Abstract
A photochemical approach enabling mild amide synthesis from aryl iodides, carbon monoxide, and nitroarenes at 25 °C under 1 atm of CO is disclosed. Under a PdCl2/Xantphos–FeCl3 catalyst in N-methylpyrrolidone, broad functional group tolerance is observed. Mechanistic studies reveal that nitroarenes form a base-activated N-methylpyrrolidone-bound adduct, which generates an aniline-like intermediate that couples with the acyl–palladium complex to deliver the desired amides.
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.
