Abstract
Herein a novel and robust methodology to spiroimidazolidinones has been developed under a mild reaction. The reaction of (Z)-2-azido-3-phenylacrylic acids 1, aldehydes 2, amines 3, isocyanides 4, and isocyanides 6 produced regioselectively spiroimidazolidinones in 71–88% yields via a sequential Ugi 4CR/Pd(0) catalyzed azide-isocyanide coupling/cyclization/rearrangement/hydroxylation reaction. Furthermore, the easily accessible starting materials, high bond-forming efficiency, and broad substituent tolerance make this strategy useful in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.
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.
