General Description
BPMPO is an effective oxalamide ligand for copper-catalyzed C–N coupling reactions, demonstrating particular utility in the amination of chloro-substituted sulfilimines. Its robust performance with aqueous ammonia as the ammonia source makes BPMPO a practical choice for challenging amination transformations in complex synthetic sequences.
Application
BPMPO serves as a reliable ligand for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, notably in the preparation of kinase inhibitor precursors through copper-catalyzed amination.
BPMPO is employed as an auxiliary ligand in a Cu-catalyzed C–N coupling that converts chloro-substituted sulfilimine into aniline. The reaction is run with 10 mol % CuI, 10 mol % BPMPO, aqueous NH3·H2O and K3PO4 in DMSO at 110 ℃ for 24 h, giving 91 % yield. This step is part of a short sequence that transforms the initial enantioenriched sulfilimine product (obtained via the Cu/NOBIN-picolinamide chemistry) into the known kinase-inhibitor precursor.
