Facile Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines through a Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Sonogashira Coupling/Cyclization Reaction

Synthesis of pyrimidine-fused skeletons through copper-catalyzed consecutive Sonogashira coupling and aminocyclization

A copper-catalyzed sequence involving a Sonogashira coupling reaction and 5-exo-dig aminocyclization between a terminal alkyne and a 2-(2-bromophenyl)pyrimidine analog based on six-membered rings is presented. This protocol provides a controlled and modular approach to access a variety of synthetically useful pyrimidine-fused skeletons with high efficiency, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group compatibility. Under acidic conditions, the (Z)-configuration of products spontaneously converts into (E)-9-benzylidene-1,9-dihydro-11H-pyrazolo[4',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindol-11-ones.

Copper-catalyzed Sonogashira reactions: advances and perspectives since 2014

Transition metal catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction has evolved as an efficient pathway for the construction of C-C bonds. Initially, palladium cooperating with copper was considered as the efficient catalytic system for this reaction. However, nowadays there have been astonishing progress in copper catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions. Copper catalyzed reactions have attained significant attention owing to the cost effective and environmentally benign characteristics of this metal compared to palladium. This review summarizes the recent developments in copper catalyzed Sonogashira coupling covering literature from 2014 to 2021.

Azides in the Synthesis of Various Heterocycles

In this review, we focus on some interesting and recent examples of various applications of organic azides such as their intermolecular or intramolecular, under thermal, catalyzed, or noncatalyzed reaction conditions. The aforementioned reactions in the aim to prepare basic five-, six-, organometallic heterocyclic-membered systems and/or their fused analogs. This review article also provides a report on the developed methods describing the synthesis of various heterocycles from organic azides, especially those reported in recent papers (till 2020). At the outset, this review groups the synthetic methods of organic azides into different categories. Secondly, the review deals with the functionality of the azido group in chemical reactions. This is followed by a major section on the following: (1) the synthetic tools of various heterocycles from the corresponding organic azides by one-pot domino reaction; (2) the utility of the chosen catalysts in the chemoselectivity favoring C−H and C-N bonds; (3) one-pot procedures (i.e., Ugi four-component reaction); (4) nucleophilic addition, such as Aza-Michael addition; (5) cycloaddition reactions, such as [3+2] cycloaddition; (6) mixed addition/cyclization/oxygen; and (7) insertion reaction of C-H amination. The review also includes the synthetic procedures of fused heterocycles, such as quinazoline derivatives and organometal heterocycles (i.e., phosphorus-, boron- and aluminum-containing heterocycles). Due to many references that have dealt with the reactions of azides in heterocyclic synthesis (currently more than 32,000), we selected according to generality and timeliness. This is considered a recent review that focuses on selected interesting examples of various heterocycles from the mechanistic aspects of organic azides.

Unprecedented synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolo-cinnolinone via Sonogashira coupling and intramolecular cyclization

An unprecedented copper mediated one-pot sequential synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolo cinnolinone derivatives from 2-halo-phenyl triazoles and terminal alkynes has been reported.

Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative N2-Coupling of NH-1,2,3-Triazoles with N,N -Dialkylamides: N-Amidoalkylation of NH-1,2,3-Triazoles

An efficient copper-catalyzed C-N bond formation by N-H/C-H cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) between NH-1,2,3-triazoles and N,N-dialkylamides has been developed. The method provided N-amidoalkylated 1,2,3-triazoles with moderate to high yields, and the reactions showed high N²-selectivities when 4,5-disubstituted NH-1,2,3-triazoles served as the substrates.
