Synthesis of 3-Alkylbenzoxazolones from N-Alkyl-N-arylhydroxylamines by Contiguous O-Trichloroacetylation, Trichloroacetoxy ortho-Shift, and Cyclization Sequence
摘要:
Benzoxazolone pharmacophore is present in clinical pharmaceuticals, drug candidates, and many compounds having a wide spectrum of biological activities. The methods available for the synthesis of benzoxazolones have limited diversity due to problems in accessibility and air-sensitivity of diversely substituted o-aminophenols from which they are generally prepared by cyclocarbonylation with phosgene or its equivalents. The present paper describes a mild method for the synthesis of 3-alkylbenzoxazolones from easily accessible and air-stable nitroarenes. Nitroarenes were converted to N-alkyl-N-arylhydroxylamines in two steps involving partial reduction to arylhydroxylamines followed by selective N-alkylation. Treatment of N-alkyl-N-arylhydroxylamines with trichloroacetyl chloride and triethylamine afforded 3-alkylbenzoxazolones generally in good yields through an uninterrupted three-step sequence involving O-trichloroacetylation, N -> C-ortho trichloroacetoxy shift, and cyclization in a single pot at ambient temperatures. The present method is mild, wide in scope, economical, and regioselective. Many sensitive groups like alkyl and aryl esters, amide, cyano, and the carbon-carbon double bond survive the reaction.

An iron-catalyzed intermolecular [4 + 2] cyclization of arylnitrones with geminal-substituted vinyl acetates was developed for the synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines in moderate to good yields with good functional group compatibilities. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest a plausible iron-catalyzed C–H activation process under external-oxidant-free conditions.

Recently, N-hydroxyindole derivatives have received much interest because of their unique structural motif and various biological activities. In this study, we report the first example of a Rh(III)-catalyzed reaction of arylnitrones with α-diazoketoesters or α-diazodiketones to produce N-hydroxyindole derivatives. Intriguingly, we could build the N-hydroxyindole scaffold by blocking the cleavage of

Axial-to-central chirality transfer is an important strategy to construct chiral centers, where the axiallychiral reagents are mostly limited to atropomerically stable ones. Reported herein is a RhIII -catalyzed enantioselective spiroannulative synthesis of nitrones. The coupling proceeds via C-Harylation to give an atropomerically metastable biaryl, followed by intramolecular dearomative trapping

Gold‐catalyzed oxidations of propargylalcohols with nitrones by using a P(tBu)2(o‐biphenyl)Au+ catalyst, afforded bicyclic annulation products from the Mannich reactions of gold enolates. The same reactions of propargyl amines with nitrones by using the same gold catalyst gave distinct oxoarylation products. Our DFT calculations indicate that oxidation of propargylalcohols with nitrones by using electron‐rich

Cutting carbon! A novel facile strategy for the CCbondcleavage of oxiranylketones has been developed. Carbophilic gold(I) activation of the alkyne side chain mediates a heterocyclization and subsequent CCbondcleavage (see scheme).
