Abstract In this work, we developed a catalyst free amination of 2-mercaptobenzoxazoles on water under microwave irradiation. The product, 2-aminobenzoxazoles, were successfully produced via direct amination with various amines in moderate to high yields. The formal synthesis of Suvorexant, a medication for the treatment of insomnia, was accomplished, using developed amination process. The reaction was completed in an hour at 100-150 ̊C in a microwave reactor without the use of external catalyst or additive. Key benefits of this process include an on-water reaction, short reaction time, scalable, catalyst free, and use of 2-mercaptobenzoxazoles as an inexpensive starting material having low environmental impact in its preparation.

Introduction 2-aminobenzoxazoles are ubiquitous motifs in pharmaceutical compounds as they possess broad spectrum of biological activities. Some therapeutically important agents have been constructed from this scaffold such as KDR inhibitor 1 (tyrosine Kinase inhibitor with anticancer activity)1 and 5-HT3 receptor agonist 2 (treatment of Diarrhea)2 (Scheme 1). There are several approaches to convert 2-aminophenol (4) into 2-aminobenzoxazoles (7) however, each process has specific drawbacks. For example, 2aminobenzoxazole (7) can be synthesized from SNAr displacement of 2-substitiuted benzoxazoles3-6 (SO2Me, CCl3, Br and Cl). Although this is a very efficient route, the process requires multiple preparation steps and uses toxic halogenated reagents which often produces undesirable by-products during the reaction. Recently, direct C–H amination of benzoxazole (5) into target amino compound (7) was introduced, utilizing transition metal catalyst such as Cu, Ag, Mn and Co in just one step.7-11 Although this reaction has high atom economy, but toxic metals are used. Another important method is direct synthesis from 2-aminophenol (4) with either isocyanate or isocyanide as amine surrogates. Although the reaction is mild and can be operated in one step but the preparation of isocyanate reagent requires a strong oxidizing agent12-13 while starting from isocyanide needs Pd(0) as catalyst in the reaction.14 Moreover, direct synthesis of 2-aminobenzoxazoles (7) utilizing tertramethyl orthocabonate to generate reactive 2-metoxy benzoxazoles in situ from 2-aminophenol (4) has been reported. Although the reaction can be performed in one pot without the use of metal or any strong oxidizing agent but tertramethyl orthocabonate reagent is required in large amount as solvent in the reaction.15 From process chemistry perspective, the use of hazardous reagent, toxic metal and harmful organic solvent would increase operating cost in large scale production of pharmaceuticals as extra safety protocols and metal removal step are needed. Therefore, a mild, scalable and metal-free approach for 2-aminobenzoxazole synthesis would be highly desirable. Recently, our group become interested in the use of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (6) as a starting material for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzoxazoles (7). Although an extra step is required for the preparation of starting material 6 from 2-aminophenol 4, but the process is relatively green and ACS Paragon Plus Environment

We successfully performed amination of 2-mercaptobenzoxazoles (6) with amine into 2-aminobenzoxazoles (7) using Rose Bengal as a photocatalyst under irradiation by visible light. Regardless of its many benefits, disadvantages of this reaction are use of acetonitrile as organic solvent, long reaction time and use of a strong organic base (DBU).17 Cl HN

Scheme 1. 2-Aminobenzoxazole derivatives with biological activities and synthetic approaches

Water is the solvent of choice for green synthesis as its low cost, non-toxic and nonflammable.18-19 An on-water reaction whereby water is used as the sole solvent without any additive, has recently received numerous attention as it is convenient to perform and interesting reactivity has been observed in several cases.20-42 In view of this new development, herein we report an efficient on-water route for the preparation of 2-aminobenzoxazole (7) using 2-mercaptobenzoxazoles (6) and corresponding amines as starting materials. The reaction was accelerated with microwave and performed without any catalyst, oxidizing agent or extra additive. Our method, when combined with typical synthesis of starting material 2-mercaptobenzoxazoles (6), which required only CS2 and 2-aminophenol (4) in EtOH/H2O, offers a convenient and economical route for the preparation of 2-aminobenzoxazole (7).

Result and discussion We selected the reaction between 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (6) and n-butylamine as a representative catalyst-free amination on-water reaction for the optimization study (Table 1). When the reaction was performed at 100 ̊C for 24 hours in conventional heat (oil bath), all starting materials were consumed to produce 7a in 85% yield (Table 1, entry 1). Reducing reaction time to 1 hour under conventional heat resulted in almost no reaction (Table 1, entry 2). Switching to microwave reactor, the reaction was completed within 1 hour providing the desired amination product in 91 % yield (Table 1, entry 3). This observation clearly demonstrated the acceleration of amination by microwave irradiation. The increase in reaction rate and yield observed under microwave treatment is probably caused by an increase in efficiency of energy transfer and more even distribution of heat by microwave irradiation. This also leads to higher pressure and temperature generated rapidly during the reaction, thereby decreasing the hydrophobic effects. A notable decrease in hydrophobic effects enable the reaction to proceed “in water” without requiring organic solvents.24-25 The reduction of the reaction temperature and time resulted in incomplete conversion of thiol 6 and lower yield of 7a (Table 1, Entry 4 and 5). The amount of butyl amine nucleophile could be reduced from 3.0 to 1.5 equivalent without significant drop of the yield (Table 1 Entry 6), and this amount was used for further study. We would like to emphasize here that this on-water reaction significantly simplified the product isolation. After the reaction, the crude products were separated as a top layer on the water surface (Figure S1) using only small amount of ethyl acetate and pasture pipette to transfer to silica gel column for further chromatography. This reduces the use of organic solvent for extraction. The reaction at 1 gram scale required higher reaction temperatures of 150 ̊C and prolonged reaction time of 2 hour to ensure the completion of the reaction the gave 7a in 81% isolated yield (Table 1, Entry 7). This result suggested that the process may be upscaled with a proper microwave reactor (Table 1, Entry 7).

