The development of a visible-light-induced catalytic system achieved the decarboxylative acylation of pyridine N-oxides with α-oxocarboxylic acids, at room temperature and using the organic dye fluorescein dimethylammonium as a new type of photocatalyst was reported. A series of 2-arylacylpyridine N-oxides were selectively synthesized in moderate to good yields by controlling the polarity of the reaction solvent. The developed strategy was successfully applied in the synthesis of an important intermediate of the drug, acrivastine, on a gram scale. Notably, this is the first time that fluorescein dimethylammonium was used to catalyzed the Minisci-type C-H decarboxylative acylation reaction. The mechanism of decarboxylative acylation was studied by capturing adducts of acyl radicals and 1,1-diphenylethylene confirmed a radical mechanism. The disclosed catalytic system provided a green synthetic strategy for decarboxylative acylation without the use of addnl. oxidants or metal catalysts. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone (cas: 91-02-1Category: pyridine-derivatives).
Phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone (cas: 91-02-1) belongs to pyridine derivatives. In contrast to benzene, Pyridine’s electron density is not evenly distributed over the ring, reflecting the negative inductive effect of the nitrogen atom. Pyridine derivatives are also useful as small-molecule α-helix mimetics that inhibit protein-protein interactions, as well as functionally selective GABA ligands.Category: pyridine-derivatives
