A novel palladium-catalyzed highly selective hydrocarbonylative cycloaddition reaction with two different alkenes in the presence of CO enabled by a reactive directing-group is developed, which offers efficient and convenient access to lactone-containing bridged polycyclic compounds in high yield with high chemo- and stereoselectivities.
An entry from the Cambridge Structural Database, the world’s repository for small molecule crystal structures. The entry contains experimental data from a crystal diffraction study. The deposited dataset for this entry is freely available from the CCDC and typically includes 3D coordinates, cell parameters, space group, experimental conditions and quality measures.
The radical/palladium relay catalysis for C–H bonds carbonylation is an attractive research topic in synthetic chemistry. It can rapidly prepare carbonylated molecules for synthetic or pharmaceutical applications from highly sought-after feedstocks, such as alkylarenes, alkanes, alkenes or ethers. The main objective of this Synpacts article is to summarize the development of this research area, mainly focusing on radical/palladium relay catalysis for the carbonylation of single and double C-H bonds.
A rapid construction of THIQs by a Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp2)–H olefination of free primary and secondary 2-phenylethylamines with high step- and atom-economy was reported. Notably, no substituent was required at the α-position to the amino group of the 2-phenylethylamines. The substrate scope was broad, and the reaction could also be applied to generate THIQs from the biologically active molecules such as the drug molecule baclofen and phenylalanine ester.
