Abstract
Herein, we report the design, synthesis and application of a borylated amidoxime reagent for the direct synthesis of functionalized oxadiazole and quinazolinone derivatives. This reagent exhibits broad synthetic utility to obtain a variety of biologically relevant drug-like molecules. It can be easily prepared at large scale from relatively inexpensive reagents, and can undergo facile transformations to obtain target compounds. The developed amidoxime reagent was synthesized from 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile and hydroxyl amine hydrochloride using N,N-diisopropylethylamine as a base in ethanol under reflux conditions. Overall advantages include a metal-free route to boronated oxadiazoles, quinazolinone derivatives, and restriction of the multistep sequences. Importantly, the boron-rich pharmacophore derived compounds were obtained through an efficient and inexpensive strategy. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
