Abstract

Two practical and simple synthetic methodologies towards various heterobenzyl halides were developed. A series of 2-halomethylquinolines were readily prepared by the one-pot reaction of 2-methylquinolines with CuX (X = I, Br, Cl) and TBHP in CH3CN. A large variety of heterobenzyl iodides, including 2-iodomethylquinolines, 2-iodomethylquinoxalines, 2-iodiomethylbenzooxazole, and 2-iodiomethylbenzothiazole, were efficiently synthesized by one-pot reaction of 2-methylheterocycles with iodine in the presence of CuSO4·5H2O in CH3CN.
