Synthesis of oxindole-3-acetates through iron-catalyzed oxidative arylalkoxycarbonylation of activated alkenes
摘要:
An iron-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation/cyclization reaction of N-arylacrylamides with carbazates has been developed. This new alkene difunctionalization reaction provides an efficient and straightforward method to obtain various ester-containing oxindoles. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
