Cu-Catalyzed Relay Functionalization of Alkenes: Diverse Synthesis of Diazidated Quinazolinones and Polycyclic Imidazoles.

Org Lett

A Cu-catalyzed relay process for the preparation of diazidated quinazolinone and polycyclic imidazole derivatives in which readily available alkene-tethered substrates undergo an addition/cyclization/C(sp)-H functionalization of alkene sequences with high efficiency is described. Various functionalized N-heteropolycyclic compounds were readily prepared in good yields with a broad substrate scope. Moreover, the direct azidation of the α-C(sp)-H bond of the corresponding N-heterocycles has been demonstrated on the basis of mechanistic studies, which provide an alternative late-stage functionalization approach for the derivatization of N-heterocyclic scaffolds.

Article Synopsis
  • Aromatic substitution can be enhanced by a prior redox reaction, specifically in redox-active aromatic compounds.
  • Research highlights pathways for redox-induced substitution (RIAS) involving a redox-active guanidino-functionalized aromatic molecule (GFA) interacting with amines or guanidines.
  • Oxidizing the GFA changes its role from a nucleophile to an electrophile, allowing for the creation of new N-heteropolycyclic structures and unsymmetrically-substituted aromatic compounds in synthetic chemistry.

N-Heteropolycyclic aromatic compounds are promising organic semiconductors for applications in field effect transistors and solar cells. Thereby the electronic structure of organic/metal interfaces and thin films is essential for the performance of organic-molecule-based devices. Here, we studied the structural and the electronic properties of 6,7,12,13-tetraazapentacene (TAP) adsorbed on Au(111) using vibrational and electronic high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy in combination with state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations.

N-heteropolycyclic aromatic compounds are promising organic electron-transporting semiconductors for applications in field-effect transistors. Here, we investigated the electronic properties of 1,3,8,10-tetraazaperopyrene derivatives adsorbed on Au(111) using a complementary experimental approach, namely, scanning tunneling spectroscopy and two-photon photoemission combined with state-of-the-art density functional theory. We find signatures of weak physisorption of the molecular layers, such as the absence of charge transfer, a nearly unperturbed surface state, and an intact herringbone reconstruction underneath the molecular layer.

Efficient charge injection at organic semiconductor/metal interfaces is crucial for the performance of organic field effect transistors. Interfacial hybrid band formation between electronic states of the organic compound and the metal electrode facilitates effective charge injection. Here, we show that a long-range ordered monolayer of a flat-lying N-heteropolycyclic aromatic compound on Au(111) leads to dispersing occupied and unoccupied interfacial hybrid bands.
