TBAB-mediated radical 6-endo-trig ortho-cyclization of N-aryl-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide for the synthesis of 3-bromo-1,2-dihydroquinoline

Electrochemical C-H Mono-/Multi-Bromination Regulation of N-Sulfonylanilines on a Cost-Effective Carbon Fiber Electrode and Its Prospective Electroactive Molecule Screening

Electrochemical C-H mono/multi-bromination regulation of N-sulfonylanilines on the cost-effective CF electrode is described. This reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope, affording diverse mono/multi-brominated anilines in moderate to good yields. Mechanism study reveals that this transformation involves anodic oxidation, aromatic electrophilic substitution, and deprotonation. Preliminary electroactive molecule screening results in its prospective application in electroactive MBs for electrochemical biosensors.

Photocatalytic Cyclization Cascades by Radical Relay toward Pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles: Synthesis, Mechanism, and Application

A photocatalytic annulation cascade of unactivated N-alkene-linked indoles with Langlois' reagent by a radical relay is developed at room temperature under blue LED irradiation. The reaction afforded a series of tri/difluoromethylated pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles in moderate to good yields. The DFT study suggests that the reaction is ascribed to a rhodamine 6G-induced cyclization cascade involving vinyl addition-radical relay and hydrogen-atom-abstraction (HAA) processes, and interestingly, pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles are applied as fluorescent dyes into the fluorescence spectrum and live-cell imaging. This paper represents an initial example on photocatalytic cyclization cascades by radical relay and the HAA process.

Selective halocyclization and iodosulfonylation of N-benzothiazol2-yl alkynamides under mild conditions

An effective synthetic entry to pyrimidobenzothiazoles via 6-endo-dig halocyclization of N-benzothiazol-2-yl alkynamides was developed under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope. Several multisubstituted α,β-enones were synthesized by using the...

Recent Advances in the Oxone-Mediated Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds

Oxone is a commercially available oxidant, composed of a mixture of three inorganic species, being the potassium peroxymonosulfate (KHSO5) the reactive one. Over the past few decades, this cheap and environmentally friendly oxidant has become a powerful tool in organic synthesis, being extensively employed to mediate the construction of a plethora of important compounds. This review summarizes the recent advances in the Oxone-mediated synthesis of N-, O- and chalcogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, through a wide diversity of reactions, starting from several kinds of substrate, highlighting the main synthetic differences, advantages, the scope and limitations.

ZnBr2/Oxone-mediated ipso-cyclization of N-(3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-yl)aniline

1-Azaspiro[4.5]deca-3,6,9-trien-8-ones have been selectively synthesized from N-tosyl-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)anilines via a ZnBr₂/Oxone-mediated radical ipso-cyclization pathway.
