Abstract
Practical cyclization and cross-coupling reactions between alkenyl-substituted alkyl bromides and arylzinc pivalates via cobalt-catalyzed sequential C(sp3)–C(sp3)/C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond formation have been disclosed, thus providing straightforward access to structurally diverse pyrrolidinones. Moreover, this approach could be also effective for the modular preparation of spirocyclic pyrrolidinones through spirocyclized alkene alkylarylation. Beyond that, rather mild conditions, synthetic simplicity, and excellent functional group compatibility show the potential applications of this method in synthetic 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.
