General introduction

All commercially available reagents and solvents were used as received except in the caseof N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), which was recrystallized from water (see details below). TheCH2Cl2 used in the acylation of the amines and in the thermolysis reactions was obtainedfrom an MBraun MB SPS-800 solvent purification system and is dry, but more importantly freeof alcoholic stabilizers. Alcohol-stabilized CH2Cl2 does not completely inhibit the reactionsin question, but traces of ethyl esters (O-acylation) and ethyl ethers (carbene O-H insertionproduct) have been been observed spectroscopically when running the reactions in alcohol-stabilized CH2Cl2. The prepared/recrystallized N-bromoimides and diazoamides were storedin a freezer at −20 °C to ensure their integrity and were left in ambient temperature for about 5minutes before exposing them to air in order to minimize weighing errors caused by condensedwater.

Except for the above stated routine, no special precautions were taken to exclude air orairborne moisture at any point during the syntheses described in this work, except in theacylation reactions where it was clearly detrimental. Inert atmosphere (Ar or N2) is used onlywhere stated specifically (acylations and catalyzed reactions). Stirring refers to magnetic stirringin all the procedures. Heating was performed with fluoropolymer-coated all-metal heatingmantles.

Chromatography was performed on silica gel (Merck 60, 40-63 µm) and thin layer chromatog-raphy (TLC) on aluminium sheets coated with silica gel (Fluka 6607780, 20 mm, fluorescentcoating for 254 nm) or neutral alumina (Macherey Nagel Alugram Alox N, 0.20 mm, unacti-vated, no fluorescent coating). The plates were visualized with KMnO4, K2CO3 and NaOHin water for the α-bromo amides (alumina) and UV-light and/or a solution of p-anisaldehyde,concentrated H2SO4 and glacial CH3CO2H in 96% EtOH for the α-diazoacetamides (silica gel),followed by heating with a heat gun for both. The β-lactams (alumina) were visualized witha solution of ninhydrin and pyridine in absolute EtOH followed by heating or with a solutioncontaining AgNO3, H2O, 2-phenoxyethanol, acetone and H2O2 (30 %, aq) followed by exposingthe plate to UV-light for about 10 minutes (white spots on beige background).

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was performed on Bruker DXP300/DXP200spectrometers operating at 300/200 MHz for 1H and 75/50 MHz for 13C. The chemical shifts arereported in parts per million (δ) relative to the residual solvent signal in general accordancewith the literature1: δ-1H/δ-13C (Solvent); 7.26/77.00 (CDCl3), 5.32/53.80 (CD2Cl2), 2.50/39.52(DMSO−d6) and 1.94/118.26 (CD3CN). Chemical shifts are given in the section for physicaldata for each compound. Additionally, the spectra for the reported compounds are included inthe appendix where their signals are tentatively assigned to numbered structures appearing oneach spectrum, based on the information gained from the performed NMR experiments. TheDEPT-135 spectra were referenced using the 13C-NMR, as noted in the spectra. The NMR datawere processed with ACD/Labs NMR Processor Academic Edition.

Mass spectrometry experiments were carried out with a Fisons VG ProSpec for electronimpact ionisation (EI) and a Micromass Q-TOF 2 or a Bruker Apex FTMS (FT-ICR, 4.7 T) forelectrospray ionisation (ESI). The data from the three instruments are marked (EI), (ESI, Q-TOF) and (ESI, FT-ICR), respectively. The solvent used and other essential details are notedin each case. NOTE: Diazo compounds are prone to dinitrogen extrusion, a process that canbe effected by means of both heat and acidic media. While the obtention of molecular ionsusing electron impact ionisation (EI) was straightforward, like others,2a we did not observe

molecular ions using electrospray ionisation (ESI) with added HCOOH. The ESI-data for thediazoacetamides could indicate, however, that the observed radical cations are produced uponextrusion of dinitrogen and the inclusion of a molecule of solvent (tentatively assigned). Onecan speculate if this owes to an interaction of the carbene produced upon nitrogen extrusionwith a molecule of solvent.3 Such a reproducible m/z, not corresponding to the molecular ion,has also been noted by others in ESI experiments with EDA.2a Interestingly, when running theESI without added HCOOH, simple sodium adducts of the molecular ions was observed, exceptin the case of 3f.

