Abstract:One-pot cascade annulations among nitrosoarenes, alkenes,a nd N-hydroxyallylamines have been achieved with CuCl/O 2 catalysts,f orming fused oxazinane/isoxazolidine heterocycles with excellent diastereoselectivity (d.r. > 20:1). To enhance the synthetic utility,w ed eveloped as uccessive cleavage of the two N À Obonds of the resulting heterocycles.A mechanism involving dipolar [3+ +2] cycloadditions of nitrone intermediates with their tethered alkenes is postulated for formation of these heterocycles.Supportin… Show more
“…On the basis of experimental results and related pioneering studies by Greci,11a,b Yamamoto,11c and Ramana,11d,e,6f 12 In the current reaction, on the other hand, this transformation was accomplished under neutral conditions without using any strong reducing reagents. This should be considered as an advantageous feature of this method since it allows this method to be used for substrates bearing functional groups susceptible to strong reductive conditions.…”

herein is a one-pot cascade reaction of o-alkynylnitrobenzenes
with maleimides leading to the formation of
hydroxysuccinimide substituted indolin-3-ones under Au(III)–Cu(II)
relay/synergetic catalysis. Mechanistically, the formation of the
title products involves an unprecedented cascade process including
(1) nitro–alkyne cycloisomerization of o-alkynylnitrobenzene
to give isatogen; (2) [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition of isatogen with
maleimide; and (3) ring opening of the in situ formed isoxazolidine
moiety under neutral conditions. Notably, a wide range of substrates
bearing various functional groups are compatible with the reaction
conditions to give a series of highly valuable hybrid compounds in
good efficiency with excellent atom economy. In addition, the products
thus obtained could be easily transformed into the corresponding maleimide
substituted indolin-3-ones. Importantly, some products demonstrated
significant antiproliferative activity in human cancer cell lines.

“…This skeleton is a key substructure of many bioactive compounds, and constitutes a versatile platform for further chemical transformations. [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] The previous synthetic route [43][44][45][46] to this structural unit involves the utilization of unstable and perishable aldehydes and hydroxylamine, resulting in a limited substrate scope. For example, only the electron-withdrawing groups, such as Boc-and Cbz-protected hydroxylamines, are tolerated in these reactions.…”

3+ +1+ +1] annulation of isocyanoacetates with nitrosoarenes for the preparation of 1,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles or 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazoles has been disclosed. Isocyanoacetates serve as both at hree-atom component and ao ne-carbonu nit in the reaction. Specially, with catalytic amounts of Ag 2 CO 3 and ar educed temperature this [3+ +1+ +1] annulation of isocyanoacetates enablest he formation of trans-imidazolines in good yield and with high diastereoselectivity.S ilver plays ac ritical dual role:i )ast he catalyst for the efficiency to activate the isocyanides and ii)the oxidantina romatization process.
