Divergent Multicomponent Tandem Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation-Cyclization Approaches to Functionalized Imidazothiazinones and Imidazothiazoles
fashion into functionalized imidazothiazinones. This transformation occurred through a new auto‐tandem catalysis process that involves two concatenated catalytic cycles both catalyzed by PdI2: oxidative aminocarbonylation of the terminal triple bond/cyclocarbonylation. However, in the presence of an excess of secondary amine, 4,5‐disubstituted substrates led selectively to functionalized imidazothiazoles
