A novel highly diastereoselective palladium-catalyzed dearomative reaction of N-halobenzoyl o-haloaniline derivatives has been developed using functionalized N-tosylhydrazones as the coupling partners. This cascade dearomative protocol, which proceeds through a sequential...
An elegant Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Heck dearomative
alkenylation
of aryl iodides with functionalized N-tosylhydrazones
proceeded through a sequential dearomative carbopalladation, migratory
insertion, and β-hydride elimination in the presence of Pd(CF3COO)2 (10 mol %), PPh3 (30 mol %), and
Cs2CO3 (2.0 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (2.0 mL) at
120 °C for 14 h under an argon atmosphere. This cascade cycloaddition
protocol provided a reliable and versatile approach to a sequence
of structurally diverse indolines in moderate to good yields with
good functional group compatibility. In addition, the synthetic robustness
of the methodology is highlighted by a scaled-up experiment and derivatization
of products via epoxidation and reduction 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.