Melting points were measured using a Stuart SMP10 melting point apparatus (BarloworldScientific Ltd., UK) and are uncorrected.

Yield measurement using an internal standard: The reactions were left to expire overnight,before evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure at or below 23 ◦C. 0.5 molar equivalentsof 2-naphthaldehyde was then added and the exact weight noted, before dissolving the entirecrude material in CDCl3. The solution was transferred to an NMR-tube and a 1H-NMR spectrumrecorded. The integral of the aldehyde proton of the internal standard was calculated based onits molar fraction in relation to the starting material. Thus, the yields can be read out from theintegral of the signal from the β--lactam α--proton in the NMR spectra in the appendix.

1 N-bromoimides

1.1 N-bromophthalimide

N-bromophthalimide was prepared from phthalimide by extendinga procedure published by Souza et. al4 for the preparation ofN-chloro- and N-bromosaccharin, in which bromine is generatedin situ by oxidation of KBr in water. The original procedure ismodified by an additional 0.25 eq of Na2CO3.

The reaction proceeds noticeably slower than in the case of sodium saccharin (as in the originalpublication - preparation not shown), possibly due to the fairly low solubility of phthalimideeven in basic water. Another consequence of this, was a prolonged and more visible releaseof bromine. As the consumption of the released bromine is slower than with saccharin, it wasnecessary to close the reaction vessel with a glass stopper to contain the evolution of brominegas. The yield was 65 %. The obtained spectroscopic data were in accordance with the publisheddata.5 The measured melting point was lower, however, possibly owing to the fact that therecrystallization from toluene left a slightly amorphous crystal mass.

1.1.1 Experimental procedure

Phthalimide (7.36 g, 50.0 mmol, 1.0 eq), Na2CO3 (3.98 g, 37.6 mmol, 0.75 eq) and KBr (5.95 g,50.0 mmol, 1.0 eq) were added through a solid addition funnel to a 500 mL round bottom flaskfollowed by H2O (Type II, 200 mL). The flask was cooled on an ice/water bath for 10 minutes,after which potassium peroxymonosulfate (as its triple salt 2 KHSO5 · KHSO4 · K2SO4, oxone®)(30.8 g, 50.1 mmol, 1.0 eq) suspended in H2O (Type II, 75 mL) was added in small aliquots, withvigorous stirring (700 rpm), over a period of 10 minutes. The addition of the oxidant resultedin vigorous release of bromine gas, and thus the flask was capped with a glass stopper betweenadditions. The mixture quickly turned into an orange frothing suspension with visible brominegas above it. The suspension was left to stir for 24 hours, at which point it had become a yellowsolution with a white precipitate. Stirring was continued another 24 hours, until the solution

above the precipitate was almost clear. The suspension was filtered on a Büchner-funnel and thefilter cake sucked dry for a period of 30 minutes. The white precipitate was dissolved in boilingtoluene (150 mL), hot filtered into a beaker and left to cool slowly to ambient temperature,covered with an aluminium foil. Upon reaching ambient temperature, precipitation had begunand the beaker was placed in a refrigerator at 4 °C for a period of 17 hours, before filtering theprecipitate on a Büchner-funnel. The filter cake was washed with n-pentane (30 mL) to give 6.52g (57 %) of small white crystals. The mother liquor was concentrated, filtered and the filter cakewashed with toluene (5 mL) and n-pentane (10 mL) to give 0.91 g (8 %). Both crops were ofequal purity by 1H-NMR. The total yield was 65%.

Synthesis route and comments

N,N’-ditosylhydrazine was synthesized in 92 % yieldin one step by the reaction of tosylhydrazine with tosylchloride in the presence of pyridine, as described byToma et al.,7 albeit with a slight modification of thework-up procedure. The modified procedure requiresless methanol than the original procedure, making thework-up easier and safer to perform on a preparative scale(∼ 100 g), without compromising the purity of the isolatedproduct.

