In this paper, we describe the use of p-TSA based Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) as alternative environmental-friendly “active” solvents for the microwave-mediated synthesis of 6-substituted 3,4-fused 2-pyranones, and in particular isocoumarins, starting from 2-alkynyl-(hetero)arylcarboxylates. When the alkyne terminus bears a neutral or an electron-donating group (EDG), the reactions are fast, clean and highly regioselective, to give the 6-endo-dig cyclization products in good to excellent yields. For substrates bearing an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) on the alkyne end, the regioselectivity can be tuned by adding a small amount of silver(I) triflate as co-catalyst. DES was demonstrated to be reusable without loss of efficiency in terms of reaction yields. Based on experimental evidence and previous findings, two competitive mechanisms working simultaneously are proposed to explain the outcomes and the regioselectivity issues.
Tandem palladium/charcoal-copper(I) iodide (Pd/C-CuI) catalyzed Sonogashira coupling and intramolecular cyclization from 2-bromonicotinic acid (=2-bromopyridine-3-carboxylic acid) and ethynylarenes to 4-azaphthalides (=furo[3,4-b]pyridin-5(7H)-ones) and 5-azaisocoumarins (=5H-pyrano[4,3-b] pyridin-5-ones)

Several 4-azaphthalides (=furo[3,4-b]pyridin-5(7H)-ones) and 5-azaisocoumarins (=5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-ones) were prepared through a tandem heterogeneous Pd/C-mediated Sonogashira coupling and a 5-exo-dig or 6-endo-dig intramolecular cyclization of 2-bromonicotinic acid (=2-bromopyridine-3-carboxyclic acid) with various ethynylarenes or 3-ethynylthiophene. In the presence of Pd/C-Ph3P-CuI and Et 3N in dry dioxane under Ar at 90°, a mixture of 4-azaphthalides (usually the major product) and 5-azaisocoumarins was obtained after 3.5 h under normal heating (Schemes 3 and 4; Tables 1 and 2). This mixture of compounds was also obtained with the same catalytic system under microwave (MW) irradiation in only 25 min (Tables 3 and 4). The 1-ethynyl-3-methoxybenzene gave on heating only the corresponding 4-azaphthalide (Table 2), while under MW irradiation, both the 5-exo-dig and the 6-endo-dig products were obtained (Table 4). For the 3-ethynylthiophene, the regioselectivity for the corresponding 4-azaphthalide was achieved with both methods (Tables 2 and 4). Although the yields and the regioselectivity of the reaction generally remained the same with both methods, the use of MW allowed us to obtain the corresponding products in a shorter reaction time. From 4-ethynyl-N,N-dimethylaniline (=4-ethynyl-N,N- dimethylbenzenamine), the corresponding 4-azaphthalide and 5-isocoumarin were only obtained under MW irradiation (Tables 2 and 4). To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that this kind of tandem reaction was applied to a pyridine derivative giving the corresponding 4-azaphthalides and 5-azaisocoumarins which are easily separated and may both show biological activity.
