Mechanistic studies on the CAN-mediated intramolecular cyclization of δ-aryl-β-dicarbonyl compounds

چکیده
The synthesis of 2-tetralones through the cyclization of δ-aryl-β-dicarbonyl substrates by using CAN is described. Appropriately functionalized aromatic substrates undergo intramolecular cyclizations generating 2-tetralone derivatives in moderate to good yields. DFT computational studies indicate that successful formation of 2-tetralones from δ-aryl-β-dicarbonyl radicals is dependent on the stability of the subsequent cyclohexadienyl radical intermediates. Furthermore, DFT computational studies were used to rationalize the observed site selectivity in the 2-tetralone products.

Iodine mediated intramolecular C2-amidative cyclization of indoles: a facile access to indole fused tetracycles.
A novel and metal-free I2-mediated intramolecular C2 amidation of indoles under mild reaction conditions is developed. This methodology affords various indole fused tetracyclic compounds, such as benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]indoles by intramolecular C2 amidation of N-aryl substituted indoles. This C2 sulfonamidative cyclization also offers convenient access to indolo[2,3-b]indoles and dihydroindolo...
متن کاملAn unusual Me3SiI-promoted [4+2] annulation and reduction: an efficient approach to construct 4H-benzopyrans.
Me(3)SiI-promoted reaction of salicylic aldehydes with β-dicarbonyl compounds provided a facile way to construct 4H-benzopyrans in moderate to good yields. This tandem reaction proceeds with high efficiency through nucleophilic addition, silyl enol ether formation, substitution, reduction, and intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization.

Reactions were performed from aryl azides on the one hand, and activated alkenes coming from β-dicarbonyl compounds or malonodinitrile on the other hand, either with recourse to conventional heating or to microwave activation, to afford 1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. The mechanism and the regioselectivity of the reactions involving β-dicarbonyl compounds have been theoretically studied using DFT me...

Silica ferric hydrogensulfate is an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclization of 2- aminochalcones to the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinolin- 4(1H)-ones. This intramolecular aza Michael reaction was carried out in high yields using chalcones bearing of electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. The catalyst is reusable without significant decreases in its activity after four t...
