A straightforward synthesis of α-substituted acrylonitriles is described using 4-cyano-3-oxotetrahydro-thiophene (c-THT) as an acrylonitrile surrogate. This unprecedented two-step sequence featuring a palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation (Pd-AA) and a retro-Dieckmann fragmentation provides a general entry into diversely substituted 1,4-dienes.
本文描述了一种使用 4-氰基-3-氧代四氢噻吩(c-THT)作为丙烯腈替代物的α-取代丙烯腈的直接合成方法。该方法具有前所未有的两步序列,包括钯催化的烯丙基烷基化(Pd-AA)和反-Dieckmann 碎裂,为各种取代的 1,4-二烯提供了一般的合成途径。
