Published: September 2024

Appendage speciation-oriented synthesis, as opposed to the conventional wisdom of skeleton speciation-oriented synthesis, is reported herein, emphasizing the maximization of type-, position-, and configuration-variance of appendages. A Co(III) catalytic protocol in accordance with this synthetic modality has been established for the coupling of enaminones and oxadiazolones to imidazoles, allowing the achievement of full position-variance of appendages. This translates to an expanded reaction and structural development scope and can provide fertile ground for productive organic synthesis.

The cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds and their subsequent reassembly into highly functionalized and useful molecules in an atom-efficient manner has always been a central focus in the realm of organic synthesis. In this report, we describe the construction of highly functionalized naphthol esters via a tandem reassembly process, driven by Ullmann-type coupling of enaminones and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Mechanistic investigations suggest the involvement of C(sp)-C(sp) coupling, cyclization, two acyl migrations, aromatization, and additional transformations within this tandem sequence.

Diazo compounds are known to be good coupling partners in the synthesis of heterocycles, carbocycles and functionalized molecules a rhodium carbene-based strategy. Many heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds, including isoquinolones and isocoumarins, quinoxalines, indoles, pyrrones, benzothazines, enaminones, benzenes and seven-membered rings, can be constructed using this rhodium-catalyzed system. The reaction mechanism involves C-H activation, carbene insertion and an annulation/functionalization sequence.

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Coupling of Quinolin-8-carboxaldehydes with CF-Imidoyl Sulfoxonium Ylides by Chelation-Assisted C(sp)-H Bond Activation for the Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Enaminones.

A rhodium(III)-catalyzed aldehydic C(sp)-H imidoylmethylation of quinolin-8-carboxaldehydes with CF-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides (TFISYs) has been developed for the generation of α-imino ketones, which could be readily tautomerized to enaminones in moderate to excellent yields. In the transformation, TFISYs act as a kind of masked alkenylating reagents for the aldehyde moiety, and the obtained CF-enaminone products have been successfully converted into other useful trifluoromethyl-substituted heterocycles.

Iodine-Promoted Thioylation and Dicarbonylation of Enaminone α-C Sites: Synthesis of Fully Substituted Thiazoles via C═C Bond Cleavage.

A novel iodine-promoted difunctionalization of α-C sites in enaminones was demonstrated as a means of synthesizing a variety of fully substituted thiazoles by constructing C-C(CO), C-S, and C-N bonds. This transformation allows the realization of enaminones as unusual aryl C2 synthons and simultaneously allows the thioylation and dicarbonylation of α-C sites. A preliminary mechanistic study was performed and indicated that the cleavage of C═C bonds in enaminones involves a bicyclization/ring-opening and oxidative coupling sequence.
