Abstract: Abstract A convenient synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinazolines via rearrangement of indazolium salts was described. A mechanistic study using isotope labelling experiment revealed that the rearrangement passes through cleavage of N-N bond/ring opening after basic deprotonation of 2-benzyl in indazolium salts to yield intermediate E, which proceeds in an intramolecular N-nucleophilic addition to form the observed product. Computational analyses imply that the pathway of the rearrangement is determined by the energy barriers of the ring-closing process and the stability of the product. The quinazoline skeleton is a common structural motif in the N-containing heterocycles compounds with an extensive spectrum of bioactivities.1 Recent research results of the quinazoline analogues shown that their potential applications in antibacterial,2 anticancer,3 antiviral,4

Dihydroquinazolines skeleton can be constructed from 2-aminobenzophenone and aldehydes under microwave irradiation. 9b Although these reported methods are efficient, the mild and rapid approaches for the synthesis of dihydroquinazolines from readily available starting materials would still be desired. Carbenes containing a divalent carbon atom have been regarded as highly reactive species in organic transformations. 10 The preparation of the first isolable carbene bearing adjacent phosphorus and silicon substituents was only achieved three decades ago by Bertrand and co-workers; this study ushered a dramatic surge in the research on isolable carbene.11 NHCs have become one of the most significant developments in both organometallic chemistry and organocatalysis.12 NHCs have been widely utilized as alternatives to phosphine ligands for transition metal-catalytic reactions because of their strong σ-donating ability and high stability toward oxygen and moisture.13,14 The steric hindrance and electronic properties of NHCs can also be readily fine-tuned through the variation in the backbone of N-heterocycles and/or

N-substituents.15 NHCs with a carbene center adjacent to only one heteroatom have shown some different features from that of NHCs adjacent to two heteroatoms, such as imidazole, imidazoline and benzimidazoline. 16,17 Indazolin-3-ylidenes are the representative examples of this class of NHCs and their coordination chemistry and utility as ligands were investigated.18

We also described the use of indazolium salts as efficient carbene precursors for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling of aryl bromides with arylboronic acids.19 As a rational extension, we attempted to use indazolium salts for the palladium-catalytic Heck reaction between ester acrylate with aryl bromide. Unexpectedly, we were unable to obtain the Heck reaction product and a trace of new compound was isolated. After analysis of the spectrum of the new compound, we inferred that the new compound possibly came from the rearrangement of indazolium salts. Molecular rearrangement has gained considerable attention in organic synthesis, because it represents a new pathway based on the reorganization of the bonds of easily available reactants.

Several

examples of organic synthesis based on N-N bond cleavage have been reported,

21 and

have also been considered to be fairly helpful in understanding the mechanisms of nitrogen fixation and searching the possibility of developing new transformations that can utilize molecular nitrogen and/or others compounds containing N-N bond.22 However, reports on the molecular rearrangement based on N-N bond cleavage have been scarce. Rearrangement of NHCs of pyrazoles and indazols were observed, which can be used as an approach for the synthesis of 4-aminoquinolines, acridines, and the relative compounds (Scheme 1a).

Interestingly, the present rearrangement demonstrated a

different mechanism from previous reports and produced 1,2-dihydroquinazolines (Scheme 1b). Herein, we report the rearrangement of the indazolium salts bearing various

N-substituents and their mechanism by experiment and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Scheme 1. 1 The rearrangement of indazoliums

Based on the primary discovery, indazolium bromide 1a was examined as the model compound to optimize the rearrangement condition (Table 1). The initial screening of solvents indicated that toluene, dioxane and DMSO are suitable for the study, whereas DMF and THF yielded moderate results (entries 1–5). The present rearrangement is tolerant to H2O (entry 6). Considering the convenience of being free of workup, we opted to use toluene as solvent. Lower yields were observed when the reaction temperature was lowered (entries 7–8). Investigations into the effects of bases suggested that Cs2CO3, K2CO3, Na2CO3 and K3PO4 are suitable bases for the present rearrangement reaction (entries 9–11). However, Et3N proved to be less effective (entry 12). We also attempted to determine the possibility of asymmetric version using (+)-cinchonine as base. However, racemic target compound was obtained in reasonable yield (entry 13).

