The couplingreaction of imidazoles and pyrazoles with bromoacetylenes has efficiently been carried out under ligand-free conditions in the presence of copper(II) oxide as the catalyst using potassium hydroxide in 1,4-dioxane at 80 ˚C. The method is a simpler access to N-alk-1-ynyl- and/or N-(2-bromovinyl)-substituted heteroarenes. couplingreaction - ligand-free conditions - copper(II) oxide - N-alkynylheteroarene
The direct N-alkynylation of heteroarenes, imidazoles, and pyrazoles with 1,1-dibromo-1-alkene has been carried out for the first time using [Cu(Phen)PPh3Br] (as a catalyst) and Cs2CO3 in DMSO at 80 degrees C. The products are formed in good to high yields (66-85%) within 3 h. No side products could be detected. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A cross-coupling reaction of imidazoles with bromoalkynes in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuI is reported. This protocol allows an access to novel N-(1-alkynyl)imidazoles in moderate to good yields.

A facile and efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling method is reported for the preparation of N-alkynyl or N-bromoalkenyl heteroarenes from bromoalkynes. Generally superior yields and functional group tolerance were obtained with microwave (MW) irradiation using imidazole, benzimidazole, pyrazole, and indazole substrates and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 (PEG400) as an additive. We speculate that PEG400 acts as both a Cu(I)-stabilizing ligand as well as a phase transfer solvent.

Functionalization reactions of 1-alkynylimidazoles involving the formation of their 2-lithio derivatives followed by addition of various electrophiles are presented. This allows access to previously unreported 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles via 1-alkynyl-2-iodoimidazoles. The use of an aldehyde or sulfonimine electrophiles allows the direct formation of bicyclic ring systems. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
