Iron(0)-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenative Condensation of Nitroarenes with Alcohols: A Straightforward Approach to Benzoxazoles, Benzothiazoles, and Benzimidazoles

The iron-catalyzed hydrogen transfer strategy has been applied to the redox condensation of o-hydroxynitrobenzene with alcohol, leading to the formation of benzoxazole derivatives. A wide range of 2-substituted benzoxazoles were synthesized in good to excellent yields without the addition of an external redox agent. A series of control experiments provided a plausible mechanism. Furthermore, the reaction system was successfully extended to the synthesis of benzothiazoles and benzimidazoles.

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.

K2S2O8activation by glucose at room temperature for the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles in water

While persulfate activation at room temperature using glucose has primarily been focused on kinetic studies of the sulfate radical anion, the utilization of this protocol in organic synthesis is rarely demonstrated. We reinvestigated selected K2S2O8-mediated known organic reactions that invariably require higher temperatures and an organic solvent. A diverse, mild functionalization and synthesis of heterocycles using the inexpensive oxidant K2S2O8 in water at room temperature is reported, demonstrating the sustainability and broad scope of the method. Unlike traditional methods used for persulfate activation, the current method uses naturally abundant glucose as a K2S2O8 activator, avoiding the use of higher temperature, UV light, transition metals or bases.

Sulfur/DABCO Promoted Reductive Coupling/Annulation Cascade Reaction between o -Hydroxy/Amino Nitrobenzenes and Benzaldehydes

Sulfur/DABCO was found to be an efficient reagent in promoting- the reductive coupling/annulation of o -nitrophenols or o -nitroanilines with benzaldehydes. This method represents a simple, straightforward, and green approach to the construction of benz-oxazoles and benzimidazoles.

Phosphine-phosphonium ylides as ligands in palladium-catalysed C2-H arylation of benzoxazoles

As balanced electron-rich P,C-chelating ligands, phosphine-phosphonium-ylides are considered for their ability to in situ promote palladium-catalysed direct C(sp2)–H arylation. Using methyl phosphonium salts of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphtyl (“methyl-BINAPIUM”) as ylide precursors under optimized reaction conditions, arylation of benzoxazole was found to proceed in moderate to high yield to give functional 2-aryl benzoxazoles. A strong anion effect of the non-salt free ylide was evidenced (TfO? > I? > PF6? ≈ salt-free). This first example of phosphonium ylides as ligands in catalytic C–H activation extends the prospect of their general implementation in homogeneous transition metal catalysis.

Sulfur-Promoted Synthesis of Benzoxazoles from 2-Aminophenols and Aldehydes

Elemental sulfur (S8) was found to be an excellent stoichiometric oxidant to promote oxidative condensation of 2-aminophenols with a wide range of aldehydes, including aliphatic aldehyde such as cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde. The reactions were catalyzed by sodium sulfide in the presence of DMSO as an additive. The benzoxazole products were obtained in satisfactory yields. The reaction conditions could be applied to larger syntheses (10–50 mmol).

Synthesis of Benz-Fused Azoles via C-Heteroatom Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Cu(I) in the Presence of Glycosyltriazole Ligands

Glycosyl triazoles are conveniently accessible and contain multiple metal-binding units that may assist in metal-mediated catalysis. Azide derivatives of d-glucose have been converted to their respective aryltriazoles and screened as ligands for the synthesis of 2-substituted benz-fused azoles and benzimidazoquinazolinones by Cu-catalyzed intramolecular Ullmann type C-heteroatom coupling. Good to excellent yields for a variety of benz-fused heterocyles were obtained for this readily accessible catalytic system.

Synthesis of nickel and palladium complexes with diarylamido-based unsymmetrical pincer ligands and application for norbornene polymerization

A set of diarylamido-based unsymmetrical [PNNox] pincer ligands containing a chiral oxazoline ring have been synthesized and their nickel and palladium complexes [(2-PPh2(R1)ArN(R1)Ar-2-(R)oxazoline)MCl] (R1 = 4-H, R = (S)-4-iPr, M = Pd (Pd1); R1 = 4-H, R = (S)-4-Bn, M = Pd (Pd2); R1 = 4-H, R = (S)-4-Ph, M = Pd (Pd3); R1 = 4-Me, R = (S)-4-Bn, M = Pd (Pd4); R1 = 4-Me, R = (S)-4-Ph, M = Pd (Pd5); R1 = 4-H, R = 4-Me2, M = Pd (Pd6); R1 = 4-H, R = Benzo[d]-, M = Pd (Pd7); R1 = 4-H, R = (S)-4-Bn, M = Ni (Ni1); R1 = 4-H, R = (S)-4-Ph, M = Ni (Ni2); R1 = 4-Me, R = (S)-4-Bn, M = Ni (Ni3); R1 = 4-Me, R = (S)-4-Ph, M = Pd (Ni4)) were tested to show high catalytic activities for polymerization of norbornene. After activation of methylaluminoxane (MAO), all the nickel and palladium complexes could catalyze the polymerization of norbornene to yield vinyl-type polymers with activities up to 40.3 × 105 g of PNB (mol of Pd)?1 h?1. The copolymerization of norbornene with functional norbornene comonomers was also investigated by catalyst Pd2, accompanied by decreased catalytic activity and low incorporation of functional comonomers.