substituents and substitution patterns of the N-substituted benzyl of indazolium salts were all tolerated. Methyl substituted 1b–1d 1b 1d were successfully transferred into the corresponding 2b–2d 2b 2d in good to high yields (70%–95%). A bulkier substrate with mesityl group also provided the desired product 2e in good yield. Indazolium salts containing strong electron-donating substituted aryl group were good substrates for the present rearrangement, affording the desired product in high yields (2f 2f–2g 2f 2g). 2g Substrates bearing electron-withdrawing substituted aryl groups, including chloro-, fluoro- and nitro-groups were tested for the present rearrangement, and the desired rearrangement products were afforded in moderate to good yields (2h 2h–2m 2h 2m). 2m Results indicate that electronic property and steric hindrance on the N-substituted benzyl had a slight effect on the observed rearrangement. Scheme 2. Scope for the rearrangement reactiona,b.

Further investigations showed that the present rearrangement has a broad substrate scope (Scheme 2). Indazolium salts with 1-methyl and 1-ethyl groups were good substrates for the present rearrangement, forming the desired product in good to high yields (2n 2n–2p 2n 2p). 2p Furthermore, substrates, the core aryl groups of which have electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituted groups, including methoxy, benzyloxy, and bromo groups, were examined for the present rearrangement, and the corresponding rearrangement products were obtained in moderate to high yields (2q 2q–2z 2q 2z). 2z Indazolium salt, whose 2-benzyl group replaced by a cinnamyl group, was a good substrate for the present rearrangement, producing 3a in high yield. Next, we investigated the mechanism of the present rearrangement. Initially, we supposed that the rearrangement should be followed a mechanism as shown in Scheme 3.

Thus,

deprotonation of 1a by base gave ylide A or carbene A’, which proceeds cleavage of N-N bond/ring opening to afford an intermediate keteneimine B. 1,3–H shift or 1,5’–H shift of the keteneimine B produces intermediate C or D, respectively.24 6π−Electrocyclization of the intermediate C gave the observed product 2a. 2a However, another possible rearrangement

product 4 derived from intermediate D through 1,5’–H shift could not be detected, which ruled out the possibility of 1,5’–H shift. If it is true, the rearrangement of deuterated 1-benzyl or 2-benzyl should give two different products. Scheme 3. Proposed rearrangement mechanism I.

Thus, the rearrangement of isotope labeling 1-benzyl and 2-benzyl 1a were carried out at the same condition as that of 1a (Scheme 4). Interestingly, the rearrangement of 1a-1-benzyl 1a D2 gave the expected 2a-1-benzyl D2 containing total D, while 1a-2-benzyl D2 gave 2a 1a 2a-2-benzyl D containing 58-64% D and the desired 2a-2, 2a 2a 4-di-D was not observed. This result implies that the present rearrangement did not proceed 1, 3-H shift of the keteneimine B. Scheme 4. Isotope labelling experiment of the rearrangement.

Based on the above results, we propose the second mechanism of the rearrangements, as shown in Scheme 5. Given the intramolecular N-nucleophilic addition of intermediate E or 6π−electrocyclization of the intermediate C to obtain the desired product 2a, 2a we speculated that formation of intermediate G through deprotonation of 2-benzyl in 1a with bases and subsequent cleavage of N-N bond/ring opening yielded intermediate E or its non-polar resonance structure C (Scheme 5, top). In principle, formation of intermediate H through deprotonation of 1-benzyl in 1a with bases and similar cleavage of N-N bond/ring opening process could yield intermediate F or its non-polar resonance structure D, proceeding in a similar rout to form the product 4 (Scheme 5, bottom). However, the conceivable rearrangement product 4 was not observed. We estimated that the observed regioisomeric product resulted from the difference in the stability of transition state and/or intermediates of both E and F (video post). The observed facts can be readily explained following the new mechanism of these rearrangements. We ascribe the lower deuterated ratio of 2a-2-benzyl D 2a (58%–64%) to the exchange of proton with deuterium under alkalic conditions.25 Scheme 5. Proposed mechanism for the rearrangement II.

