A Free Radical Cascade Cyclization of Isocyanides with Simple Alkanes and Alcohols
摘要:
A copper-catalyzed free-radical cascade cyclization of isocyanides with simple alkanes and alcohols was developed, which allowed convenient access to various alkyl-substituted phenanthridines.
Controllable Rh(III)-Catalyzed C–H Arylation and Dealcoholization: Access to Biphenyl-2-carbonitriles and Biphenyl-2-carbimidates
摘要:
A controllable Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H arylation and dealcoholization of benzimidates with arylboronic esters was developed, delivering various biphenyl-2-carbonitriles and biphenyl-2-carbimidates by simply tuning the reaction conditions. This approach features high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, and easy operation. It also provides an alternative pathway to thoroughly exploit the directing group in transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activations.
Pd-II-catalyzed aromatic C-H bond activation using cyano as a directing group was carried out in TFA medium. Biphenyl-2-carbonitrile derivatives were therefore synthesized from aryl nitriles and aryl halides in moderate to good yields.
