Abstract
Herein, we report a 1,4-Pd migration-enabled intermolecular double C–H annulation between alkene-tethered aryl halides (e.g., 2-iodo-N-methacryloylbenzamides and 2-(2-iodophenyl)-1H-indoles) and 1,n-diynes. This transformation proceeds through a cascade sequence involving Heck cyclization, alkyl-to-aryl 1,4-Pd migration, double alkyne insertion, and C–H activation, enabling the remote construction of structurally diverse heteropolycycles, including tetracyclic fused isoquinolinediones and hexacyclic indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolinones. The method exhibits a broad substrate scope and excellent regioselectivity.
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.
