Aryl bromides were successfully transformed into their corresponding N,N'-diacylhydrazines via a Pd-catalyzed carbonylative coupling with acylhydrazines. These reactions employed near-stoichiometric amounts of carbon monoxide generated ex situ from a non-gaseous precursor. A range of di-A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (hetero)aryl diacylhydrazines was isolated in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, dehydration conditions were identified that could be used in a compatible one-pot synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The applicability of this method towards 13 C-isotope labeling was also demonstrated, with the production of symmetrical and non-symmetrical doubly isotopically labeled 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Finally, experimental conditions were identified for the carbonylative coupling of aryl bromides with amidoximes and CO producing 1,2,4-oxadiazoles after spontaneous dehydration.
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.
