KI-Catalyzed Oxidative Cyclization of Enamines and tBuONO to Access Functional Imidazole-4-Carboxylic Derivatives

Abstract: A simple protocol for the noble-metal-free oxidative cyclization of enamines and t BuONO has been developed. This KImediated formal [4 + 1] cycloamination reaction provides a practical strategy for the synthesis of imidazole-4-carboxylic derivatives using t BuONO both as an aminating reagent and oxidant. The reaction features wide substrate scope and good functional tolerance for enamine compounds, even the unactivated ones.

“…Chen et al [62] have witnessed a metal-free, KI-promoted [4 + 1] cyclization of enamine 59 and aminating agent t BuONO 60 to synthesize biologically valued imidazole-4-carboxylic derivatives 61 (Scheme 33). The methodology shows great potential for the substrate scope over various enamines to deliver the product 61 in moderate to good yields.…”
