Photochemistry of Phenyl-Substituted 1,2,4-Thiadiazoles. 15N-Labeling Studies
摘要:
Irradiation of 5-phenyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole (6) resulted in the formation of benzonitrile (5), 3-phenyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole (4), phenyl- and diphenyl-1,3,5-triazines (7 and 8), and a trace quantity of diphenyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole (9). The formation of 4 5, 7, and 8 can be explained in terms of photoinduced electrocyclic ring closure resulting in the formation of an intermediate 4-phenyl-1,3-diaza-5thiabicyclo[2.1.0]pentene. N-15-labeling experiments revealed that sulfur can undergo sigmatropic shifts around all four sides of the diazetine ring. Thus, irradiation of 6-4-N-15 led to the formation of 6-2-N-15 and an equimolar mixture of 4-2-N-15 and 4-4-N-15. The thiabicyclo[2.1.0]pentene intermediate is also suggested to undergo sulfur elimination resulting in the formation of phenyldiazacyclobutadiene, which can undergo complete fragmentation to benzonitrile or [4+2] cycloaddition leading to unstable tricyclic adducts, the suggested precursors of the 1,3,5-triazine products 7 and 8. The observed N-15 distribution in 7 and 8 is consistent with this mechanism. Irradiation of 4 led only to the formation of 5. N-15-labeling experiments show that 4 does not undergo electrocyclic ring closure but reacts exclusively by photofragmentation of the thiadiazole ring.
The industrially relevant reaction between nitriles and hydroxylamine yielding amidoximes was studied in different molecular solvents and in ionic liquids. In industry, this procedure is carried out on the ton scale in alcohol solutions and the above transformation produces a significant amount of unexpected amide by-product, depending on the nature of the nitrile, which can cause further analytical and purification issues. Although there were earlier attempts to propose mechanisms for this transformation, the real reaction pathway is still under discussion. A new detailed reaction mechanistic explanation, based on theoretical and experimental proof, is given to augment the former mechanisms, which allowed us to find a more efficient, side-product free procedure. Interpreting the theoretical results obtained, it was shown that the application of specific imidazolium, phosphonium and quaternary ammonium based ionic liquids could decrease simultaneously the reaction time while eliminating the amide side-product, leading to the targeted product selectively. This robust and economic procedure now affords a fast, selective amide free synthesis of amidoximes.
Despite their tremendous synthetic and pharmaceutical utility, primary azaaromatic amines remain elusive for access based on a generally applicable C–H functionalization strategy. An oxadiazolone-enabled approach is reported for convenient entry into N-unsubstituted 1-aminoisoquinolines through Co(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral, step-, atom-, and purification-economic C–H functionalization with alkynes

A rapid and efficient base mediated synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles has been developed from annulation of nitriles with hydrazines, which can be scaled up to a wide range of triazoles in good to excellent yields. Ammonia gas is liberated during the reaction, and halo, hetero functional groups as well as free hydroxyl, amino are tolerated in this transformation. A variety of alkyl
densely substituted pyridine derivatives from 1-methyl-1,3-(ar)enynes and nitriles via a formal [4+2] cycloaddition has been established. The well-balanced affinities of two alkali metal salts enable C(sp3)–H bond activation and excellent chemo- and regioselectivities. Experimental studies revealed that nitrile functions only as a partial nitrogen source for pyridine synthesis, and the addition of a metalated
Herein, a nickel-catalyzed synthesis of an aryl nitrile via aryl exchange between an aromatic amide and a simple nitrile was developed. By using cheap, easy-to-handle, and low-toxic 4-cyanopyridine as the cyanating source, cyanation of various aromatic amides afforded an assortment of aryl nitriles including bioactive drugs and organic luminescent molecules in good yields. The reaction exhibited wide
