TL;DR: The reactivity of Folin-Ciocalteau phenol reagent with nitrogen compounds is defined to extend the usefulness of the reagent for the detection and determination of certain nitrogen compounds in basic extracts by colorimetric means and by thin-layer chromatography.
Abstract: To determine in more detail the reaction of Folin-Ciocalteu phenol reagent with nitrogen compounds, a number of hydroxylamine-related compounds and a large number of guanidine-containing compounds were tested In general, guanidine compounds did not react strongly unless they were hydroxyamino or hydrazino derivatives The non-hydroxyamino paralytic shellfish poison saxitoxin, however, reacted to a significant extent This may be due to the presence of a five-membered ring structure and its analogy to 2-aminopurines, which react strongly A number of simpler amines were also tested Tertiary aliphatic amines, but not primary, secondary, or quaternary amines, reacted strongly with the reagent Primary, secondary, and tertiary aromatic amines all reacted strongly with the reagent Reactivity was extended to pyrroles and indole derivatives but not to imidazole and benzimidazole derivatives Defining the reactivity of Folin-Ciocalteau phenol reagent with nitrogen compounds extends the usefulness of the reagent for the detection and determination of certain nitrogen compounds in basic extracts by colorimetric means and by thin-layer chromatography

TL;DR: A general method for copper-catalyzed deprotonative dimerization of arenes by employing oxygen as the terminal oxidant has been developed and is tolerant to functionalities such as nitro, cyano, dialkylamino, and ester groups.
Abstract: Direct functionalization of C-H bonds allows to shorten synthetic schemes by allowing transformations to be carried out in fewer steps compared with traditional cross-coupling methods.1 In most cases ruthenium, rhodium, platinum, iridium, or palladium catalysts are employed.1h It would be advantageous to employ less exotic metals such as copper or iron for C-H bond functionalization. Even though copper is one of the first transition metals shown to promote functionalization of C-H bonds,2 methods that utilize copper catalysis for conversion of C-H bonds to C-C bonds are rare.3 A notable example of such catalysis is the Glaser-Hay alkyne dimerization that has been known since 1869 (Scheme 1).4 Interestingly, oxygen is used as the terminal oxidant. Copper-catalyzed conversion of C-H to C-heteroatom bonds has been described, and in some cases oxygen was employed as the terminal oxidant.5 Copper-promoted 2-arylpyridine dimerization has been recently described.6 Scheme 1 Glaser-Hay reaction While palladium-catalyzed arene dimerization by employing oxygen as the terminal oxidant is known, the corresponding copper-catalyzed reaction has not been reported for substrates other than phenols.7 We report here a deprotonative, copper catalyzed arene dimerization by employing oxygen as the terminal oxidant. We have recently demonstrated that acidic sp2 C-H bonds can be arylated by aryl halides under copper catalysis (Scheme 2).8 The reaction involves generation of an organocopper intermediate followed by the reaction with aryl iodide affording a biaryl product. We speculated that under an oxygen atmosphere, the intermediate arylcopper species is expected to form biaryl and a low-valent copper complex. Regeneration of arylcopper by reaction of arylmetal with the low-valent Cu species would close the catalytic cycle. The initial experiments focused on the use of tBuOLi base that was earlier shown to be successful for copper-catalyzed deprotonative arylation. However, major amounts of phenol byproduct were formed upon reacting methoxytetrafluorobenzene with tBuOLi and catalytic CuCl2 under O2 atmosphere (Scheme 3). Formation of phenol byproducts has been reported in copper-catalyzed reaction of arylboronic acids with various nucleophiles under oxygen.9 Scheme 2 Copper-catalyzed arylation of arene C-H bonds Scheme 3 Phenol byproduct formation Phenol can be formed either by the direct reaction of ArLi intermediate with oxygen, or by reaction of a high-valent ArCu with hydroxide derived from water.9 A metal that binds hydroxide removing it from the reaction mixture is required to avoid phenol formation. Less polarized C-metal bond in the intermediate should also decrease the reactivity of arylmetal with oxygen. Magnesium t-butoxide was inefficient and a stronger base was required. Fortunately, hindered zinc and magnesium amide bases that have been extensively investigated by Knochel worked well.10 Exact composition of the base needs to be optimized for each substrate. Synthesis of bases used in dimerizations is presented in Scheme 4. Best results are obtained by employing tetramethylpiperidides. Scheme 4 Bases employed in dimerization The results of the dimerization reactions are shown in Table 1. Reactions are run in THF solvent under oxygen atmosphere at 0–50 °C, typically at RT, and 1–3 mol % of CuCl2 catalyst is employed. Electron-rich heterocycles such as thiazole, benzofuran, 2-chlorothiophene, N-butylimidazole and triazole are dimerized in good yields (entries 1–5). Electron-poor heterocycles 2-methoxypyrazine and 3,5-dichloropyridine were also dimerized successfully (entries 6 and 7). Polyfluorinated arenes are reactive and tetrafluoroanisole was dimerized in 91% yield (entry 8). 1,3-Difluorobenzene afforded tetrafluorobiphenyl in 71% yield (entry 10). The reaction is tolerant to functional groups such as amino (entry 9), nitro (entry 11), cyano (entry 12), and ester (entry 13). For dimerization of 2-chlorothiophene and tetrafluoroanisole cheaper dicyclohexylamide bases can be employed. In other cases, tetramethylpiperidides afford better results. Table 1 Arene Dimerizationa Control experiments were run to determine if trace of another transition metal catalyzes the dimerization (Scheme 5).11 With reagent grade or ultra-pure CuCl2 similar results were obtained showing that reactivity by contaminants is unlikely. If copper salt was omitted, no product was obtained. Scheme 5 Control Experiments In conclusion, we have developed a general method for copper-catalyzed, deprotonative dimerization of arenes by employing oxygen as the terminal oxidant. Electron-rich and electron-poor heterocycles as well as electron-poor arenes are reactive. The method is tolerant to functionalities such as nitro, cyano, amino, and ester groups.
