Modular Synthesis of 12-Diamine Derivatives via Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cyclization of Allylic Sulfamides

摘要

Allylic sulfamides undergo efficient aerobic oxidative cyclization at room temperature, mediated by a new Pd catalyst system consisting of 5% Pd(TFA)2/10% DMSO in THF. The synthetic utility of these reactions is enhanced by several features: (1) the sulfamide substrates are accessible in multi-gram scale from the corresponding allylic and primary amines, (2) the cyclic sulfamide products are readily converted to the corresponding 1,2-diamines upon treatment with LiAlH4, and (3) substrates derived from chiral allylic amines cyclize with very high levels of diastereoselectivity.
