Aryl 2-bromobenzoates and aryl 2-bromocyclohex-1-enecarboxylates are cyclized by microwave irradiation in dimethylformamide in the presence of KCO to give the corresponding 6 H-benzo[ c]chromen-6-ones and their 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro analogues, respectively, in 50-72% yields. Aryl 3-bromoacrylates are also converted into 2 H-chromen-2-ones under the employed conditions.
A green construction of trinuclear N-fused hybrid scaffolds by transition metal-free double C(sp2) –N coupling of 2-(2-bromoaryl)- and 2-(2-bromovinyl)benzimidazoles with 2-aminoazoles under microwave irradiation has been developed.
2-(2-Bromovinyl)-
and 2-(2-bromoaryl)-benzimidazoles, including
their 4,7-dimethoxy analogs, react with primary amides by microwave
irradiation (or usual heating) in dimethylformamide in the presence
of a catalytic amount of CuI along with a base to give the corresponding
benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-
c
]-pyrimidines and -quinazolines
in good yields. Treatment of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-
c
]-pyrimidines and -quinazolines having methoxy group on benzimidazole
moiety with aqueous ceric ammonium nitrate affords unprecedented N-fused
hybrid scaffolds, benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-
c
]-pyrimidin-6,9-diones
and -quinazoline-8,11-diones, respectively, in high yields.
2‐(2‐Bromoaryl)‐ and 2‐(2‐bromovinyl)‐benzimidazoles are coupled and cyclized with cyclic ureas as new building blocks in dimethylformamide in the presence of a catalytic amount of a copper catalyst and a base to give the corresponding trinuclear N‐fused hybrid scaffolds in good yields. Trinuclear N‐fused hybrid scaffolds having methoxy group on benzimidazole moiety are readily oxidized to unprecedented benzimidazolequinone‐fused hybrid scaffolds in high yields by treatment of ceric ammonium nitrate in acetonitrile/H2O.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
