Copper‐Catalyzed Amination of Congested and Functionalized α‐Bromocarboxamides with either Amines or Ammonia at Room Temperature

Abstract: There are several reports on the synthesis of alkylamines, but most of the reported methods are not suitable for the synthesis of hindered amines. In this research, we found that a copper catalyst is effective for the formation of congested C-N bonds at room temperature. Control experiments revealed that a copper amide is a key intermediate. Moreover, when a chiral amine was used, a quaternary carbon stereogenic center was created with good selectivity.

“…A year later Nishikata et al reported their achievements of a copper-catalyzed amination of hindered tertiary alkyl α-bromoamides with either amines or ammonia (top Scheme 42). [68] Importantly, the method allowed for the facile preparation of congested and highly functionalized α-aminoamides through CÀ N bond formation at room temperature with no overalkylation detectable when using ammonia. Interestingly, the chiral racemic α-bromoamide A coupled with (R)-phenylglycine ethyl ester B affording the corresponding aminated product C with a chiral quaternary carbon center with high diastereoselectivity (dr = 82 : 18) (bottom Scheme 42).…”

“…In the course of our research on α‐bromocarbonyl compounds in the presence of a copper salt, [35, 36] we found that α‐bromocarboxamide ( 1 ) reacts with tertiary alkyl alcohol ( 2 ) as a tertiary alkyl source in the absence of copper salts to produce a highly congested ether bond (Scheme 2). We expected that the reactivity of the electrophiles would depend on the size of the three substituents on the halo‐substituted carbon atom (or the size of nucleophiles), but the corresponding product ( 3 ) was smoothly obtained with the aid of a carboxamide moiety (neighboring effect or formation of aziridinone).…”

“…Recently, we have prepared quaternary carbon centers via radical reactions by using α-bromocarbonyl compounds (a tertiary alkyl source) and olefins or heteroatoms in the presence of a copper catalyst [17][18][19]. During our studies, we found that combinations of alkynes and tertiary alkyl radicals generated from the reaction of a copper catalyst and an α-bromocarbonyl compound can undergo i) Sonogashira type couplings via an alkynyl-Cu intermediate [20], ii) cis-hydro tertiary alkylations via 1-alkenyl-Cu [21], and iii) trans-hydro tertiary alkylations via atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) [21] (Scheme 1, i-iii).…”
