Synthesis of 2-substituted quinazolines by CsOH-mediated direct aerobic oxidative cyclocondensation of 2-aminoarylmethanols with nitriles in air

 Author affiliations

Abstract

By using air as the superior oxidant, a highly atom-efficient synthesis of 2-substituted quinazolines is developed by a CsOH-mediated direct aerobic oxidative reaction of the readily available and stable 2-aminoarylmethanols and nitriles. Effectively working as the promoter in the alcohol oxidation, nitrile hydration, and cyclocondensation steps, CsOH is the best base for the reaction. A similar method can also be extended to the synthesis of substituted quinolines starting from methyl ketones instead of nitriles.

Graphical Abstract:



Abstract:
An array of 2-substituted-4,5-diphenyloxazoles were found to be cleaved to triacylamines and diacylamines (imides) using a reagent system composed of 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) and 2,2'-bipyridinium chlorochromate (BPCC). The 2-alkyl-4,5-diphenyloxazoles give imides (38-60%) as the predominant cleavage product while the 2-aryl-4,5-diphenyloxazoles give triacylamines (62-71%). Two mechanisms involving intermediates such as cyclic endoperoxides or oxachromacycles were proposed. An application of the oxidative cleavage to the multi-step synthesis of phoracantholide I seco acid is detailed.

    Visible-light-induced and iron-catalyzed methylation of N-arylacrylamides with dimethyl sulphoxide: a convenient access to 3-ethyl-3-methyl oxindoles

    Abstract

    A visible-light-induced and iron-catalyzed methylation of arylacrylamides by dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is achieved, leading to 3-ethyl-3-methyl indolin-2-ones in high yields. This reaction tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxy, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, acetyl and ethyloxy carbonyl groups. The visible-light promoted radical methylation and arylation of the alkenyl group are involved in this reaction.

    Abstract Image
    The development and optimization of two scalable routes to N-methyl-3-bromo-5-methyl pyrazole is described. The initial Sandmeyer route entailed a three-step sequence from crotonitrile and methyl hydrazine, proceeding through the 3-amino pyrazole intermediate. Due to the GTI liability of the 3-amino pyrazole intermediate, a tedious steam-distillation, and <30% overall yield, we developed a second-generation Sandmeyer-free approach from methyl crotonate and methyl hydrazine which leveraged a condensation, bromination, and oxidation sequence. Process development led to the improved preparation of N-methyl-3-bromo-5-methyl pyrazole with increased efficiency and overall yield. The isolation, handling, and storage of the final product was greatly improved through the generation of the triflic acid salt, and salt form studies are also discussed.

    Asymmetric synthesis of ent-fragransin C1

    Abstract

    The first asymmetric synthesis of ent-fragransin C1 was reported. The key step involves an intramolecular C–O bond formation (furan ring formation) via chemoselective generation of the benzylic carbocation leading to the 2,3-anti-3,4-syn-4,5-anti-tetrahydrofuran moiety as a single diastereomer in good yield. Our synthesis confirms that ent-fragransin C1 possesses 2R,3R,4S,5S configurations.
