A highly efficient synthesis of trans-alkenylazaarene under catalyst-free conditions was developed via the addition of methylazaarenes to N-sulfonyl aldimines and a subsequent C-N elimination in situ. A one-pot procedure for this addition-elimination was also developed. The reaction could tolerate a broad substrate scope and give the corresponding alkenylazaarenes in high yields.
A metal-free sequential dual oxidative amination of C(sp(3))-H bonds under ambient conditions was the first developed, affording imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines in good to excellent yields. The reaction was involved in two oxidative C-N couplings and one oxidative dehydrogenation process with six hydrogen atoms removed.
A novel metal-free intramolecular oxidative decarboxylative coupling of primary α-amino acids with 2-aminobenzoketones under mild and neutral conditions was developed. Different quinazolines can be selectively obtained by various oxidants.
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.
