- A new catalytic approach for aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols based on a Copper(I)-thiophene carbaldimines
-
We report here novel Cu(I) thiophene carbaldimine catalysts for the selective aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and various diols to lactones or lactols. In the presence of the in situ generated Cu(I) species, a persistent radical (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine-N-oxyl (TEMPO)) and N-methylimidazole (NMI) as an auxiliary ligand, the reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions and at ambient temperature. Especially the catalytic system of 1-(thiophen-2-yl)-N-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanimine (ligand L2) with copper(I)-iodide showed high reactivity for all kind of alcohols (benzylic, allylic and aliphatic). In the case of benzyl alcohol even 2.5 mol% of copper loading gave quantitative yield. Beside high activity under aerobic conditions, the catalysts ability to oxidize 1,5-pentadiol to the corresponding lactol (86% in 4 h) and N-phenyldiethanolamine to the corresponding morpholine derivate lactol (86% in 24 h) is particularly noteworthy.

- Reactions of 2,2,6-Trimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-one with the Aryl Aldimines Prepared from Thiophene-2-carbaldehyde
-
The reactions of aryl aldimines derived from thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (5–9) with 2,2,6-trimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-one (1) were investigated. The new 1,3-oxazin-4-ones and thienylidene acetoacetamides were obtained in good yields. The synthetic utility of the latter via an intramolecular tandem Friedel–Crafts alkylation–acylation to give tetracyclic heterocyclic rings was also explored.
