A palladium-catalyzed arylation of N-acyl-N,O-acetals with arylboronic reagents: synthesis of diarylmethylamines protected by easily removable acyl group
摘要:
An efficient process was developed to synthesis diarylmethylamines protected by a readily removable acyl group using a palladium-catalyzed arylation of N-acyl-N,O-acetals with arylboronic reagents. The attractive features of this protocol are: the ease of preparing substrate and the mild reaction condition under an air atmosphere. Moderate enantioselectivity was observed in preliminary screening studies of chiral ligands. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Reactions between various benzyl alcohols or tert-butyl alcohol and nitriles were carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts (usually 10–20 mol-%) of o-benzenedisulfonimide as a Bronsted acidcatalyst; the reaction conditions were mild and the yields of amides were good. The catalyst was easily recovered and purified, ready to be used in further reactions, with economic and ecological advantages
A metal-free photocatalytic Ritter-type C–H amination of diarylmethanes using O2 as an oxidant has been developed using a co-catalytic system of DDQ and TBN and offers a low cost, sustainable way to synthesise secondary amides under mild conditions.
