Abstract
Copper-catalyzed highly chemoselective transformations of isoxazol-5-amines have been developed. The first ring-opening hydroselenation of isoxazol-5-amines with selenols or RSeSeR/H2O readily delivers 3-amino-2-selenoacrylamides in high yields, while the C-H selenylation of the substrates with diselenides at a low temperature produces 4-selenoisoxazoles with high efficiency. Both protocols demonstrate good functional group compatibility and mild reaction conditions under inexpensive copper catalysis. Mechanistic studies reveal that the presence of an amino group is indispensable for the successful implementation of the reactions.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
