Article Abstract

First examples of direct vinylation of 1-substituted imidazoles at the 2-position of the imidazole nucleus are described. 1-Substituted imidazoles 1a-e are C(2)-vinylated with 3-phenyl-2-propynenitrile (2) at room temperature without catalyst and solvent to afford 3-(1-organyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-3-phenyl-2-propenenitriles 3a-e, mainly (c.a. 95%) as (Z)-isomers, in 56-88% yield. The reaction is likely to involve the zwitterionic intermediates, which prototropically isomerizes to imidazole carbene and eventually undergoes the selective 3,2-shift of the functionalized vinyl substituent.

In this study, in order to further search anti-inflammatory drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity, this study took the ring of indoles and imidazole [2,1-b] thiazole as the main skeleton. A total of nine new N-1-substituted derivatives of indole-2-carboxyamide-phenylimidazoles [2,1-b] thiazole (13-20) was synthesized through the processes of cyclization, amino reduction, ester hydrolysis, dehydration condensation and acyl chloride substitution. These derivatives were then tested for their ability to reduce inflammation in RAW 264.

Nitrogen-containing steroids are known as prostate cancer therapeutics. In this work, a series of pregnane derivatives bearing an imidazolium moiety were synthesized using Δ-20-ketones as starting material. An improved approach for the construction of the 20-keto-21-heterocycle-substituted fragment involved the rearrangement of 16,17-epoxides with HCl, followed by reaction of the formed α-chloroketone with 1-substituted imidazoles.

Synthesis of 1-Substituted Cyclopropylamines via Formal Tertiary C-H Amination of Cyclopropanes.

Org Lett

December 2021

Zhang Dayu School of Chemistry, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, Liaoning 116024, People's Republic of China.

A novel and facile approach to synthesis of 1-substituted cyclopropylamines via phosphine-catalyzed formal tertiary C-H amination of cyclopropanes was described. The indoles, pyrroles, imidazoles, uracils, 2-pyridone, pyrimidin-4(3)-one, and phthalimide had been proven as good aminating partners. The present protocol features transition-metal-free, excellent regioselectivity, high-atom-economy, and mild reaction conditions and a broad range of substrates.
