CO2 at atmospheric pressure is used in two Pd-catalyzed multicomponent reactions to produce functionalized 5-methylene-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones from propargylamines and aryl halides.
The reaction of indoles and stabilized cyclopropyl alkynes under gold‐ and/or gold & Brønsted acid‐catalysis provided access to highly substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles. A mechanistic study revealed the complex mechanism underlying these processes and the opportunistic cooperation of Lewis and Brønsted acid‐catalysts towards the formation of complex molecular scaffolds.
Starting from propargylamines and aryl halides an efficient procedure for the incorporation of atmospheric CO2 is developed which leads to a stereocontrolled, atom‐economic and high‐yielding synthesis of previously inaccessible heterocycles.
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.
