A regioselective synthesis of 3-benzazepinones via intramolecular hydroamidation of acetylenes
摘要:
Synthesis of 3-benzazepinones by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular addition of amides to alkynes is achieved. Phenyl acetylenes substituted in the ortho-position with tethered amide functionality were prepared in a few steps from readily available starting materials. It was found that 5% Pd(OAc)(2)(PPh3)(2) and KOH most effectively promoted cyclization. When the tethered group is an acetamide and an alkyl substituent is on the acetylene unit, regioselective 3-benzazepinone synthesis could be achieved in good yields. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
