A simple and mild protocol for copper(I)-mediated sulfonylation of 8-aminoquinoline amides with sulfonyl chlorides was developed, affording desired products in moderate to good yields. This reaction proceeds in air and features excellent substrate tolerance, especially for aliphatic sulfonyl chlorides.
The development of universal catalyst systems that enable efficient, selective, and straightforward chemical transformations is of immense scientific importance. Here we develop a domino process comprising three consecutive reaction steps based on the strategy of supramolecular substrate recognition. This approach provides valuable β-aryl aldehydes from readily accessible α-alkynoic acids and arenes under mild reaction conditions, employing a supramolecular Rh catalyst containing an acylguanidine-bearing phosphine ligand. Furthermore, the synthesis of a key intermediate of Avitriptan using this protocol is accomplished. The first step of the reaction sequence is proved to be the regioselective hydroformylation of α-alkynoic acids. Remarkably, molecular recognition of the ligand and the substrate via hydrogen bonding plays a key role in this step. Control experiments indicate that the reaction further proceeds via 1,4-addition of an arene nucleophile to the unsaturated aldehyde intermediate and subsequent decarboxylation.
In this report, a palladium catalyzed direct trisallylation of azoles with alkyne via a novel subsequent mono C(sp2)–H allylation/olefin isomerization/y-selective double C(sp3)–H allylation process was developed. A wide range of substituted trisallylated azoles bearing all quaternary carbon centers has been synthesized efficiently and with high atom economy.
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.
