Published: April 2013

Isoindolines are synthesized by palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of N-(2-iodobenzyl) anilines with α,β-unsaturated N-tosylhydrazones. The reaction has several potential advantages: (1) toleration of a wide range of functional groups, (2) easy to handle and with mild conditions, (3) enriches the isoindoline family, (4) two new bonds form in one step.

An unprecedented Pd-catalyzed cascade alkyne insertion/Heck/C-H activation reaction of -iodophenyl alkenyl ethers and diarylacetylenes has been developed. Diversified tetracyclic-fused dihydroindeno[2,1-]chromenes bearing a quaternary center were constructed in an efficient, straightforward, and atom-economic way with good to excellent yields. The protocol features high bonding efficiency, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and easy scale-up.

Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Sonogashira Coupling of Aliphatic Alkynes and Aryl Thianthrenium Salts to Alkynones and Furanones.

Herein, we developed a mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Sonogashira coupling of aryl thianthrenium salts with aliphatic alkynes and benzyl acetylene toward alkynones and furanones. Various desired products were prepared in good yields with broad functional group tolerance including the bromide group. In the case of using benzyl acetylene, the corresponding furanones can be obtained in good yields under the same conditions with two molecules of CO inserted.

DFT calculations have been performed to gain insight into the mechanism of hydrocarbonylation of olefins and the origin of regio- and chemoselectivity. It is shown that the most feasible mechanism involves five steps: (i) decomposition of acetic formic anhydride, (ii) hydropalladation of olefins, (iii) CO migratory insertion, (iv) iodide-assisted acetate-formate exchange, and (v) formylation or carboxylation. Importantly, carboxylation proceeds via the decomposition of anhydride, followed by reductive elimination instead of direct hydrolysis of anhydride.

Article Synopsis
  • The manuscript presents a novel palladium-catalyzed cyclization method using carboxylic acids and terminal alkynes, which showcases its potential for creating complex organic molecules.
  • This technique is significant as it allows carboxylic acids, traditionally underutilized, to serve as effective building blocks in intramolecular cycloaddition and addresses long-standing challenges in synthesizing substituted naphthalenes.
  • The reaction demonstrates a wide range of substrate compatibility and functional group tolerance, making it applicable for scalable synthesis in organic chemistry, drug discovery, and material science.

In this report, we describe a simple method for the synthesis of 2-aryl-2-vinyl-cyclobutanones through the reaction of in situ generated cyclopropanones and cinnamylsulfonium ylides, representing an example of a formal carbene insertion into these three-membered rings. The cyclobutanones thus obtained are ideal substrates for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions upon enol triflate formation, thereby providing access to densely functionalized cyclobutenes. A mechanistic proposal for the ring-enlargement is presented based on experimental evidence.