For ethanolamine, which contains both N and O nucleophilic atoms, only C-N bond formation occurred selectively, affording 7f in 85% yield. Unfortunately, a less reactive nucleophile such as aniline failed to react. However, aromatic amines containing electron donating group such as 4-aminophenol, p-toluidine and 1,4-phenylenediamine reacted with 6 at 150 ̊C to provide the corresponding products (7h-j) in moderate yields (48-66%). Stearic hindrance on ortho position of 1,2-phenylenediamine had little effect on the reaction yield as 7k was obtained in satisfactory yield (58%).

With these promising results in hand, we demonstrated the formal synthesis of Suvorexant, Merck’s drug for the treatment of insomnia, using our microwave-enhanced on-water amination process. In Merck’s process, the key intermediate 10f were prepared via three-step synthesis starting from condensation of aminophenol 4f with trimethyl orthoformate followed by bromination. Then SNAr displacement of 2-bromo-benzoxazole with ethanolamine provided the alcohol 10f in 80% yields (Scheme 3).43 Using our developed method, we were able to intercept the synthesis of a key intermediate 10f. We successfully performed amination using our method to convert commercially available 6chloro-2-mercaptobenzoxazole (10) into 10f in moderate yields. As mentioned above, commercially available chloro 10 can also be prepared from corresponding aminophenol 4f via simple condensation with carbon disulfide in water/EtOH.16 Therefore, combining above process with our method, the ACS Paragon Plus Environment

To shed light on the mechanism, several mechanistic experiments were conducted (Scheme 4). We performed our reaction using 2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazole (11) as a starting material under the optimized condition. No product 7a was observed and only starting material 11 was recovered. This result suggusted that simple SNAr is precluded, as SMe group in 11 is considered as better leaving group than SH moetiey in 6. Moreover, when bidentate amine such as N,N’-diethylethylenediamineas were used as a nucleophile, aminophenol 4 was isolated as the sole product in 69% yield (Scheme 4, eq. 2). It indicated that the reaction perhaps proceeded through the ring-opening mechanism.44 In addition, when o-phenolicthiourea 13b was subjected to the reaction condition without external amine, the cyclized product 7b were obtained in good yield indicating that the 13b could serve as the intermediate ACS Paragon Plus Environment

With the above experiments, we then proposed the mechanism of this amination as seen in scheme 5. Initially, the addition of amine into 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (6) generates adduct 12 as an intermediate. The ring opening of oxazole motif provides the o-phenolicthiourea intermidate 13 which in turn cyclize and lose hydrogensulfide as a by-product during ring-closing process to provide the product 7. The proposed mechanism is also supported by experiment motioned above as shown in scheme 4 (eq. 2). When N,N’ diethylethylenediamine were used as nucleophile, the cyclization of intermediate 13 into 7 was prevented. It appears that nucleophilic attack from N atom occurred instead, resulting in the synthesis of product 4, that was separated in good yield. Scheme 5. Plausible mechanism

To extend the scope this on-water amination, we switched the starting matrial into 4mercaptoquinazoline (16) to prepare 4-aminoquinazolines (17) which is also an important scaffold composing in many therapeutic agents.45 The classical methods to prepare 4-aminoquinazolines (17) rely on the displacement of amine via SNAr with either corresponding halogenated46 or phosponium quinazolines which are derived from 4-hydroxyquinazoline starting material (15).47 However, toxic and expensive reagent are required in those methods. Herein, 4-mercaptoquinazoline (16) was prepared from 4-hydroxyquinazoline (15) using Lawesson’s reagent (scheme 6).48 The microwave-enhanced “on water” amination of 16 proceeded smoothly with various amines including n-butylamine, piperidine and morpholine giving the 4-aminoquinazolines 17a-c in excellent yields (78-87%).

In summary, we developed a novel microwave-enhanced on-water amination reaction and applied it to the synthesis of 2-aminobenzoxazoles. We employed 2-mercaptobenzoxazole derivatives as starting materials due to its low cost, wide availability and low environmental impact in its preparation.

We also successfully extended this method to 4-mercaptoquinazoline, allowing us to access 4aminoquinazolines. In addition, a formal synthesis of Suvorexant, a major pharmaceutical ingredient in sleeping pills, was accomplished using this newly developed reaction. Our preliminary result also indicated that the reaction can be successfully scale up to one gram providing an alternative highly atom economical process for chemical industries. Further studies on microwave-enhanced on water amination reaction to more challenging and important amino heterocycles are currently on-going and will be reported in due course.
