o-Iodoxybenzoic Acid MediatedN-Arylation of Aromatic Amines by Using Arylhydrazines as the Arylating Counterpart

Iodine(V)-Based Oxidants in Oxidation Reactions

The chemistry of hypervalent iodine reagents has now become quite valuable due to the reactivity of these compounds under mild reaction conditions and their resemblance in chemical properties to transition metals. The environmentally friendly nature of these reagents makes them suitable for Green Chemistry. Reagents with a dual nature, such as iodine(III) reagents, are capable electrophiles, while iodine(V) reagents are known for their strong oxidant behavior. Various iodine(V) reagents including IBX and DMP have been used as oxidants in organic synthesis either in stoichiometric or in catalytic amounts. In this review article, we describe various oxidation reactions induced by iodine(V) reagents reported in the past decade.

K2S2O8 mediated C-3 arylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones under metal-, photocatalyst- and light-free conditions

Two facile and effective C-3 arylation protocols of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with arylhydrazines and aryl boronic acids respectively via free radical cross-coupling reactions under metal-, photocatalyst- and light-free conditions have been unveiled. K₂S₂O₈ has been used as an efficient oxidant to generate aryl radicals from arylhydrazines and aryl boronic acids under two different reaction conditions. The generated aryl radicals undergo a free radical coupling reaction at the C-3 position of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones producing 3-arylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones in good to excellent yields. The involvement of radicals in the course of the reaction has been demonstrated by radical trapping experiments with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl.

Arylhydrazines: novel and versatile electrophilic partners in cross-coupling reactions

Arylhydrazines are extremely valuable compounds in organic chemistry that are widely used for the synthesis of a variety of biologically active molecules such as indoles, indazoles, pyrazoles, aryltriazoles, β-lactams and quinazolines. These compounds have also been widely utilized as arylation agents in oxidative cross-coupling reactions. In this review, we will highlight the most important explorations and developments in the carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom (nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and selenium) cross-coupling of arylhydrazines. The literature has been surveyed from 2001 to June 2018.

o-Iodoxybenzoic acid mediated generation of aryl free radicals: synthesis of stilbenes through C–C cross-coupling with β-nitrostyrenes

The generation of an aryl free radicals in the presence of nitrostyrenes through a combination of aryl hydrazines and o-iodoxybenzoic acid led to the synthesis of stilbenes by forming a new carbon–carbon bond after subsequent elimination of a nitrosyl radical.

Regioselective C-3 arylation of coumarins with arylhydrazines via radical oxidation by potassium permanganate

An efficient protocol for oxidative C-3 arylation of coumarins with arylhydrazine has been developed using potassium permanganate as an oxidant. The arylated coumarins with different electronic properties were obtained in moderate to good yields. The developed protocol for direct C-3 arylation of coumarins could be extended to quinolinones.
