Copper-catalyzed direct oxidative C(sp 2 )-H α -sulfenylation of enaminones with disulfides or thiophenols: Synthesis of polyfunctionalized aminothioalkenes
A copper(II)-catalyzed protocol for the construction of aminothioalkenes has been achieved that is based on the reaction of enaminones with disulfides/thiophenols in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to give good to excellent yields. This study provides a new strategy for the formation of C (sp(2))-S bonds via direct alpha-sulfenylation of C(sp(2))-H bonds. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A Unique 1,2-Acyl Migration for the Construction of Quaternary Carbon by Visible Light Irradiation of Platinum(II) Polypyridyl Complex and Molecular Oxygen
A unique 1,2-acyl migration for the construction of quaternary carbon in a one-pot reaction under visible light is described. By irradiating a platinum(II) polypyridyl complex with visible light, enamine 1 is able to react with alcohol 2 to yield compound 3 featuring a quaternary carbon via 1,2-acyl migration and concurrent esterification. Studies on the mechanism reveal that the platinum(II) complex is able to generate singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) that is responsible for this unprecedented intramolecular 1,2-acyl migration transformation.
Convenient one-step synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolin-1-ones via TMSCl-catalyzed cascade reactions of isatins and β-enamino ketones
