The article was titled 《Cu(I)-Catalyzed 6-endo-dig Cyclization of Terminal Alkynes, 2-Bromoaryl Ketones, and Amides toward 1-Naphthylamines: Applications and Photophysical Properties》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Functional group substituted 1-naphthylamines, especially N-methylated ones, play important roles in numerous chem. and biol. processes. However, these compounds’ general and step-economic syntheses are highly limited, which seriously restricts efforts to improve the properties and develop new functions for this kind of compound In this report, we describe the development of an efficient, convenient, and general method for the synthesis of valuable functionalized 1-naphthylamines directly from readily available terminal alkynes, 2-bromoaryl ketones, and amides via Cu(I)-catalyzed benzannulation in a green solvent (i.e., water) under Pd- and ligand-free conditions. A total of 82 functionalized 1-naphthylamines, especially synthetically and biol. useful N-methylated compounds, are synthesized in isolated yields up to 95%. Some unique features of the reaction are as follows: (1) exclusive 6-endo-dig selectivity, (2) ready incorporation of a broad range of functional groups directly from easily available substrates, and (3) amides that can be used as aminating agents and that are excellent alternatives to toxic and/or odorous amines. Due to facile tuning of functional groups for the reaction, the products possess good electronic donor-acceptor structures and exhibit intriguing photophys. properties, such as tunable and polarity-sensitive fluorescence emission and large Stokes shifts (up to 258 nm). Utilizing the products’ unique polarity-sensitive fluorescence response, we successfully applied the 1-naphthylamine derivatives, such as compound 91, to image lipid droplets (LDs) and monitor cellular LDs growth. The previously mentioned advantages of this methodol., along with the mild conditions, simple operation, and scalable synthesis, may allow this novel reaction to be extended to varied applications in chem., biol., and materials science. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 4-Ethynylpyridine(cas: 2510-22-7Electric Literature of C7H5N)
4-Ethynylpyridine(cas: 2510-22-7) belongs to pyridine. Pyridines are often used as catalysts or reagents; particular notice has been paid recently to how pyridine coordinates to metal centers enabling a wide range of valuable reactions. Electric Literature of C7H5N
