Efficient synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one was achieved by CsF/18-crown-6 mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile imine and 2.0 MPa of CO. CsF/18-crown-6 played a key role in enhancing the reactivity of CO as a 1,3-dipolarophile. The practical utility of this transition-metal-free approach to 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one is highlighted by the convenient synthesis of a commercial herbicide Oxadiazon and a MAO B inhibitor.

Benzothiazole and benzoxazole heterocyclic ring-containing 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles are well known for their wide range of applications in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, but their high-yielding metal-free selective synthesis has always remained challenging as no comprehensive simple protocol has been outlined to date. Owing to their structural and medicinal importance, herein, we synthesized various benzothiazole and benzoxazole heterocyclic ring-containing 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles in high to excellent yields with chemo-/regioselectivity from the library of benzothiazole/benzoxazole-ketones and aryl/alkyl-azides through an enolate-mediated organocatalytic azide-ketone [3 + 2]-cycloaddition under ambient conditions in a few hours. The commercial availability or quick synthesis of the starting materials and catalysts, a diverse substrate scope, chemo-/regioselectivity, quick synthesis of pharmaceutically active known compounds and their analogues, and numerous medicinal applications of functionalized benzothiazole/benzoxazole-triazoles are the key attractions of this metal-free organo-click reaction.

Base-Promoted [4 + 1 + 1] Multicomponent Tandem Cycloaddition of -Substituted Nitroarenes, Aldehydes, and Ammonium Salts To Access 2,4-Substituted Quinazoline Frameworks.

We report a base-promoted, metal-free multicomponent tandem reaction, involving a [4 + 1 + 1] cycloaddition process between -substituted nitroarenes, aldehydes, and ammonium salts. Modifying the substituents on the nitroaromatic compounds effectively provides structurally diverse 2-substituted and 4-alkenylquinazolines with good to excellent yields (77%-90% and quinazoline 51 examples) and high tolerance for various inorganic ammonium salts (13 examples, such as NH·HO, NHCl, and NHHF). A new method for constructing 2,4-substituted quinazoline compounds with high selectivity from simple nitrogen source compounds was developed, and the reaction can be scaled up to a gram scale.

This study introduces a new donor group capable of activating click-type [2+2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclizations, generally known for their limited scope. Target chromophores were synthesized using isocyanate-free urethane synthesis. The developed synthetic method allows for the tuning of the optical properties of the chromophores by modifying the donor groups, the acceptor units, and the side chains.

The enantioselective domino Heck/cross-coupling has emerged as a powerful tool in modern chemical synthesis for decades. Despite significant progress in relative rigid skeleton substrates, the implementation of asymmetric Heck/cross-coupling cascades of highly flexible haloalkene substrates remains a challenging and and long-standing goal. Here we report an efficient asymmetric domino Heck/Tsuji-Trost reaction of highly flexible vinylic halides with 1,3-dienes enabled by palladium catalysis.
