Heteroatom Substitution at Amide Nitrogen—Resonance Reduction and HERON Reactions of Anomeric Amides molecules Review Heteroatom Substitution at Amide Nitrogen—Resonance Reduction and HERON Reactions of Anomeric Amides Stephen A. Glover * and Adam A. Rosser Department of Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 October 2018; Accepted: 24 October 2018; Published: 31 October 2018 Abstract: This review describes how resonance in amides is greatly affected upon substitution at nitrogen by two electronegative atoms. Nitrogen becomes strongly pyramidal and resonance stabilisation, evaluated computationally, can be reduced to as little as 50% that of N,N-dimethylacetamide. However, this occurs without significant twisting about the amide bond, which is borne out both experimentally and theoretically. In certain configurations, reduced resonance and pronounced anomeric effects between heteroatom substituents are instrumental in driving the HERON (Heteroatom Rearrangement On Nitrogen) reaction, in which the more electronegative atom migrates from nitrogen to the carbonyl carbon in concert with heterolysis of the amide bond, to generate acyl derivatives and heteroatom-substituted nitrenes. In other cases the anomeric effect facilitates SN1 and SN2 reactivity at the amide nitrogen. Keywords: amide resonance; anomeric effect; HERON reaction; pyramidal amides; physical organic chemistry; reaction mechanism 1. Introduction Amides are prevalent in a range of molecules such as peptides, proteins, lactams, and many synthetic polymers [1]. Generically, they are composed of both a carbonyl and an amino functional group, joined by a single bond between the carbon and nitrogen. The contemporary understanding of the resonance interaction between the nitrogen and the carbonyl in amides is that of an interaction between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the carbonyl, π*C=O, and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the amide nitrogen (N2pz) (Figure1). This molecular orbital model highlights the small contribution of the carbonyl oxygen to the LUMO, which indicates that limited charge transfer to oxygen occurs, in line with the resonance model presented in Figure2, which signifies that charge at oxygen is similar to that in polarized ketones or aldehydes and nitrogen lone pair density is transferred to electron deficient carbon rather than to oxygen. The major factor in the geometry of amides, and the restricted rotation about the amide bond, is the strong π-overlap between the nitrogen lone pair and the C2pz component of the LUMO, which dominates the π*C=O orbital, on account of the polarisation in the πC=O [2,3].

  • Organocatalytic Asymmetric N-Sulfonyl Amide C-N Bond Activation to Access Axially Chiral Biaryl Amino Acids
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14799-8 OPEN Organocatalytic asymmetric N-sulfonyl amide C-N bond activation to access axially chiral biaryl amino acids Guanjie Wang1, Qianqian Shi2, Wanyao Hu1, Tao Chen1, Yingying Guo1, Zhouli Hu1, Minghua Gong1, ✉ ✉ ✉ Jingcheng Guo1, Donghui Wei 2 , Zhenqian Fu 1,3 & Wei Huang1,3 1234567890():,; Amides are among the most fundamental functional groups and essential structural units, widely used in chemistry, biochemistry and material science. Amide synthesis and trans- formations is a topic of continuous interest in organic chemistry. However, direct catalytic asymmetric activation of amide C-N bonds still remains a long-standing challenge due to high stability of amide linkages. Herein, we describe an organocatalytic asymmetric amide C-N bonds cleavage of N-sulfonyl biaryl lactams under mild conditions, developing a general and practical method for atroposelective construction of axially chiral biaryl amino acids. A structurally diverse set of axially chiral biaryl amino acids are obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, a variety of axially chiral unsymmetrical biaryl organocatalysts are efficiently constructed from the resulting axially chiral biaryl amino acids by our present strategy, and show competitive outcomes in asymmetric reactions. 1 Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics & Institute of Advanced Materials, Jiangsu National Synergetic Innovation Center for Advanced Materials, Nanjing Tech University, 30 South Puzhu Road, Nanjing 211816, China. 2 College

  • Reliable Determination of Amidicity in Acyclic Amides and Lactams Stephen A
    Article pubs.acs.org/joc Reliable Determination of Amidicity in Acyclic Amides and Lactams Stephen A. Glover* and Adam A. Rosser Department of Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Two independent computational methods have been used for determination of amide resonance stabilization and amidicities relative to N,N-dimethylacetamide for a wide range of acyclic and cyclic amides. The first method utilizes carbonyl substitution nitrogen atom replacement (COSNAR). The second, new approach involves determination of the difference in amide resonance between N,N-dimethylacetamide and the target amide using an isodesmic trans-amidation process and is calibrated relative to 1-aza-2-adamantanone with zero amidicity and N,N-dimethylace- tamide with 100% amidicity. Results indicate excellent coherence between the methods, which must be regarded as more reliable than a recently reported approach to amidicities based upon enthalpies of hydrogenation. Data for acyclic planar and twisted amides are predictable on the basis of the degrees of pyramidalization at nitrogen and twisting about the C−N bonds. Monocyclic lactams are predicted to have amidicities at least as high as N,N-dimethylacetamide, and the β-lactam system is planar with greater amide resonance than that of N,N- dimethylacetamide. Bicyclic penam/em and cepham/em scaffolds lose some amidicity in line with the degree of strain-induced pyramidalization at the bridgehead nitrogen and twist about the amide bond, but the most puckered penem system still retains substantial amidicity equivalent to 73% that of N,N-dimethylacetamide. ■ INTRODUCTION completed by a third resonance form, III, with no C−N pi Amide linkages are ubiquitous in proteins, peptides, and natural character and on account of positive polarity at carbon and the or synthetic molecules and in most of these they possess, electronegativity of nitrogen, must be destabilizing.

