ABSTRACT
A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation or decarbonylation accompanied by decarboxylation cross-coupling reaction of aryl anhydrides with thiophenols as coupling partners was disclosed. This method is promoted by a commercially available, moisture-stable, and inexpensive nickel(II) precatalyst. The process can tolerate a variety of functional groups using ubiquitous aryl anhydrides as cross-coupling precursors to produce thioethers in moderate to excellent yields.
ABSTRACT
Efficient one-pot synthesis of N-imidoyl-(1 H)-indoles has been described, which is achieved by the palladium-catalyzed oxidative insertion of 2-(phenylethynyl)aniline, arylboronic acid, and isonitrile. This method provides a new way to synthesize N-imidoyl-(1 H)-indoles, which has a wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction condition.
ABSTRACT
A novel palladium-catalyzed oxidative three-component coupling of easily accessible N-substituted anthranilamides with isocyanides and arylboronic acids is achieved. This protocol offers an alternative approach toward 2,3-disubstituted quinazolinones with a wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
ABSTRACT
A Cu-mediated stereoselective [4+2] annulation between N-hydroxybenzimidoyl cyanides and norbornene (NBE) has been developed for the synthesis of 4 H-1,2-oxazin-4-ones. The reaction proceeds through sequentially forming C-O/C-C bonds. The advantage of this reaction includes high stereoselectivity, excellent yields, as well as simple and mild reaction conditions. A total of 26 examples are presented along with some control experiments.
