Metal-free, regioselective, visible light activation of 4CzIPN for the arylation of 2H-indazole derivatives

Abstract: Highly regioselective organo photocatalysis of 4CzIPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene) for the arylation of 2H-indazole is demonstrated. The present synthetic route provides a highly safe and easily accessible aniline precursor as an arylation reagent. The photoactivated 4CzIPN organocatalyst is found to be more efficient for single electron transfer without any organic base for the radical reaction. The carbazole-based photocatalyst (4CzIPN) with wide redox potential is stable and recyclable for further reaction transformations. Many indazole and aniline derivatives were used in the reaction and provided the arylated indazole derivatives in good to excellent yield.

Carbazole based Electron Donor Acceptor (EDA) catalysis for the synthesis of biaryl and aryl-heteroaryl compounds.

Abstract: A highly regioselective, carbazole based Electron Donor Acceptor (EDA) catalyzed synthesis of biaryl and aryl–heteroaryl compounds is described. Various indole and carbazole derivatives were screened for the Homolytic Aromatic Substitution (HAS) reaction. Tetrahydrocarbazole (THC) was very efficient for the HAS transformation and proceeded via a complex formation between diazonium salt and electron rich tetrahydrocarbazole. The UV-Vis spectroscopy technique has been used to confirm the complex formation. The in situ generated EDA complex even in a catalytic amount is found to be efficient for the Single Electron Transfer (SET) process without any photoactivation. Biaryl compounds, 2-phenylfuran, 2-phenylthiophene, and 2-phenylpyrrole and bioactive compounds such as dantrolene and canagliflozin have been synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.

Metal- and Solvent-Free Cascade Reaction for the Synthesis of Amino Pyrazole Thioether Derivatives.

Abstract: We developed an iodine-mediated cascade strategy to synthesize amino pyrazole thioether derivatives (11) in the absence of metals as well as solvents. The present approach provides amino pyrazole thioethers in a highly selective manner without the formation of diaryl sulfide and sulfenyl-enaminonitrile with broad substrate scope. The reactivity of nine sulfenylation sources and synthetic applications of the synthesized compounds have been demonstrated. Thus, the overall iodine-mediated multicomponent reaction (MCR) is more economically feasible, efficient, and environmentally benign.

Visible-light-induced Direct 3-Ethoxycarbonylmethylation of 2-Aryl-2H-Indazoles in Water

Abstract: A visible-light-driven Rhodamine B-catalyzed transition-metal-free 3-ethoxycarbonylmethylation of 2-aryl-2H-indazoles and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines (40 examples) using commercially available α-bromoesters was realized in water. This protocol features sustainable, operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and...
