What is 5-Nitroisocoumarins from tandem Castro–Stephens coupling—6-endo-dig cyclisation of 2-iodo-3-nitrobenzoic acid and arylethynes and ring-closure of methyl 2-alkynyl-3-nitrobenzoates with electrophiles about?
Reaction of 2-iodo-3-nitrobenzoic acid with arylalkynyl copper(I) reagent gave 3-aryl-5-nitroisocoumarins. Castro-Stephens coupling was followed by in situ Cu-catalysed ring-closure. 1 H NMR and X-ray crystallography showed the cyclisations to be 6-endo, contrasting with reports of 5-exo cyclisation of analogous 2-iodobenzoate esters with alkynes. Sonogashira couplings of methyl 2-iodo-3-nitrobenzoate with phenylacetylene and with trimethylsilylacetylene gave the corresponding 2-alkynyl-3-nitrobenzoate esters. With HgSO 4 , the phenylalkyne underwent 6-endo cyclisation to give 5-nitro-3-phenylisocoumarin. The disubstituted alkyne esters gave 4-phenylselenylisocoumarins with PhSeCl. 5-Nitro-3-phenyl-4-phenylselenylisocoumarin shows significant sterically-driven distortion of the isocoumarin ring. Reaction of methyl 3-nitro-2-phenylethynylbenzoate with ICl gave the 4-iodoisocoumarin. Thus the nitro group tends to direct these electrophile-driven cyclisations towards the 6-endo mode.
