Synthesis of Imidazoles and Oxazoles via a Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Addition/Cyclization Reaction Sequence of Aromatic Carboxylic Acids with Functionalized Aliphatic Nitriles
efficient approach for the assembly of multiply substituted imidazoles and oxazoles in a single-step manner. These transformations are based on a decarboxylation addition and annulation of readily accessible aromatic carboxylic acids and aliphatic nitriles and exhibit good functional group compatibility and a high step economy. The reaction is scalable, and as-prepared products could be transformed into practical

A practical and flexible intermolecular protocol for the diverse synthesis of trisubstituted oxazole derivatives via a Pd-catalyzed direct C–H addition of electronic-rich heteroarenes to O-acyl cyanohydrins bearing an α-hydrogen/cyclization sequence is described. A wide range of trisubstituted oxazoles can be prepared from readily available starting materials in good to high yields with high efficiency
A palladium‐catalyzed tandem reaction of cyanomethyl benzoates with arylboronic acids has been achieved. Substitution at the 2‐position of cyanomethyl benzoates was found to be crucial for the selective synthesis of oxazoles and isocoumarins. Cyanomethyl benzoates afforded 2,4‐diaryloxazoles as products, while 2‐benzoyl‐substituted cyanomethyl benzoates delivered 3‐benzoyl‐4‐aryl‐isocoumarins selectively
readily available simple arenes and functionalized aliphatic nitriles. This transformation involves palladium-catalyzed C–H activation, carbopalladation and a tandem annulation sequence in one pot. Notably, the reaction proceeds efficiently under redox-neutral conditions, and exhibits high atom-economy. Deuterium-labeling experiments suggested that C–H bond cleavage of the simple arenes might be the rate-determining
Pd(II)-catalyzed addition of sp2 C–H to nitrile/aerobic oxidation sequences for the preparation of functionalized α-imino ketones is described in which readily available heteroarenes and O-acyl cyanohydrins were employed. Various functionalized targeted molecules can be prepared in good yields with high atom and step economy. Moreover, a broad substrate scope and the ready manipulation and availability
