Synthesis of Quinazolinones, Imidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines and Imidazo[4,5-c]quinolines through Tandem Reductive Amination of Aryl Halides and Oxidative Amination of C(sp3)-H Bonds
文摘
A tandem multicomponent approach has been described for the synthesis of quinazolinones, imidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines and imidazo[4,5-c]quinolines. The reaction involves a copper-catalyzed reductive amination through azidation followed by reduction and oxidative amination of C(sp3)–H bonds of N,N-dimethylacetamide in the presence of TBHP (tert-butylhydroperoxide) as oxidant. The method uses the easily available sodium azide as a nitrogen source and DMA (N,N-dimethylacetamide) as a one-carbon source for the synthesis of these N-fused heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The reaction can also be used for gram-scale synthesis.
