Published: January 2020

An efficient silver catalyzed annulation reaction of aryne with nitriles to generate quinazolines is described. Arynes generated from triynes or tetraynes through a hexadehydro Diels-Alder reaction readily participated in an [A + 2B] mode of annulation with nitriles in the presence of AgSbF catalyst. The mechanism was explored by DFT calculations, which supports the silver-catalyzed formation of nitrilium ion as a key intermediate. This annulation generates an array of polysubstituted novel quinazoline derivatives with excellent regioselectivity.

Silver-Catalyzed Synthesis of 5-Amino-4-sulfonyl Pyrazoles from 1,2-Diaza-1,3-dienes.

J Org Chem

November 2024

A facile and dependable synthetic route for 5-amino-4-sulfonyl pyrazoles, which are substantially important in pharmaceuticals, is highly desirable. This work presents a novel cascade reaction for their efficient synthesis. The approach utilizes silver as a catalyst for C(sp)-H sulfonylation of readily available starting materials 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes with sulfinate salts, followed by intramolecular cascade cyclization annulation to afford the desired 5-amino-4-sulfonyl pyrazoles in good to excellent yields under mild conditions.

Here we report the development of unprecedented silver-catalyzed intramolecular annulations of -acrolyl-2-(3-indolyl) benzimidazoles with alkyl carboxylic acids to construct complex fused-pentacyclic alkaloid scaffolds. Divergent reactivities are noticed with altered groups at C2-indole of the substrate. The reaction proceeds through decarboxylative alkylation, followed by dearomative annulation in a domino manner with excellent diastereoselectivity.

An unprecedented radical-promoted strategy involving a domino alkylation/intramolecular C5-annulation of -acryloyl-4-amino coumarin has been devised for the assembly of 4,5-fused coumarin scaffolds. This protocol employs silver-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation for the generation of alkyl radicals from carboxylic acids, which were used as radical precursors. This method has also been extended to a diverse range of carbon-centered radicals generated from 2-oxo acids, a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound, isopropanol and acetone.

A novel pyrazole migration and cycloaddition process is well developed AgOTf-catalyzed annulation reactions of α-diazo pyrazoleamides with ketimines. This protocol discloses efficient access to synthesize a series of spirooxindole-based β-lactams in good to excellent yields and the diastereoselectivity is switchable by tuning the substituents on the α-diazo pyrazoleamides.

Catalytic selective annulation of 2-azirines constitutes a general and modular strategy for the generation of molecular complexity. By using Pd-catalyzed ring opening/heterocyclization associated with direct cleavage of C-N and C-C bonds under appropriate conditions, the formation of imidazoles is presented. Alternatively, the silver-catalyzed radical [3 + 2] cycloannulation of 2-azirines and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds provides highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives.
