Synthesis of polysubstituted furans by palladium-catalyzed coupling of butatrienyl carbinols with aryl halides and triflates

An efficient one-pot two-step synthesis of polysubstituted furans is described using readily available 4,5-epoxy-2-alkynyl esters as starting materials. In the first step, reduction of these with SmI₂ affords buta-1,2,3-trienyl carbinol intermediates which, in the second step, participate in Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization reactions with aryl halides and triflates by a mechanism probably involving oxidative addition, intramolecular oxypalladation and reductive elimination steps. In this manner, up to four carbon substituents are incorporated onto the furan ring, with the aryl group being introduced at the furan 3- or 4-positions. These features make the method particularly suitable for regioselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans.

Synthesis of Some 2-(3-Alkyl/aryl-5-trifluoromethylpyrazol-1-yl)-4-(coumarin-3-yl)thiazoles as Novel Antibacterial Agents

Abstract

Herein, we describe a one-pot synthesis of some novel 2-(3-alkyl/aryl-5-trifluoromethylpyrazol-1-yl)-4-(coumarin-3-yl)thiazoles (6) involving the reaction of 3-alkyl/aryl-5-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-1-thiocarboxamides (3) with 3-bromoacetylcoumarins (5) in the presence of sodium carbonate in ethanol. Reaction of 3 with 5 in the absence of sodium carbonate, however, resulted in the formation of 2-(3-alkyl/aryl-5-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl)-4-(coumarin-3-yl)thiazoles, which were subsequently dehydrated to 6 by refluxing in ethanol in the presence of sodium carbonate. The structure of the synthesized compounds (6) was confirmed by infrared (IR), mass, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectra and elemental analysis data. Newly synthesized compounds (6) showed moderate to good activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

Synthesis of new thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives by palladium-catalyzed couplings and intramolecular cyclizations

Two methyl 3-aminothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylates were prepared from 3-fluoro or 3-nitropicolinonitriles and methyl thioglycolate in DMF/KOH(aq). From the unsubstituted precursor in the pyridine ring, di(hetero)arylamines were obtained by C-N Buchwald-Hartwig coupling with bromonitrobenzenes and with 2-bromopyridine. In the latter case a tetracyclic compound was formed by intramolecular cyclization. Using a brominated derivative in the pyridine ring as a coupling component, it was possible to synthesize C-C (Suzuki and Sonogashira) and C-N (Buchwald-Hartwig) coupling products and a tetracyclic compound obtained by bifunctionalization of the thienopyridine system.
