Palladium-catalyzed direct (hetero)arylation of ethyl oxazole-4-carboxylate: an efficient access to (hetero)aryloxazoles

A straightforward route toward 2-(hetero)arylated and 2,5-di(hetero)arylated oxazoles through regiocontrolled palladium-catalyzed direct (hetero)arylation of ethyl oxazole-4-carboxylate with iodo-, bromo-, and chloro(hetero)aromatics followed by a two-step hydrolysis/decarboxylation sequence was described. The method was applied here to a neat synthesis of two 2,5-di(hetero)aryloxazole natural products, balsoxin and texaline.     

One-pot propagation of (Hetero)Arylamines: Modular synthesis of diverse Amino-di(hetero)arylamines

Formal propagation of (hetero)arylamine is achieved via a one-pot Buchwald–Hartwig C–N cross-coupling and nitro reduction sequence, enabling a rapid modular synthesis of diverse amino-di(hetero)arylamines from (hetero)arylamines and halogenated nitrobenzenes. Various functionalized aromatic amines with different electronic and steric environments can be efficiently prolongated to formally incorporate another arylamino fragments. This approach has been successfully applied in the synthesis of more than forty amino-di(hetero)arylamines. The applicability of this method has also been demonstrated in the synthesis of oligoanilines and the tyrosine-kinase inhibitor Imatinib.     

Light‐Induced CH Arylation of (Hetero)arenes by In Situ Generated Diazo Anhydrides

Diazo anhydrides (Ar?N?N?O?N?N?Ar) have been known since 1896 but have rarely been used in synthesis. This communication describes the development of a photochemical catalyst‐free C?H arylation methodology for the preparation of bi(hetero)aryls by the one‐pot reaction of anilines with tert‐butyl nitrite and (hetero)arenes under neutral conditions. The key step in this procedure is the in situ formation and subsequent photochemical (>300 nm) homolytic cleavage of a transient diazo anhydride intermediate. The generated aryl radical then efficiently reacts with a (hetero)arene to form the desired bi(hetero)aryls producing only nitrogen, water, and tert‐butanol as byproducts. The scope of the reaction for several substituted anilines and (hetero)arenes was investigated. A continuous‐flow protocol increasing selectivity and safety has been developed enabling the experimentally straightforward preparation of a variety of substituted bi(hetero)aryls within 45 min of reaction time.     

Helicene‐Grafted Silica Nanoparticles Capture Hetero‐Double‐Helix Intermediates during Self‐Assembly Gelation

A mixture of a pseudoenantiomeric ethynylhelicene (M)‐tetramer and a (P)‐pentamer forms a hetero‐double‐helix in a solution, which self‐assembles and gelates solvents. When gelation was conducted in the presence of chiral silica (P)‐nanoparticles grafted with (P)‐helicene, the resulting hetero‐double‐helix intermediate was adsorbed on the (P)‐nanoparticles, and was removed from the solution by aggregation and precipitation. The resulting precipitates contained only the hetero‐double‐helix, not random coil or clusters of the hetero‐double‐helix. (P)‐Nanoparticles did not extract the hetero‐double‐helix from the self‐assembly gels. The hetero‐double‐helix was then isolated by liberating it from the precipitates in 2‐bromopropionic acid, and was crystallized from the solution. The crystalline hetero‐double‐helices were isolated for several other combinations of pseudoenantiomeric ethynylhelicene oligomers.     

Synthesis of di(hetero)aryl sulfides by directly using arylsulfonyl chlorides as a sulfur source

A new, efficient protocol for the synthesis of di(hetero)aryl sulfides is described. Cheap and easily available arylsulfonyl chlorides as a sulfur source reductively couple with electron-rich (hetero)arenes (e.g., indolizines, indoles, electron-rich benzenes, etc.) in the presence of triphenylphosphine to afford di(hetero)aryl thioethers in good yields.     

A novel 1,5-benzoheteroazepine synthesis via a one-Pot coupling-isomerization-cyclocondensation sequence

2,4-Di(hetero)aryl substituted 2,3-dihydro 1,5-benzoheteroazepines (hetero = NH, O, S) can be readily sythesized in a one-pot process initiated by a coupling-isomerization sequence of an electron poor (hetero)aryl halide and a terminal propargyl alcohol subsequently followed by a cyclocondensation with 2-amino, 2-hydroxy, or 2-mercapto anilines. In addition, the structures were established unambiguously by an X-ray structure analysis of 7a.

Sodiation of Arenes and Heteroarenes in Continuous Flow

The first sodiations of (hetero)arenes in continuous flow using NaDA (sodium diisopropylamide) in Me₂EtN are reported. This flow procedure enables sodiation of functionalized arenes and heteroarenes that decompose under batch‐sodiation conditions. The resulting sodiated (hetero)arenes react instantly with various electrophiles, such as ketones, aldehydes, isocyanates, alkyl bromides, and disulfides, affording polyfunctionalized (hetero)arenes in high yields. Scale‐up is possible without further optimization.

Cuboid Vesicles Formed by Frame‐Guided Assembly on DNA Origami Scaffolds

We describe the use of a frame‐guided assembly (FGA) strategy to construct cuboid and dumbbell‐shaped hetero‐vesicles on DNA origami nanostructure scaffolds. These are achieved by varying the design of the DNA origami scaffolds that direct the distribution of the leading hydrophobic groups (LHG). By careful selection of LHGs, different types of amphiphiles (both polymer and small‐molecule surfactants) were guided to form hetero‐vesicles, demonstrating the versatility of the FGA strategy and its potential to construct asymmetric and dynamic hetero‐vesicle assemblies with complex DNA nano‐scaffolds.
