Functionalized 2'-carboxamidodeoxybenzoins by ring opening of 3-aryl-1H-isochromen-1-ones with secondary amines

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] An efficient approach based on pyrone ring opening in 3-arylisocoumarins in the presence of cyclic secondary amines was developed in order to prepare amides of deoxybenzoin-2'-carboxylic acids, diverse functionalized

Transition-metal-free oxidative cyclization reaction of enynals to access pyrane-2-one derivatives

A novel and efficient metal-free C-H functionalization of enynals is developed to synthesize α-pyrone derivatives via the formation of two C-O bonds. In this project, K2S2O8 has been introduced as an efficient oxygen source and C-H functionalization agent in regioselective oxidative cyclization reaction with a relatively broad substrate scope.

Triflic acid mediated sequential cyclization of ortho-alkynylarylesters with ammonium acetate

A triflic acid (TfOH) mediated sequential cyclization of ortho-alkynylarylesters and ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) was reported. The reaction took place via a Br?nsted acid-mediated intramolecular cyclization of ortho-alkynylarylesters followed by an ammonium acetate participated substitution reaction, forming isoquinolin-1-ones as the major products. Different from most of the known synthetic methods of isoquinolin-1-ones, no metal catalyst was required in the reported reaction. The regioisomers – isoindolin-1-ones were obtained together with isoquinolin-1-ones in a few cases. The intermediate compounds – isochromen-1-ones and isobenzofuran-1-ones were also isolated. The interconversion experiments showed that the regioisomers formed during the Br?nsted acid induced intramolecular cyclization of ortho-alkynylarylesters. A natural product – ruprechstyril was prepared in a moderate yield employing the new method.

Palladium complexes with an annellated mesoionic carbene (MIC) ligand: Catalytic sequential Sonogashira coupling/cyclization reaction for one-pot synthesis of benzofuran, indole, isocoumarin and isoquinolone derivatives

Two Pd(ii) complexes (1 and 2) featuring a fused π-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene ligand have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Both complexes effectively catalyze the one-pot synthesis of benzofuran starting from phenylacetylene and 2-iodophenol under mild conditions. Complex 1 is found to be an excellent catalyst for the straightforward access to a library of benzofuran, indole, isocoumarin and isoquinolone derivatives by the reaction of terminal alkynes with 2-iodo derivates of phenol, N-methyl aniline, benzoic acid and N-methyl benzamide, respectively. The general utility of the catalytic method is demonstrated using a variety of diversely substituted terminal alkynes and the corresponding desired products are obtained in good to excellent yields. On the basis of control experiments, a two-cycle mechanism is proposed which involves the Sonogashira coupling of 2-iodo derivatives with alkynes and the subsequent cyclization of the corresponding 2-alkynyl compounds.

p-TSA-Based DESs as “Active Green Solvents” for Microwave Enhanced Cyclization of 2-Alkynyl-(hetero)-arylcarboxylates: an Alternative Access to 6-Substituted 3,4-Fused 2-Pyranones

In this paper, we describe the use of p-TSA based Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) as alternative environmental-friendly “active” solvents for the microwave-mediated synthesis of 6-substituted 3,4-fused 2-pyranones, and in particular isocoumarins, starting from 2-alkynyl-(hetero)arylcarboxylates. When the alkyne terminus bears a neutral or an electron-donating group (EDG), the reactions are fast, clean and highly regioselective, to give the 6-endo-dig cyclization products in good to excellent yields. For substrates bearing an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) on the alkyne end, the regioselectivity can be tuned by adding a small amount of silver(I) triflate as co-catalyst. DES was demonstrated to be reusable without loss of efficiency in terms of reaction yields. Based on experimental evidence and previous findings, two competitive mechanisms working simultaneously are proposed to explain the outcomes and the regioselectivity issues.

Lactonization of 2-Alkynylbenzoates for the Assembly of Isochromenones Mediated by BF3·Et2O

A general and efficient lactonization method of readily available 2-alkynylbenzoates affording biologically important isochromenones has been realized via a solely BF3·Et2O-mediated 6-endo-dig cyclization process under mild condition

Regioselective cyclization of 2-alkynylbenzoic acid in water for the synthesis of isocoumarin

In this work, a regioselective synthesis of isocoumarins from 2-alkynylbenzoic acid is reported. The transformations proceed smoothly with good yields in water via a metal-free radical pathway. When catalytic TBAB is employed, the reaction provides various isocoumarin derivatives according to the structures of the corresponding precursors. It is believed that TBAB serves as a phase transfer catalyst and radical initiator in the reaction. Compared to previous methodologies, the synthetic procedure reported herein provides a more environmentally benign route for the synthesis of isocoumarins.

Fluorination-triggered tandem cyclization of styrene-type carboxylic acids to access 3-aryl isocoumarin derivatives under microwave irradiation

A practical and straightforward synthetic route through a fluorination-triggered tandem cyclization of styrene-type carboxylic acids was developed to construct a variety of 4-fluoro-3-aryl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins and 3-arylisocoumarins under microwave irr

Silver triflate/: P -TSA co-catalysed synthesis of 3-substituted isocoumarins from 2-alkynylbenzoates

In this paper, we describe the silver triflate/p-toluenesulfonic acid co-catalysed synthesis of seventeen isocoumarins and two thieno[2,3-c]pyran-7-ones starting from 2-alkynylbenzoates and 3-alkynylthiophene-2-carboxylates, respectively. The reaction proceeds with absolute regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loading, to afford the desired products in good to excellent yields. A conceivable reaction mechanism is proposed and supported by isotope-exchange tests, 1H NMR studies and ad hoc experiments.
