Abstract
A one-pot stereodivergent strategy for synthesizing E- and Z-vinylated oxindoles has been developed using a Pd-based tandem catalysis and Pd/Ir relay catalysis. The Pd(0)-catalyzed tandem sequence features a cyclization/C(sp3)–H activation/intermolecular Heck coupling to afford the E-isomer in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Integration of this transformation with an Ir-based energy-transfer process in a relay-catalytic mode enables access to the geometrically challenging Z-isomer. The broad substrate scope, late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules, and synthetic derivatization highlight the method’s utility.
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.
