Diverse Tandem Cyclization Reactions of <i>o</i>-Cyanoanilines and Diaryliodonium Salts with Copper Catalyst for the Construction of Quinazolinimine and Acridine Scaffolds
Two cyclization modes are realized to produce different nitrogen-containing heterocycles, i.e., quinazolin-4(3H)-imines and acridines by assembling o-cyanoanilines and diaryliodonium salts via tandem reaction pathways.
Paired off: The title reaction leads to a series of o‐pyridinium phenols (1) and anilines (2). The experimental and computational studies indicate that the key step involves homolytic cleavage to give a radical pair, which undergoes solvent‐cage recombination to give the product.
A novel copper-catalyzedtandem C–S/C–C bond-forming reaction of 2-biaryl isothiocyanates with diaryliodonium salts was developed. This is the first general approach to synthesize phenanthridines from 2-biaryl isothiocyanates. This methodology has been successfully applied to the synthesis of trisphaeridine.
bisthiolation of terminal alkynes, K2S (potassium sulfide) and diaryliodoniumsalts for the assembly of functionalized (Z)‐1,2‐bis(arylthio)alkene derivatives has been accomplished for the first time. This unique observation features a broad substrate scope, excellent functional‐group tolerance, and high regioselectivity. Especially, an arylthiolate anion from diaryliodoniumsalts and potassium sulfide
twelve aryl(phenyl)iodonium salts in a systematic chemoselectivitystudy. A new “anti‐ortho effect” has been identified in the arylation of malonates. Several “dummy groups” have been found that give complete chemoselectivity in the transfer of the phenyl moiety, irrespective of the nucleophile. An aryl exchange in the diaryliodoniumsalts has been observed under certain arylation conditions. DFT calculations
