Photocatalytic redox-neutral hydroxyalkylation of: N -heteroaromatics with aldehydes

Hydroxyalkylation of N-heteroaromatics with aldehydes was achieved using a binary hybrid catalyst system comprising an acridinium photoredox catalyst and a thiophosphoric acid organocatalyst. The reaction proceeded through the following sequence: (1) photoredox-catalyzed single-electron oxidation of a thiophosphoric acid catalyst to generate a thiyl radical, (2) cleavage of the formyl C-H bond of the aldehyde substrates by a thiyl radical acting as a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst to generate acyl radicals, (3) Minisci-type addition of the resulting acyl radicals to N-heteroaromatics, and (4) a spin-center shift, photoredox-catalyzed single-electron reduction, and protonation to produce secondary alcohol products. This metal-free hybrid catalysis proceeded under mild conditions for a wide range of substrates, including isoquinolines, quinolines, and pyridines as N-heteroaromatics, as well as both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and tolerated various functional groups. The reaction was applicable to late-stage derivatization of drugs and their leads. This journal is

Reactions of 3-Benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-quinazolinecarbonitrile (2-Methylquinazoline Reissert Compound) with Acid, Base, Sodium Hydride, and Electrophiles

Acid hydrolysis of 3-benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-quinazolinecarbonitrile (11, 2-methylquinazoline Reissert compound) resulted in the formation of the oxazole (13).Alkaline hydrolysis gave 2-methylquinazoline (12) and banzoic acid (8).The anion (D1), generated from 11 and NaH in dimethylformamide (DMF), underwent decomposition to give the ketone (14) and the cyanoquinazoline (15) together with by-products 12 and O-benzoylbenzoin (9).Compound 11 reacted with aromatic aldehydes (10a-c) in the presence of NaH to give the benzoates (16a-c) and by-products 12 and 15.Alkylation (or arylation) with alkyl (or aryl) halides (11a, b) afforded the corresponding 4-substituted derivatives (19a, b) and a by-product 14.The reactivities of 11 and 3-benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-4-quinazolinecarbonitrile (21, quinazoline Reissert compound) are compared.
