Regioselective Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of N‐Heterocycles toward Functionalized Quinolines, Phenanthrolines, and Indoles

Abstract: A new strategy has been developed for the oxidant- and base-free dehydrogenative coupling of N-heterocycles at mild conditions. Under the action of an iridium catalyst, N-heterocycles undergo multiple sp(3) CH activation steps, generating a nucleophilic enamine that reacts in situ with various electrophiles to give highly functionalized products. The dehydrogenative coupling can be cascaded with Friedel-Crafts addition, resulting in a double functionalization of the N-heterocycles.

“…Recently, the acceptorless dehydrogenation (AD) of primary amines to imines was shown to be an attractive method for their preparation as fewer side‐products are obtained under more inert conditions (with the release of H 2 ) . As this reaction is more thermodynamically challenging, the acceptorless dehydrogenation of primary amines has received less attention compared to that of N‐heterocycles, with the later reaction having been widely explored for hydrogen storage applications …”

“…Our groupr ecently demonstratedt hat iridacycle catalysts could also enable both the hydrogen-borrowing reaction and dehydrogenative coupling of amines and alcohols. [7] Here, we present ab inuclear Rh complex-catalyzedc hemoselective alkylation ando lefination of alkylnitriles with alcohols,w ith the selectivity controlled by simply alteringt he reaction atmosphere (Scheme 1, bottom).T he alkylation reaction performed under Ar is ah ydrogen-borrowingr eaction, whereas the olefinationr eaction underO 2 is adehydrogenativec oupling process.…”