The reaction was performed once following the original procedure, affording a yield compa-rable to that reported (∼ 15 g, 85 %). The procedure was originally performed on a 50 mmolscale and employed a recrystallization from 400 mL of boiling MeOH as the final purificationstep.In the modified work-up procedure, the crude precipitate (see experimental details below) issimply slurried in methanol at reflux, lowering the expenditure of MeOH considerably.

The reaction could thus be performed at various scales with a low methanol expenditure:

The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra of the obtained products were identical to those of theproduct obtained using the original procedure, and are in accordance with the publishedspectroscopic data.7 An X-ray structure can also be found in the literature.8

Representative experimental procedure

Tosyl chloride (100.0 g, 524.5 mmol, 1.5 eq) and tosylhy-drazide (65.12 g, 349.7 mmol, 1.0 eq) were added to a 1000mL round-bottom flask through a solid addition funnel, anddissolved/suspended in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (250 mL), givinga concentration of approximately 1 M based on the limitingreactant. An oval stir bar (3.5 × 1.5 cm) was added and thesuspension stirred (700 rpm) while cooling on an ice/waterbath, until an internal temperature of 3 °C was reached.Addition of a solution of pyridine (41.49 g, 524.5 mmol, 1.5eq) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (80 mL) over a period of 10 minutes,in such a way that the internal temperature did not riseabove 20 °C. This gave a transparent yellow solution whichsoon deposited a white precipitate, upon which stirring wasincreased to 1000 rpm, and continued for a period of 3 hours.Et2O (200 mL) was added and the suspension solidified. Theheavy precipitation was broken up with a spatula and thesuspension was transferred to a 1500 mL beaker, where itwas stirred with a triangular stir bar (5 × 1 × 1 cm). H2O(Type II, 200 mL) and Et2O (200 mL) was added in the givenorder. Stirring was continued for 10 minutes, before filteringthe precipitate on a 13 cm Büchner-funnel, where it was leftto air dry with suction for a period of 5 minutes.The solid was transferred directly to a 2000 mL round bottomflask and suspended in MeOH (900 mL). The flask wasequipped with a reflux-condenser and an oval stir bar (5× 2 cm) before heating the suspension to reflux (mantletemperature 67 °C) and stirring for a period of 3 hours.

The suspension, which at this point would separate to slightly yellow solution above a brightwhite precipitate, was allowed to cool before filtering on a 13 cm Büchner-funnel. The filtercake was washed with MeOH (300 mL) and Et2O (300 mL). The filtrate was then concentratedon a rotary evaporator (bath temperature ∼ 45 °C) to a volume of approximately 150 mL,before cooling the flask under running tap water. The precipitate was filtered on a Büchner-funnel, washed with MeOH (200 mL) and Et2O (200 mL) giving a second crop. The first cropwas a voluminous white powder, while the second more crystalline crop consisted of shortwhite needles. Both crops were dried in air in a fume hood over a period of 48 hours beforedetermining the yield. Crop I: 97.60 g (81 %), crop II: 12.34 g (10 %). The total yield was 109.94g (92 %). Both crops were of equal purity by NMR analysis and were subsequently mixed andstored in a screw-capped PTFE jar at ambient temperature.

3 α-bromoacetamides

Synthesis route and comments

The α-bromoacetamides were synthesized by the dropwise addition of the amine in CH2Cl2to bromoacetyl bromide and tribasic potassium phosphate in dry, alcohol-free CH2Cl2. Theprocedure was based on a recent publication where the authors investigated the effect ofdifferent bases on the formation of amides from amines and acid chlorides.9 The obtainedα-bromoacetamides were sufficiently pure after work-up to be used in the next step withoutfurther purification.

