Dehydrogenation of Unsymmetric Hydrazo Compounds in Ionic Liquid: Novel Green Synthesis of Azo Compounds

Using NBS (N‐bromosuccinimide) and the ionic liquid (1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) as an oxidation system, twelve unsymmetric azo compounds were efficiently prepared from hydrazo compounds for the first time. In contrast to the known methods, this novel access to azo compounds presented here is operationally simple, environmentally benign and has the advantage of enhanced atom utilization. Furthermore, the solvent and the basic catalyst used can be recovered conveniently and reused efficiently.     

NBS-mediated sequential one-pot synthesis of multifunctionalized thiazoles and thiophenes from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and mercaptonitrile salts

A NBS-mediated sequential one-pot synthesis of multifunctionalized thiazoles and thiophenes from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and mercaptonitrile salts has been developed under mild conditions. This transformation involves sequential bromination/S_N2 alkylation/Thorpe–Ziegler cyclization/regio-selective elimination of a –COR group, affording the desired products in moderate to good yields. The sequence of the leaving reactivity of –COR groups was determined and a possible mechanism was proposed.

nbs与取代苯的亲电反应及其应用

选取含不同取代基的甲苯在不同条件下与NBS反应,考察了溶剂极性、取代基的电子效应和温度等因素对反应结果的影响,结果表明,取代反应的区域选择性强烈地依赖于反应溶剂和取代基的电子效应及其数量。随反应溶剂极性的增强,芳环上亲电取代产物的比例增加;随芳环上取代基的推电子能力的增大,亲电取代反应的优势愈加明显;相反,则有利于α-位上的游离基取代。在此基础上,研究了溴化Q0的合成方法,形成了一条新的、简便的溴化Q0的合成路线,收率达86％以上。     

Efficient and green microwave-assisted one-pot synthesis of azaindolizines in PEG-400 and water

A facile, convenient, environmentally benign, and one-pot synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from 2-aminopyridines and in-situ generated phenacyl bromides under microwave irradiation in polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) and water (1:2) has been developed. The protocol provides a better alternative to the existing method as it involves utilization of in-situ-generated α-bromoacetophenones, avoids the use of lachrymatric α-haloketones as well as volatile toxic organic solvents, and reduces the reaction time to obtain excellent yield.     

2,4,4,6-Tetrabromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone (TABCO), N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) and Bromine as Efficient Catalysts for Dithioacetalization and Oxathioacetalization of Carbonyl Compounds and Transdithioacetalization Reactions

The use of 2,4,4,6-tetrabromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone (TABCO), N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), and bromine as efficient catalysts for conversion of carbonyl compounds to their cyclic and acyclic dithioacetals and 1,3-oxathiolanes under mild reaction conditions are described. These catalysts are also used for efficient transdithioacetalization of acetals, diacetals, ketals, acylals, enamines, hydrazones, and oximes with high yields in the presence of thiols.
