A Tandem Heck-Carbocyclization/Suzuki-Coupling Approach to the Stereoselective Syntheses of Asymmetric 3,3-(Diarylmethylene)indolinones
摘要:
An efficient and versatile method for stereoselective synthesis of (E)-3,3-(diarylmethylene)indolinones by a palladium-catalyzed tandem Heck-carbocyclization/Suzuki-coupling sequence is presented. Factors influencing yield and selectivity, namely catalyst, coordinating ligand, and solvent, are detailed.
