Ruthenium- and Sulfonamide-Catalyzed Cyclization between N-Sulfonyl Imines and Alkynes
摘要:
Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed redox-neutral annulative coupling of N-sulfonyl imines with alkynes has been achieved for the synthesis of indenamines, where a sulfonamide cocatalyst is necessary.
A cobalt-catalyzed synthesis of 1-aminoindenes via enantioselective [3 + 2] annulation is described. In this reaction, the desired products can be selectively prepared in either (R)- or (S)-form by the ligand-controlled synthesis, which is initiated by the cleavage of C–B, C–Br, or C–O bonds under very mild reaction conditions. In addition, this enantioselective cobalt catalysis provides high regioselectivity
