1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and microwave-accelerated green chemistry in methylation of phenols, indoles, and benzimidazoles with dimethyl carbonate.

چکیده
1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) is a novel and active catalyst in promoting the methylation reaction of phenols, indoles, and benzimidazoles with dimethyl carbonate under mild conditions. Additional rate enhancement is accomplished by applying microwave irradiation. By incorporating tetrabutylammonium iodide, the same microwave reactions can be further accelerated. By combining these acceleration strategies, very slow chemical transformations that take up to several days can be performed efficiently in high yield within minutes. [reaction: see text]

One-Pot Synthesis of Some New α-Bromoketals and Acetals via 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0] Undec-7-ene-Hydrobromide-Perbromide
α-Bromoketals and acetals are important synthetic precursors in organic synthesis. In this work, some new α-bromoketals are synthesized by the reaction of aryl methyl ketones with diols in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) hydrobromide-perbromide in good isolated yields. The latter compound converts aldehydes to acetals and serves as a new and efficient reagent for t...

متن کاملp-Nitrophenyl carbonate promoted ring-opening reactions of DBU and DBN affording lactam carbamates
The amidine bases DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) and DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene) display nucleophilic behaviour towards highly electrophilic p-nitrophenyl carbonate derivatives with ring opening of the bicyclic ring to form corresponding substituted ε-caprolactam and γ-lactam derived carbamates. This simple method presents a unified strategy to synthesize structurally diver...
متن کاملEfficient DBU accelerated synthesis of 18F-labelled trifluoroacetamides.
Nucleophilic 18F-fluorination of bromodifluoromethyl derivatives was performed using [18F]Bu4NF in the presence of DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene). This novel procedure provided a diverse set of [18F]trifluoroacetamides in good to excellent radiochemical conversions. A mechanism where DBU acts as organomediator in this transformation is proposed.
