ABSTRACT
An efficient cycloaddition of heterocyclic alkenes with nitrile oxides generated in situ from the corresponding aldoximes using organohypervalent iodine(III) reagent, [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (Koser's reagent), has been developed. The oxidative cyclization of various aldoximes with 1-propene-1,3-sultone affords the respective isoxazoline-ring-fused heterobicyclic products in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, the reaction of aldoxime with a cyclic phospholene-oxide under similar conditions produces the corresponding heterobicyclic phospholene oxides in moderate yields. The structures of bicyclic phospholene oxide and two sultones were established by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
ABSTRACT
New pseudocyclic benziodoxole tosylates were prepared by the treatment of 1-hydroxybenziodoxolones with p-toluenesulfonic acid or via ligand transfer reaction between PhI(OH)OTs (Koser's reagent) and substituted 2-iodobenzoic acids under mild condition. Single crystal X-ray crystallography of these compounds revealed a pseudocyclic structure with a short intramolecular interaction of 2.362â Å between oxygen and iodine in the iodoxole ring. Pseudocyclic benziodoxole tosylates readily react with various organic substrates as electrophiles or oxidants to afford the corresponding iodonium salts or the products of oxidation. Furthermore, these compounds can be used as efficient recyclable hypervalent iodine reagents. The reduced form of a pseudocyclic benziodoxole tosylate, 2-iodobenzoic acid, can be efficiently recovered from the reaction mixture by a simple acid-base liquid-liquid biphasic procedure.
ABSTRACT
A new pseudocyclic triflate derivative of benziodoxole (IBA-OTf) was prepared and characterized by X-ray analysis. This highly electrophilic reagent readily reacts with various organic substrates to give the corresponding products in good yields. Furthermore, IBA-OTf can be used as a catalyst with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as the terminal oxidant.
