Abstract
A novel cross-coupling of thiol esters bearing an ortho-directing group and organostannanes is explored using stoichiometric copper carboxylate to mediate the coupling, generating ketones. When the imine is carefully selected, it is possible to couple boronic acids/esters as well as organostannanes. The coordination of copper to the ortho-imine directing group as well as the thiol ester activates the system, allowing the reaction to occur under mild conditions (50 °C). The reaction is the first reported base-free coupling on thiol esters and boronic esters. The second generation Liebeskind-Srogl reaction, an aerobic cross-coupling of S-acylthiosalicyamides and boronic acids, is a mild, base-free reaction that has been utilized to generate a variety of diverse ketones. Unfortunately, the reaction generates a stoichiometric amount of an undesired thioether byproduct. An investigation to prevent thioether formation was undertaken by altering the core structure of the S-acylthiosalicylamide as well as the ligand environment of the copper catalyst. Optimization of the reaction conditions provided a mild reaction for ketoconjugation, eliminating the undesired thioether byproduct in favor of the generation of benzoisothiazolone (BIT). The BIT byproduct could be recycled back to S-acythiosalicylamide by gentle reaction with triethylphosphite and carboxylic acid. This discovery allowed for the one-pot ketoconjugation of carboxylic acids and boronic acids. A variety of benzoisothiazolones (BITs) were tested as oxidation-reduction condensation catalysts for the formation of amide bonds from carboxylic acids and amines. It was found that a number of BITs proved effective as organocatalysts for the reaction, however, 4-pyridyl-N-isopropylbenzisothiazolone proved the most effective, providing high yields of the desired amides in 24 hours at 50 °C. The rate of oxidative closure of the reduced BIT was studied, and disulfide was found to form as an intermediate before closure to BIT occurred.
