Palladium-catalyzed domino intramolecular N-arylation/intermolecular C-C bond formation for the synthesis of functionalized benzodiazepinediones.
Résumé
A divergent and regiocontrolled Pd-catalyzed domino sequence involving an intramolecular N-arylation and an intermolecular Heck reaction has been developed, providing rapid access to functionalized benzodiazepine-2,5-diones 3. The starting materials were synthesized by the Ugi four-component reaction. An unprecedented X-ray structure of bispalladacycle 6 was documented.