Representative experimental procedure

A 250 mL round bottom flask was charged, in the given order, with bromoacetyl bromide (30mmol, 1.5 eq), anhydrous CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and K3PO4 (50 mmol, 2.5 eq). An oval stir bar (3.5 ×1.5 cm) was added and the flask was fitted with a 100 mL addition funnel, containing the amine(20 mmol, 1 eq) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL). The flask was cooled on an ice/water bath, while purgingthe system with argon for a period of 5 minutes. Stirring (500 rpm) was commenced and theamine solution added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes, after which the addition funnelwas washed with CH2Cl2 (5 mL). Stirring was then continued for a period of 3 hours, beforequenching the excess acid bromide with aqueous HCl (0.5 M, 30 mL). After stirring another5 minutes, H2O (10 mL) and brine (10 mL) were added and the now transparent two phasestransferred to a separatory funnel and the organic phase drained off. The aqueous phase wasextracted with CH2Cl2 (1 × 20 mL), before washing the joint organic phases with a mixtureof aqueous KHCO3 (10 %wt, 20 mL) and brine (10 mL), and then with brine (20 mL). Dryingover MgSO4 and evaporating under reduced pressure at 30 °C bath temperature, afforded theα-bromoacetamides. The crude material was stored at −20 °C before submission to the nextstep.

3.6 2-bromo-1-(1,1-dioxidothiomorpholino)ethanone (2f)

The solubilities of both the amine thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide andthe obtained amide are relatively low in CH2Cl2. As such, thevolume of CH2Cl2 in which the amine was initially dissolved wasincreased to 7.40 mmol/30 mL. Additionally, on the same scale, thereaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (100 mL) after quenchingwith HCl (aq), before separating the phases. A longer reaction timeof 24 hours was also needed to achieve full conversion of the amine.

4 α-diazoacetamides

4.0.1 Synthesis route and comments

In the procedure reported by Toma et al. the amidine base 1,8-Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) was used to effect the nucleophilic attack of the N,N’-ditosylhydrazine anion onthe α-carbon of α-bromoacetic esters, as well as the subsequent decomposition of the resultinghydrazide/hydrazone intermediate to yield an α-diazo group.7 The lower cost and similar basestrength10 of 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine (TMG), as well as its properties as a nucleophiliccatalyst,11 made it an interesting alternative to DBU in this transformation. Furthermore, inthe original procedure, the crude reaction mixture was quenched with NaHCO3(aq) and thenextracted with Et2O. In our experience it was problematic to perform a clean aqueous extractionin the presence of the at least 2 molar equivalents of DBU−HO2S-C6H4CH3 produced during thereaction. This situation manifested itself more gravely on a > 5 mmol scale. The problem couldlie in the intermediate solubility of the DBU−HO2S-C6H4CH3 complex between the aqueousphase and the Et2O phase. What further complicated the matter of an aqueous extractionprocedure, was the aqueous solubility of some of the obtained α-diazoacetamides.

The use of TMG instead of DBU resulted in the partial precipitation of the TMG · HO2S-C6H4CH3salt from THF during the reaction. Thus, in the cases where the diazoamide was soluble inEt2O (products 3a - e), the reaction solvent (THF) could be destilled off under reduced pressureand the diazoamide extracted from the resulting solid with Et2O (the TMG · HO2S-C6H4CH3salt is poorly soluble in Et2O). A final clearing of the Et2O-phase by slurrying with silica geland filtering, yielded the diazoamides with decent purities, without the need for an aqueouswork-up. As noted by Toma et al., we also observed the formation of the correspondingα-tosylacetamides, resulting from the nucleophilic attack of the produced p-toluenesulfinicacid on the substrate α-bromoacetamides. This side-reaction can however be minimized bymaintaining the reaction temperature below 0 ◦C (see procedure below).

In the case where the diazoamide was not soluble in Et2O (product 3f), a THF/Et2O (2:1)mixture could be used to extract the diazoamide with adequate results (see the experimentalprocedure for product 3f below).

All the obtained diazoamides were subsequently chromatographed on silica gel to ensurethat they were free of contaminations (e.g. their corresponding α-tosylacetamides) that couldinterfere in the investigation of their halogenation and subsequent reactions. The detailspertaining to the chromatography for each compound are given below.

