In 2019,Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis included an article by Xie, Jialin; Guo, Zhonglin; Huang, Yuanqiong; Qu, Yi; Song, Hongjian; Song, Haibin; Liu, Yuxiu; Wang, Qingmin. Name: 1-Iodonaphthalene. The article was titled 《One-Pot Copper-Catalyzed Cascade Bicyclization Strategy for Synthesis of 2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazoles and 2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)thiazol-5-yl Aryl Ketones with Molecular Oxygen as an Oxygen Source》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
An atom-economical method for synthesizing N-heterocyclic indoles from readily available o-alkynylphenyl isothiocyanates and propargylamine derivatives is reported. This method involves a copper-catalyzed cascade bicyclization process consisting of an intramol. 5-exo-dig hydrothiolation reaction and an intramol. hydroamination reaction and, depending on whether or not mol. oxygen is present, selectively affords Z-isomers of 2-(1H-indol-1-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazoles, e.g., I (X-rays single crystal structure shown), or 2-(1H-indol-1-yl)thiazol-5-yl aryl ketones in satisfactory yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that mol. oxygen acts as the oxygen source for the ketone moiety in the products.1-Iodonaphthalene(cas: 90-14-2Name: 1-Iodonaphthalene) was used in this study.
1-Iodonaphthalene(cas: 90-14-2) is one of organic iodides. Organic iodides are used in veterinary products (Organic Iodide Powder) as a nutritional source of iodine. In the chemical industry, alkyl iodides serve as excellent alkylating agents and, specifically, methyl iodide is used as a methylating agent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs. Oceanic alkyl iodides are believed to be the principal source of atmospheric iodine.Name: 1-Iodonaphthalene
