Copper-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation of ureas in water: a novel entry to benzoimidazolones
摘要:
The copper-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation of 2-bromoarylureas performed in water leading to the benzo[d]imidazolone framework is reported. The scope of the methodology presented herein proved to be broad and afforded a significant number of benzoimidazolones in good to excellent yields. The reported protocol is based on the use of Cut and TMEDA acting both as the ligand and as the base in a water solution, which allows for the easy separation of the catalyst containing aqueous phase from the products by simple extraction. Additionally, the N- versus O-arylation competitive processes are also discussed. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An iodine mediated aromatization leading to a one-pot synthesis of iodo-N-arylanilines and N-arylanilines is reported. This highly regioselective aliphatic-aromatic transformation can be performed with various combinations of 2-cyclohexenones and anilines. The presence of a directing group is crucial for achieving high yields.
