New sydnone derivatives have been synthesized and screened for their capacity to undergo fast copper-free cycloaddition reaction with bicyclo-[6.1.0]-nonyne. The influences of substitution in positions N-3 and C-4 of sydnones have been particularly studied leading to the identification of highly reactive partners for bio-orthogonal ligation reactions.
A robust method for constructing 1,4-pyrazoles from arylglycines was developed using the copper-catalyzed sydnone-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The procedure offers a straightforward and general route to the pyrazole heterocycle through a three-step one-pot procedure.
Copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of alkynes with 4-bromosydnones provides a convenient, mild, and regioselective method for the synthesis of a wide range of bromopyrazoles. The broad functional group tolerance of the cycloaddition reaction and further palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions allowed the preparation of polyfunctionalized 1,4,5-pyrazoles that are otherwise difficult to obtain by conventional methods.
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.
