Article Abstract

Over the decades, functionalized heteroaromatic compounds and their scaffolds have drawn significant attention in synthetic organic chemistry as well as in interdisciplinary sciences due to their prevalence in natural products, hormones, vitamins, and their applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, veterinary products, dyes and pigments, bio-imaging, semiconductors, and optoelectronics, etc. This review explores various synthetic strategies for functionalization of numerous 5,6 benzo-fused heteroaromatic derivatives such as indole, benzofuran, benzothiophene, benzimidazole, benzoxazole, benzothiazole and benzotriazole through various methods including C-H activation, cross-coupling, metal catalysis, photo-catalysis, electrocatalysis and organocatalysis in recent years (2019-2023). Highly functionalized heterocyclic scaffolds are the important precursors for synthesizing many bioactive drugs like fenbendazole, viozan, griseofulvin, zileuton, flunoxaprofen, natural products, and optoelectronic materials, etc.

Fluorescent Macrocyclic Arenes: Synthesis and Applications.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Institute of Chemistry Chinese Academy of Sciences, CAS Key Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Function, Zhongguancun North First Street 2, 100190, Beijing, CHINA.

Fluorescent macrocyclic arenes have attracted increasing interest in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry due to their exceptional photophysical properties and versatile applications. Classical macrocyclic arenes modified with fluorescent groups at the upper or bottom rims have long provided valuable platforms across various fields. Recently, a large number of novel fluorescent macrocyclic arenes directly composed of polycyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic building blocks including naphthalene, anthracene, tetraphenylethene, pyrene, fluorene, carbazole, acridan, phenothiazine, coumarin,  triphenylamine, benzothiadiazole and so on, have been reported, and they have shown specific fluorescent property, and also exhibited broad applications in molecular recognition, sensing, bioimaging and functional materials.

Dichlorination of olefins with trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBACl).

Org Biomol Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Amasya University, Amasya, Turkey.

Herein, a new metal-free, molecular chlorine-free, environmentally friendly, atom-economical, short time, inexpensive and simple operation method with mild reaction conditions for chlorination of alkenes, cyclic alkenes, ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, heteroaromatics, and natural products was reported with up to 96% yields using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as the electrophilic chlorine source and TBACl as the nucleophilic chlorine source. It was demonstrated with bicyclic alkene benzonorbornadiene that regioselective chlorobromination and dibromination reactions can be carried out through TCCA/TBABr redox reactions, where TCCA acts as an oxidant in the presence of TBABr. The structures of the redox products were confirmed as a result of control experiments conducted with the newly presented DBI/TBACl and DBI/TBABr halogenation pairs.

The effect of solution pH on the formation and surface structure of 2-pyrazinethiolate (2-PyzS) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by the adsorption of 2-mercaptopyrazine (2-PyzSH) on Au(111) was investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS). Molecular-scale STM observations clearly revealed that 2-PyzS SAMs at pH 2 had a short-range ordered phase of (2√3 × √21)R30° structure with a standing-up adsorption structure. However, 2-PyzS SAMs at pH 8 had a very unique long-range ordered phase, showing a "ladder-like molecular arrangement" with bright repeating rows.

Unlabelled: We have developed novel and sustainable homogeneous catalysts employing Glutamic acid (Glu) as a biodegradable and eco-friendly organocatalyst for the synthesis of -(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-3(4)-yl)isonicotinamide derivatives (-) via multicomponent reactions (MCRs) of isatoic anhydride, isoniazid and heteroaromatic/aromatic aldehyde in ethanol on oil bath stirring at 60 °C. Selected final product homogeneity was examined by various spectroscopic techniques such as C-, H- NMR, FT-IR and LC-MS. For the first time, herein investigated electrochemical behavior of selected derivatives (-) using cyclic voltammetry method.

Functionalization of Pyridines at the C4 Position via Metalation and Capture.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University, PO Box 30012, College Station, TX 77842-30012.

The functionalization of pyridines at positions remote to the N-atom remains an outstanding problem in organic synthesis. The inherent challenges associated with overriding the influence of the embedded N-atom within pyridines was overcome using n-butylsodium, which provided an avenue to deprotonate and functionalize the C4-position over traditionally observed addition products that are formed with organolithium bases. In this work, we show that freshly generated 4-sodiopyrdines could undergo transition metal free alkylation reactions directly with a variety of primary alkyl halides bearing diverse functional groups.