De Borggraeve * Department of Chemistry, Molecular Design and Synthesis, KU Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200F, box 2404, 3001 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +32-16-32-7693 Received: 30 March 2019; Accepted: 23 May 2019; Published: 5 June 2019 Abstract: This review provides an overview of synthetic transformations that have been performed by both electro- and photoredox catalysis. Both toolboxes are evaluated and compared in their ability to enable said transformations. Analogies and distinctions are formulated to obtain a better understanding in both research areas. This knowledge can be used to conceptualize new methodological strategies for either of both approaches starting from the other. It was attempted to extract key components that can be used as guidelines to refine, complement and innovate these two disciplines of organic synthesis. Keywords: electrosynthesis; electrocatalysis; photocatalysis; photochemistry; electron transfer; redox catalysis; radical chemistry; organic synthesis; green chemistry 1. Introduction Both electrochemistry as well as photoredox catalysis have gone through a recent renaissance, bringing forth a whole range of both improved and new transformations previously thought impossible. In their growth, inspiration was found in older established radical chemistry, as well as from cross-pollination between the two toolboxes. In scientific discussion, photoredox catalysis and electrochemistry are often mentioned alongside each other. Nonetheless, no review has attempted a comparative evaluation of both fields in organic synthesis. Both research areas use electrons as reagents to generate open-shell radical intermediates. Because of the similar modes of action, many transformations have been translated from electrochemical to photoredox methodology and vice versa.

  • The Birth of Modern Chemistry
    The Birth of Modern Chemistry 3rd semester project, Fall 2008 NIB Group nr.5, House 13.2 Thomas Allan Rayner & Aiga Mackevica Supervisor: Torben Brauner Abstract Alchemy was a science practiced for more than two millennia up till the end of 18th century when it was replaced by modern chemistry, which is practiced up till this very day. The purpose of this report is to look into this shift and investigate whether this shift can be classified as a paradigm shift according to the famous philosopher Thomas Kuhn, who came up with a theory on the structure of scientific revolutions. In order to come to draw any kind of conclusions, the report summarizes and defines the criteria for what constitutes a paradigm, crisis and paradigm shift, which are all important in order to investigate the manner in which a paradigm shift occurs. The criteria are applied to the historical development of modern chemistry and alchemy as well as the transition between the two sciences. As a result, alchemy and modern chemistry satisfy the requirements and can be viewed as two different paradigms in a Kuhnian sense. However, it is debatable whether the shift from alchemy to modern chemistry can be called a paradigm shift. 2 Acknowledgments We would like to thank Torben Brauner for his guidance throughout the project period as our supervisor. We would also like to thank our opposing group – Paula Melo Paulon Hansen, Stine Hesselholt Sloth and their supervisor Ole Andersen for their advice and critique for our project. 3 Table of Contents 1.

  • Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions 175
    Chapter 4 Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions 175 Chapter 4 Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions Figure 4.1 Many modern rocket fuels are solid mixtures of substances combined in carefully measured amounts and ignited to yield a thrust-generating chemical reaction. (credit: modification of work by NASA) Chapter Outline 4.1 Writing and Balancing Chemical Equations 4.2 Classifying Chemical Reactions 4.3 Reaction Stoichiometry 4.4 Reaction Yields 4.5 Quantitative Chemical Analysis Introduction Solid-fuel rockets are a central feature in the world’s space exploration programs, including the new Space Launch System being developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to replace the retired Space Shuttle fleet (Figure 4.1). The engines of these rockets rely on carefully prepared solid mixtures of chemicals combined in precisely measured amounts. Igniting the mixture initiates a vigorous chemical reaction that rapidly generates large amounts of gaseous products. These gases are ejected from the rocket engine through its nozzle, providing the thrust needed to propel heavy payloads into space. Both the nature of this chemical reaction and the relationships between the amounts of the substances being consumed and produced by the reaction are critically important considerations that determine the success of the technology. This chapter will describe how to symbolize chemical reactions using chemical equations, how to classify some common chemical reactions by identifying patterns of reactivity, and how to determine the quantitative relations between the amounts of substances involved in chemical reactions—that is, the reaction stoichiometry. 176 Chapter 4 Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions 4.1 Writing and Balancing Chemical Equations By the end of this section, you will be able to: • Derive chemical equations from narrative descriptions of chemical reactions.
