A facile and efficient method is presented for the synthesis of 6‐alkylated phenanthridine, possessing hindered quaternary carbon centers, by Zn‐mediated reductive trapping of tertiary alkyl radicals with both electron‐rich and electron‐deficient aryl isocyanides using nickel as a promoter. Bench‐stable and operation‐friendly tertiary alkyl oxalates derived from abundant tertiary alkyl alcohols were first used as radical precursors for the alkylation of isocyanobiphenyl species. This reaction displays excellent functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, allowing access to desired products in good to excellent yields.
This
paper describes an efficient strategy to promote alkenyl thioetherifications
via the Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of inactivated or β-aryl-substituted
(E)-alkenyl halides with thio-alcohols/phenols. The
present strategy with easy-to-operate reaction conditions represents
one of the most effective alkenyl C(sp2)–S bond-forming
methods via readily accessible nickel catalysis. Notably, the mildly
basic conditions employed facilitate access to a broad scope including
protected amino acids, saccharides, and heterocycles. Moreover, this
work presents its attractive usefulness by the application in late-stage
modifications of several structurally complex natural products and
pharmaceuticals.
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.
