Methods to afford pyrrolo[1,2-α]quinoxalines often require the use of prefunctionalized aniline precursors, transition metals, and/or harsh conditions. Herein we describe a simple coupling of 1-(2-nitroaryl)pyrroles and arylacetic acids, in the presence of elemental sulfur, to furnish the fused heterocycles in good yields. The conditions were compatible with many functionalities including ester, nitrile, halogen, and nitro groups. Use of benzyl alcohols and picoline coupling reagents was also attempted.

We report a new method for the synthesis of substituted quinazolines by the condensation of 2-nitrobenzyl alcohols with arylacetic acids. The transformation requires the use of urea as a nitrogen source, elemental sulfur as a promoter, DABCO as a base, and DMSO as a solvent. Functionalities such as chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, thienyl, and indolyl groups were all compatible with the reaction conditions. Because our method uses stable simple substrates to obtain the N,N-heterocycles in the absence of transition metals, it offers a potential pathway for preparing complex structures under mild conditions.

AbstractDespite the widespread use of anilines, synthetic challenges to these targets still exist. Selectivity is often an issue, when using the traditional nitration-reduction sequence or more modern approaches, including arene C–H aminations catalyzed by transition metals, photosensitizers, or electrodes. Accordingly, there is still a need for general methods to rapidly, directly access specific isomers of substituted anilines. Here, we report a simple route towards the synthesis of such motifs starting from benzyl alcohols, which are converted to anilines by the use of arylsulfonyl hydroxylamines, via an aza-Hock rearrangement. Good to excellent yields are observed. The method is applicable to various benzyl alcohol surrogates (such as ethers, esters, and halides) as well as simple alkylarenes. Functionalizations of pharmaceutically relevant structures are feasible under the reaction conditions. Over ten amination reagents can be used, which facilitates the rapid assembly of a vast set of compounds.

AbstractWe report a simple method for coupling of N,N-dialkyl-3-nitroarenes, elemental sulfur, and activated sp3 C–H bonds in 2-methylazaarenes or arylacetic acids to afford derivatives of 2-arylbenzothiazol-5-amines. Only DABCO base was required, and many heterocycles such as imidazoles, oxazoles, quinolines, and thiophenes were compatible with the reaction conditions. Our approach offers a simple route to useful substituted thiazol-5-amines from commercially available nitroarenes.

A S8-mediated directed decarboxylative redox-cyclization strategy for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles from o-iodoanilines, arylacetic acids, and elemental sulfur catalyzed by cheap copper metal has been developed. This reaction is operationally simple, ligand-free, compatible with a wide range of functional groups, and provides the desired products in good to excellent yields. In addition, a gram-scale experiment was carried out to furnish PMX 610, an antitumor drug.
