Cu(II)-Promoted Cascade Synthesis of Fused Imidazo-Pyridine-Carbonitriles

A Cu(II)-promoted synthesis of an aza-fused N-heterocycle having a benz-imidazopyridine scaffold is developed via an addition-cyclization reaction followed by an Ullmann-type C-N coupling between o-iodoanilines and γ-ketodinitriles. This protocol features a broad substrate scope, giving products in 32-84% yields. The compounds show excellent photoluminescence properties having two absorption maxima in the region between 270-280 and 338-350 nm and emission maxima in the range of 502-533 nm. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap of 3.49-3.57 eV was determined using Gaussian 09 at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) basis set level. We also demonstrated a few postsynthetic modifications.

Visible-light-accelerated pd-catalyzed cascade addition/ cyclization of arylboronic acids to γ- And β-ketodinitriles for the construction of 3-cyanopyridines and 3-cyanopyrrole analogues

The one-pot synthetic strategies for 2,4,6-triarylnicotinonitriles and 2,5-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitriles have been accomplished via a Pd-catalyzed coupling of arylboronic acid with 2-(3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl)malononitrile and 2-(2-oxo-2- arylethyl)malo

One-Pot Quinine-Catalyzed Synthesis of α-Chiral γ-Keto Esters: Enantioenriched Precursors of cis-α,γ-Substituted-γ-Butyrolactones

A highly enantioselective one-pot synthesis of important building blocks, α-chiral γ-keto esters, has been developed by combining a quinine-catalyzed Michael addition of malononitrile to trans-enones followed by magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (MMPP) oxidat

Back to natural cinchona alkaloids: Highly enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to enones

An efficient and convenient highly enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to enones has been developed by using quinine as the organocatalyst. The adducts were isolated in excellent yield and high asymmetric induction (up to 95% ee). An easy r

CYCLIZATION OF NITRILES. IX. SYNTHESES BASED ON 2-ARYL-3-AROYL-1,1-DICYANOPROPANES

2-Aryl-3-aroyl-1,1-dicyanopropanes and 2-aryl-3-aroyl-1-bromo-1,1-dicyanopropanes were synthesized from chalcones and malononitrile and were converted into 4,6-diaryl-2-bromo-3-cyanopyridines and 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones.The 2-aryl-3-aroyl-1-bromo-1,1-dicyanopropanes proved convenient intermediates for the production of the corresponding cyclopropanes and other compounds.By their reaction with urea a new method was developed for the production of substituted 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones.The 2-bromo-3-cyanopyridines contain a mobile bromine atom readily exchanged for the various nucleophilic residues of alcohols and amines and for iodide, and cyano and thiocyanato groups.The 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones were used in the synthesis of 3-aminothienopyridines through the isolated 2-Z-methylthio-3-cyanopyridines.
