• 1.   Introduction

  Functionalized 1-naphthylamine compounds have been recognized as important molecules which could potentially be applied as ligand, fluorescent probes and bioactive molecule.^[1] The selective C—H bond activation of 1-naph- thylamine has emerged as an attractive method to construct corresponding 1-naphthylamine derivatives.^[2~12] Various types of C(8)-functionalizations of 1-naphthylmide derivatives such as arylation, ^[4] alkylation, ^[5] alkenylation, ^[6] amination, ^[7] heteroarylation, ^{[7a, 8]} chalcogenation, ^[9] and cyanation^[10] have been developed using Pd, Cu and Rh catalysts. In terms of etherification, Daugulis and co-workers^[11] first reported the C(8)-phenoxylation of 1-naphthylamide mediated by copper through a bidentate-picolinamide moiety as a directing group. Recently, Punniyamurthy and co-workers^[12] reported the Cu-catalyzed C(8)-phenoxyla- tion of naphthylamides with arylboronic acids using water as an oxygen source. However, taking advantage of transition-metal catalyzed C—H bond activation, directed C(8)-alkoxylation of 1-naphthylamide using alcohol as alkoxylation reagent has rarely been explored, due to the alkoxyl-metal intermediates formed tend to undergo β-H elimination.^[13]

  Recently, Co-catalyzed C—H activation has received increasing attention in organic synthesis because of its inexpensive and sustainable. And much progress has been made in constructing C—C and C—X bonds mediated by cobalt, and which has been reviewed by Ackermann^[14], Niu^[15] and others^{[16, 17]}. Inspired by cobalt-catalyzed C—O bond construction of arenes and alkenes, reported by Song, ^[18] Zeng, ^[19] Zhang, ^[20] Wu, ^[21] Chatani, ^[22] and Acker- mann, ^[23] respectively, we speculated that a cobalt catalyst might also promote the C(8)-alkoxylation of N-(naphthalen- 1-yl)picolinamide applying alcohols, especially diols, as alkoxylation reagents.

  2.   Results and discussion

  To probe the feasibility of this approach, initially, the reaction of N-(naphthalen-1-yl)picolinamide (1) with methanol (2a) was explored in the presence of Co(OAc)₂ (30 mol%), Ag₂CO₃ (2.0 equiv.) and KOAc (2.0 equiv.). As expected, the desired N-(8-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)pico- linamide (3a) was obtained in 32% yield (Table 1, Entry 1) and the structure of 3a was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography.^[24] Other catalysts were investigated including CoCl₂, Co₂(CO)₈, Co(acac)₂ and Pd(OAc)₂. It was found that CoCl₂ and Co₂(CO)₈ failed to give a better yield than Co(OAc)₂, and no desired product was achieved when Co(acac)₂ and Pd(OAc)₂ were introduced (Table 1, Entries 2~5). Different oxidants were also examined in this transformation and Mn(OAc)₂ was proved to be the best oxidant giving 3a in 61% yield (Table 1, Entries 6~10). Na₂CO₃, K₂CO₃ and Cs₂CO₃ were found to be inferior compared to KOAc for providing 3a in 25%, 28%, and 30% yields (Table 1, Entries 10~13), respectively, and it was noteworthy that 8-(picolinamido)naphthalen-1-yl acetate reported by Zeng^[19] was not detected, even though the amount of KOAc was increased to 10 equiv. (Table 1, Entry 14). The control experiments indicated that the cobalt catalyst and oxidant were essential, as no reaction took place in the absence of Co(OAc)₂ and Mn(OAc)₂ (Table 1, Entries 15, 16). The reaction was less active when phase transfer catalysts were added (Table 1, Entries 17~20). The addition of other solvent, such as toluene and O-chlorotoluene, the yield was reduced significantly (Table 1, Entries 21, 22). It was found that the yield was decreased when the amount of Co(OAc)₂ was reduced (Table 1, Entries 23, 24). Finally, the optimized reaction conditions were obtained: Co(OAc)₂ (30 mol%), Mn(OAc)₂ (2.0 equiv.), KOAc (2.0 equiv.) in MeOH (1.0 mL) at 80 ℃ for 12 h.

  a Reaction conditions unless otherwise specified: 1 (0.1 mmol), catalyst (30 mol%), oxidant (2.0 equiv.), base (2.0 equiv.), additive (2.0 equiv.), MeOH (1 mL), 80 ℃ under air for 12 h. b Isolated yield. c The amount of KOAc was increased to 10 equiv. d Used toluene as the solvent and the volume ratio of MeOH and toluene was 1:1 (1.0 mL). e Used O-chlorotoluene as the solvent and the volume ratio of MeOH and O-chlorotoluene was 1:1 (1.0 mL). f The amount of Co(OAc)2 was reduced to 20 mol%. g The amount of Co(OAc)2 was reduced to 10 mol%.

