The reaction of P-diketones 1 with phenyl hydrazine afforded 5-aryl-3-(1- methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazoly1)-1-phenylpyrazole (2) and 3-aryl-5-(1-methyl-5- nitro-2-imidazoly1) -1-phenylpyrazole (3). The reaction of diketones (1) with urea in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid gave 4-(or 6-)aryl-6-(or 4-)(1-methyl- 5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-1-(lH)pyrimidones (4). The structures of all compounds w...

the synthesis of aryl amides via the reactions of carboxylic acids and isocyanides in methanol was carried out in 78-95% yields under ultrasound irradiation. the method has wide applicability, and the protocol is mild, fast and efficient compared to the existing methods based on silent conditions.

4-Aryl-azetidin-2-ones (β-lactams) undergo ring opening with triflic acid to give cinnamamides which, in benzene, react further to give 3-aryl-3-phenyl-propionamides. Prolonged reaction times in benzene give 3,3-diphenyl-propionamide via an aryl/phenyl exchange. Lactams of ring size 7 and higher also ring open, but only 7- and 8-membered rings give pure diphenylalkylamides. AlCl(3) only ring op...

2,6-Di(hetero)aryl and 2-(hetero)aryl substituted dithienothiazines are prepared from N-aryl dithienothiazines by a lithiation–lithium–zinc exchange–Negishi cross-coupling sequence with (hetero)aryl iodides in a one-pot fashion in good to excellent yields. These novel extended π-electron systems can be reversibly oxidized and fine-tuned in their electronic properties as supported by cyclo volta...

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl bromides with 2-aryl-1,3-dithianes is described. This methodology takes advantage of the relatively acidic benzylic proton of the dithiane, allowing it to act as a competent, polarity-reversed transmetalation reagent. This unique approach affords the ability to employ an orthogonal deprotection strategy, and practical routes to both diaryl ketones and ...

A novel family of chiral ortho-substituted BINAPO ligands (o-BINAPO) were synthesized from BINOL, and their Ru complexes were highly efficient catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation of beta-aryl-substituted beta-(acylamino)acrylates and beta-aryl-substituted beta-keto esters. The Ru-bisphosphinite catalysts can tolerate an E/Z mixture of beta-aryl-substituted beta-(acylamino)acrylates. These hi...

Phenols and aryl thiols are fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis and final products with interesting biological activities. Over the past decades, substantial progress has been made in transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, which resulted in the emergence of new methods for the synthesis of phenols and aryl thiols. Aryl halides have been extensively studied as substrates for...

Iodine-methanol mediated oxidative-aromatization of 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones afforded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-methoxy-quinolines in high yield and purity. The isomeric 1-(2-amino-3,5-dibromophenyl)-3-aryl-2-propen-1-ones reacted with iodine in methanol afford in a single pot operation the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-methoxyquinoline (major) and 2-...

We report the arylation and heteroarylation of α,α-difluoro-α-(trimethylsilyl)acetamides with aryl and heteroaryl bromides catalyzed by an air- and moisture-stable palladacyclic complex containing P(t-Bu)2Cy as ligand. A broad range of electronically varied aryl and heteroaryl bromides underwent this transformation to afford α-aryl-α,α-difluoroacetamides in high yields. Due to the electrophilic...
