The regioselective functionalization reaction of unprotected carbazoles with donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes has been demonstrated for the first time. With Sc(OTf) as Lewis acid catalyst, the N-H functionalization of carbazoles takes place through a highly selective nitrogen-initiated nucleophilic ring opening reaction. Significantly, by engaging TfOH as Brønsted acid catalyst, a straightforward C-H functionalization at the 3-position of the unprotected carbazole proceeds via Friedel-Crafts-type addition. This strategy facilitates the diversity-oriented synthesis of carbazole-containing heterocycles and expands the novel application of D-A cyclopropanes.
首次证明了未保护的咔唑与供体-受体(D-A)环丙烷的区域选择性官能团化反应。以Sc(OTf)作为路易斯酸催化剂,咔唑的N-H官能团化通过高度选择性的氮引发亲核开环反应进行。值得注意的是,通过使用TfOH作为布朗斯特酸催化剂,未保护咔唑3位的直接C-H官能团化通过傅克型加成反应进行。该策略促进了含咔唑杂环的多样性导向合成,并扩展了D-A环丙烷的新应用。
