Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of cyclopropylamine NHP esters with (hetero)aryl halides is reported. This efficient protocol provides direct access to 1-arylcyclopropylamines, a bioisosteric motif commonly used in small molecule drug discovery. The reaction proceeds rapidly (<2 h) with excellent functional group tolerance and without requiring heat- or air-sensitive reagents. The method can also be extended to the arylation of four-membered strained rings. The NHP esters are easily obtained from the corresponding commercially available carboxylic acids in one step with high yields and no column chromatography.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
