Abstract

A variety of substituted imidate N-[1-methyleneisobenzofuran-3(1H)-ylidene]benzenamines have been prepared in good to excellent yields by the palladium-catalyzed tandem heteroannulation of o-(1-alkynyl)benzamides with iodobenzene. The products obtained from this process were unusual substituted N-[isobenzo­furan-3(1H)-ylidene]benzenamines. The tandem cyclization of readily available o-(1-alkynyl)benzamides and aryl iodides provided a powerful tool for the preparation of functionally substituted N-[isobenzofuran-3(1H)-ylidene]benzenamine compounds.

Keywords

isobenzofuran - o-(1-alkynyl)benzamide - iodobenzene - tandem - palladium catalysis

General Procedure for the Preparation of N -[Isobenzo-furan-1 (3 H )-ylidene]benzenamine Compounds To a solution of o-(1-alkynyl)benzamides 1 (0.50 mmol) in MeCN (3.0 mL) was added 2,6-lutidine (1.00 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 10 min and Pd(PPh3)4 (5 mol%) and organic halides (0.60 mmol) were added. The resulting mixture was then heated under an argon atmosphere at refluxing temperature. When the reaction was considered complete, as determined by TLC analysis, the reaction mixture was cooled to r.t., quenched with a sat. aq solution of NH4Cl, and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with H2O and sat. brine. The organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to afford the corresponding N-[1-(diphenylmethylene)isobenzofuran-3 (1H)-ylidene]benzenamine. Thus, starting with 1a (149 mg, 0.5 mmol) and iodobenzene 2a (122 mg, 0.6mmol), a yellowish solid product 4aa (273 mg, 73%) was isolated; mp 173-175 ˚C. ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.24 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.14-7.29 (m, 5 H), 7.35-7.41 (m, 5 H), 7.48-7.52 (m, 7 H), 8.00 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1 H). ¹³C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 120.77, 123.27, 123.42, 124.02, 124.76, 127.50, 127.86, 128.38, 128.59, 129.24, 129.26, 129.86, 130.66, 130.82, 131.68, 136.67, 137.80, 137.90, 145.64, 145.77, 153.98.
