- PdII/Novel Chiral Cinchona Alkaloid Oxazoline-Catalyzed Enantioselective Oxidative Cyclization of Aromatic Alkenyl Amides
-
A highly enantioselective PdII-catalyzed aza-Wacker oxidation tandem cyclization of aromatic nitrogen-containing dienes has been achieved in the presence of novel chiral cinchona alkaloid oxazoline ligands for the first time, affording chiral dihydroindole nitrogen-containing polycyclic compounds with good yields (up to 83 %), high diastereoselectivities (> 95:5 dr), and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97 % ee).

- A Convenient Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of (E)-3-Benzylidenechroman-4-ones
-
A convenient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction for the efficient synthesis of (E)-3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones has been developed. Using TFBen as a solid CO source, a range of substituted (E)-3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones were prepared in moderate to good yields with 2-iodophenols and allyl chlorides as the substrates. Additionally, substituted quinolin-4(1H)-ones can also be obtained with 2-iodoaniline as the starting material.

- Selectfluor-mediated mild oxidative halogenation and thiocyanation of 1-aryl-allenes with TMSX (X = Cl, Br, I, NCS) and NH4SCN
-
Presence of TMSX (X = Cl, Br, I) unleashes the oxidative character of Selectfluor and provides a mild dihalogenation method for 1-arylallenes. Preference for 2,3-addition was observed with TMSCl in MeCN irrespective of the nature of the substituent on the aryl moiety, whereas 1,2-addition was preferred in [BMIM][BF4]. With TMSBr and TMSI only products corresponding to 2,3-addition were observed. Reactions carried out with TMSBr in IL solvents gave the corresponding monobromoalkenes as a major product along with the isomeric dibromo-alkenes. Reaction with NH4SCN provided convenient access to dithiocyanate derivatives. The same products were formed via TMS-NCS/Selectfluor. Formation of common products via TMSNCS and NH 4SCN points to the formation and interplay of SCN+/ NCS+ as incipient electrophiles.
