Novel transformation of aryl 2-iodophenyl ketones into 1,3-diarylisoquinolines with (TMS)2NH, styrenes, NIS, and tBuOK

Treatment of aryl 2-iodophenyl ketones with TMS2NH in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 at warming conditions, followed by the reaction with styrenes and NIS gave N-(1-aryl-2-iodoethyl) aryl 2-iodophenyl ketimines. Further treatment of N-(1-aryl-2-iodoethyl) aryl 2-iodophenyl ketimines with tBuOK in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline at 120 °C generated 1,3-diarylisoquinolines in moderate yields through SET from tBuOK onto the iodophenyl group to form aryl radicals, their 6-endo-trig cyclization onto the vinyl groups, and aromatization of the cyclized intermediates. The present method is a novel approach for the preparation of the isoquinoline core via two steps from aryl 2-iodophenyl ketones.

α-Oxocarboxylic Acids as Three-Carbon Insertion Units for Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Cascade Synthesis of Diverse Fused Heteropolycycles

A novel palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cascade cyclization for the assembly of diverse fused heteropolycycles by employing α-oxocarboxylic acids as three-carbon insertion units is reported. This protocol enables the synthesis of isoquinolinedione- and indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolinone-fused benzocycloheptanones in moderate to good yields by the use of different aryl iodides, including alkene-tethered 2-iodobenzamides and 2-(2-iodophenyl)-1H-indoles. Notably, the approach achieves simultaneous construction of both six- and seven-membered rings via sequential intramolecular carbopalladation, C-H activation, and decarboxylation.

Palladium-Catalyzed Amination/Dearomatization Reaction of Indoles and Benzofurans

This report describes a palladium-catalyzed dearomatization and amination tandem reaction of 2,3-disubstituted indoles and benzofurans via the Catellani strategy. This reaction provides a new method for the construction of amino-substituted indoline-fused cyclic and benzofuran spiro compounds in good yields. The reaction has broad functional group compatibility and substrate scope.

Synthesis of Spiro[benzofuran-2,2'-benzo[b]thiophene]-3,3'-diones via PIDA/CuBr-Mediated Spirocyclization

A phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA)/CuBr-mediated construction of the novel 3H,3'H-spiro[benzofuran-2,2'-benzo[b]thiophene]-3,3'-dione skeleton was realized from the reaction of (Z)-3-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(2-halogenphenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones with p

PPh3/I2/HCOOH: An efficient CO source for the synthesis of phthalimides

A straightforward and general method has been developed for the synthesis of phthalimide derivatives from 2-iodobenzamides and PPh3/I2/HCOOH in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2. The reaction results demonstrate that PPh3/I2/HCOOH is a facile, efficient and safe CO source. The whole process is carried out in toluene at 80 °C and furnishes the desired products in good to excellent yields.

A diastereoselective dearomative carboiodination reaction is reported. We report a novel metal-catalyzed approach to install reactive secondary benzylic iodides. Utilizing the unique reactivity of nickel, we have expanded the carboiodination reaction to n

Palladium-Catalyzed Dearomative Arylvinylation Reaction of Indoles with N-Arylsulfonylhydrazones

A Pd-catalyzed dearomative arylvinylation reaction of indoles with N-arylsulfonylhydrazones as coupling partners is developed, which proceeds via a domino sequence involving dearomative carbopalladation, Pd-carbene migratory insertion, and regioselective

Diastereoselective Nickel-Catalyzed Carboiodination Generating Six-Membered Nitrogen-Based Heterocycles

A scalable, diastereoselective nickel-catalyzed carboiodination reaction is reported that avoids metal-based reducing agents. Novel anti-dihydroquinolones and previously unreported tetrahydroquinolines are now readily prepared. The generation of anti-dihydroquinolones is noteworthy, as this selectivity is opposite to that of the Pd variant. Mechanistic insight into the nature of the nickel-catalyzed carboiodination reaction was derived experimentally, suggesting a catalyst-controlled cyclization and stereoretentive reductive elimination.

Palladium-Catalyzed Domino Heck/C-H Activation/Decarboxylation: A Rapid Entry to Fused Isoquinolinediones and Isoquinolinones

A new palladium-catalyzed tandem cyclization of various alkene-tethered aryl iodides has been presented. In this protocol, o-bromobenzoic acids are employed as coupling parters to achieve the insertion of aromatic rings by the cleavage of C(sp2)-Br and decarboxylation, thus assembling various dibenzoisoquinolinediones and dibenzoisoquinolinones. In addition, a seven-membered ring can be constructed by the use of 8-bromo-1-naphthoic acid. Notably, this approach enables regioselective product formation and features broad substrate scope.

2-Iodo-N-isopropyl-5-methoxybenzamide as a highly reactive and environmentally benign catalyst for alcohol oxidation

Several N-isopropyliodobenzamides were evaluated as catalysts for the oxidation of benzhydrol to benzophenone in the presence of Oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4) as a co-oxidant at room temperature. A study on the substituent effect of the benzene ring of N-isopropyl-2-iodobenzamide on the oxidation revealed that its reactivity increased in the following order of substitution: 5-NO2 2Me, 3-OMe 5-OAc 5-Cl H, 4-OMe 5-Me 5-OMe. The oxidation of various benzylic and aliphatic alcohols using a catalytic amount of the most reactive 5-methoxy derivative successfully resulted in moderate to excellent yields of the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The high reactivity of the 5-methoxy derivative at room temperature is a result of the rapid generation of the pentavalent species from the trivalent species during the reaction. 5-Methoxy-2-iodobenzamide would be an efficient and environmentally benign catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols, especially benzylic alcohols.
