Abstract
Herein, a one-pot domino catalyzed three-component process is described, which is initiated by a palladium/zinc cooperatively catalyzed cycloaddition between trimethylenemethane (TMM) and unactivated alkyl/aryl imines, followed by one-pot isomerization and Zn(OTf)2-catalyzed DDQ oxidation, furnishing valuable substituted pyrroles. We disclose that the palladium/zinc cooperative catalysis affords a dual-Zn(OTf)2-stabilized azapalladacycle, wherein the Pd–N bond is polarized by Zn(OTf)2, facilitating a unique outer-sphere allylic amination. Moreover, subsequent DDQ dehydrogenation can be feasibly promoted by zinc catalysis.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
