A modular, one-pot, four-component synthesis of polysubstituted 1,3-oxazolidines

A modular, one-pot, two-step, four-component synthesis of polysubstituted 1,3-oxzolidines is described. The method comprises two linked domino processes: an organocatalyzed domino reaction of alkyl propiolate and an aliphatic aldehydes and a microwave-assisted amine addition cyclization domino process. An alternative modular, one-pot, three-step, four-component synthesis has also been developed by linking the organocatalyzed domino process to a sequential amine addition/Yb(OTf)(3)-catalyzed enamine cyclization reaction.

Copper-catalyzed domino reaction between 1-(2-halophenyl)methanamines and amidines or imidates for the synthesis of 2-substituted quinazolines

The CuI-catalyzed domino reaction between 1-(2-bromophenyl)methanamines and amidines using K₃PO₄ as the base, pivalic acid as the additive, and aerial oxygen as the oxidant gives access to substituted quinazolines in a single step with yields in the range between 43 and 90%. It is assumed that the reaction proceeds as a Cu(I)-catalyzed intermolecular N-arylation followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution and a Cu(II)-catalyzed oxidation. The amidines can be replaced with imidates and the reaction can also be run with 1-(2-iodophenyl)methanamine.

Efficient Synthesis of Novel 3-[5-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-Ylmethanesulfonyl)-4-Phenyl-4H-(1,2,4)Triazol-3-Yl]-1H-(1,8)Naphthyridin-4-One Derivatives

Abstract

of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazide (4) with substituted phenyl isothiocyanates (5) in ethanol under reflux for 30 min gave thiosemicarbazide derivatives 6, which on cyclization in 2N NaOH under refluxing conditions for 1 h resulted in 3-(5-mercapto- 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (7). Alternatively, 7 could also be prepared from following sequence of reactions, i.e., 4 → 8 → 7. In another sequence of reactions, condensation of 7 with chloroacetic acid in dimethylformamide (DMF) and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h resulted in 2-((5-(1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin-3-yl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl)acetic acid (10). The latter, on reaction with substituted o-phenylenediamine (11) in 6N HCl for 4 h yielded 3-(5-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylthio)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (12). Alternatively, 12 could also be prepared by reacting 7 with 13 in DMF and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h, followed by oxidation with H₂O₂ resulting in the corresponding sulfonyl derivatives 14.
