Vanadium-Catalyzed Regioselective Oxidative Coupling of 2-Hydroxycarbazoles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first regioselective oxidative coupling of 2-hydroxycarbazoles is described. With a vanadium catalyst and oxygen as the terminal oxidant, dimers with an ortho-ortho' coupling pattern were obtained with high selectivity. Further oxidation led to ortho'-ortho' coupling to generate a tetramer, which provided insight that the atropisomerization barriers of the unsymmetrical biaryl bonds are much lower than expected.

Oxidative Cross-Coupling of sp(3)- and sp(2)-Hybridized C-H Bonds: Vanadium-Catalyzed Aminomethylation of Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.
The vanadium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of substituted 2-arylimidiazo[1,2-a]pyridines to N-methylmorpholine oxide, which acts as both a coupling partner and an oxidant, has been achieved. This reaction was applied to various substituted imidiazo[1,2-a]pyridine and indole substrates, resulting in yields as high as 90%. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction may proceed via a Man...

An aerobic oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction between sp(3) C-H and sp(2) C-H bonds is developed by employing a vanadium catalyst (10 mol%) in an aqueous medium using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. This environmentally benign strategy exhibits larger substrate scope and shows high regioselectivity.

We report the first synthesis of a natural (±)-gnetulin and an unnatural analogue of (±)-gnemonol M by using the regioselective oxidative coupling reactions of 5-tert-butyl-isorhapontigenin as the key step. Both the effects of different enzyme-catalyzed systems on the structures of coupling products and structural transformations of coupling products in the presence of several Lewis acids were ...
