Cyclization–Carbonylation–Cyclization Coupling Reactions of N-Propargylanilines and o-Alkynylphenols with Palladium(II)–Bisoxazoline Catalysts

Abstract

Cyclization–carbonylation–cyclization coupling reactions (CCC-coupling reactions) of N-propargylanilines and o-alkynylphenols catalyzed by (box)Pd(II) complexes afforded symmetrical bis(quinolin-3-yl) and bis(benzofuran-3-yl) ketones, respectively, in moderate to excellent yields.

Key words

palladium - tandem reaction - carbonylation - alkynes - dimerization
