Title: Microwave-assisted C–H oxidation of methylpyridylheteroarenes via a Kornblum-Type reaction

Abstract

Expansion of the operational capacity of soft-Lewis basic complexant scaffolds towards improved physical properties for the chemoselective sequestration of minor actinides from the electronically similar lanthanides necessitates rapid access to synthons for efficient complexant construction for downstream employment in separations assays. Pursuant to the aforementioned, we were interested in exploring the potential utility of advanced, unsymmetric heteroarene constructs for separations which required access to pyridyl carbaldehydes. Limited commercial availability of synthetic precursors inspired our effort to define a chemoselective, microwave assisted, Kornblum-type reaction via C–H functionalization. This efficient reaction sequence uses I2 as a mild oxidant without acidic or basic additives, in concert with DMSO as the solvent and putative oxygen source to afford a diverse array of heteroaryl products devoid of competitive remote methyl group oxidation, or degradation of the heteroaryl N atom. Finally, method development, substrate scope, and a preliminary mechanistic hypothesis supported by Density Functional Theory are presented herein.
