An efficient SAr approach for generating a wide array of 2-aryl and 2-alkyl pyrimidines in good to high yields was developed. This methodology does not require precious metal catalysts and is compatible with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl magnesium halides as nucleophiles. This process is scalable and performed at room temperature well below the temperature of the competing decomposition of the activated 2--butyl sulfonyl pyrimidine electrophile.

Synthesis of -Substituted 1,2,3-Triazoles.

Org Lett

October 2024

Department of Organic Chemistry, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Gaußstraße 20, 42119 Wuppertal, Germany.

We present a novel synthetic approach for the synthesis of the 1,2,3-triazole core, with a particular focus on the direct and regioselective synthesis of the synthetically more challenging triazoles having additional substituents at the N nitrogen atom. Through treatment of readily accessible geminal diazides with organic hydrazines under mild thermolysis conditions, a broad spectrum of -alkyl- and -aryl-1,2,3-triazoles are easily generated. For example, geminal diazides derived from ketoesters, ketoamides, and ketones were converted under the reaction conditions.

Highly Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of 2,4,5-Trisubstituted 3(2)-Furanones Utilizing a Au(I)-Catalyzed Oxidation/Pinacol Rearrangement/-Michael Cascade.

September 2024

Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education for Advanced Catalysis Materials, Institute of Advanced Fluorine-Containing Materials, Zhejiang Normal University, 688 Yingbin Road, Jinhua, Zhejiang 321004, People's Republic of China.

A highly efficient Au(I)-catalyzed cascade reaction between bispropargylic alcohols and pyridine--oxides has been realized. The reaction process involved a gold(I)-catalyzed sequential oxidation/Pinacol rearrangement/oxacyclization. Moreover, 1,2-aryl, 1,2-alkyl, or 1,2-vinyl migration was favored over 1,2-alkynyl in the crucial gold(I)-catalyzed Pinacol rearrangement step.

The tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) framework is commonly found in natural products and pharmaceutically relevant molecules. Apart from using transition metal catalysts and chiral phosphoric acids, the chiral 2-substituted 1,2,3,4-THQs are synthesized using amine oxidase biocatalysts. However, the use of imine reductases (IREDs) in their asymmetric synthesis remained unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the synthesis and electrochemical properties of various benzoimidazole compounds, which are being explored as n-dopants in organic electron-transport materials.
  • It highlights that 2-aryl substituents stabilize radicals more effectively than 2-alkyl groups, leading to different reactivity patterns in reactions with PCBM and other compounds.
  • The findings reveal significant differences in reactivity based on structural modifications, with certain dimers demonstrating faster reaction rates and unique electrochemical characteristics, as confirmed through crystal structure analysis.
