An efficient regioselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted 3imidazolines under organo-photocatalytic conditions has been developed through formal [3 + 2]-cycloaddition between 2Hazirines and N-tosyl benzylidene imines. The products were isolated in high yields and as a separable mixture of diaster-eoisomers in most of the cases. The mild reaction conditions employing an organic dye as photocatalyst, excellent functional group tolerance, and high regioselectivity are notable features of the current protocol.
An efficient organo-photocatalytic method for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrroles bearing a ketone, ester, alcohol, or nitro group at the 3-position has been developed. The reaction involves visible-light-mediated formal [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition between 2H-azirines and α-substituted nitroalkenes followed by a denitration or debromination sequence. The notable features of the protocol are excellent regioselectivity, wide substrate scope, and high yields of the products.
The present work documents an organophotoredox-mediated formal [3 + 2]-cycloaddition of 2H-azirines with aryl diazonium tetrafluoroborate salts to furnish 1,3,5trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles. The reaction furnishes a regioisomeric mixture of 1,2,4-triazoles in case of unsymmetrically substituted azirines. It is noteworthy that aryl radical generation from diazonium salt under visible light photoredox conditions could be successfully avoided by carefully selecting the reaction conditions.
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.
