Direct Difluorination–Hydroxylation, Trifluorination, and C(sp2)–H Fluorination of Enamides
A direct double functionalization involving both difluorination and hydroxylation of enamides is reported. With the appropriate combination of an electrophilic fluorinating reagent and H2O, the most convenient and ecofriendly hydroxylating agent, the preparation of 3-(difluoroalkyl)-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-ones was achieved under basic or Bronsted acidic conditions. Suitable conditions for trifluorination as well as C(sp2)–H fluorination were also identified. Subsequent asymmetric functionalization of the obtained gem-difluorinated products has also been demonstrated.
Synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones via a tandem desilylation, cross-coupling, hydroamidation sequence under aqueous phase-transfer conditions
A simple and expedient method for the synthesis of 3-methylene-isoindolin-1-ones 4 under aqueous phase-transfer conditions has been developed. Starting from 2-iodobenzamides 1 and (silyl) alkynes, the products are obtained in high yields and short reaction times (30 min) with the use of inexpensive CuCl/PPh3 catalyst system in the presence of n-Bu4NBr (TBAB) as a phase-transfer agent. Terminal alkynes are conveniently "unmasked" upon in situ desilylation under the reaction conditions. Alkynes possessing heterocyclic moieties were also found as amenable substrates. Furthermore, a one-pot process starting from 2-iodobenzamides 1, aryl halides (bromides or iodides) and trimethylsilylacetylene …
Benzodiazines: recent synthetic advances.
Benzodiazines (diazonaphthalenes with both nitrogens in the same ring) – cinnolines (1,2-benzodiazine), quinazolines (1,3-benzodiazine), phthalazines (2,3-benzodiazine) and quinoxalines (1,4-benzodiazine) – are important class of compounds with broad biological properties and wide application in pharmaceutical as well as agrochemical arenas. These diazaheterocycles are present in a wide variety of bioactive natural products as well as synthetic molecules that are good drug candidates constituting key structural units responsible for their pronounced therapeutic activities. Their rapidly growing uses and applications in medicinal and agrochemical arenas prompt the researchers for further stu…
Oxygenation of Alkane C−H Bonds with Methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane: Effect of the Substituents and the Solvent on the Reaction Rate
[Chemical reaction: See text] The mechanism of the oxygenation of alkane C-H bonds with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1a) is studied through the effect of the substituent and solvent on the rate of oxygenation of 2-substituted adamantanes (2). The results suggest a remarkable electron deficiency at the reacting carbon atom in the transition state leading to the regular oxygenation products. The linearity of the Hammett plot reveals that the reaction mechanism does not change within a range of 0.15-0.67 units of sigma(I). A change in the solvent does not affect the distribution of the products, indicating a through-bond transmission of the substituent effect as the origin of the deactiva…
