O(2) in, H(2)O out: Various diamines and related bisnucleophiles readily undergo oxidative isocyanide insertion with Pd(OAc)(2) (1 mol %) as the catalyst and O(2) as the terminal oxidant to give a diverse array of medicinally relevant N heterocycles. The utility of this highly sustainable method is demonstrated by a formal synthesis of the antihistamines astemizole and norastemizole.
O(2) 进,H(2)O 出:各种二胺和相关的双亲核试剂在 Pd(OAc)(2)(1 mol %)作为催化剂和 O(2) 作为末端氧化剂的条件下,很容易发生氧化异氰化物插入反应,生成多种具有医学相关性的 N 杂环。该高度可持续方法的实用性通过抗组胺药阿司咪唑和诺阿司咪唑的正式合成得到了证明。
