Approach to the Synthesis of Unsymmetrical/Symmetrical Maleimides via Desulfitative Arylation at Different Temperatures
New routes toward selective synthesis of both mono-and diaryl maleimides have been innovated. The mere requirement to this end is through the increase of temperature. The method works effectively for maleic anhydride and maleic acid as well. Also, the fir
Selective and tunable synthesis of 3-arylsuccinimides and 3-arylmaleimides from arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates and maleimides
A highly efficient synthetic strategy for synthesizing 3-arylsuccinimides has been developed from arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates and maleimides in the presence of TiCl3. The reactions generated 3-arylsuccinimides in satisfactory yields under mild reaction conditions. In addition, 3-arylmaleimides were obtained by the coupling of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and maleimides catalyzed by CuCl. This methodology provided the selective and tunable synthesis of two classes of products by simply switching different metal reagents. The methods are simple, efficient and practical.
