The introduction of fluorine into organic molecules frequently leads to dramatic changes of their properties, such as solubility, metabolic stability, and bioavailability [1, 2]. Among these organofluorine molecules, fluorinated heterocycles are extensively used as important building blocks for the synthesis of anticholinergic, antiemetic, and antispastic drugs as well as enzyme inhibitors [3]. Thus, the efficient synthesis of these fluorinated heterocycles has attracted much attention [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13].
Palladium-catalyzed difunctionalization reactions are a powerful strategy for the direct synthesis of vicinal substituted molecules from simple olefin feedstock. Among these reactions, oxidation of the alkyl-Pd intermediate generated from the initial nucleopalladation of alkenes is essential for this difunctionalization, in which a hypervalent palladium complex has been proposed to respond to the C-X bond formation [14, 15]. In 2009, our group reported the first palladium-catalyzed intramolecular aminofluorination of unactivated alkenes, and C-F bond formation was obtained through the oxidative cleavage of the alkyl-Pd bond with a AgF/PhI(OPiv)2 system. The reaction gave a series of fluorinated piperidine products with high regioselectivity [15]. Recently, we found that the regioselectivity of the reaction could be completely switched by changing the protection group of nitrogen, and a range of tetrahydropyrroles containing the monofluoromethyl group were efficiently synthesized [17]. Intermolecular aminofluorination of styrene was also achieved using a similar catalytic system [18]. In addition, our group also demonstrated that the intermolecular aminofluorination of styenes can be achieved using N-fluorobenze nesulfonimide (NFSI) as the source of nitrogen and fluorine in the presence of a palladium catalyst [19, 20]. Since then, aminofluorination of alkenes has been extensively studied [21, 22, 23, 24]. For example, Li et al. [25] reported silver-catalyzed radical aminofluorination of unactivated alkenes with Selectfluor as the fluorination reagent. Li et al. [26], Wang et al. [27], and Zhang et al. [28] separately reported intramolecular aminofluorination reactions of alkenes under metal-free conditions, and the related asymme tric aminofluorination reaction was described by Nevado et al. [29] and Toste et al. [30]. Because of the value of cyclic sulfamides in medicinal chemistry [31, 32], we are interested in the construction of fluorinated heterocycles. We believe that palladium-catalyzed aminofluorination of N-alkenylsulfamide might be an efficient way to synthesize those compounds. Herein, we report the results of our study on the intramolecular aminofluorination of allylic sulfamides.
All commercially available compounds were used as received. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on an Agilent-400 MHz NMR spectrometer (400 MHz for 1H; 376 MHz for 19F; 100 MHz for 13C), and CDCl3 was purchased from J&K (99.8 atom % D, Shanghai, China). The chemical shifts (δ) are given in parts per million relative to the internal standards TMS (0 ppm for 1H) and CDCl3 (77.0 ppm for 13C). Flash column chromatography was performed on silica gel 60 (particle size 200-400 mesh ASTM, purchased from Yantai, China) and eluted with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate. All solvents were dried and purified according to the procedure in the “Purification of Laboratory Chemicals” [33]. AgF was purchased from Aldrich (>99.9%, Shanghai, China). 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) was purchased from TCI (>99.0%, Shanghai, China). Substrates 1a-1n were synthesized according to literature procedures [34].
In a dry glass tube, Pd(OAc)2 (2.2 mg, 0.01 mmol), AgF (76.2 mg, 0.6 mmol), PhI(OPiv)2 (121.8 mg, 0.3 mmol), and alkene (0.2 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (1.0 mL), and then HOAc (120 µL, 1 mol/L in toluene, 0.12 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The mixture was then filtered and the solid was washed with ethyl acetate. The combined filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with a gradient eluant of petroleum ether (or hexane) and ethyl acetate to give the products.

The initial study focused on the reaction of N- alkenylsulfamide 1a. When the reaction was carried out under our previous conditions [17], the aminofluorinated product 2a was obtained in 45% yield with high regioselectivity (Table 1, entry 1). In our previous study, addition of acidic additives, such as (CF3)2CHOH (HFIP), was helpful to improve aminofluorination with good mass balance [17]. Thus, HFIP was used as an additive, and the yield of 2a increased from 45% to 62% by addition of HFIP (5 equiv). However, a small amount of the 5-exo product 2a′ was obtained (less than 10%, entries 2-4). Furthermore, solvent screening showed that toluene was the best solvent, CH2Cl2 and (CH2Cl)2 also gave the desired product in moderate yields, acetonitrile was less effective, and dimethylformamide (DMF) was ineffective (entries 5-8). Inspired by the results of HFIP, a more acidic additive HOAc was tested. We found that HOAc exhibited similar behavior to HFIP, and the reaction gave product 2a in 64% yield. The amount of HOAc affected the yield of product 2a, and 0.6 equiv of HOAc was the best concentration (entries 9-14). Again, the reaction also gave the 5-exo product 2a′ in around 5% yield. It is worth noting that no reaction occurred in the absence of the palladium catalyst (entry 15).
