Single Electron Transfer Reaction

Functionalization of amide bond via the cleavage of a non-carbonyl, C-N σ bond remains under-investigated. In this work, a transition-metal-free single-electron transfer reaction has been developed for the C-N σ bond cleavage of N-acylazetidines using the electride derived from sodium dispersions and 15-crown-5. Of note, less strained cyclic amides and acyclic amides are stable under the reaction conditions, which features the excellent chemoselectivity of the reaction. This method is amenable to a range of unhindered and sterically encumbered azetidinyl amides.

Alkyl Ethers

A transition-metal-free etherification protocol that is capable of synthesizing deuterated ethers is described. A wide range of aryl alkyl ethers and thioethers were suitable for this transformation owing to the mild reaction conditions. Besides, a series of sterically bulky deuterated alcohols were successfully incorporated into cyano-substituted arenes. The results of mechanistic studies suggested this reaction might take place via nucleophilic aromatic substitution pathway.

Sulfoximines are emerging as valuable new isosteres for use in medicinal chemistry, with the potential to modulate physicochemical properties. Recent developments in synthetic strategies have made the unprotected ‘free’ NH-sulfoximine group more readily available, facilitating further study. This account reviews approaches to NH-sulfoximines, with a focus on our contribution to the field. Starting from the development of catalytic strategies involving transition metals, more sustainable metal-free processes have been discovered. In particular, the use of hypervalent iodine reagents to mediate NH-transfer to sulfoxides is described, along with an assessment of the substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot strategy to convert sulfides directly into NH-sulfoximines is discussed, with N- and O-transfer occurring under the reaction conditions. Mechanistic evidence for the new procedures is included as well as relevant synthetic applications that further exemplify the potential of these approaches.1 Introduction2 Strategies to Form NH-Sulfoximines Involving Transition-Metal Catalysts3 Metal-Free Strategies to Prepare NH-Sulfoximines4 Mechanistic Evidence for the Direct Synthesis of NH-Sulfoximines from Sulfoxides and Sulfides5 Further Applications6 Conclusion

A new transition-metal-free route for the direct sulfinylation of electron-rich aromatics with sodium arylsulfinates in the presence of TMSOTf is reported. Various electron-rich aromatics, including pyrroles, thiophenes, indoles, and electron-rich arenes, with sodium arylsulfinates are converted into the corresponding sulfoxides in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol possesses many advantages such as readily available and stable starting materials, broad substrate scopes, and transition-metal-free reaction conditions.

Background: A convenient and efficient methodology for the synthesis of quinazolin- 4(3H)-ones from simple and readily available 2-amino benzamides and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol using Magnesium perchlorate are being reported in the present study. Good to excellent isolated yields (68-95%) of the corresponding 2-substituted quinazolinones were obtained under mild reaction conditions with excellent functional group tolerance. The affordability of the catalyst, the wide availability of the starting materials, transition metal free synthesis and the simplicity of the procedure renders the present methodology useful in organic synthesis. Objective: A maneuver methodology developed for the synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via using Magnesium perchlorate from 2-amino benzamides and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol. Methods: 10% mol anhydrous Magnesium perchlorate in presence of ethanol give to simply rapid formation of Quinazolin-4(3H)-ones from 1 mole of 2-amino benzamides and 1 mole of aromatic aldehydes. Results: Screening results of Anti-leishmanial showed that out of the synthesized series of 12 compounds, compounds 3c, 3d, 3g, 3h and 3i showed significant antileishmanial activities (L. donavani) with IC50 values 8.39, 9.37, 9.43, 7.1 and 8.7 μM. Conclusion: In summary, we have developed convenient synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-one, from simple and easily available precursor employing anhydrous Mg(ClO4)2 under green conditions.
