Reductive Cyclization of N-Alkyl- and N-Aryl-N-(2-Nitrophenyl) Amides to 1,2-Disubstituted Benzimidazoles
by Nash E. Nevels, Matthew E. Germond and Richard A. Bunce

Abstract
A new three-step strategy for the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted 1H-benzo[d]imidazoles has been developed. The approach involved (1) SNAr addition-elimination of alkyl- or arylamines to 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene to give N-alkyl- or N-aryl-2-nitroanilines, (2) acylation of these adducts [...] Read more.
A new three-step strategy for the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted 1H-benzo[d]imidazoles has been developed. The approach involved (1) SNAr addition-elimination of alkyl- or arylamines to 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene to give N-alkyl- or N-aryl-2-nitroanilines, (2) acylation of these adducts with acid chlorides to afford N-alkyl- or N-aryl-N-(2-nitrophenyl) amides, and (3) reduction of the aromatic nitro with iron in acetic acid at 95–100 °C, followed by closure of the resulting amine on the amide carbonyl to produce 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles in high yields. The sequence gave the benzimidazole products in NMR-pure form with only one purification after Step 2. Thirty-seven derivatives were prepared, providing a broad selection of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles. Interestingly, the reaction of the aniline nitrogen derived from the reduction of the nitro group afforded the final product by addition to the acyl carbonyl, followed by dehydrative aromatization with no competing rearrangement, acyl transfer, or side products.

A simple and efficient hydroxide-mediated SNAr rearrangement was reported to synthesize new depside derivatives containing the diaryl ether skeleton from the natural product barbatic acid. The prepared compounds were determined using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and X-ray crystallographic analysis and were also screened in vitro for cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines and one normal cell line. The evaluation results showed that compound 3b possessed the best antiproliferative activity against liver cancer HepG2 cell line and low toxicity, which made it worth further study. Full article

An efficient method for the synthesis of pyrazolo [4,3-b]pyridines has been developed on the basis of readily available 2-chloro-3-nitropyridines via a sequence of SNAr and modified Japp–Klingemann reactions. The method offers a number of advantages including utilization of stable arenediazonium tosylates, operational simplicity as well as combining the azo-coupling, deacylation and pyrazole ring annulation steps in a one-pot manner. An unusual rearrangement (C-N-migration of the acetyl group) was observed and a plausible mechanism was proposed based on the isolated intermediates and NMR experiments. In addition, the developed protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of 1-arylindazoles combining the Japp–Klingemann reaction and cyclization of the resulting hydrazone as a one-pot procedure.

A review of the recent literature is given focusing on synthetic approaches to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines, 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinolinones and 4(1H)-quinolinones using domino reactions. These syntheses involve: (1) reduction or oxidation followed by cyclization; (2) SNAr-terminated sequences; (3) acid-catalyzed ring closures or rearrangements; (4) high temperature cyclizations and (5) metal-promoted processes as well as several less thoroughly studied reactions. Each domino method is presented with a brief discussion of mechanism, scope, yields, simplicity and potential utility. Full article
