Description
Caesium carbonate or cesium carbonate is a white crystalline solid compound. Caesium carbonate has a high solubility in polar solvents such as water, alcohol and DMF. Its solubility is higher in organic solvents compared to other carbonates like potassium and sodium carbonates, although it remains quite insoluble in other organic solvents such as toluene, p-xylene, and chlorobenzene. This compound is used in organic synthesis as a base. It also appears to have applications in energy conversion.

Cesium Carbonate Promoted Cascade Reaction Involving DMF

Zhang, Qianqian, et al. Organic Chemistry Frontiers, 2018, 5, 1, 80-87.

Cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3)-mediated cascade reaction can be used to synthesize dihydropyrrozinyl[3,2-b ]indol-10-one. The reaction mechanism involves sequential nucleophilic attacks of DMF with the enolate and pyrrolyl nitrogen, followed by the formation of transition metal-free C-N bonds.
Cesium carbonate-mediated cascade reaction procedure
· A sealed tube was charged with 2-(2-bromophenyl)-1-(N-tosyl-2-pyrrolyl)propan-1-one (1.0 mmol), Cs2CO3 (2.0 mmol) and DMF (10 mL).
· The reaction system was recharged with nitrogen three times. The reaction mixture was heated at 120 °C for 24 h and cooled.
· The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc (20 mL) and H2O (40 mL). The separated aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL).
· The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (100 mL), then dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/EtOAc) to afford the products.
