I2/TBHP mediated multiple C[sbnd]H bonds functionalization of azaarenes with methylarenes to synthesize iodoisoquinolinones via iodination/N-benzylation/amidation sequence

An oxidative multi-functionalization of azaarenes with benzylic C[sbnd]H bonds of methylarenes via iodination/N-benzylation/amidation cascade, to produce N-benzyl-4-iodoisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones and N-benzyl-3-iodoquinolin-2(1H)-ones is developed. The molecular iodine plays a triple role in activating benzylic sp3 C[sbnd]H bond of methylbenzenes, accelerating the oxidation process and serving as iodination reagent. This reaction utilizes cheap and readily available azaarenes and methylarenes as starting materials and proceeds under metal-free conditions to construct C-I, C[sbnd]N and C[dbnd]O bonds consecutively and afford iodo(iso)quinolinones efficiently.

Iodination/Amidation of the N-Alkyl (Iso)quinolinium Salts

The NaIO4-mediated sequential iodination/amidation reaction of N-alkyl quinolinium iodide salts has been first developed. This cascade process provides an efficient way to rapidly synthesize 3-iodo-N-alkyl quinolinones with high regioselectivity and good functional group tolerance. This protocol was also amenable to the isoquinolinium salts, thus providing a complementary method for preparing the 4-iodo-N-alkyl isoquinolinones.

Synthesis of 4-Iodoisoquinolin-1(2 H)-ones by a Dirhodium(II)-Catalyzed 1,4-Bisfunctionalization of Isoquinolinium Iodide Salts

An efficient Rh2(II,II)-catalyzed reaction has been developed under mild conditions. This synthetic method proceeds through iodination/oxidation of readily available isoquinolinium iodide salts under aerobic conditions with good to excellent yields. 4-Iodoisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones are important building blocks for biologically and medicinally important compounds. The developed methodology was applied to the gram-scale synthesis of a key intermediate in the synthesis of the CRTH2 antagonist CRA-680.

Iodine-Catalyzed Oxidative Functionalization of Azaarenes with Benzylic C(sp3)-H Bonds via N-Alkylation/Amidation Cascade: Two-Step Synthesis of Isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-7(5H)-one

An efficient and practical iodine-catalyzed oxidative functionalization of azaarenes with benzylic C-H bonds via an N-alkylation and amidation cascade is developed to provide isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones. This method utilizes readily available unfunctionalized azaarenes and methylarenes as starting materials and proceeds under metal-free conditions with good to excellent yields, avoiding the use of expensive noble metal catalysts and generation of halide and metal wastes. The synthetic utility of this reaction is exemplified by the concise, two-step synthesis of isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-7(5H)-one.