4.0.2 Representative experimental procedure (products 3a - e)

To a 250 mL round bottom flask containing the α-bromoacetamide (20 mmol, 1 eq), were addedthrough a solid addition funnel; N,N’-ditosylhydrazine (40 mmol, 2 eq), THF (35 mL) and anoval stir bar (3.5 × 1.5 cm). The suspension was cooled on an acetone/CO2 (s) bath with stirring(400 rpm) until reaching an internal temperature of −10 ◦C, upon which a solution of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (100 mmol, 5 eq) in THF (10 mL) was added in aliquots using a pasteurpipette, while maintaining the internal temperature below 0 ◦C by the addition of CO2 (s). Theresulting yellow solution was removed from the cooling bath and allowed to warm to ambienttemperature over a period of 30 minutes, during which time a white precipitate is deposited.This suspension was stirred for a period of 90 minutes, before removing the THF under reducedpressure at or below 23 ◦C. The resulting solid was treated with anhydrous Et2O (150 mL) andvigorously stirred for 10 minutes, before being filtered on a Büchner-funnel. The filter cakewas washed with anhydrous Et2O (2 - 5 × 50 mL), until leaving an almost white filter cake.Approximately 25 g (1 large tablespoon) of silica gel was added to the filtrate and the suspensionstirred for 5 minutes, followed by vacuum filtration through a pad of silica gel (∼ 25 g, column �

3.5 cm). The column was washed with Et2O (50 mL) and the Et2O evaporated under reducedpressure at or below 23 ◦C. The thus obtained crude diazoacetamides were then subjected toflash chromatography on silica gel eluting increasing amounts of Et2O in Pet.Ether. The productswere stored at −20 ◦C before submission to the next step.

4.6.1 Experimental procedure

To a 250 mL round bottom flask containing 2-bromo-1-(1,1-dioxidothiomorpholino)ethanone(1.928 g, 7.53 mmol, 1 eq), were added through a solid addition funnel N,N’-ditosylhydrazine(5.129 g, 15.07 mmol, 2 eq), THF (50 mL) and an oval stir bar (3.5 × 1.5 cm). The suspension wascooled on an ice/water bath with stirring (400 rpm) for a period of 15 minutes, upon which asolution of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (4.337 g, 37.65 mmol, 5 eq) in THF (10 mL) was addedin bulk. The white suspension quickly became yellow, and was then stirred for a period of 70minutes, before adding Et2O (100 mL) causing the disappearance of the yellow colour from theTHF/Et2O phase, as the product was no longer soluble. Removal of some of the Et2O underreduced pressure, brought the yellow colour back to the liquid phase in the suspension. Themixture was filtered on a Büchner-funnel and the filter cake washed with THF/Et2O (2:1, 75mL) and THF (30 mL), leaving an almost white filter cake.

A preliminary purification was performed by adding Celite (∼ 60 g, 3 tablespoons) to thefiltrate, and evaporating the solvents under reduced pressure at or below 23 ◦C. The resulting

A yellow band was eluted withMeOH/CH2Cl2 (5:95). To this fraction was added silica gel (∼ 50 g, 2 large tablespoons) and thesolvents evaporated, leaving a pale yellow powder. The powder was loaded on top of a column(5.5 × 3.5 cm) of silica gel packed in CH2Cl2, and the product slowly eluted with CH2Cl2 andfrom the point of elution CHCl3.

The halogenated α-bromodiazoacetic ethyl esters were reported to be stable for days at0 °C.25 The α-halodiazoamides, however, appear less stable. In our experience the 2 – 5 °Ctemperatures, obtainable with a common ice/water bath, were not sufficiently low to workwith the α-halodiazoacetamides with adequate reproducibility. Therefore, all procedures werecarried out at −5 °C using an acetone bath in which the temperature was controlled by a cryostat.

In the summaries from the mass spectrometry experiments, the R-group in “α, α′-Br2−NR2”refers to the cyclic amide side chain of the respective compound.

