Direct Acyloxylation of C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–H and C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–X (X = Cl, Br) Bonds in Aromatic Amides Using Copper Bromide and 2-(4,5-Dihydro-oxazol-2-yl)-phenylamine
Here we reported a method for Cu2+-catalyzed ortho-acyloxylation of either the C(sp2)–H or C(sp2)–X (X = Cl, Br) bond of aromatic amides with carboxylic acid, especially olefine acids, to obtain corresponding products in good yields up to 91%. The catalyst CuBr2 is cheap and stable to conserve in comparison with other metals, like Rh, Pd, Ru, and Cu+. This simple procedure is applicable for wide substrate
A Cu(OAc)2-mediated C-Hamidation and amination of arenes and heteroarenes has been developed using a readily removable directing group. A wide range of sulfonamides, amides, and anilines function as amine donors in this reaction. Heterocycles present in both reactants are tolerated, making this a broadly applicable method for the synthesis of a family of inhibitors including 2-benzamidobenzoic acids
Quinazolinones have broad applications in the biological, pharmaceutical and material fields. Studies on the synthesis of these compounds are therefore widely conducted. Herein, a novel and highly efficient copper-mediated tandem C(sp2)–H amination and annulation of benzamides and amidines for the synthesis of quinazolin-4(1H)-ones is proposed. This synthetic route can be useful for the construction of quinazolin-4(1H)-one
A Cu(II)-mediated ortho-C–H hydroxylation using a removable directinggroup has been developed. The reaction exhibits considerable functional group tolerance. The use of O2 as an oxidant is crucial for the reactivity. Water is also found to significantly improve this reaction.
Acid-controlled, chemodivergent and redox-neutral annulations for the synthesis of isocoumarins and isoquinolinones have been realized via Rh(III)-catalyzed CH activation. Diazo compounds act as a carbene precursor, and coupling occurs in one-pot process, where adipic acid and trimethylacetic acid promote chemodivergent cyclizations.
