Published: December 2011

Ruthenium-catalyzed isoquinolone syntheses with ample scope were accomplished through carboxylate assistance in environmentally benign water as a reaction medium. The high chemoselectivity of the ruthenium(II) carboxylate complex also set the stage for the direct use of free hydroxamic acids for annulations of alkynes.

An Organic EnT Photocatalyst 4CzMeBN and the Application in the Synthesis of cis-Fused Azetidines.

Chemistry

Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, School of Pharmacy, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, 646000, China.

A powerful EnT photocatalyst 4CzMeBN has been developed and utilized in the synthesis of cis-fused azetidines via dearomative [2+2] cycloaddition under visible light. The photocatalyst 4CzMeBN is a donor-acceptor cyanoarene and features high triplet state energy and long lifetime of triplet state, which would be an alternative to widely used EnT photocatalyst Ir[dF(CF)ppy](dtbbpy)PF. The photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition provides a facile method to synthesize valuable dihydroisoquinolone-fused azetidines with high efficiency.

In this study, we present the first cobalt(III)-catalyzed direct synthesis of isoquinolones from readily available primary arylamides and internal alkynes through a controlled oxidative C-H/N-H annulation reaction. This innovative protocol eliminates the need for expensive transition metal salts and external auxiliaries, producing the desired mono-annulated product exclusively while accommodating a wide range of substrates. Preliminary mechanistic studies highlight the critical role of copper oxide in facilitating the transformation.

A palladium catalysed construction of fluoroalkyl indoles and isoquinolones through aryl/monofluoroalkylation of allenamides has been developed. Monofluoromethyl-substituted heterocycles could be accessed under mild conditions with broad functional group tolerance. In addition, indole-oxindole bisheterocyclic scaffolds bearing a fluorine atom were successfully synthesized with 3-fluoro-oxindole as the nucleophile by applying this method.

ConspectusTo improve the resource economy of molecular syntheses, researchers have developed strategies to directly activate otherwise inert C-H bonds, thus avoiding cumbersome and costly substrate prefunctionalizations. During the past two decades, remarkable progress in coordination chemistry has set the stage for developing increasingly viable metal catalysts for C-H activations. Despite remarkable advances, C-H activations are largely dominated by precious 4d and 5d transition metal catalysts based primarily on palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium, thus decreasing the inherent sustainable nature of the C-H activation approach.
