- C?H Methylation of Iminoamido Heterocycles with Sulfur Ylides**
-
The direct methylation of N-heterocycles is an important transformation for the advancement of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, functional materials, and other chemical entities. Herein, the unprecedented C(sp2)-H methylation of iminoamido heterocycles as nucleoside base analogues is described. Notably, trimethylsulfoxonium salt was employed as a methylating agent under aqueous conditions. A wide substrate scope and excellent level of functional-group tolerance were attained. Moreover, this method can be readily applied to the site-selective methylation of azauracil nucleosides. The feasibility of gram-scale reactions and various transformations of the products highlight the synthetic potential of the developed method. Combined deuterium-labeling experiments aided the elucidation of a plausible reaction mechanism.

- Photochemical Reactions of Pyrazin-2(1H)-ones

Irradiation of 1-alkyl-5,6-diarylpyrazin-2(1H)-ones (1a-c) in alcohol under oxygen gave N-alkylacetamide derivatives (2a-e) in 21-69percent yield.The formation of acetamide derivatives (2) arises via the endoperoxide intermediates (3), initially produced by the reaction of the pyrazin-2(1H)-ones (1), which act as their own sensitizer, with singlet oxygen followed by O-O bonds fission, alcohol addition, and rearrangement accompanied by the elimination of the corresponding nitrile derivative.The pyrazin-2(1H)-ones (1a-d) rapidly reacted with singlet oxygen to afford the stable endoperoxides (3a-d).On the other hand, the pyrazin-2(1H)-ones (1a-d) were inert to the photolysis in benzene or methanol under argon.
