Abstract:A biaryl banquet! Biphenyls with four ortho substituents, heteroaromatic compounds, iodinated biaryls, and medium rings containing biaryls are all readily synthesized by organocuprate oxidation. The utility of this new methodology is illustrated by the efficient synthesis of the medium‐ring core of sanguiin H‐5 (see scheme).
“…Su et al employed an organocuprate oxidative intramolecular biaryl-bond forming reaction to a halogenated benzoyl derivative (9). Treatment of 9 with isopropylmagnesium bromide, followed by transmetalation with CuBrSMe 2 and subsequent cuprate oxidation afforded 10 [30]. The reaction proceeded with complete diastereoselectivity without any dimeric side products.…”

“…Based on a double organocuprate oxidation strategy, Spring and coworkers reported the total synthesis of (±)-deoxyschizandrin in 2012 (Scheme 10) [67]. Symmetrical 1,3-diene 58 was prepared by the homo-coupling of alkenyl iodide 57 through a mild metalation, magnesio-cuprate transmetalation and subsequent oxidation using 61 as the oxidant [68]. Subsequent hydrogenation afforded 59 as a mixture of two diastereoisomers.…”

Lignans comprise a family of secondary metabolites existing widely in plants and also in human food sources. As important components, these compounds play remarkable roles in plants’ ecological functions as protection against herbivores and microorganisms. Meanwhile, foods rich in lignans have revealed potential to decrease of risk of cancers. To date, a number of promising bioactivities have been found for lignan natural products and their unnatural analogues, including antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, antiplatelet, phosphodiesterase inhibition, 5-lipoxygenase inhibition, HIV reverse transcription inhibition, cytotoxic activities, antioxidant activities, immunosuppressive activities and antiasthmatic activities. Therefore, the synthesis of this family and also their analogues have attracted widespread interest from the synthetic organic chemistry community. Herein, we outline advances in the synthesis of lignan natural products in the last decade.
“…[6] Inspired by the pioneering work of Yamamoto and Marouka, [7] Ricci and co-workers, [8] Lipshutz et al, [9] and others, [10] who described the oxidative coupling of amidocuprates or organo(cyano)cuprates using oxygen or 1,3dinitrobenzene derivatives as oxidants, we have now examined the oxidative amination reaction of various polyfunctional amidocuprates and developed an experimental procedure that allows the preparation of primary, secondary, as well as tertiary aromatic and heterocyclic amines.…”
A tolerant reaction: Functionalized tertiary amines have been prepared by the oxidative coupling of amidocuprates with chloranil used as the oxidant (see Scheme). A high tolerance of functional groups and insensitivity to steric hindrance characterize this general amination reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
