    Phenyliodine(III) Diacetate-Mediated 1,2-ipso-Migration in Mannich Bases of Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines: Preparation of N-Acetoxymethyl/Alkoxymethyl-N-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-amines
    (ACS, 2020-05) Kumar, Anil
    Phenyliodine(III) diacetate -mediated 1,2-ipso-migration of an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring via the formation of an aziridine intermediate in Mannich bases derived from imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, 2-pyridylamines or arylamines, and formaldehyde is reported. The imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines bearing different substituents showed excellent migratory aptitude and resulted in corresponding N-acetoxymethyl-, N-alkoxymethyl-, and N-hydroxymethyl-N-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-amine derivatives in moderate to excellent (42 examples; 35–93%) yields. Radical trapping experiments confirmed the involvement of a non-radical intermediate. The developed protocol is amenable for a scale-up reaction, and synthetic utility of N-acetoxymethyl products was demonstrated by transforming them to corresponding N-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amines

    Mechanochemical Ruthenium-Catalyzed Ortho-Alkenylation of N-Heteroaryl Arenes with Alkynes under Ball-Milling Conditions
    (ACS, 2022-04) Kumar, Anil
    The mechanochemical, solvent-free Ru(II)-catalyzed alkenylation of N-heteroaryl arenes with alkynes has been successfully described. A wide spectrum of arenes bearing N-heteroaryl moieties such as imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, benzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, 2H-indazole, 1H-indazole, 1H-pyrazole, and 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-one as a directing group reacted with various substituted alkynes under ball milling in the presence of [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2, affording dialkenylated products in moderate to good yields. The reaction of 2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione with 1-phenyl-1-propyne afforded a monoalkenylated product. Similarly, reaction of 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine with aliphatic terminal alkynes produced a monoalkenylated derivative as the major product along with minor amount of dialkenylated product. The developed method exhibited excellent functional group compatibility, broad substrate scope, shorter reaction times, and no external heating. Moreover, the method can be readily scaled-up as demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis of 2-(2,6-bis((E)1-phenylprop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine.

    Synthesis of aza-fused isoquinolines through domino cross-aldol condensation and palladium-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation
    (ACS, 2014) Kumar, Dalip; Kumar, Anil
    A straightforward method has been developed for the synthesis of aroyl-substituted imidazo-/benzimidazo-fused isoquinolines. The cascade reaction proceeds via a cross-aldol condensation of 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl/benzimidazolyl-1-yl)-1-arylethanones and 2-bromobenzaldehyde followed by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C–H functionalization. This approach offers a simple and efficient alternative one-pot protocol for the assembly of imidazo/benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolines in moderate to good yields.

    A Simple and Efficient Synthesis of 2,3-Diarylnaphthofurans Using Sequential Hydroarylation/Heck Oxyarylation
    (ACS, 2013) Kumar, Anil
    An efficient and simple strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-diarylnaphthofurans using sequential hydroarylation of naphthols and alkynes in the presence of In(OTf)3 under microwave irradiation followed by one-pot Heck-oxyarylation of generated 1-substituted-α-hydroxy styrenes.

    Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Azide–Alkyne Cycloaddition, Ullmann Type C–N Coupling, and Intramolecular Direct Arylation
    (ACS, 2013) Kumar, Anil; Khungar, Bharti
    A ligand-free copper-catalyzed tandem azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), Ullmann-type C–N coupling, and intramolecular direct arylation has been described. The designed strategy resulted in the synthesis of a novel trazole-fused azaheterocycle framework. The reaction gave good yields (59–77%) of 1,2,3-triazole-fused imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in a single step.

    NEXT Access to Substituted Dihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]indoles via Sequential Rearrangements During S-Alkylation and Au-Catalyzed Hydroarylation on Indoline-2-thiones
    (ACS, 2020-04-20) Kumar, Anil
    An efficient methodology for the synthesis of indole-fused dihydrothiopyrans has been developed from indoline-2-thiones. The protocol involves the synthesis of conjugated ene-yne-substituted indole-sulfides, a gold(III)-catalyzed rearrangement of the ene-yne side chain followed by intramolecular hydroarylation via C3–H functionalization of the indole core. This new synthesis of functionalized tricyclic indole derivatives through sequential rearrangements is quite general in nature

    Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Regioselective Ortho Amidation of Imidazo Heterocycles with Isocyanates
    (ACS, 2016) Kumar, Anil; Sakhuja, Rajeev
    Direct ortho amidation at the phenyl ring of 2-phenylimidazo heterocycles with aryl isocyanates has been achieved via a chelation-assisted cationic ruthenium(II) complex catalyzed mechanism. The methodology provides a straightforward, high-yielding regioselective approach toward the synthesis of an array of ortho-amidated phenylimidazo heterocycles without prior activation of C(sp2)–H. This also reports the first method for coupling of aryl isocyanates with the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine system via a pentacyclometalated intermediate. The methodology is found to be easily scalable and could be applied toward the selective ortho amidation of 2-heteroarylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine frameworks.

    Au-Catalyzed Synthesis of Thiopyrano[2,3-b]indoles Featuring Tandem Rearrangement and Hydroarylation
    (ACS, 2017) Kumar, Anil; Kumar, Dalip
    Gold(III)-catalyzed synthesis of 14-π electron heteroaromatic thiopyrano[2,3-b]indole is reported using conjugated enyne tethered indole sulfides, featuring skeletal rearrangement conjoined with intramolecular hydroarylation (via C3–H functionalization of the indole core) and oxidative aromatization. Subsequent Pd-catalyzed C–C coupling resulted in a 16-π electron heteroaromatic isothiochromeno[1,8,7-bcd]indole.
