The direct Pd‐catalyzed oxidative coupling of twoCH‐bonds within N‐aryl‐enamines 1 allows the efficient formation of differently substituted indoles 2. In this cross‐dehydrogenative coupling, many different functional groups are tolerated and the starting material N‐aryl‐enamines 1 can be easily prepared in one step from commercially available anilines. In addition, the whole sequence can also be
novel palladium-catalyzed regioselective oxidative carbonylation of tri-substituted alkenes with CO and alcohols for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters has been developed. Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggested that the reaction proceeded through alkoxylation of the palladium(II) catalyst, CO and CC double bond migratory insertion, β-(N)H elimination and tautomerization cascade steps
A novel and efficient copper-catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization/1,2-amino migration of readily available enamino esters for the synthesis of substituted pyrroles has been developed. In this reaction, one C–N bond was cleaved, and two new C–N bonds and one C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond were constructed in one pot. This catalytic system has the obvious advantages of mild reaction conditions and the use of oxygen
