A new procedure for the synthesis of monohalogenated cavitands was established, which is at least one step shorter and far more atom-efficient than previously published pathways. These monohalogenated cavitands were demonstrated to be versatile synthons for the synthesis of further functionalized derivatives through cyanation, carboxylation, and a series of palladium-catalyzed Suzuki reactions.
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.
