Carbon Tetrachloride-Mediated Cyclization of (2-Alkynyl)arylaldimines for the Synthesis of Polychlorinated Nitrogen Heterocycles

Catalytic Asymmetric Tandem Reaction of o-Alkynylbenzaldehydes, Amines, and Diazo Compounds

An efficient asymmetric tandem reaction of o-alkynylbenzaldehydes, amines, and diazo compounds catalyzed by chiral silver imidodiphosphate has been established. Chiral 1,2-dihydroisoquinoline analogues have a tertiary stereocenter at the C1 position, and substituents at the C3 position are available with up to 97% yields and 98% ee. These products can be elaborated into the corresponding β-aminophosphonates or PARP1-inhibitor analogues.

Recent advances in the application of tetrabromomethane in organic synthesis

This review article covers the use of tetrabromomethane as mediator, catalyst and reagents for organic synthesis for the period from 2007 to 2020.

Rapid synthesis of 3-amino-1H-isochromene from ortho-ynamidyl het(aryl) aldehyde derivatives

A simple and original efficient synthesis of 3-amino-1H-isochromene bearing a bromine atom at the C-1 position via a 6-endo-cyclization approach from in situ generated ortho-ynamidyl het(aryl) aldehyde derivatives is achieved under mild reaction conditions and with good yields. Original ortho-ynamidyl benzaldehyde compounds were also successfully obtained.

Fast synthesis of 3-amino-1H-isochromene from in situ generated ortho-ynamidyl het(aryl) aldehyde derivatives.

1,2-Aminohalogenation of arynes with amines and organohalides

An unprecedented use of inexpensive organohalides as halogen electrophiles to trap the zwitterion intermediates generated from amines and arynes has been developed to access structurally diverse tertiary 2-haloanilines. Effective organohalides include carbon tetrachloride, hexachloroethane, N-chlorosuccinimide, carbon tetrabromide, fluorotribromomethane, N-bromosuccinimide, carbon tetraiodide, and N-iodosuccinimide.
