cobalt(III)-catalyzed, redox-neutral, intermolecular carboamination of propiolates and bicyclic alkenes was developed. This non-annulative coupling strategy features atom economy, high regioselectivity, good yields, and functional groups tolerance. Such a carboamination reaction was applied to modified phenolsfrom the corresponding phenols under mild conditions.
Herein, a cascade [3 + 2] annulation of N-aryloxyacetamides with 3-(hetero)arylpropiolic acids affording benzofuran-2(3H)-ones via rhodium(iii)-catalyzed redox-neutral C-H functionalization/isomerization/lactonization using an internal oxidative directing group O-NHAc was achieved. This catalytic system provides a regio- and stereoselective approach to synthesize (Z)-3-(amino(aryl)methylene)benzofuran-2(3H)-ones
Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Redox-Neutral Cascade [3 + 2] Annulation of <i>N</i>-Phenoxyacetamides with Propiolates via C–H Functionalization/Isomerization/Lactonization
A Rh(III)-catalyzed cascade [3 + 2] annulation of N-phenoxyacetamides with propiolates under mild conditions using the internal oxidative O–N bond as the directing group has been achieved. This catalytic system provides a regio- and stereoselective access to benzofuran-2(3H)-ones bearing exocyclic enamino motifs with exclusive Z configuration selectivity, acceptable to good yields and good functional
Dual Directing-Groups-Assisted Redox-Neutral Annulation and Ring Opening of <i>N</i>-Aryloxyacetamides with 1-Alkynylcyclobutanols via Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C–H/C–C Activations
A cascade [3 + 2] annulation and ringopening of N-aryloxyacetamides with 1-alkynylcyclobutanols via Rh(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral C–H/C–C activations using internal oxidative O–NHAc and −OH as the dual directing groups has been achieved. This reaction provided an efficient and regioselective approach to benzofuran derivatives with good functional group compatibility and high yields.
diazo compounds via a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation, and the resulting Rh(III) intermediate subsequently undergoes an intramolecular oxidative addition into the O-N bond to form a Rh(V) nitrenoid species that is protonated and further directed toward electrophilic addition to the second ortho position of the phenyl ring. This work might provide a new direction for unsymmetrical C-H difunctionalization
