Palladium-catalyzed annulation of alkynyl aryl ethers with isocyanates through o-C–H cleavage. Synthesis of solid-state emissive 2-methylidene-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-ones
摘要:
The title transformation can be achieved by the o-C-H cleavage of allcynyl aryl ethers, which is easily derived from phenols, followed by the insertion/annulation with isocyanates in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Various alkynyl aryl ethers and arylisocyanates are applied to this transformation to give the corresponding cyclic products. Mechanistic study indicates that the C-H cleavage is effected reversibly by the concerted metalation-deprotonation pathway. The products exhibit solid-state luminescence upon irradiation of UV light. Fluorescent maxima and quantum yields can be controlled by the substituents at appropriate sites in the products. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
