Practical Synthesis of Phthalimides and Benzamides by a Multicomponent Reaction Involving Arynes, Isocyanides, and CO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O
Transition-metal-free
multicomponent reactions involving arynes
and isocyanides with either CO<sub>2</sub> or H<sub>2</sub>O have
been reported. With CO<sub>2</sub> as the third component, the reactions
resulted in the formation of <i>N</i>-substituted phthalimides.
The utility of water as the third component furnished benzamide derivatives
in moderate to good yields. These reactions took place under mild
conditions with broad scope
N‑Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Aza-Michael–Mannich–Lactamization Cascade for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Pyrazoloquinolin-3-ones
The
enantioselective synthesis of functionalized pyrazoloquinolin-3-ones
via N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed cascade reaction of α-bromoenals
with 2-aminoaryl N-tosyl hydrazones is reported.
The in situ-generated α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums underwent
an aza-Michael–Mannich–lactamization sequence to afford
the tricyclic products bearing three contiguous stereocenters, including
a sterically demanding quaternary stereocenter with high enantioselectivity.
The unprotected amine-triggered aza-Michael pathway over the competing
amidation pathway is noteworthy
Facile Synthesis of γ‑Ketophosphonates by an Intermolecular Stetter Reaction onto Vinylphosphonates
The
atom-economic and practical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed
Stetter reaction for the synthesis of Îł-ketophosphonates by
the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with vinylphosphonates is reported.
The NHC derived from <i>N</i>-mesitylimidazolium salt (IMes)
was an effective catalyst for this transformation, and the products
were formed in moderate to good yields
Employing Arynes in Transition-Metal-Free Monoarylation of Aromatic Tertiary Amines
The highly monoselective N-arylation of aromatic tertiary amines using a transition-metal-free approach using arynes has been developed. The reaction afforded functionalized diaryl amines in moderate to excellent yield. High levels of functional group compatibility especially with halogen containing substrates, dyes and donor–acceptor systems, and high yields of products are the notable features of the present reaction
NHC-Catalyzed Reaction of Enals with Hydroxy Chalcones: Diastereoselective Synthesis of Functionalized Coumarins
The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed annulation of enals with 2′-hydroxy chalcones afford cyclopentane-fused coumarin derivatives with an excellent level of diastereocontrol. The reaction tolerates a broad range of functional groups; 25 examples are given, and a preliminary mechanistic investigation is provided
Efficient Diels–Alder Reaction of 1,2-Benzoquinones with Arynes and Its Utility in One-Pot Reactions
A new protocol for the efficient Diels–Alder reaction of 1,2-benzoquinones with arynes is reported. The aryne generated by the fluoride-induced 1,2-elimination of 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates undergoes a facile Diels–Alder reaction with 1,2-benzoquinones, affording the dioxobenzobicyclooctadienes in moderate to excellent yields. In addition, this methodology has been applied to the one-pot synthesis of benzoquinoxalinobarrelene and naphthalene derivatives
Employing Arynes for the Generation of Aryl Anion Equivalents and Subsequent Reaction with Aldehydes
Arynes
are highly reactive intermediates, which are utilized for
the electrophilic arylation of various X–H bonds (X = O, N,
S etc.). Herein, a new synthetic strategy is demonstrated, where arynes
are converted into aryl anion equivalents by treatment with phosphines
and a base. The addition of phosphines to arynes form the phosphonium
salts, which in the presence of a carbonate base generates the aryl
anion equivalent. Subsequent addition of the aryl anions with aldehydes
afforded the secondary alcohols
Synthesis of <i>N</i>‑Aryl β‑Amino Alcohols by Trifluoroacetic Acid Promoted Multicomponent Coupling of Aziridines, Arynes, and Water
A transition-metal-free, three-component
coupling involving <i>N</i>-substituted aziridines, arynes,
and water promoted by
trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) has been reported. The reaction furnished
medicinally important <i>N</i>-aryl β-amino alcohol
derivatives in moderate to good yields. In addition, the use of azetidines
in this reaction afforded <i>N</i>-aryl Îł-amino alcohol
derivatives
N‑Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of Spiro-glutarimides via α,β-Unsaturated Acylazoliums
NHC-catalyzed
enantioselective [3 + 3] spiro-annulation of α,β-unsaturated
aldehydes with cyclic β-ketoamides allowing the preparation
of synthetically and biologically important spiro-glutarimide derivatives
has been reported. The interception of the ketoamides with catalytically
generated chiral α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums proceeds
in a Michael addition–intramolecular amidation pathway to deliver
the spirocyclic products with good yield, diastereoselectivity, and
enantioselectivity
Multicomponent Reactions Involving Arynes, Quinolines, and Aldehydes
The multicomponent reaction involving arynes, quinolines, and aldehydes leading to the diastereoselective synthesis of benzoxazino quinoline derivatives in good yields proceeding via 1,4-zwitterionic intermediates is reported. In addition, the synthetic potential of various carbonyl compounds in this reaction as well as the utility of isoquinoline as the nucleophilic trigger has been examined
