Palladium-Catalyzed Benzodiazepines Synthesis

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of N-aryl carbamates.

An efficient synthesis of aryl carbamates was achieved by introducing alcohols into the reaction of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of ArX (X = Cl, OTf) with sodium cyanate. The use of aryl triflates as electrophilic components in this transformation allowed for an expanded substrate scope for direct synthesis of aryl isocyanates. This methodology provides direct access to major carbamate pr...

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of N-tert-prenylindoles.

Palladium-catalyzed N-tert-prenylations of indoles, tricarbonylchromium-activated indoles, and indolines that occur in high yields (up to 94%) with high tert-prenyl-to-n-prenyl selectivity (up to 12:1) are reported.

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of allylic fluorides.

The enantioselective fluorination of readily available cyclic allylic chlorides with AgF has been accomplished using a Pd(0) catalyst and Trost bisphosphine ligand. The reactions proceed with unprecedented ease of operation for Pd-mediated nucleophilic fluorination, allowing access to highly enantioenriched cyclic allylic fluorides that bear diverse functional groups. Evidence that supports a m...

Palladium-catalyzed dicarbonylative synthesis of tetracycle quinazolinones.

An interesting procedure for the synthesis of isoindolo[1,2-b]quinazolin-10(12H)-ones has been developed. Starting from commercially available 2-bromoanilines and 2-bromobenzyl amines, with the assistance of a palladium catalyst, the desired products were isolated in good yields. Notably, this procedure proceeded in a highly selective manner; two molecules of CO were incorporated into the subst...
