Diversity in Heterocycle Synthesis Using α-Iminocarboxylic Acids: Decarboxylation Dichotomy

Despite the structural similarity with imines, α-iminocarboxylic acids have seldom been used in heterocycles synthesis. The reactions of ortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylic acids in DMSO at 40 °C gave various benzo-fused five- to six-membered N-heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular Michael addition of α-iminocarboxylic acids, generated in situ, with an ortho-substituted nucleophile, yielding an isolable unprecedented tetrahedral carboxylic acids, which upon decarboxylation without any aid of additional reagents forms the N-heterocycles. DMSO is crucial in this reaction, perhaps because of improved solubility and the ease of decarboxylation of these tetrahedral carboxylic acids. However, a copper-catalyzed reaction of ortho-substituted anilines and 2-bromoarylglyoxylic acids gave a dibenzo-fused seven-membered N-heterocycle under a basic reaction condition. Unlike intramolecular cyclization with α-iminocarboxylic acids in the first case, α-iminocarboxylic acid undergoes a competitive decarboxylation under the copper-catalyzed conditions, which upon subsequent heteroarylation form the heterocycles. Taken together, the study described herein represents two different modes of decarboxylation observed with α-iminocarboxylic acids, leading to the synthesis of divergent heterocycles and pharmaceuticals, which remained unexplored previously.

Metal-free sp3 C-H bond oxidation and functionalization of α-bromoketones to quinoxalinone, benzoxazinone, and benzothiazinone heterocyclic compounds

A series of heterocyclic compounds (benzothiazinones, benzoxazinones and quinoxalinones) were efficiently synthesized in excellent yields via α-bromoketones with o-substituted aniline (2-aminothiophenol, aryl-1,2-diamines and 2-aminophenol). This protocol accomplishes sp3 C-H bond oxidation and functionalization in one-pot without any metal catalyst.

Destruction and Construction: Application of Dearomatization Strategy in Aromatic Carbon-Nitrogen Bond Functionalization

The formation of carbon-carbon bonds through the functionalization of aromatic carbon-nitrogen bonds is a highly attractive synthetic strategy in the synthesis of aromatic molecules. In this paper, we report a novel aromatic carbon-nitrogen bond functionalization reaction by using a simple dearomatization strategy. Through this process para-substituted anilines serve as a potential aryl source in the construction of a range of functionalized aromatic molecules, such as quaternary carbon centers, α-keto esters, and aldehydes.

Unexpected TFA-catalyzed tandem reaction of benzo[d]oxazoles with 2-oxo-2-arylacetic acids: Synthesis of 3-aryl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones and cephalandole A

A convenient and efficient method for the TFA-catalyzed synthesis of 3-aryl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones via a tandem reaction of benzo[d]oxazoles with 2-oxo-2-arylacetic acids was reported for the first time. The efficiency of this transformation was demonstrated by compatibility with a wide range of functional groups. The synthetic utility of this method was confirmed by the synthesis of the natural product cephalandole A. Moreover, a plausible mechanism for the formation of 3-aryl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones involving ring-opening and cyclization steps is proposed. The present synthetic route to 3-aryl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones could be readily scaled up to gram quantity without difficulty.

Oxone-mediated oxidative carbon-heteroatom bond cleavage: Synthesis of benzoxazinones from benzoxazoles with α-oxocarboxylic acids

A metal-free oxidative cleavage of benzoxazoles using Oxone as an oxidant has been developed. The in situ formed o-aminophenol has been proved to react successfully with α-oxocarboxylic acids affording the benzoxazinones in moderate to good yields. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

[Ir(P-OP)]-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of diversely substituted C=N-containing heterocycles

Iridium(I) complexes of enantiomerically pure phosphine-phosphite ligands ([Ir(Cl)(cod)(P - OP)]) efficiently catalyze the enantioselective hydrogenation of diverse C=N-containing heterocyclic compounds (benzoxazines, benzoxazinones, benzothiazinones, and quinoxalinones; 25 examples, up to 99% ee). A substrate-to-catalyst ratio as high as 2000:1 was reached.

An efficient synthetic protocol for quinoxalinones, Benzoxazinones, and benzothiazinones from 2-oxo-2-aryl-acetyl bromide precursors

α-Bromoketones undergo selenium dioxide oxidation to yield reactive 2-oxo-2-arylacetyl bromides that are trapped by aryl-1,2-diamines, 1,2-aminophenol or 1,2-aminothiophenol to give quinoxalinones, benzoxazinones, and benzothiazinones, respectively, in go

The first general, highly enantioselective lewis base organocatalyzed hydrosilylation of benzoxazinones and quinoxalinones

The first general, highly enantioselective hydrosilylation of benzoxazinones and quinoxalinones has been developed. The chiral Lewis base organocatalysis that are readily accessible from (1S,2R)-ephedrine and (1R,2S)-ephedrine promoted the title reaction to afford various chiral dihydrobenzoxazinones and dihydroquinoxalinones with good yields as well as good enantioselectivities.
