Pd-catalyzed intramolecular selenocarbamoylation of alkynes leading to alpha-alkylidene-beta-lactams was developed. This reaction can be applied to thiocarbamoylation and to the synthesis of delta- and epsilon-lactams and a cyclobutanone.
Palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective selenoacylation of allenes with selenol esters proceeded to produce functionalized allyl selenides with the acyl moiety at the inner carbon and the SePh group at the terminal carbon in high yields. A mechanism accounting for the observed regio- and stereoselectivities is proposed based on the results of DFT calculations.
Platinum-catalyzed intramolecular vinylthiolation and -selenation of internal alkynes with vinylchalcogenides 1 having a carbamoyl group on cis-beta-position of vinyl moiety was developed. The conjugated six-membered lactam framework 2 was constructed in high yields. Density functional theory calculations for alkyne insertion processes suggest seven-membered platinacycle 3 is a kinetically favored intermediate of this catalytic system.
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.
