Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Mechanism of DDQ-Mediated Oxidative Cyclization of N-Aroylhydrazones

The controversial single-electron-transfer process, frequently proposed in many 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ)-mediated reactions, was investigated experimentally and theoretically using the oxidative cyclization of aroylhydrazone with DDQ. DDQ-mediated oxadiazole formation involves several processes, including cyclization to form an oxadiazole ring and N-H bond cleavage, either by proton, hydride, or hydrogen atom transfer. The detailed mechanistic study using the M06-2X density functional theory, and the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set, suggests that the pathways involving radical ion pair (RIP) intermediates, which resulted from single-electron transfer (SET), were found to be energetically nearly identical to the pathway without the SET. The substituent-dependent reactivity of oxadiazole formation was consistent with the free energy profiles of both pathways, with or without the SET. This result indicates that in addition to the electron-transfer pathway, the nucleophilic addition/elimination pathway for DDQ should be considered as a possible mechanism of the oxidative transformation reaction using DDQ.

Electrochemical Synthesis of 2,5-Disubstituted 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles from α-Keto Acids and Acylhydrazines Under Mild Conditions

1,3,4-Oxadiazoles are a kind of useful heterocycles which can be frequently found in materials and bioactive molecules. In this study, intermolecular electrochemical cyclization between α-keto acids and acylhydrazines has been developed for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles with the yield up to 91 %. This transformation can be run under mild reaction conditions in the absence of external oxidant, base and transition metal catalyst. Both symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles could be prepared according to the careful choice of the substrate combination. Gram scale synthesis also illustrates the potential application of this protocol in large preparation.

Synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by visible-light-mediated decarboxylation–cyclization of hydrazides and diketones

A visible-light-induced synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from simple diketones and hydrazides with the assistant of the photocatalyst eosin Y catalyzed decarboxylation and cyclization under mild conditions has been discovered. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and gives a variety of valuable 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in moderate to good yields. Finally, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.

Ligand-free Cu(ii)-mediated aerobic oxidations of aldehyde hydrazones leading to N,N′-diacylhydrazines and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles

A Cu(ii)-mediated synthesis of N,N′-diacylhydrazines and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from aldehyde hydrazones has been developed. This is the first time that the synthesis of N,N′-diacylhydrazines and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles using N,N-dimethylamides as the acylation reagent and O2 in air as the oxidation reagent is reported. These reactions offered several advantages including simple workups, ligand-free inexpensive metal salts as mediators, high yields, and wide scope of substrates.

One-pot cyclization/decarboxylation of α-keto acids and acylhydrazines for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles under transition-metal-free conditions

A one-pot KI/TBHP-mediated oxidative cyclization of α-keto acids with acylhydrazines was developed. A series of functional 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized through a tandem keto amine condensation followed by oxidative cyclization and decarboxylation reactions. This procedure was achieved under transition-metal-free conditions and showed advantages including readily available materials, mild reaction conditions and good group tolerance.

Cu(II) catalyzed imine C-H functionalization leading to synthesis of 2,5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles

A direct access to symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,5-disubstituted [1,3,4]-oxadiazoles has been accomplished through an imine C-H functionalization of N-arylidenearoylhydrazide using a catalytic quantity of Cu(OTf)2. This is the first example of amidic oxygen functioning as a nucleophile in a Cu-catalyzed oxidative coupling of an imine C-H bond. These reactions can be performed in air atmosphere and moisture making it exceptionally practical for application in organic synthesis.
