DMSO-allyl bromide: a mild and efficient reagent for atom economic one-pot -allylation and bromination of 2°-aryl amines, 2-aryl aminoamides, indoles and 7-aza indoles.

A mixture DMSO-allyl bromide has been developed as a reagent for an atom economic one-pot -allylation and aryl bromination under basic conditions. Utilizing this reagent, -allylation-bromination of a number of 2°-aryl amines, aryl aminoamides, indoles, and 7-aza indoles has been achieved. The scope of the substrates and limitations, the synthetic utility of the products, and a plausible reaction mechanism have been proposed.

Microwave-Assisted -Allylation/Homoallylation-RCM Approach: Access to Pyrrole-, Pyridine-, or Azepine-Appended (Het)aryl Aminoamides.

A facile and diversity-oriented approach has been developed for the synthesis of pyrrole-, pyridine-, or azepine-appended (het)aryl aminoamides via the -allylation/homoallylation-ring-closing metathesis (RCM) strategy. Microwave condition was efficiently utilized for -allylation of (het)aryl aminoamides to synthesize di-, tri-, and tetra-allyl/homoallylated RCM substrates in good yields. All of the RCM substrates were successfully converted to respective pyrroles , ,, ,, pyridines , , and azepines , via RCM.

2,6-Bis(3-methoxy-phen-yl)-3-methyl-piperidin-4-one.

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(20)H(23)NO(3), the bulky methoxy-phenyl substituents at the equatorial 2,6-positions crowd the vicinity of the equatorial amino H atom and prevent it from forming inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. The piperidine ring adopts a distorted chair conformation.
