Article Abstract

Efficacious protocols have been established to synthesize a structurally privileged Π-extended coumarin-fused pyridone nucleus by activating the vinylic C(sp)-H bond of coumarin-3-carboxamide under the influence of inexpensive Ru(II)-metal. Here an -methoxy carboxamide entity has been exploited as the chelating fragment to manifest C(sp)-H bond functionalization with a concomitant (4 + 2) annulation reaction, resulting in heterocyclic ring-forming protocols along with sulfoxonium ylide and iodonium ylide as representative bench-stable carbene surrogates. This diverse heterocycle formation carbene insertion strategies, is further expanded to activate the -C(sp)-H bonds of different heterocycles by employing the sp-N moiety as the directing group to develop acyl-alkylated/alkenylated quinazolines, isoxazoles and highly fluorescent pyridone--oxides. Intriguingly, during an evaluation of the versatility of the current protocols, a one-pot double C-H activation has been rationalized in the presence of iodonium ylide, which results in biologically potent benzimidazole-fused coumarin-centered bridge-headed polycyclic heteroarenes. Furthermore, a chemo-selective late-stage synthetic transformation is being designed to develop differently substituted pyridone analogues by switching the nature of the reducing agent. In addition, a photophysical experiment was done on one pyridine--oxide compound (7e) and delightfully it exhibited fluorescence quenching activity selectively in the presence of Al ions, which appears to be a unique feature of our methodology. Finally, upon correlation of the merit of the developed pathways, the iodonium ylide mediated strategy appears to be superior.

Laboratory of Industrial and Synthetic Organic Chemistry (LISOC), Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies, University of Calabria, Via Pietro Bucci 12/C, 87036 Arcavacata di Rende, Italy.

2-Propargyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds have been carbonylated under oxidative conditions and with the catalysis of the PdI/KI catalytic system to selectively afford previously unreported 2-(4-acylfuran-2-yl)acetamides in fair to good yields (54-81%) over 19 examples. The process takes place under relatively mild conditions and occurs via a mechanistic pathway involving C-H activation by oxidative monoamincarbonylation of the terminal triple bond of the substrates with formation of 2-ynamide intermediates, followed by 5---cyclization (via intramolecular conjugate addition of the in situ formed enolate to the 2-ynamide moiety) and aromative isomerization.

Synthesis of bicyclic p-diiodobenzenes via silver-catalyzed Csp-H iodination and ruthenium-catalyzed cycloaddition.

Highly substituted iodobenzenes were efficiently and regioselectively synthesized from readily available 1,6-diynes via two-step process consisting of silver-catalyzed Csp-H iodination and subsequent ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of resultant iododiynes. Some of the obtained iodobenzenes were subjected to palladium-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions such as Mizoroki-Heck reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, giving highly conjugated molecules.
