Abstract:
A metal-free cross-dehydrogenation coupling method was established to synthesize N9 alkylated purine derivatives. Using PhI(OAc)2 as the oxidant, versatile thioethers were successfully employed as alkylation reagents. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of alkylated purine derivatives and other aromatic N-heterocycles were obtained in moderate to good yields. The regioselectivity of this protocol which involves the reaction of unsymmetrical thioethers with purine derivatives was also studied.

The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
