INTRODUCTION 1,2,4-Thiadiazole derivatives represent an important class of organic molecules. Most of them have been extensively observed in many medicinal materials and biologically active compounds, including antibacterial,1 inhibitory,2 and neuroprotective3 agents (Figure 1).4,5 The development of efficient and practical methods to synthesize diverse 1,2,4-thiadiazole is important. Traditionally, few syntheses of these valuable molecules have been developed.6 In addition, several developments suffer from certain limitations, such as prefunctionalized reactants, multistep protocols or harsh reaction conditions, which lower the synthetic efficiency and generality. Therefore, seeking for new synthetic strategies to construct molecules of this class has been attracting great attention from organic chemists in recent years.7

2-aminopyridine/amidine have long been realized as one of the most widely used commercial reagents in organic synthesis. In the past few decades, the 2-aminopyridines acted as a directing group provided a basic block for the elegant construction of five or six-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds by the formation of N-C9, N-N10, and N-O11 bonds.12 In 2013, our group also developed an efficient method for the synthesis of 2-haloimidazopyridines from aminopyridines and haloalkynes under Cu/O2 catalytic system, in which bidental nitrogen atoms of 2-aminopyridine might coordinate with Cu, and then activated another substrate (Scheme 1).13

Scheme 1. Cyclization of 2-Aminopyridines

On the contrary, the N-S bond formation reaction using 2-aminopyridine as substrate remains challenging14 in despite of great progress of oxidative N-S bond formation via copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation.15 Isothiocyanates are known to be one of the most important intermediates and versatile building blocks.16 However,

they are limited to the synthesis of thiourea intermediate in most cases, and their sulfur atoms were usually discarded, rendering the transformations non-atom economic. Inspired by our previous work in copper/oxygen catalytic system17,18, we speculated that the intermediate generated from 2-aminopyridine and Cu could also activate and direct the C=S group to form a new N-S bond. Herein, a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cascade reaction of 2-aminopyridine with isothiocyanate leading to the formation of 1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives is reported.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION We began our study by choosing 2-aminopyridine (1) and isothiocyanate (2) as model substrates in the presence of catalyst at 50 oC (Table 1). To our delight, the expected 1,2,4-thiadiazole 3 was obtained in 42% yield with CH3CN as the solvent under O2 balloon (entry 1). Then, different solvents were investigated (entries 1-4), and the highest yield was achieved in DCE (entry 3). Subsequently, various copper salts were employed as metal catalysts (entries 5-7), and CuI proved to be an ideal choice among the tested catalysts. Moreover, various pyridine bases were tested in the reaction, and the target product 3 was obtained in 83% yield when adding two equivalents of 2,4-dimethylpyridine (entries 8-10). Control experiments revealed that copper and O2 atmosphere are both critical to this transformation (entries 11 and 12). Table 1. Optimization of the reaction conditions a

2-aminopyridines and isothiocyanates was explored as shown in Table 2. The reactions of electron-rich 2-aminopyridines afforded the products in excellent yields (3aa-3ca, 3bk, 3ck). On the contrary, the reactions of 2-aminopyridines containing electron-poor groups gave desired products in moderate yields and higher yields after prolonging reaction time (3da-3ia, 3fk, 3ik). However, for the substrate with strong electron-withdrawing group, the reaction did not occur and the material was recovered (3ja). Then, the steric hindrance effects in aromatics were examined.

substituted aminopyridine was cycled with excellent yield to deliver 3ka. Unfortunately, the sterically hindered C-6 substituted aminopyridine (3la) did not react with isothiocyanate substrate. The other variants such as 2-aminoquinoline 2-amino(iso)quinolines, and 2-amino(benzo)thiazoles could also react with 2 to give the corresponding product in moderate yields (3ma-3oa). Interestingly, substituted isothiocyanates exhibited similar effect on this transformation. The desired products were formed in 83% and 85% yields respectively (3ab, 3ac). The isothiocyanates bearing electron-withdrawing groups, such as -halo, -CF3, -COOMe at the phenyl ring were obtained in yields ranging from 39% to 78% (3ad-3ah). Similarly, substrates 2 possessing various degrees of steric bulkiness group, such as 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl group (3aj) and tertiary amino group (3an), were detected only in trace amounts. Other substituted isothiocyanates such as N-ethyl (3ak), N-propyl (3al), N-isopropyl (3am), N-cyclopropyl (3ao), N-cyclopentyl (3ap), N-napththyl (3aq), N-benzyl (3ar) and N-propenyl (3as) isothiocyanate were tolerated under the optimized reaction conditions. The structure of 3ak was determined by X-ray single-crystal analysis (see the Supporting Information for details). By comparing the NMR spectra of the compound secured by the crystal structure, the regioselectivity of the remaining compounds was determined. These results indicated the steric and electronic effects affected the product formation. Considering a successful oxidative cyclization process for the synthesis of N-fused 1,2,4-thiadiazoles, we sought to further extend the scope of this practical approach by replacing 2-aminopyridine (1) with phenylbenzamidines (4) to prepare

other 1,2,4-thiadiazoles under the optimal reaction conditions. Gratifyingly, choosing the 2.0 equivalent 2,4-dimethylpyridine to 1.0 equivalent NaOH, we were able to prepare substituted 1,2,4-thiadiazoles very efficiently. As shown in Table 3, for amidine hydrochlorides, no significant substituent effect was observed, and excellent yields were obtained for both electron-donating and electron-with-drawing substituents (5a-5g). Isonicotinimidamide hydrochloride could also obtained the corresponding product (5h). It also should be noted that isothiocyanates with various groups, including -ethyl, -tert-butyl, cyclopropyl, and propenyl, were all tolerated under the reaction conditions, and the desired 5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazole products were obtained in good yields (5i-5m). Meanwhile, for the substrates with low yields, such as 3ia, 3ag, 3ah, 5h, we usually detected the material recovery without other by-products. Table 3.

The obtained N-fused 1,2,4-thiadiazole products bearing various active functional groups were easily converted into a wide range of derivatives using classical organic transformations (Scheme 2). Product 3fa, possessing C(sp2)-Br bonds, underwent Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira coupling reactions to afford the corresponding arylated and alkenylated products in good yields. In addition, a newly formed product 5k could also be smoothly transformed into the corresponding 2-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives,19 which are useful synthons and versatile skeletons in organic synthetic chemistry.

demonstrating that a radical mechanism should be ruled out. Although the product 9 was obtained when 2-aminopyridine (1) was reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate (2) in the absence of copper, it did not produce 3 under the standard conditions, which indicated that the product 9 is not the reaction intermediate.

Scheme 3. Control Experiments

Based on the above results, a possible mechanism is proposed in Scheme 4. Intermediate A is initially generated by the coordination of copper to the substrate with the aid of base.9f, 10a, 13,20 When the copper salt was coordinated to the substrate aminopyridine, it may enhance the nucleophilic reactivity of nitrogen atom at pyridine. Meanwhile, electron-rich sulfur atom at isothiocyanate might also bind to the metal copper species. The use of electron-poor and steric hindered substrates gives inferior results which is consistent with this process. Then, migratory insertion of

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have developed a Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative [3+2] annulation of 2-aminopyridine/amidine with isothiocyanate. A plausible mechanism of the transformation is described. This method is useful for synthesizing various N-fused 1,2,4-thiadiazoles. Meanwhile, the use of molecular oxygen as the oxidant makes the overall chemical transformation sustainable and practical.