With the optimized reaction conditions, the substrate scope was investigated (Table 2). As with the reaction of 1a (2a 55% yield, entry 1), the reactions of other substrates with different substituents on the nitrogen also proceeded smoothly. For instance, substrates 1b and 1c with p-methylbenzyl and p-fluorobenzyl substituents gave the corresponding products 2b and 2c in moderate yields (55% and 63% yield, respectively, entries 2 and 3). Substrate 1d with the n-butyl group gave product 2d in 51% yield (entry 4).
However, substrate 1e with the phenyl group failed to give the desired product (entry 5). Substrates synthesized from various N-substituted allylamines were also investigated. The reactions also gave the products in moderate yields. For example, substrates 1f with neopentyl and 1g with methyl proceeded smoothly to give 2f and 2g in 76% and 58% yields (entries 6 and 7). Substrate 1h with a phenyl group gave 2h in 70% yield (entry 8). Substrate 1i witha tert-butyl acetate group was also compatible with this transformation to give 2i in 59% yield (entry 9). For the 1,1-disubstituted substrates, the reaction of 1j gave product 2j in 61% yield (entry 10). Furthermore, for substrates with substituents in the allylic position, the reaction exhibited excellent diastereoselectivity to give a single trans-isomer albeit in low yield. The reactions of 1k and1l selectively produced 2k and 2l in 37% and 29% yields, and the reaction of 1m generated product 2m with excellent selectivity and moderate yield (entries 11-13). However, for the trisubstituted alkene substrate 1n, the reaction did not give the desired product 2n under the current conditions (entry 14).
Based on our previous results, a plausible mechanism is shown in Scheme 1. The reaction is initiated by nucleopalladation of the alkene to give alkyl-Pd(II) intermediates I and II, which can be oxidized by PhI(OPiv)2/AgF to form hypervalent alkyl-Pd-F intermediates [16, 17], and the subsequent reductive elimination could address the formation of the C-F bond. Similar to previously reported aminochlorination of alkenes [35], the reaction might involve reversible aminopalladation, and the oxidation of electron-rich intermediate I is faster than that of intermediate II, resulting in the favorable product being 2a.
In summary, we have developed a novel Pd-catalyzed aminofluorination reaction of unactivated alkenes containing the sulfamide group. The method provides a new approach to synthesize a variety of fluorinated cyclic sulfamide derivatives. HOAc played a crucial role in improving the reactivity to give reasonable yields.
在有机分子中引入氟原子能够极大地改变它们的性能, 如溶解性、代谢稳定性以及生物药效率[1, 2]. 在这些有机氟化物中, 氟代杂环作为重要的合成片段已被用于合成抗胆碱能药、止吐剂、镇痉剂以及一些酶抑制剂等[3]. 因此, 如何有效地合成这些氟代杂环引起了广泛地关注[4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13].
钯催化烯烃的双官能团化反应是直接将简单的烯烃原料转化为邻位双取代分子的一种快速有效的途径. 这些反应中, 烷基钯中间体的氧化对双官能团化反应极为重要, 反应通过烯烃的亲核钯化启动产生的烷基钯中间体, 最终碳-杂键的形成推测是经过高价钯络合物的还原消除[14, 15]. 在2009年, 我们小组报道了首例钯催化非活性烯烃的分子内胺氟化反应, 推测反应在氟化银/碘苯季戊酸(AgF/PhI(OPiv)2)条件下, 通过烷基碳-钯键的氧化断裂来形成碳-氟键; 该反应可以用于高区域选择性地合成一系列氟代哌啶类化合物[15]. 近期, 我们发现通过改变氮原子上的保护基可以完全改变反应的区域选择性, 有效地合成一系列含一氟亚甲基的四氢吡咯类化合物[17]. 利用该催化体系, 我们还实现了苯乙烯的分子间胺氟化反应[18]. 同时, 我们组在钯催化下, 利用N-氟代双苯环酰亚胺(NFSI)作为氮源和氟源, 也实现了苯乙烯的分子间胺氟化反应[19, 20]. 自此, 烯烃的胺氟化反应得到了广泛的研究. Li等[25]报道了利用Selectfluor作为氟化试剂, 银催化的非活性烯烃的胺氟化反应. Li等[26]、Wang等[27]和Zhang等[28]分别报道了非金属参与的分子内烯烃的胺氟化反应; 相应的不对称反应则由Nevado等[29]和Toste等[30]进行了报道. 鉴于环状磺酰胺在药物化学中的重要价值[31, 32], 我们希望发展合成这一类氟代杂环的有效方法, 其中通过钯催化烯丙基磺酰胺的氟胺化反应可能是合成这一类化合物的最有效的方法之一. 在此, 本文针对该工作进行报道.