Representative experimental procedure

The diazoacetamide (0.5 mmol, 1.0 eq) was weighed out in a 25 mL pear shaped flask, DBU (0.7mmol, 1.4 eq) in a 10 mL beaker and the N-halo compound (0.65 mmol, 1.3 eq) in a weighingfunnel. The flask was charged with a small magnetic stir bar (10 × 2 mm) and CH2Cl2 (2mL, ambient temperature), and was subsequently mounted alongside a 250 mL round bottomflask containing CH2Cl2 (250 mL) in an acetone bath cooled by a cryostat to −5 °C (measuredwith an alcohol thermometer at the surface). Stirring (300 RPM) was commenced and after2 minutes the base in CH2Cl2 (2 mL, ambient temperature) was added. After 2 minutes theN-halo compound was added in bulk through the funnel and the funnel rinsed with CH2Cl2(1 mL, ambient temperature). The addition effected a colour change from bright yellow tobright red. While the reaction was stirring, a short plug of silica gel (2 × 2 cm) was packedin CH2Cl2 (ambient temperature) in a fritted flash chromatography column (15 × 2 cm) andmounted inside a holder which allows for the filling of dry ice around the column (covering∼ 300°, leaving an observation window, see figure 5.1 on the facing page). After stirring for 5minutes, the thermometer was placed in the 250 mL flask and CO2(s) was added to the bath untilthe internal temperature of the CH2Cl2 had reached −15 °C. The space between the jacket andthe chromatography column was filled with dry ice, and the column equilibrated with CH2Cl2(−15 °C, 20 mL). The reaction mixture was then poured directly onto the column, and the flaskrinsed with two pipette volumes of CH2Cl2 (−15 °C). The reaction mixture was run into thecolumn using pressurized air (ambient temperature), and the column filled up with CH2Cl2

(−15 °C). The column was then run with CH2Cl2 (−15 °C, ∼ 200 mL) under air pressure tocompletely elute a bright red band into a new 250 mL flask in the cooling bath. The elutedsolution is bright red/pink in colour with a temperature of approximately −30 °C.

Thermolysis: The flask was placed on the bench without stirringwhile the temperature rose from −30 °C towards ambienttemperature. The solution became clear in approximately 60minutes. In the chromatographic step, for the more polaranalogues, it was necessary to add Et2O (5 mL) to the last 50mL of the eluent to completely collect the red band. It shouldbe noted that Et2O has a much higher elution strength thanCH2Cl2 under these conditions and fortunately does not seem tointerfere with the C-H insertion reaction at this concentration. Wehave however observed that higher concentrations of Et2O willmake intermolecular reactions (ylide formation, C-H insertion)sufficiently favoured so as to compete with the intramolecularC-H insertions.

Catalyzed reactions: The flask was charged with a stir bar, capped with a septum andmaintained in the cooling bath at −15 °C (cryostat) while degassing with argon (5 minutes). Theflask was then taken out of the cooling bath and a degassed solution of the catalyst in CH2Cl2 (2mL) was added via syringe under vigorous stirring. The solution was then left to heat towardsroom temperature.

For an illustration of the CO2(s)-cooled column used in this procedure, see figure 5.1 below.

5.1 6-bromo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-7-one (5a)

The compound was prepared following the general procedure forthermolysis given above. In CDCl3, the compound decomposes overtime as indicated by a 1H-NMR spectrum recorded 48 hours after the first(data not shown). This could owe to the oxidative accumulation of HClin the CDCl3 resulting in β--lactam hydrolysis, and would be consistentwith the reported rapid hydrolysis of β-lactams fused with 5-memberedrings.14

5.7 Synthesis and thermolysis of α-chloro- and α-iodo-4d

It was desirable to investigate whether the reaction of the α-bromodiazoacetamides could beextended to its chlorine and iodine analogues. The piperazine-derivative 3d was chosen as themodel compound, since the C-H insertion reaction of Br-4d gave a moderate to low yield,which provided an opportunity for its chlorine and iodine analogues to expose theirdifferential reactivity. The halogenation reactions were carried out using DBU/NXS (X = Cl, Br,I), due to the availability of the halosuccinimides.

6 Additional procedures

6.1 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine p-toluenesulfinate

The precipitation of this salt occurred during the prepa-rations of the α-diazoacetamides as described in theirexperimental procedure. In one instance, the precipitatewas weighed dry and it accounted for 98 %wt of thetheoretical amount. For the characterization of thesalt, a small amount of the precipitation was driedand stored under an argon atmosphere to ensure a lowdegree of oxidation before submitting the sample tomass spectrometry (ESI). The spontanous oxidation ofp-toluenesulfinates to p-toluenesulfinatessulfonates havebeen noted by others.28 The 1H-NMR shows a mixtureof 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine p-toluenesulfinate and1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine p-toluenesulfonate (a tenta-tive assignment of the peaks can be found in the spectrumon page 69).
