Herein, we described an efficient method for the construction of highly functionalized diazirines from the carbohydrazide and diazo-substituted hypervalent iodine reagents. Unambiguous transformation has been designed with user applicable and easy practicable conditions. Remarkably, D-glucose, menthol, aspirin, proline, and lithocholic acid were efficiently diazirinated. Furthermore, the method is mild, robust, and highly selective, which successfully converted a variety of aryl, alkyl, benzyl, and heterocyclic hydrazides into the corresponding diazirine derivatives.
A chemoselective route to thiazolines and thiazines has been devised by heterocyclization of viable α-N-hydroxyimino-β-oxodithioesters with 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride/3-chloropropylamine hydrochloride, which does not require metals or additives and proceeds at 0-60 °C. The overall transformation involves base mediated intramolecular cyclization of α-N-hydroxyimino-β-oxodithioesters to 4-membered oxazete-4-thione intermediates followed by coupling with chloroalkyl amines via tandem ring cleavage and CÀ N/CÀ S bonds formation enabling the construction of thiazolines/thiazines in one-pot. This strategy allows broadening the arsenal of synthetic methods to obtain N,S-heterocycles utilizing substrates prepared according to reported procedures.
A facile and efficient one-pot synthesis of bench-stable quinoxaline N-oxides has been realized using α-oxoketene N,S-acetals and tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) in open air via cascade annulation. The double functionalization of N,S-acetals proceeds through an unanticipated (Csp2)-H nitrosation by NO radical (generated in situ by TBN) and subsequent intramolecular N-arylation leading to quinoxaline, which undergoes oxidation to quinoxaline N-oxides harboring three variegated substituents on their framework. Notably, two new CN bonds are formed with the same N-oxide nitrogen. This protocol features short reaction time, good functional group tolerance and mild conditions without the use of catalyst and external additive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
