Ru(bpy)2Cl2: A catalyst able to shift the course of the photorearrangement in the Boulton-Katritzky reaction

The Boulton-Katritzky reaction represents one of the most popular and efficient strategies used to realize azole-into-azole conversions. For example, under different experimental conditions, it allows the rearrangement of Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (1) into 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (2) in very high yields. Moreover, we have recently realized this conversion also by UV-photostimulation. Now we have enlarged the scope of the reaction irradiating with visible or UV light an acetonitrile solution of some Z-arylhydrazones (1a-e) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru(bpY)(2)Cl-2. We have observed the unexpected formation of the 1-aryl-5-…

Photochemical isomerization of aryl hydrazones of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives into the corresponding triazoles

The photochemical version of the Boulton-Katritzky reaction has been studied, examining the behaviour of the arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-X-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The effect of several modifications of the substrates structure (the E and/or Z structures of arylhydrazones, the possible presence of substituents in the arylhydrazono moiety, and the nature of substituents at C-5 of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring) on the course of the photochemical rearrangement has been examined.
