- Description
- Two libraries of highly decorated norcantharidin analogues were accessed via a series of sequential chemoselective flow hydrogenations and solvent-free transformations. Utilising a 10% Pd/C catalyst, modifications to reaction parameters (H₂ pressure, temperature and flow rate conditions) allowed facile access to effect selective direct reductive aminations and olefin reductions in the presence of furan, benzyl and nitrile moieties were established. The use of 20% Pd(OH)₂/C; Pd tetrakis; 5% Pt/C (sulfided) gave mixtures of furan and olefin (both reduced) and olefin reduced products. RuO₂; 0.5% Re/C and Re₂O₇ resulted in no reduction. Concurrent olefin and nitrile reduction was achieved in the presence of furan moieties by employing a RANEY® nickel catalyst. In total, 31 reaction conditions were examined using less than 200 mg of reagents allowing optimised conditions to be efficiently determined. These optimised hydrogenation conditions afforded desired analogues in near quantitative yields thus removing the requirements of reaction workup and chromatography.
