Abstract
The development of efficient catalytic systems for 1,2-difunctionalization of alkynes remains a challenge due to limitations in substrate scope, selectivity, and step economy. Herein, we report a novel palladium/rhodium catalytic system for the four-component difunctionalization of alkynes, which enables concurrent incorporation of ester and selenyl groups with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. This protocol utilizes readily available alkynes, phenols, carbon monoxide, and selenium reagents to construct β-selenyl acrylates in a single operation, demonstrating broad functional group tolerance and scalability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
