Synthesis of enaminones via copper-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reaction under redox-neutral conditions

A novel copper-catalyzed C(sp3)-H oxidative functionalization of aromatic oxime acetates with α-oxocarboxylic acids was reported. This process involved N-O/C-C bond cleavages and C-C bond formations to furnish substituted enaminones under redox-neutral conditions. The oxime acetates served as both reactants and internal oxidants. Furthermore, this transformation also features good functional group tolerance and needs no ligands or additional bases.

Copper(0)/PPh3-Mediated Bisheteroannulations of o-Nitroalkynes with Methylketoximes Accessing Pyrazo-Fused Pseudoindoxyls

A copper(0)/PPh3-mediated cascade bisheteroannulation reaction of o-nitroalkynes with methylketoximes has been developed that provides viable access to a diverse range of pyrazo-fused pseudoindoxyl compounds. Synthetically useful functional groups including sensitive C-I bonds are compatible with this system. Mechanistic studies suggest a reaction cascade involving sequential PPh3-mediated deoxygenative cycloisomerization and copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] pyrazo-annulation.

Direct access to bis-S-heterocycles via copper-catalyzed three component tandem cyclization using S8 as a sulfur source

A novel strategy for constructing sulfur containing bis-S-heterocyclic compounds from oxime esters/vinyl azide, phenylacetylene/aldehydes and elemental sulfur (S8) has been developed. These transformations show good functional group tolerance. Various bis-S-heterocyclic products were efficiently synthesized from easily prepared or widely commercially available starting materials. In this protocol, S8 successfully served as a two-sulfur atom donor for thiophene and thiazole rings, respectively.

Copper-catalyzed synthesis of thiazol-2-yl ethers from oxime acetates and xanthates under redox-neutral conditions

A novel copper-catalyzed annulation of oxime acetates and xanthates for the synthesis of thiazol-2-yl ethers with remarkable regioselectivity has been developed. Various oxime acetates, whether derived from aryl ketones or alkyl ketones, or natural product cores are suitable for this conversion. Unique dihydrothiazoles were also obtained when both reaction sites were methine. Mechanistic studies indicated that imino copper(iii) intermediates were involved. In addition, this protocol proceeded under redox-neutral conditions and did not require additives or ligands.

Synthesis of symmetrical pyridines by iron-catalyzed cyclization of ketoxime acetates and aldehydes

A novel and facile iron-catalyzed cyclization of ketoxime acetates and aldehydes for the green synthesis of substituted pyridines has been developed. In the presence of a FeCl3 catalyst, this reaction exhibited a good functional group tolerance to produce 2,4,6-triarylsubstituted symmetrical pyridines in high yields in the absence of any additive. A gram-scale reaction sequence was performed to demonstrate the scaled-up applicability of this synthetic method.

Iron-Catalyzed Cyclization of Ketoxime Carboxylates and Tertiary Anilines for the Synthesis of Pyridines

A novel and efficient iron-catalyzed cyclization of ketoxime carboxylates and N,N-dialkylanilines for the modular synthesis of diverse pyridines was developed. The reaction was initiated by Fe-catalyzed N-O bond cleavage of ketoxime carboxylates in the presence of tertiary anilines. The methylene carbon on N,N-dialkylanilines functioned as a source of one-carbon synthon in the reaction. The reaction used readily available starting materials, tolerated various functional groups, and afforded 2,4-disubstituted and 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines in good to high yields under mild conditions.

An efficient synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles via copper-catalyzed coupling of oxime acetates with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates under aerobic conditions

A Cu-catalyzed [3+2]-type condensation reaction of oxime acetates and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates that provides highly substituted pyrroles under aerobic conditions is described. The newly formed pyrroles are easily employed for further transformations to prepare pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline skeletons. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
