A one-pot direct synthesis of a wide range of biologically active benzimidazoles through coupling of phenylenediamines and aldehydes catalyzed by a highly recyclable nonnoble cobalt nanocomposite was developed. A broad set of benzimidazoles can be efficiently synthesized in high yields and with good functional-group tolerance under additive- and oxidant-free mild conditions. The catalyst can be easily recycled for successive uses, and the process permits gram-scale syntheses of benzimidazoles.

AbstractAlkynes are amongst the most valuable functional groups in organic chemistry and widely used in chemical biology, pharmacy, and materials science. However, the preparation of alkyl-substituted alkynes still remains elusive. Here, we show a nickel-catalyzed deaminative Sonogashira coupling of alkylpyridinium salts. Key to the success of this coupling is the development of an easily accessible and bench-stable amide-type pincer ligand. This ligand allows naturally abundant alkyl amines as alkylating agents in Sonogashira reactions, and produces diverse alkynes in excellent yields under mild conditions. Salient merits of this chemistry include broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, one-pot transformation, versatile late-stage derivatizations as well as the use of inexpensive pre-catalyst and readily available substrates. The high efficiency and strong practicability bode well for the widespread applications of this strategy in constructing functional molecules, materials, and fine chemicals.

A one-pot approach for the direct synthesis of substituted pyrazoles from isoxazoles is reported. The process involves isoxazole N–O bond cleavage mediated by a molybdenum complex, in situ hydrolysis of the resulting β-amino enone to the corresponding 1,3-diketone, followed by pyrazole formation in the presence of hydrazine or substituted hydrazine. Good to excellent yields and regioselectivities are obtained with nonsymmetric isoxazoles. By using readily available starting materials, a wide range of substituted pyrazoles may be synthesized by this method.

We report a visible light-assisted one-pot method for the synthesis of polynitrophenols through radical tandem hydroxylation and nitration of arylboronic acids by utilizing copper(II) nitrate tri­hydrate as the nitro source. This method features mild conditions, a simple procedure, and good functional group tolerance. Compared to conventional methods, this work provides a straightforward approach for the polynitration of aromatic compounds.

A highly selective one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted isoflavanes has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the cycloaddition of methyl styryl ethers, derived from phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals under acidic conditions, with electron-withdrawing ortho-quinone methides generated in situ. When phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals were reacted with salicylaldehydes, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding isoflavanes stereoselectively in high yields and with excellent regioselectivities. The present reaction provides versatile access to functionalized isoflavanes, and constitutes a useful tool for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.

A copper-catalyzed direct sulfoxidation reaction by C(sp3)–H bond activation has been developed. Starting from sample aromatic methyl thioethers with aryl halides, versatile biologically-active arylbenzylsulfoxide derivatives were efficiently synthesized in good to high yields under mild conditions. This new methodology provides an economical approach toward C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond formation.

A multicomponent reaction capable of affording a wide range of novel 7,11-dihydro-6H-chromeno[3,4-e]isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-6-one derivatives via one-pot three-component condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin, aromatic aldehydes, and 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([C4mim][HSO4]) is reported. Structures have been confirmed by spectral and X-ray studies. Crystal packing of 4b has also been reported. Green solvent, short reaction time, easy workup, and high yields are the salient features of the present protocol.

An efficient and convenient copper-catalyzed oxidative chalcogenation of benzothiazoles and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with sulfur/selenium powder and aryl boronic acids was developed. This procedure allows access to a wide range of structurally diverse arylchalcogen-substituted benzothiazoles/imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in good yields and with good functional group tolerance. A biological evaluation revealed that some of the obtained products exhibited in vitro antiproliferative activities on human-derived lung, stomach, esophageal, and breast cancer cell lines.
