Cobalt-Catalyzed Oxidant-Free Spirocycle Synthesis by Liberation of Hydrogen

Abstract: The first example of oxidant-free cobalt-catalyzed synthesis of five-membered spirocycles is reported from benzimidates and maleimides utilizing nitrobenzene as promoter. In contrast to previously known cobalt-catalyzed oxidative C-H functionalization reactions, this transformation occurs efficiently in the absence of oxidant and is accompanied by liberation of hydrogen. The spiro-lactams were readily achieved by the hydrolysis of as-prepared spirocyclic compounds. The Cp*Rh(III) catalyst shows poor reactivity. Show more

“…Benzimidate, as a powerful traceless directing group, [6] has been frequently used for the synthesis of structurally diverse heterocycles through reacting with diverse coupling partners, [6] especially with different kinds of alkenes. [7] In 2016, Liu and co-workers demonstrated that ruthenium-catalyzed annulation of benzimidates and acrylates can construct the lactam derivatives (Scheme 1a). [7a] Later, Ackermann and coworkers reported the cascade CÀ H/NÀ H allylation of aryl imidates in the presence of low-cost cobalt(III) catalyst (Scheme 1b).…”

“…(1)].T he quinones played ad ual role as both one carbon component for the annulation and oxidant. Very recently,acobalt-catalyzed [4+ +1] cyclization of benzimidates with maleimides was also reported by Zhang et al [123] [Scheme 77, Eq. (2)].I ntriguingly,t his transformation occursi nt he absence of oxidantw ith the liberation of hydrogen instead.…”

“…In 2018, Zhang and his co‐workers have reported the synthesis of spirosuccinimide derivatives from benzimidates with maleimides in the presence of Cp*Co(CO)I 2 without having any auxiliary ligand . This methodology furnished spirosuccinimides in good to excellent yields without any silver oxidant and also liberates H 2 gas as a side product.…”
