Heptafluorobutyric Acid Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of 7-Aminocoumarins with 1,2,4-Triazines: A Straightforward Pathway to 3-Triazinyl-7-aminocoumarins
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1751570 A protocol for C–H/C–H cross-coupling reaction between 7-aminocoumarins and 1,2,4-triazines has been developed. The reaction was carried out under heptafluorobutyric acid catalysis providing products with yield up to 91%. The applicability and scope of the proposed method was demonstrated on 25 compounds containing different substituents both in the triazine ring and at the nitrogen atom of 7-aminocoumarins. The study of the reaction mechanism by EPR and radical trapping suggests that radicals are involved in this transformation. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 704...

Synthesis of the Cyclohexane Fragment Peculiar to Enacyloxins: Study of Its Assembly and Protective Groups Removal
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1751567 The enantioselective synthesis of the protected (1S,3R,4S)-3,4-dihydroxycyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid moiety shared among all members of the enacyloxin family has been successfully accomplished. Having obtained this fragment, we devised assembly conditions using models that mimic the enacyloxin acyl chain. Additionally, we assessed conditions for the removal of protective groups, aiming to avoid previously reported detrimental ester shifts.

Phosphazene-Catalyzed Regioselective Condensation of Allyl Thioethers with Aldehydes: A Rapid Approach to 1,3-Dienyl Sulfides, -Sulfoxides and -Sulfones
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2259-5395 The phosphazene-catalyzed regioselective condensation of allyl thioethers with aldehydes is investigated. Upon treatment of allyl thioethers with P4-t-Bu, allyl thioether anions are generated and rapidly react with aromatic aldehydes, leading to 1,3-dienyl sulfides in good yields with high regioselectivity. This finding provides an alternative approach for the preparation of allyl thioether anions in a regioselective manner. In addition, chemoselective transformations of 1,3-dienyl sulfides to provide the corresponding 1,3-dienyl sulfoxides or 1,3-dienyl sulfones are also demonstrated. [....

A Simple and Efficient Approach for the Synthesis of Aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one Derivatives
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2254-0712 In this work, a series of 4-aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one derivatives is synthesized through nucleophilic intramolecular cyclization reactions of ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(arylimino)ethyl)hydrazine-1-carboxylate intermediates, which are themselves prepared in high yields via reactions of ethyl chloroformate and N-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroacetimidoyl chloride derivatives. Some of the merits of the reported procedure are an operationally simple and concise method, the ready availability of starting materials, excellent product yields, no formation of harmful by-products a...

Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Chlorination of Alkyl sp3 C –H Bonds with HCl/Air at Room Temperature
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2261-3255 An aerobic chlorination of alkyl sp3 C–H bonds of functionalized alkanes and simple alkanes has been established successfully under visible light at room temperature. The reaction is performed in the presence of catalytic NaNO2 using HCl or NaCl/acid as a chlorine source and air as a terminal oxidant under atmospheric pressure. It is suggested that NOCl from NaNO2/HCl is a crucial species in the catalytic cycle involving an aerobic oxidation and a photochemical radical chlorination.

Synthesis of Anti-oxidant Steroids by Hybridisation with Nitroxides
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2232-8240 Steroidal–nitroxide hybrid molecules and non-radical controls were synthesised in good yields using simple carbodiimide coupling. An unexpected product arose from reactions between the nitroxide moiety and the solvent THF. Methoxyamine derivatives of the nitroxide drug hybrids were produced using Fenton chemistry without side reactions occurring on the steroid. The hybrid compounds bind to the glucocorticoid receptor and are relevant for the study of radical biological chemistry and redox-related disease processes.

Generation of Alkylidene Carbenes through Tetrazole Fragmentation: Recent Advances and Applications in Organic Synthesis
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2260-5652 Tetrazole fragmentation under mild conditions from 5-hydroxyalkyl-1H-tetrazoles (HATs) or cyanophosphates (CPs) readily generates the corresponding alkylidene carbenes, which undergo [1,2]-rearrangements or [1,5]-C–H insertions to yield one-carbon homologous alkynes or five-membered unsaturated carbocycles, respectively. Furthermore, azido-HATs and 2-cyanoazetidines afford propargylic and homopropargylic amines, respectively, via [1,2]-rearrangement of the corresponding aminoalkyl alkylidene carbenes. These reactions are successfully applied for the synthesis of various biofunctional mo...

Hypervalent Iodine Mediated Synthesis of Thiosulfonates from Sulfonyl Hydrazides and Their Transformation into Symmetrical Disulfides
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2260-0346 A transition-metal-free synthesis of thiosulfonates has been accomplished by the disproportionate coupling of readily available and inexpensive sulfonyl hydrazides embracing hypervalent iodine(III) [phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA)] as an oxidant. This synthesis involves cleavage of the S–N bond and is endowed with creation of a new S–S bond. The thiosulfonates were further reduced with CS2/KOH to obtain symmetrical disulfides. This protocol features mild reaction conditions in open air, an inexpensive oxidant, and high functional group tolerance with good to excellent product yield...
