A new and efficient catalytic approach to the synthesis of 3-acylindoles under Pd-Cu-cocatalyzed oxidative conditions is demonstrated. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) acts not only as the oxidant, but also as an oxygen source in the approach. The process allows quick and atom-economical assembly of 3-acylindoles from readily available starting materials and tolerates a broad range of functional groups.
Ag-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkynyl benzyl azides offers a novel and efficient method for the synthesis of substituted isoquinoline. The reaction proceeds smoothly in moderate to good yields and tolerates considerable functional groups. The reaction conditions and the scope of the process are examined, and a plausible mechanism is proposed.
A domino reaction via palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of benzimidoyl chlorides with 1,6-enynes and then cyclization to form quinoline derivatives has been developed. The reaction conditions and the scope of the process are examined, and a plausible mechanism is proposed. The procedure is simple, rapid, and general, and the substrates are readily available.
Herein we report on the development of a mild and efficient intramolecular oxidative cyclization reaction of substituted aromatic enamines and C(sp3)-H bond adjacent to nitrogen with alkynes or alkenes, leading...
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.
