Samarium diiodide-mediated intermolecular coupling of organic halides with cyclic imides
摘要:
SmI2-mediated couplings between a variety of organic halides and cyclic imides have been performed giving either hydroxylactams from N-methylsuccinimide and N-methylphthalimide or delta -ketoamides from N-methylglutarimide. In the latter case, ring opening occurs during hydrolysis. Couplings of imides with alkyl halides require a catalytic amount of NiI2. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
