Molecular iodine/DMSO mediated oxidation of internal alkynes and primary alcohols using a one-pot, two step approach towards 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles: Substrate scope and mechanistic studies
摘要:
An efficient, eco-friendly and practical oxidation of internal alkynes and primary alcohols as key steps towards the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles is reported. This green synthetic methodology employed an acid and metal-free molecular iodine/DMSO system, to afford a variety of substituted imidazoles in moderate to good yields, with a range of functionalities tolerated. Mechanistic studies revealed two distinct oxidation pathways, which ultimately form the diketone and aldehyde that serve as key intermediates in the multicomponent domino synthesis.
