Polysubstituted Indole Synthesis via Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis of Oxime Esters

Polysubstituted indoles are prevalent in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Presented herein is the fact that polyfunctionalized indoles can be efficiently constructed from easily accessible oxime esters and aryl iodides, involving a palladium/norbornene synergistic synthesis. The reaction is enabled by a unique class of electrophiles in palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis, which are oxime esters derived from simple ketone. The broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance could make this method attractive for the synthesis of polysubstituted indoles.

Copper-Catalyzed Annulation of Oxime Acetates with α-Amino Acid Ester Derivatives: Synthesis of 3-Sulfonamido/Imino 4-Pyrrolin-2-ones

A copper-catalyzed annulation of oxime acetates and α-amino acid ester derivatives for the easy preparation of 4-pyrrolin-2-ones bearing a 3-amino group has been developed. This process features the oxidation of amines with oxime esters as the internal oxidant to produce the active 1,3-dinucleophilic and 1,2-dielectrophilic species concurrently. The subsequent nucleophilic cyclization realizes the efficient construction of 4-pyrrolin-2-one derivatives.

Access to pyrrolo[2,1-: A] isoindolediones from oxime acetates and ninhydrin via Cu(i)-mediated domino annulations

A copper-mediated domino condensation reaction of readily accessible oxime acetates with ninhydrin is reported to afford pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindolediones via new C-C & C-N bond formations. A wide range of oxime acetates were shown to generally participate in the reaction to produce the condensed products in excellent yields. The necessary control experiments were performed and the mechanism is proposed to involve sequentially the formation of iminium radical via Cu-mediated N-O bond cleavage of oxime acetates, addition of the radical to ninhydrin and rearrangement via ring expansion.

CuCl2-catalyzed N[sbnd]O bond cleavage of oxime esters: Approach to imidazoheterocycles and furo[3,2-c]chromenyl fused imidazoles

An articulate approach to a diverse set of imidazoheterocycles in good to high yields via a copper-catalyzed aza-annulation of several oxime esters with a group of 2-amino-azaarenes was developed. The above cyclization reaction probably proceeds via a single electron transfer process which embodies a new technique for creating two new C[sbnd]N bonds for imidazole ring synthesis. Gratifyingly, the implementation of this chemistry could be further stretched to the synthesis of a novel class of fused imidazoles bearing a furo[3,2-c]chromene moiety via a sequential C[sbnd]N bond formation, followed by C(sp2)-H functionalization/5-endo-dig-oxacyclization (C[sbnd]C and C[sbnd]O bonds) of in situ produced fused imidazoles with cyclic enynones in the presence of copper(II) as a π-electrophilic Lewis acid catalyst.

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.

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Annulation of Acetophenone O-Acetyl Oximes with Allenoates through Arene C-H Activation: An Access to Isoquinolines

Rhodium(III)-catalyzed annulation of acetophenone O-acetyl oximes with allenoates was achieved, affording isoquinolines in good to excellent yields with high regioselectivities under redox-neutral conditions. Allenoates acted as the C2 synthons in the annulation reaction. The present synthetic methodology features good functional group tolerance and avoids metal salts as the external oxidants. The proposed mechanism suggests that the reaction proceeds through arene C-H activation, allene insertion, and C-N coupling.

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.

Catalyst free synthesis of mono- and disubstituted pyrimidines from O-acyl oximes

Transition-metal or iodine catalyzed transformations of O-acyl oximes to various N-heterocycles are well established. Herein, we report a catalyst free, oxime carboxylate based, three-component condensation method to access mono- and disubstituted pyrimidines. A broad range of substituted pyrimidines were prepared in moderate to excellent yields. Control experiments reveal that in situ generated formamidine is the key intermediate.

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.

Cu-Catalyzed Coupling of O-Acyl Oximes with Isatins: Domino Rearrangement Strategy for Direct Access to Quinoline-4-Carboxamides by C–N Bond Cleavage

A mild domino rearrangement strategy for the direct access to substituted quinoline-4-carboxamides has been developed. This copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of O-acyl oximes with isatins in the presence of molecular oxygen as the sole oxidizing agent proceeds through a ring expansion of the isatins through cleavage of the two C–N bonds.
