Herein, we described a ruthenium catalyzed oxidation and C–C bond formation reaction of 2-alkyl or 2-aryl substituted indoles using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant. Coupled with cascade transformation, it provided a mild catalytic oxidation system for the synthesis of 2-indolylindolin-3-ones. The reaction could readily occur using RuCl3·3H2O as catalyst, and the target product was obtained with medium to high yield.

Simple reaction conditions and recyclable reagents are an irreplaceable advantage for environmentally friendly industrial applications. An environment friendly, recyclable and economic strategy was developed to synthesize diaryl chalcogenides by the CuCl2 catalyzed C-S bond formation reaction via iodobenzenes and benzenethiols/1,2-diphenyldisulfanes using N,N’-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (DMEDA) as ligand, base and solvent. For these reactions, especially the reactions of diiodobenzenes and aminobenzenethiols/disulfanediyldianilines, a range of substrates is compatible to give the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Both the reaction reagents of the catalytic system (CuCl2/DMEDA) are inexpensive, conveniently separable and recyclable for more than 5 cycles.

Background: Substituted piperazine heterocycles are among the most significant structural components of pharmaceuticals. N1/N4 substituted piperazine containing drugs and biological targets are ranked 3rd in the top most frequent nitrogen heterocycles in U.S. FDA approved drugs. The high demand of N1/N4 substituted piperazine containing biologically active compounds and U.S. FDA approved drugs, has prompted the development of Pd catalyzed C-N bond formation reactions for their synthesis. Buchwald-Hartwig reaction is the key tool for the synthesis of these compounds. Objective: This review provides strategies for Pd catalyzed C-N bond formation at N1/N4 of piperazine in the synthesis of drugs and biological targets with diverse use of catalyst-ligand system and reaction parameters. Conclusion: It is clear from the review that a vast amount of work has been done in the synthesis of N1/N4 substituted piperazine containing targets under the Pd catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amination of aryl halides by using different catalyst-ligand systems. These methods have become increasingly versatile as a result of innovation in catalyst design and improvements in reaction conditions. This review gives an overview of recent utilization of Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction in drug/target synthesis.

Searching for reaction in organic synthesis has been made much easier in the current age of computer databases. However, the dilemma now is which procedure one selects among the ocean of choices. Especially for novices in the laboratory, it becomes a daunting task to decide what reaction conditions to experiment with first in order to have the best chance of success. This collection intends to serve as an "older and wiser lab-mate" one could have by compiling many of the most commonly used experimental procedures in organic synthesis. With chapters that cover such topics as functional group manipulations, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation, Modern Organic Synthesis in the Laboratory will be useful for both graduate students and professors in organic chemistry and medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

Bimetallic bis-urea functionalized salen-aluminum catalysts have been developed for cyclic carbonate synthesis from epoxides and CO2. The urea moiety provides a bimetallic scaffold through hydrogen bonding, which expedites the cyclic carbonate formation reaction under mild reaction conditions. The turnover frequency (TOF) of the bis-urea salen Al catalyst is three times higher than that of a μ-oxo-bridged catalyst, and 13 times higher than that of a monomeric salen aluminum catalyst. The bimetallic reaction pathway is suggested based on urea additive studies and kinetic studies. Additionally, the X-ray crystal structure of a bis-urea salen Ni complex supports the self-assembly of the bis-urea salen metal complex through hydrogen bonding.

Two key factors bear on reaction rates for the conjugate addition of alkenyl boronic acids to heteroaryl-appended enones: the proximity of inductively electron-withdrawing heteroatoms to the site of bond formation and the resonance contribution of available heteroatom lone pairs to stabilize the developing positive charge at the enone β-position. For the former, the closer the heteroatom is to the enone β-carbon, the faster the reaction. For the latter, greater resonance stabilization of the benzylic cationic charge accelerates the reaction. Thus, reaction rates are increased by the closer proximity of inductive electron-withdrawing elements, but if resonance effects are involved, then increased rates are observed with electron-donating ability. Evidence for these trends in isomeric substrates is presented, and the application of these insights has allowed for reaction conditions that provide improved reactivity with previously problematic substrates.
