Abstract
A series of polycyclic oxazolinium compounds is synthesized from various aryloxazolines with silyl-substituted alkynes and internal alkynes via two synthetic pathways. By using dual photoredox/gold catalysis, the coupling of 2-aryloxazoline diazonium compounds with silyl-substituted alkynes affords silyl-substituted polycyclic oxazoliniums in 20%–36% yield. The coupling of 2-aryloxazolines with internal alkynes affords polycyclic oxazoliniums with up to 81% yield by Rh-catalyzed CH bond functionalization. X-ray crystallographic analysis and circular dichroism reveal the successful coupling of chiral (R)-2-aryloxazolines with internal alkynes and affording the corresponding chiral (R)-oxazoliniums. Cytotoxicity analysis of the polycyclic oxazolinium compounds reveals cytotoxic activity on cancerous HeLa cells in micromolar dosage, with the lowest IC50 of 6.4 μM.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
