Direct Synthesis of Sulfonated or Sulfenylated Pyrazolones Mediated by KIO3 and Their Anti-microbial Activity

Electrochemical Synthesis of Polysubstituted Sulfonated Pyrazoles via Cascade Intermolecular Condensation, Radical-Radical Cross Coupling Sulfonylation, and Pyrazole Annulation

Electrochemical synthesis of polysubstituted sulfonated pyrazoles from enaminones and sulfonyl hydrazides was established under metal-free, exogenous-oxidant-free, and mild conditions. By judicious choice of different electrochemical reaction conditions, NH₂-functionalized enaminones or N,N-disubstituted enaminones can react with aryl/alkyl sulfonyl hydrazides to afford tetra- or trisubstituted sulfonated pyrazoles in moderate to good yields, respectively. The gram-scale electrochemical transformation demonstrated the efficiency and practicability of this synthetic strategy. In addition, the sulfonated NH-pyrazole can be obtained via the dissociation of the N-tosyl group. Mechanistic studies reveal that the electrochemical cascade reaction synthesis of polysubstituted sulfonated pyrazoles proceeded via the sequence of intermolecular condensation, radical-radical cross coupling sulfonylation, and pyrazole annulation.

Photocatalyst-, metal- and additive-free, regioselective radical cascade sulfonylation/cyclization of benzimidazoles derivatives with sulfonyl chlorides induced by visible light

Herein, an environmental and practical protocol for the visible-light-triggered regioselective radical cascade sulfonylation/cyclization of unactivated alkenes towards synthesis of polycyclic benzimidazoles containing sulfone group has been developed. Notably, the control...

Photoredox Catalyzed Radical Cascade Aroylation (Sulfonylation)/Cyclization Enables Access to Fused Indolo-pyridones

A visible-light-initiated radical cascade reaction toward the synthesis of structurally diverse fused Indolo-pyridones is described. The reaction involves the addition of aroyl or sulfonyl radicals to N-alkyl-acryloyl-1H-indole-3-carboxamides, cyclization, and oxidative aromatization. This telescoped method circumvents lengthy prefunctionalization steps of radical precursors, which is further underpinned by the superior compatibility with a series of C-centered radicals, allowing the rapid and facile construction of numerous valuable architectures.

Microwave-assisted simple synthesis of 2-anilinopyrimidines by the reaction of 2-chloro-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine with aniline derivatives

A series of 2-anilinopyrimidines including novel derivatives has been obtained from 2-chloro-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine by aromatic nucleophilic substitution with differently substituted anilines under microwave conditions. The substituents had a significant impact on the course and efficiency of the reaction. The results reported herein demonstrate the efficacy of microwaves in the synthesis of the title heterocyclic compounds as compared to the results obtained with conventional heating. The 2-anilinopyrimidines described are of potential bioactivity.

A rapid, one pot, green approach by microwave heating in ethanol provides a new method to obtain active and new potentially active compounds in high yields.
