Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade Decarboxylative Amination/6-<i>endo-dig</i> Benzannulation of <i>o</i>-Alkynylarylketones with <i>N</i>-Hydroxyamides To Access Diverse 1-Naphthylamine Derivatives
An efficient and practical one-pot strategy to produce highly substituted 1-naphthylamines via sequential palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative amination/intramolecular 6-endo-dig benzannulation reactions has been described. In this reaction, a broad range of electron-rich, electron-neutral, and electron-deficient o-alkynylarylketones react well with N-hydroxyl aryl/alkylamides to give a diversity of
