Copper-Catalyzed Intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] Annulation of Diynes with Alkynes: Construction of Carbazoles.

Org Lett

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology of Fujian Province and State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China.

Transition-metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of alkynes is an efficient pathway for the synthesis of aromatic compounds. However, most of the established methods require noble metal catalysts. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of diynes with alkynes through vinyl cation intermediates, enabling the atom-economical preparation of biologically important carbazole skeletons.

The chemical recycling of polystyrene (PS) waste to value-added aromatic compounds is an attractive but formidable challenge due to the inertness of the C-C bonds in the polymer backbone. Here we develop a light-driven, copper-catalyzed protocol to achieve aerobic oxidation of various alkylarenes or real-life PS waste to benzoic acid and oxidized styrene oligomers. The resulting oligomers can be further transformed under heating conditions, thus achieving benzoic acid in up to 65% total yield through an integrated one-pot two-step procedure.

Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric C(sp)-H Benzylation: Stereoselective Synthesis of Unnatural Aromatic Amino Acids.

Key Laboratory of Preclinical Study for New Drugs of Gansu Province, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Lanzhou University, 199 West Donggang Road, Lanzhou 730000, China.

The general synthesis of chiral unnatural aromatic amino acids has rarely been reported. We herein describe a visible light-promoted copper-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp)-H benzylation of glycine derivatives. The method demonstrated compatibility in coupling various -hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) esters derived from aromatic acids with glycine derivatives, providing a general protocol for synthesizing analogues of phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine.

Article Synopsis
  • A new protocol has been developed for transforming alkenylsulfonium salts into difluoromethylated alkenes using copper catalysis and a specific reagent called the Vicic-Mikami reagent.
  • This method allows for the selective synthesis of either aromatic or aliphatic difluoromethylated alkenes and can also be applied to perfluoroalkylation processes.
  • The protocol is designed for large-scale synthesis, making it suitable for various applications in chemical production.

In this study, 5-(2-bromoaryl)tetrazoles were reacted with 1,3-diketones in DMF in the presence of a catalytic amount of magnetic Cu-MOF-74 (FeO@SiO@Cu-MOF-74) and a base under microwave irradiation to yield the corresponding 1-aminoisoquinolines. The FeO@SiO@Cu-MOF-74 catalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused four times without any significant loss of catalytic activity. An initial copper-catalyzed C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation accompanied by -Claisen deacylative cyclocondensation (for acyclic 1,3-diketones) and direct cyclocondensation (for cyclohexane-1,3-diones) is proposed as a key reaction pathway for this process.
