A novel procedure for the NiCl(2)(DME)/dppp/Zn system catalyzed intermolecular insertion of aryl iodides to nitriles was developed, which afforded variously substituted arylketone derivatives in moderate to good yields with tolerance of a wide variety of functional groups.
An efficient and novel procedure for a copper catalyzed domino coupling reaction has been developed, which afforded various oxindoles in good to excellent yields with tolerance of various substituents. In addition, this method could be applied to synthesize horsfiline and coerulescine in few steps with high total yields.
Iodoarene. -Cu2O/imidazole-4-carboxylic acid are successful for the synthesis of a broad spectrum of diaryl ether derivatives. In the case of diiodobenzene (XI), no double O-arylation is observed. -(CHENG, A.-Y.; HSIEH*, J.-C.; Tetrahedron Lett. 53 (2012) 1, 71-75, http://dx.
Intramolecular Cu‐catalyzed cyclization of o‐bromoarylacetonitrile derivatives provides a novel efficient access towards a wide variety of oxindole derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
