α-Heteroarylation of Esters, Lactones, Amides, and Lactams by Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
摘要:
A mild and efficient alpha-heteroarylation of simple esters and amides was developed via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The choice of NaHMDS in toluene gave the best results. A tandem a-heteroarylation and hydroxylation protocol using air as the oxidant afforded tertiary alcohols in good yields.
