- Iodine-catalyzed ammoxidation of methyl arenes
-
The development of organic transformation using cheap and readily available substrates under mild conditions will be pivotal for green and sustainable synthetic organic chemistry. Concerning our continued interest in the cyanation reaction, a metal-free direct ammoxidation of readily available methyl arenes leading to nitriles was established under mild conditions. A series of aryl methanes especially heteroaryl methanes (30 examples) were applicable in moderate to good yields with good functionality tolerance.

- AN UNEXPECTED RING-OPENING IN THE REISSERT REACTION ON 2,3-DIPHENYLQUINOXALINE-N-OXIDE.
-
When quinoxaline-N-oxide 1 is reacted with KCN and benzoyl chloride in water (the Reissert reaction) or methanol, the products are 2-, 5- and 6- chloroquinoxaline (the latter being the major product: 42+/-6percent) and small amounts of 2-cyanoquinoxaline.Using three equivalents of trimethylsilyl cyanide instead of KCN, and dichloromethane as the solvent, leads to a 72percent yield of 2-cyanoquinoxaline.The reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide and benzoyl chloride with 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline-N-oxide 2 leads to an unexpected ring-opening product 13; its structure is based on spectroscopic data and on an X-ray crystallographic analysis.