所有商品化的化合物都是购买后直接使用; 1H和13C NMR谱通过安捷伦-400 MHz测试, 以氘代氯仿(CDCl3)作为溶剂, 分别以TMS (0 ppm)作为1H内标, CDCl3 (77.0 ppm)作为13C内标. 快速柱层析通过硅胶柱(200-400目, 中国烟台), 以石油醚/乙酸乙酯作为洗脱剂. 所有溶剂根据文献[33]进行干燥和纯化. CDCl3购买于J&K (99.8 atom% D, 上海, 中国), AgF购买于Aldrich (99.9%, 上海, 中国), 六氟异丙醇(HFIP)购买于TCI (99.0%, 上海, 中国), 底物1a-1n根据文献[34]步骤合成.
将Pd(OAc)2 (2.2 mg, 0.01 mmol), AgF (76.2 mg, 0.6 mmol), PhI(OPiv)2 (121.8 mg, 0.3 mmol)和底物烯烃(0.2 mmol)加入干燥的玻璃管中, 加入醋酸(120 µL, 1 mol/L, 0.12 mmol)的甲苯溶液(1 mL). 在室温下搅拌24 h后过滤, 固体用乙酸乙酯洗涤, 滤液真空浓缩后通过快速柱层析, 以石油醚/乙酸乙酯作为洗脱剂, 纯化得到产物.
我们首先以烯丙基磺酰胺1a为底物, 采用之前的胺氟化反应条件[17]进行探索反应, 以45%的收率高区域选择性地得到胺氟化产物2a (表1, 实验1). 在我们之前的研究中, 加入酸性添加剂, 如六氟异丙醇(HFIP)有利于提高胺氟化反应的物料平衡[17]. 因此, 我们在体系中加入HFIP作为添加剂, 当HFIP的添加量为5当量时, 产物2a的收率由45%提高至62%, 但是反应伴随着少量5-exo产物2a′生成, 收率小于10% (实验2-4). 通过溶剂筛选表明甲苯是最佳溶剂, 二氯甲烷和二氯乙烷中也能以中等收率得到目标产物, 但是乙腈效果很差, 在N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)中, 反应没有产物(实验5-8). 根据HFIP的结果, 我们尝试了酸性更强的醋酸作为添加剂. 我们发现与六氟异丙醇类似, 醋酸也能促进该反应, 产物2a收率达64%. 其中醋酸的添加量也对产物收率有明显影响, 以0.6当量为最佳, 但反应仍然有5%的5-exo产物2a′(实验9-14). 值得注意的是,在没有钯催化剂的条件下, 反应是不能发生的(实验15).
在上述最优条件下, 我们考察了该反应的底物普适性(表2). 与底物1a相比(生成2a, 收率55%, 实验1), 其它氮原子上含有不同取代基的底物也能很好地进行该反应. 例如, 含对甲基苄基底物1b和对氟苄基底物1c分别以中等的收率得到相应的2b和2c (收率分别为55%和63%, 实验2和3). 正丁基取代的底物1d以51%的收率得到产物2d (实验4), 但是苯基取代的底物1e在标准条件下无法得到目标产物(实验5). 随后考察了氮上不同取代的烯丙基胺底物, 例如氮上新戊基取代的底物1f和甲基取代的1g都能顺利进行, 分别以76%和58%的收率得到产物2f和2g (实验6和7), 氮上苯基取代的底物1h能以70%的收率给出目标产物2h (实验8). 含叔丁酯的底物1i也能在该催化体系中兼容, 目标产物2i的收率为59% (实验9). 我们也考察了1,1-双取代的烯烃1j, 相应产物2j的收率为61% (实验10). 此外, 对于烯丙基链上有取代基的底物, 反应能以优秀的非对映选择性得到单一的反式产物, 但是产率稍低; 比如底物1k和1l生成目标产物2k和2l的收率分别为37%和29%, 但是产物2m的收率可达中等(实验11-13). 然而, 对于三取代的烯烃1n, 在标准条件下未能生成产物(实验14).
基于以上结果, 我们推测反应可能机理如下(图式1): 反应首先通过烯烃的亲核钯化启动得到烷基钯中间体I和II, 接下来被AgF/PhI(OPiv)2氧化到高价烷基钯氟中间体[16, 17], 紧接着还原消除形成C-F键. 与我们之前报道的烯烃的胺氯化反应结果类似[35], 该反应也可能经历一个可逆的胺钯化, 其中相对富电子的中间体I的氧化远远快于中间体II, 因此, 反应有利于生成产物2a.
我们发展了一种新颖的钯催化非活性烯烃的胺氟化反应, 所采用的烯烃含有磺酰胺官能团, 该方法为合成一系列氟代的环状磺酰胺衍生物提供了新的途径. 醋酸的添加有利于提高反应活性, 生成产物的收率较高.
