Abstract
Brønsted acid catalyzed regioselective ring opening of aziridines by phenols and thiophenols have been reported. Involvement of a series of aziridines with a range of phenols and thiophenols offer the generality of the reported protocol. Completion of the reaction at room temperature within very short time brings the uniqueness of the developed technique. To emphasis on the application of the developed methodology, the products have been used for the further synthesis of a range of useful and novel heterocyclic molecules such as indolines, indoles, benzothiazines, dihydrobenzothiazines, benzo-oxazines and benzochromenes.

Abstract
A catalytic and versatile synthetic method for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been developed. Brønsted acid-catalysis plays a major role in the regioselective ring opening of 2H-azirines. Nucleophilic attack via the N-centre of mercaptopyridines and their analogues, followed by cyclisation by cleaving the C-S bond, allowed a library of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and related heterocycles to be built. The reaction protocol has been applied to various 2H-azirines, 2-mercaptopyridines, and thiazole-2-thiols, illustrating the generality of reaction conditions. The practical applications include the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, such as anti-tumor agents. This study introduces a novel approach to the synthesis of functional molecules with extensive potential.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:46614-46627. [PMID: 38107960 PMCID: PMC10720287 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The catalytic activity of methyltrifluoromethanesulfonate (MeOTf) has been explored toward direct nucleophilic substitution of the hydroxyl group of nonmanipulated alcohols such as benzylic, allylic, propargylic, and tertiary alcohols with a wide range of uncharged nucleophiles such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, amides, alkynes, and indoles to generate functionalized 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, amides, alkynes, and indoles, respectively. Thus, the present protocol defines an alternate pathway to construct new C-C, C-N, and C-O bonds with the formation of water as the byproduct under mild conditions without any acids or metals. A completely different mechanism was established through several control experiments to explain the reaction methodology. As an application of the reported protocol, 1H-indene derivatives have been synthesized in one pot when benzylic alcohols were subjected to react with internal alkynes. The scope of the reaction has been further extended toward a tandem benzylation-cyclization-dehydration of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohols, which furnish biologically important 4H-chromene derivatives.

Abstract
Benzofuran and naphthofuran derivatives are synthesized from readily available phenols and naphthols. Regioselective ring openings of 2H-azirine followed by in situ aromatization using a catalytic amount of Brønsted acid have established the novelty of the methodology. The involvement of a series of 2H-azirines with a variety of phenols, 1-naphthols, and 2-naphthols showed the generality of the protocol. In-depth density functional theory calculations revealed the reaction mechanism with the energies of the intermediates and transition states of a model reaction. An alternate pathway of the mechanism has also been proposed with computer modeling.
