Remarkable synergism in methylimidazole-promoted decarboxylation of substituted cinnamic acid derivatives in basic water medium under microwave irradiation: a clean synthesis of hydroxylated (E)-stilbenes
摘要:
A metal-free protocol for decarboxylation of substituted alpha-phenylcinnamic acid derivatives in aqueous media is developed, wherein a remarkable synergism between methylimidazole and aq NaHCO3 in polyethylene glycol under microwave furnished the corresponding para/ortho hydroxylated (E)-stilbenes in a mild and efficient manner. The critical role of water in facilitating the decarboxylation imparts an interesting facet to the synthetic utility of water mediated organic transformations. The developed protocol provides a clean alternative to the hitherto indispensable multistep approaches involving toxic quinoline and a copper salt combination as the common decarboxylating agent.

Condition-controlled divergent oxidativecoupling reactions between indole/tryptamine derivatives and β-arylacrylic acids with the catalysis of copper(II) have been developed. Specifically, a formal Michael addition/dehydration sequence between indoles and β-arylacrylic acids occurred in the presence of catalytic CuBr2 in CH3CN under air, thus affording highly functionalized 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1
已经开发出条件控制的吲哚/色胺衍生物与β-芳基丙烯酸之间的氧化偶联反应,其催化铜(II)。具体而言,在空气中CH 3 CN中存在催化CuBr 2时,吲哚与β-芳基丙烯酸之间存在正式的迈克尔加成/脱水序列,从而提供了高度官能化的2,3-二氢-1 H-吡咯并[1,2- a ]吲哚。相反,在将氧化剂改变为t BuOOH,将溶剂改变为DCM时,反应过程切换到空前的氧化偶合/环化级联反应,从而选择性地得到四环吡咯并[2,3- b ]二氢吲哚。
