A coupling reaction of N‐phenoxyacetamides with N‐tosylhydrazones or diazoestersthrough RhIII‐catalyzed CHactivation is reported. In this reaction, ortho‐alkenyl phenols were obtained in good yields and with excellent regio‐ and stereoselectivity. Rh–carbene migratory insertion is proposed as the key step in the reaction mechanism.
Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of benzofurans via C–H activation/oxidation tandem reaction and its application to the synthesis of decursivine and serotobenine
A new palladium-catalyzed method for the synthesis of benzofurans by reaction of 2-hydroxystyrenes and iodobenzenes via a CâH activation/oxidation tandem reaction has been unprecedentedly discovered. By using this strategy, the overall synthetic efficiency of the synthesis of decursivine and its analogues was indeed improved. Preliminary mechanistic studies shed light into the possible mechanisms.
An efficient asymmetric hydroesterfication of diarylmethyl carbinols is developed for the first time with a Pd‐WingPhos catalyst, resulting in a series of chiral 4‐aryl‐3,4‐dihydrocoumarins in excellent enantioselectivities and good yields. The method features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, use of easily accessible starting materials, and low palladium loadings. A plausible stereochemical

Pd-catalyzed direct carboxylation of alkenyl C-H bonds with carbon dioxide was realized for the first time. Treatment of 2-hydroxystyrenes and a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2 with Cs2CO3 under atmospheric pressure of CO2 afforded corresponding coumarins in good yield. Furthermore, isolation of the key alkenylpalladium intermediate via C-H bond cleavage was achieved. The reaction was proposed to undergo
A divergent and efficient one-pot sequence allowing direct access to 3-arylbenzofuran derivatives has been developed. The process, involving N-tosylhydrazones and bromophenols, proceeds via a palladium-catalyzed Barluenga–Valdés cross-coupling, followed by an aerobic, copper-catalyzed, radical cyclization to form Csp2–Csp2 and O–Csp2 bonds. 3-Arylated benzofurans bearing various substituents were obtained
