Sulfur-Carbon Bond Formation through Ring-Opening of Triazolothiadiazole with Organometallics

Synthesis of novel series of 3,5-disubstituted imidazo[1,2-d] [1,2,4]thiadiazoles involving SNAr and Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions

The first access to 3,5-disubstituted imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]thiadiazole derivatives is reported. The series were generated from 2-mercaptoimidazole, which afforded the key intermediate bearing two functional positions. The S_NAr reactivity toward tosyl release at the C-3 position was investigated and a regioselective electrophilic iodination in C-5 position was performed to allow a novel C–C bond using Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling conditions were optimized. A representative library of various boronic acids was employed to establish the scope and limitations of the method. To complete this methodological study, the influence of the nature of the C-3 imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]thiadiazole substitutions on the arylation in C-5 was investigated.

A convenient design of 3,5-disubstituted imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]thiadiazoles is reported from 2-mercaptoimidazole, which afforded a versatile platform that was then used to access a variety of original heterocycles.

A Visible-Light-Harvesting Covalent Organic Framework Bearing Single Nickel Sites as a Highly Efficient Sulfur-Carbon Cross-Coupling Dual Catalyst

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as light-harvesting devices, as well as elegant heterogeneous catalysts. The combination of these two properties into a dual catalyst has not yet been explored. We report a new photosensitive triazine-based COF, decorated with single Ni sites to form a dual catalyst. This crystalline and highly porous catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance in the visible-light-driven catalytic sulfur-carbon cross-coupling reaction. Incorporation of single transition metal sites in a photosensitive COF scaffold with two-component synergistic catalyst in organic transformation is demonstrated for the first time.

3-Ethoxy-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole

The title compound, C10H11N3O, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P\overline{1} with Z′ = 2. The two independent molecules (A and B) differ in the orientation of the phenyl rings with respect to the plane of the triazine ring, with an interplanar angle of 11.45 (6)° in molecule A and 19.71 (5)° in molecule B, in the opposite sense. In the crystal, classical N—H...N hydrogen bonds cross-link the molecules to form chains parallel to the b axis. Two additional `weak' C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the chains to form layers parallel to (101).

Controlled Dimroth Rearrangement in the Suzuki-Miyaura Cross Coupling of Triazolopyridopyrimidines

Polynitrogen heterocycles are often subject to Dimroth rearrangement which consists of ring opening, bond rotation, and ring closure. In this note, we report a synthesis of two new families of triazolopyridopyrimidines. Successful functionalization via a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling was performed with total control of triazole (Dimroth) isomerization based on the judicious choice of reaction conditions.
