Unusual Approach to 3-Aryl-2-aminopyridines through a Radical Mechanism: Synthesis and Theoretical Rationale from Quantum Mechanical Calculations
摘要:
Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane and azobis(cyclohexanenitrile) promoted the easy intramolecular arylation of aryl bromopyridine carbamates through a radical [1,6] ipso substitution process. These substrates showed a preference for this type of reaction over the alternative [1,7] addition. The results were rationalized by making use of quantum mechanical calculations and computer graphics.
Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane (TTMSS) and azobisisobutironitrile (AIBN) promote the intramolecular heteroarylation of arenesulfonamides with pyridyl radicals under thermal conditions. The arenesulfonamides are easily prepared from pyridinium N-2′-pyridylaminide. The heteroarylation process involves pyridyl radical cyclization and ipso substitution.
