Abstract

:
Aromatic and aliphatic oximes have been deoximated in chloroform-water to the corresponding aldehydes with dilute hydrogen peroxide and triscetylpyridinium tetrakis (oxodiperoxotungsto) phosphate as catalyst. The presence of dipolarophiles in the reaction mixtures allows a competitive reaction that converts oximes into isoxazole and isoxazoline derivatives via the intermediate formation of nitrile oxide species.

Introduction

Oximes are frequently used as carbonyl protector groups [1] from which the parent carbonyl compounds must be regenerated. Regeneration of the carbonyl compound requires the use of soft reagents that will cleave the oxime bond without modification under mild reaction conditions.
Furthermore, since oximes can also be prepared from non-carbonyl compounds, the generation of carbonyl compounds from them provides an alternative method for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones [2,3,4,5]. The traditional hydrolytic method for deprotection of oximes requires the use of strong acids and often results in low yields due to the formation of polymeric by-products, so a number of alternative methods have been developed. Some previously reported carbonyl compound deoximation methods involve oxidative or reductive protocols using, for example, pyridinium dichromate, t-butyl-hydroperoxide, and so on. [6,7]. Some of these reactions have different disadvantages such as long reaction times, difficulties in isolation of products and the possibility of explosions due to the presence of unstable compounds produced by strong oxidative reagents. Many oxidative deoximation methods of aldoximes cited in the literature give low yields of aldehydes due to their over-oxidation to acids.
Mo(VI) and W(VI) peroxopolyoxo complexes, whose general formula is Q3+{PO4[MO(O2)2]4}3–, are one of the most promising group of catalysts for the selective transfer oxygen to organic substrates [8,9]. They can be stoichiometrically used as oxidant agents or as catalysts in the oxidation processes employing dilute hydrogen peroxide. Lacunary polyoxotungstates have been also recently been screened as catalysts for H2O2oxidations under microwave irradiation [10]. Hydrogen peroxide as oxidant has the great advantage to generate only water as by-product. It has a high content of active oxygen and it is less expensive than organic peroxides and peracids. Another advantage of using these salts as oxidants comes from the possibility that the counteraction Q+ itself acts as a phase transfer agent when Q+ represents a suitable ammonium salt. In this paper we wish to report the oxidative deprotection reaction of oximes with hydrogen peroxide mediated by triscetylpyridinium tetrakis(oxodiperoxotungsto) phosphate as catalyst to yield the corresponding carbonyl compounds under mild conditions and high yields.

Results and Discussion

Aromatic and aliphatic oximes 1 treated in water-chloroform at 30 °C with dilute hydrogen peroxide (35%, v/v) and 1 mol% of [C5H5N+(CH2)14CH3]3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4}3– (PCWP), used as catalyst, have been transformed to carbonyl compounds 2 (Table 1).

The results listed in Table 1 indicate that the reaction is successful for a variety of aliphatic and aromatic oximes. Moreover, the obtained results suggest that aldoximes are deprotected relatively faster than ketoximes.
We also explored the possibility of generating nitrile oxides intermediates for the preparation of isoxazole and isoxazoline derivatives via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition [11,12], to further expand the synthetic utility of the PCWP oxidation of aldoximes. N,O-Heterocycles are considered privileged structures in medicinal chemistry, as they show a wide spectrum of biological activities and have been used as antimitotic agents, antiviral compounds, antimicotics and so on [13,14]. Moreover, these compounds have several synthetically useful functionalities, masked in the rings. These functionalities can be released through ring cleavage giving easy access to a variety of open chain derivatives which are differently functionalized [15]. Thus, the reaction in chloroform-water of aldoximes 1a,d, used as model compounds, and treated with dilute hydrogen peroxide (35%, v/v) and 1 mol% of [C5H5N+(CH2)14CH3]3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4}3– (PCWP), used as catalyst, at 40 °C in the presence of alkenes 3 (1 equiv.) or alkynes 4 (2.5 equiv.), produced isoxazolines 5 or isoxazoles 6 and 7, respectively, along with variable amounts of aldehydes 2a,d (Scheme 1, Table 2).

