An efficient Cu-catalyzed synthesis of quinazolines via the C-N bond formation reactions between N-H bonds of amidines and C(sp(3))-H bonds adjacent to sulfur or nitrogen atoms in the commonly used solvents, such as DMSO, DMF, DMA, NMP or TMEDA, followed by intramolecular C-C bond formation reactions was developed for the first time.
An unprecedented remote amide-directed palladium-catalyzed intermolecular highly selective benzylic C-H amination with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide is developed, which represents the first direct benzylic C-H amination with a non-nitrene nitrogen source. This methodology provides a novel approach to circumvent the common ortho aromatic C-H selectivity in directed palladium catalyzed C-H functionalization.
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.