We carried out quantum chemical calculations for the reaction pathway to gain further understanding of the mechanism of the present rearrangements (see SI for computational details).26 The equilibrium geometries of indazolium are presented in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the DFT-calculated Mulliken charge (Q) of N1 atom differs significantly from that of the N2 atom. The N1 possesses a negative charge of 0.389, which is 0.156 greater than the 0.233 value for N2. Meanwhile, H1 and H2 possess almost the same positive charge of around 0.248. The calculated pKa values of H1 and H2 are 0.15 and 0.14 at 70℃, respectively, which can be regarded that the acidity of H1 equals to the acidity of H2. Therefore, the charge difference of N1 and N2 has no effect on the activity of H atoms. However, because of its more negative charge, N1 can attack C2 more easily than when N2 attacks C1. The results are in line with the observed regioselectivity outcomes. Furthermore, the results are in accordance with the following energy analyses.

Figure 1. Equilibrium geometries of indazolium. Part Mulliken charges and part bond length (Å) are signed. H: white, C: yellow, N:blue.

The calculated energy profiles of the main reaction (MR) (Scheme 5, top) and side reaction (SR) pathways (Scheme 5, bottom) are depicted in Figure 2. In our calculation, the reaction mechanism involves ring-opening and ring-closing processes. In the ring-opening process, MR and SR, exhibit almost same energy barriers, which are 7.3 and 6.1 kcal mol-1, respectively. The SR intermediate F is much more stable than the MR intermediate E. However, in the ring-closing process, the energy barriers of MR and SR are 3.7 and 11.4 kcal mol-1, respectively, and the MR product 2a is more stable by 15.9 kcal mol-1 than that of SR product 4. As a result, the MR product 2a is the proposed product. The results, which are in agreement with the observed regioselectivity, suggest that the reaction route of the present rearrangement is determined by the energy barriers of the ring-closing step and the stability of the rearrangement product. We also estimated the synergic reaction pathways, i.e. the reaction with the simultaneous breaking of old bonds (N1-N2 bond) and formation of new bonds (N1-C2 bond) through a three-member ring transition state (TS)(Scheme 6). 27 In this calculation, the angle of N1-N2-C2 was fixed at a reasonable angle (from 70° to 150° by step size 5°), and other structural parameters were optimized. The energy curve formed by each minimized energy shows that the concerted reaction had to overcome a huge energy barrier of more than 40 kcal mol-1. Therefore, this reaction path is highly unlikely to occur.

Conclusions In summary, we disclosed the rearrangement of indazolium salts bearing various N-substituents under mild conditions, producing 1,2-dihydroquinazolines. Research on the mechanism through isotope labelling experiment and DFT calculation imply that the present rearrangement passes through a cleavage of N-N bond/ring opening after deprotonation of 2-benzyl in 1a with base to yield intermediate E. The reaction then proceeds as an intramolecular N-nucleophilic addition to yield the observed product 2a. 2a The reaction pathway of the present rearrangement was determined by the energy barriers of the ring-closing process and the stability of the product. The rearrangement products with a broad range of substituted benzyl or alkyl were obtained in good to high yields. Further transformation potential and possible bioactive test are currently underway. ■ EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

(25) The exact reason for a lower deuterated ratio of 4a-2-benzyl D is not so clear at present. The 4a deuterated ratio did not further be reduced when used the product 2a-2-benzyl D (58-64%) as substrate under the reaction condition. (26) (a) Frisch, M. J.; Trucks, G. W.; Schlegel, H.
