AbstractBecause molecular iodine and hydrosilanes are stable to both air and moisture, reactions using these reagents are easy to operate and require mild reaction conditions. Molecular iodine and a hydrosilane were used to reduce N-sulfonyl aldimines to the corresponding N-alkylsulfonamides. This transformation is a practical method for the synthesis of N-alkylsulfonamides.

The title compounds were synthesized from 5,5-dimethyl­cyclohexane-1,3-dione, benzaldehyde, and malononitrile promoted by molecular iodine in basic medium via 2-amino-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-4-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile, by a novel protocol. The protocol involves a novel rearrangement in which the 4H-chromene fragment dissociates to a cyclopropane moiety and rearranges to the five-membered compound 6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofuran-3,3(2H)-dicarbonitrile. Simple reaction conditions, excellent yields, and high compatibility are the advantages of this protocol.

Substituted morpholin-2-one derivatives were readily obtained in two steps starting from commercially available N-protected amino acids. In a metal-free and practical method, a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid was sufficient to generate morpholinones under mild reaction conditions in an intramolecular hydroamination reaction in good to excellent yields.

In the present study, a practical method to prepare piperazinyl amides of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid was developed. Two main procedures for the construction of important intermediate 8 are discussed. One procedure involves the amidation of 1-Boc-piperazine with 3-acetyl-18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, prepared by the reaction of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid with acetic anhydride without any solvent at 130 °C. The other procedure to prepare compound 8 involves the amidation of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid followed by the esterification with acetic anhydride. Finally, compound 8 underwent N-Boc deprotection to prepare product 4. To ascertain the scope of the reaction, another C-3 ester derivative 17 was tested under the optimized reaction conditions. Furthermore, the reasons for the appearance of byproducts were elucidated. Crystallographic data of a selected piperazinyl amide is reported.

A one-pot three-component synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones via a molecular iodine-catalyzed tandem reaction of simple readily available mono-substituted urea, alkylaldehyde, and arylaldehyde has been developed. The reaction proceeds with high chemo- and regioselectivity to give highly diverse dihydropyrimidinones in reasonable yields under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the first catalytic enantioselective version of this reaction was also realized by using chiral spirocyclic SPINOL-phosphoric acids.

Abstract C–C bond formation is one of the most fundamental approaches toward molecular diversity in organic synthesis. In pursuit of environmentally friendlier chemical approaches to organic chemistry, we present a new metal-free method for direct dehydrative cross-coupling of alcohols and alkenes using molecular iodine as a Lewis acid catalyst under solvent-free reaction conditions. The reaction is atom-economical, tolerant to air and allows simple synthetic procedure, furnishing Csp3–Csp2 coupling products with yields up to 97%. The method has proved efficient for coupling of secondary benzyl alcohols with phenyl-substituted alkenes.

A highly efficient method for the C–N bond formation via 2 mol% of molecular iodine-catalysed amidation reaction of benzylic and allylic alcohols with carboxamides or sulfonamides in MeCN is described, giving the corresponding substituted amides and allylic amides in moderate to excellent yields. The significan features of the procedure include mild and metal-free reaction conditions, operational simplicity, inexpensive reagents, short reaction time, and good yields.

The carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction is a synthetically valuable transformation that could facilitate rapid functional group interconversion and construction of new organic structures. Herein we demonstrate that elemental iodine, a very simple and mild catalyst, can efficiently promote this chemical transformation under mild reaction conditions with excellent outcomes. Our mechanistic studies revealed intriguing aspects of iodine activation mode that could change the previously established perception of catalyst and substrate design for the carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction.

Objective: Aminomethylphenol molecules have wider applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, plant protection and promising functional materials. The development of an efficient and practical method to prepare this class of compound is highly desirable from both environmental and economical points of views. Materials and Methods: In order to establish an effective synthetic method for preparing aminomethylphenol derivatives, the Petasis borono-Mannich reaction of salicylaldehyde, phenylboronic acid and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline was selected as a model reaction. A variety of reaction conditions are investigated including solvent and temperature. The generality and limitation of the established method were also evaluated. Results and Discussion: It was found that model reaction can be carried out in cyclopentyl methyl ether at 80 oC under catalyst-free condition. This protocol with a broad substrate applicability, the reaction of various arylboronic acid, secondary amine and salicylaldehyde proceeded smoothly under optimal reaction conditions to afforded various aminomethylphenol derivatives in high yields. A practical, scalable, and high-yielding synthesis of aminomethylphenol derivatives was successfully accomplished. Conclusion: A catalyst-free practical method for the synthesis of minomethylphenol derivatives based on Petasis borono– Mannich (PBM) reaction of various arylboronic acid, secondary amine and salicylaldehyde in cyclopentyl methyl ether has been developed. The salient features of this protocol are avoidance of any additive/catalyst and toxic organic solvents, use cyclopentyl methyl ether as the reaction medium, clean reaction profiles, easy operation, and high to excellent yield.
