Synthesis of 2-Keto(hetero)aryl Benzox(thio)azoles through Base Promoted Cyclization of 2-Amino(thio)phenols with α,α-Dihaloketones
An interesting base-promoted protocol for the synthesis of 2-keto(hetero)aryl benzox(thi)azoles has been developed. Starting from commercially available 2-amino(thio)phenols and α,α-dihaloketones, moderate to good yields of the corresponding heterocycles can be achieved. Notably, only EtNH2 was required as the promoter here, and the reaction can be easily performed on a large scale.
Organocatalytic deprotonative functionalization of C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H bonds using in situ generated onium amide bases
Onium amides, generated in situ from the combination of aminosilanes and onium fluorides (R4PF, R4NF), are employed for the first time as bases for catalytic deprotonative functionalization of C(sp 2)-H and activated C(sp
