RESUMO
A concise, one-pot route to oxazoles and furocoumarins has been reported. The key step in this transformation involves in situ generation of N-acyliminium ion (NAI) precursor under catalyst and solvent-free conditions and their further transformations promoted by superacid in the same pot. We have also presented the experimental evidence for the involvement of proto-solvated novel exocyclic N-acyliminium ion. Further, the UV-visible and fluorescence studies revealed that few of the compounds reported here exhibited emission of blue light upon irradiation in EtOH in the region of 404-422 nm.
RESUMO
Trifluoromethyl-substituted heteroarenes are biologically active compounds and useful building blocks. In this sequence, we have developed a visible-light-promoted regioselective C3-H trifluoromethylation of 2 H-indazole under metal-free conditions, which proceeds via a radical mechanism. The combination of photocatalysis and hypervalent iodine reagent provides a practical approach to a library of trifluoromethylated indazoles in 35-83% yields.
RESUMO
Organoiodine(III)-promoted C(sp3)-H azidation was a key step for the cycloaminative process. An unprecedented method for metal-free dehydrogenative N-incorporation into C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bonds for the synthesis of diverse imidazoles has been disclosed. The overall transformation involves the construction of four C-N bonds through hydroamination-azidation-cyclization sequence. The reaction can be easily handled and proceeds under mild conditions. Further, the potential of the present strategy is revealed by the practical synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors.
