Metal-Free Electrocyclization at Ambient Temperature: Synthesis of 1-Arylcarbazoles
摘要:
An efficient novel protocol for the construction of an hyellazole-inspired compound collection is described. Starting from 2,6-diarylacetanilides, the desired products were obtained using hypervalent iodine promoted electrocyclization. The mechanism of product formation was investigated through intramolecular competition experiments.
The catalytic reaction of ketoximes with aryliodides via a Beckmann rearrangement in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2, Ag2O and ZnBr2 gave substituted phenanthridines in good to excellent yield. In the reaction, aromatic ketoximes converted first to acetanilides in the presence of ZnBr2/TFA via a Beckmann rearrangement followed by arylation in the presence of palladium complex. Furthermore
