The cationic palladium(II) complex 1 of pyridylmesoionic carbene ligand catalyzes Markovnikov-selective intermolecular hydroamination between anilines and terminal alkynes into the corresponding imines. The reaction proceeds at room temperature, in the absence of additives, with exquisite selectivity and diverse functional group tolerance. The key intrinsic feature of the catalyst is the pyridine wingtip confined to the proximity of the alkynophilic metal active site, which mimics the function of enzymelike architectures by assisting entropically favored proton transfers.
The high frequency of the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) emergence renders this group of new psychoactive compounds particularly demanding in terms of detection, identification, and responding. Without the available reference material, one of the specific problems is differentiation and structure elucidation of constitutional isomers. Herein, we report a simple and efficient flow chart diagram applicable for a rapid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) identification and differentiation between azaindoles, 4‐, 5‐, 6‐, and 7‐azaindole, which is a common structural motif of synthetic cannabinoids. The flow chart diagram is based on 1H NMR and 1H–15N NMR spectra, and to prove the concept, it has been tested on 5F‐MDMB‐P7AICA (1). Spectral and analytical data including standard 1D and 2D NMR spectra, gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS), Fourier transform infrared−attenuated total reflectant (FTIR−ATR), Raman, melting point, and combustion analysis are provided for compound 1.
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.
