Pd(II)-catalyzed intramolecular aminopalladation/direct C–H arylation under aerobic conditions: synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles
摘要:
Heating a DMA/pivalic acid (v/v=4/1) solution of diversely substituted 6-(phenylamino)hex-2-ynoates in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)(2) under oxygen atmosphere afforded pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles in moderate to good yields. A domino sequence involving intramolecular aminopalladation followed by C-H activation and reductive elimination was proposed to account for the observed bis-cyclization. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
