solids or thin films. In the IR spectra, only the strongest/structurally most important peaks (ν, cm−1) are listed. HRMS data for new compounds were obtained using a Q-TQF high-resolution mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ion source. The measured melting points are uncorrected.