  With the optimized conditions established, we began to examine the scope of the reaction with respect to various alcohols. A variety of linear, branched, monohydric alcohol and glycol were well applicable to give corresponding alkoxylated products 3a~3s. Among simple primary alkyl alcohols, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, hexanol gave the desired products in higher yields (Table 2, Entries 1~7). Trifluoroethanol underwent reaction with 1 to form the desired product 3h in low yield under the standard condition. When the oxidant was replaced by Ag₂CO₃, the reaction yield was increased to 53% (Table 2, Entry 8). Moreover, phenylethanol was proved to be effective coupling partners to provide 3i in 72% yields (Table 2, Entry 9). Gratifyingly, secondary alcohol, such as cyclopentanol 2j could react with 1 to afford the desired product 3j in 66% yield (Table 2, Entry 10). It was worth noting that not only alcohol, but also phenol could act as an alkoxylating reagent, affording the corresponding product 3k in 43% yield (Table 2, Entry 11).

  Glycol compounds were always applied as reducing regent in heterogeneous coupling reaction, ligands in transition metal catalyzed coupling reaction, detection groups in fluorescent probes, phase transfer catalysts in organic synthesis and chemical raw materials in polymer preparation, ^[25] therefore, we turned our interest to explore the reactivity of glycol under our reaction condition. To our delight, various glycol, such as ethylene glycol, 1, 3-pro- panediol, 1, 4-butanediol, 1, 3-butanediol, diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol could reacted with 1 to afford the corresponding products in mediated yield (Table 2, Entries 12~17). It is worth noting that the yield of 3n was improved to 75% when n-Bu₄NPF₆ was added (Table 2, Entry 14). Unfortunately, this phase transfer catalyst has no effect on other glycols. Moreover, when the butane- 1, 3-diol (2o) was employed, the desired product was obtained at the position of primary alcohol and no isomer was observed (Table 2, Entry 15). After further research, we found that ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether were all tolerated in this transformation, affording the desired compound in 65%~76% yields (Table 2, Entries 18~20).

  The deuterium labeled organic compounds are widely used in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.^[26] Therefore, we directly synthesized the deuterated methoxy substituted N-(naphthalen-1-yl)picolin-amide (3a') when d⁴-deuterated methanol instead of methanol in the standard condition (Scheme 1).

  The substrate scope of 1-naphthylamine derivatives was explored as shown in Scheme 2. The results showed that the picolinoyl group was the best directing group for this reaction compared to benzoyl and quinoline-2-carbonyl. Halogenated 1-naphthylamine could afford the desired product in low yield and no target product was detected when nitro-substituted 1-naphthylamine was used as sub- strate.

  The directing group was easily removed, and the 8-butoxynaphthalen-1-amine 4 and picolinic acid were obtained (Scheme 3). Furthermore, the ultraviolet absorption spectrum demonstrated that the C(8)-alkoxylated 1-naphthylamine showed a red shifted absorption compared to N-(naphthalen-1-yl)picolinamide.

  Control experiments were carried out to gain some insight into the possible mechanism (Eqs. 1~4). Initially, the addition of radical scavengers, such as (2, 2, 6, 6-tetra- methylpiperidin-1-yl)oxy (TEMPO) and 1, 4-benzoquinone (BQ), significantly inhibited the reaction, suggesting that a radical pathway may be involved in the reaction and the mechanism likely proceeds via an intermolecular single-electron transfer (SET) process^{[18, 21, 23, 27, 28]} (Eq. 1). Then, the Co(Ⅱ)-catalyzed alkoxylation reaction of N-naphthalen-1-yl-benzamide (1) and MeOH (2a) was performed in presence of 1.0 equiv. Co(OAc)₂ and no desired aryl C—H methoxylated product 3a was formed (Eq. 2). This experiment demonstrated that the active Co(Ⅲ) species was possibly involved in this transformation. A kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 1.20 (k_H/k_D) was determined through parallel experiments, indicated that C(sp²)—H bond-breaking was not the rate-determining step (Eq. 3). Furthermore, no D/H exchange was observed when 1a was treated with deuterated methanol under standard conditions (Eq. 4). These results may suggest that the C-H cleavage is irreversible.

  3.   Conclusions

  In summary, we have developed a cobalt-catalyzed direct alkoxylation of 1-naphthylamide with various alcohols via picolinamide directed C(8)—H activation and C—O bond formation, providing a convenient method to C(8)-alko- xylated 1-naphthylamide. A series of alcohols, including monohydric alcohols, glycol, diethylene glycol, and deuterated alcohol were found to be applicable to the reaction. In addition, the directing group was removed under mild reaction and the introduction of alkoxy group at C(8) of 1-naphthylaminde promoted the red shift of UV absorption. Moreover, the mechanistic investigation suggests that this C—H alkoxylation reaction might proceed via a single-electron-transfer process.