The results indicate that the aldehydes are the main products of the reaction, except for entries 3 and 4 (cycloadduct-aldehyde ratio 1:1) and entry 9 (cycloadduct-aldehyde ratio 1.8:1). The stereochemistry of the cycloadducts depends on the stereochemistry of the dipolarophiles (entry 3) – the E-adduct was obtained using fumarate and the Z-ones has been obtained with maleate. Moreover, all the experiments show that aromatic oximes lead to a higher yield of cycloadduct than aliphatic ones, and the presence of electron-withdrawing groups on the dipolarophile moiety increases the yield of cycloadduct (entries 3, 4, 9 and 10). The formation of isoxazole derivatives 57 supports the intermediate formation of the corresponding nitrile oxide [16]. In fact, the reaction of C6H5CH=NOH (2.5 mmol) with H2O2 (20 mmol) and PCWP (0.025 mmol) in CHCl3 at 40 °C, in the absence of dipolarophiles gives as main product benzaldehyde, along with a small amount of diphenylfuroxan. The same reaction followed by IR shows two significative bands: at 2250 cm–1 corresponding to benzonitrile oxide [17], and at 1700 cm-1 associated to benzaldehyde. Furthermore, the data point out that the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition process is in accordance with both steric and frontier molecular orbital interactions of the reagents [16].
At this stage it is hard to suggest a mechanistic pathway for this reaction. It is known that peroxopolyoxocomplexes such as PCWP behave as electrophilic oxidants [18,19] and therefore the oxidation reaction might be triggered by a nucleophilic [18,20] attack of the oxime nitrogen-atom to the peroxide oxygen followed by catalytic hydrogen peroxide regeneration of the oxidant and by subsequent steps for the products formation (Scheme 2). However, it is also known that PCWP is also a good electron acceptor [21,22] and therefore the involvement of electron transfer events cannot be excluded a priori.

Conclusions

In summary, aromatic and aliphatic oximes 1 can be easily deoximated in water-chloroform to the corresponding aldehydes 2 with dilute hydrogen peroxide (35%, v/v) mediated by 1 mol% of [C5H5N+(CH2)14CH3]3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4}3– (PCWP). The presence in the reaction mixtures of alkenes and alkynes as dipolarophiles allows a competitive reaction path which converts the oximes into isoxazole and isoxazoline derivatives through the intermediate formation of nitrile oxide species.

Experimental

General

Aldoximes, alkynes and alkenes (Aldrich) were distilled or crystallized before use. Chloroform (Carlo Erba, RPE) was distilled over P4O10, whereas H2O2 (35%, v/v) (Carlo Erba, RPE) was used without further purification. 1H- and 13C-NMR were obtained on a Varian Unity Inova 200 MHz spectrometer operating at 200 and 50 MHz, respectively, using CDCl3 as solvent and TMS as internal standard. GLC analyses were carried out on a programmable Perkin-Elmer 8420 gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector and a 25 m DB-1 capillary column. GC/MS analyses were performed on a Hewlett-Packard model 5890 gas chromatograph, using an HP-1 dimethylpolysiloxane 25 m capillary column, equipped with a Hewlett-Packard MS computerized system Model 5971A, ionization voltage 70 eV, electron multiplier 1700 V, ion source temperature 280 °C. IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Paragon 500 FT-IR Spectrometer using potassium bromide discs.

Preparation of triscetylpyridinium tetrakis(diperoxotungsto)phosphate (PCWP)

To a solution of cetylpyridinium chloride (3.1 mmol) in 35% H2O2 (40 mL) has been added H3PW12O40·nH2O (3 g) in 35% H2O2 (10 mL), and the mixture has been stirred at 40 °C for 4–5 h. The white precipitate, after filtration, has been washed with water until all the H2O2 was removed and then dried in vacuo over P4O10. The IR spectrum (KBr) corresponded to the one reported in the literature [23].

Oxidation and cycloaddition reactions: general procedure for oxidation

To a warm (30 °C) solution containing PCWP (0.025 mmol) in chloroform (5 mL) has been added a solution of aldoxime (2.5 mmol) and H2O2 (35%, 1.8 mL, 20 mmol). After the addition has been completed, the mixture has been stirred at 30 °C for an appropriate time, then the organic layer has been separated, washed with a 10% of aqueous solution of sodium bisulphite and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent has been removed under reduced pressure to leave a thick oil, which has been subjected to silica gel chromatography using a 30% ethyl acetate/cyclohexane mixture as eluent. The 1H-NMR spectra of aldehydes 2af corresponded to the ones reported in the literature.

General procedure for oxidation-cycloaddition

A solution of aldoxime (2.5 mmol), alkene (2.5 mmol) or alkyne (7.5 mmol) in chloroform (5 mL) and H2O2 (35%, 1.8 mL, 20 mmol) were added to a warm (40 °C) solution of PCWP (0.025 mmol) in chloroform (5 mL). After the addition was completd, the mixture was stirred at 40 °C for an appropriate time, after which the organic layer was separated, washed with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium bisulphite and finally dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent has been removed under reduced pressure to leave a thick oil, which was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a 30% ethyl acetate/cyclohexane mixture as eluent. The 1H-NMR and MS spectra, for the compounds obtained in entries 1 [24], 3 [25,26], 5 [27], 7 [28], and 9 [29,30], corresponded to the ones reported in the literature.
