A palladium-catalyzed three-component [2 + 3 + 1] domino annulation among 3-iodochromones, αbromoacetophenones, and norbornene is presented, affording various chromone-containing polycyclic compounds bearing fused/spiro/bridged-ring systems. For the first time, the 2,2bifunctionalization of norbornene was realized in palladiumcatalyzed domino reaction. This cyclization characterizes three new bonds (two C−C and one C−O) in a single operation and produces nontrivial spiro-norbornane fragments in comparison with a traditional palladium-catalyzed process involving norbornene.
A palladium‐catalyzed [2+2+1] annulation among 3‐iodochromones, benzyl bromides, and norbornene has been developed. This annulation consists of a domino sequence involving Heck coupling/C(sp2)−H activation/C(sp3)−H activation, affording a variety of complex chromone derivatives bearing five contiguous tertiary carbon centers in up to 94% yield and 99:1 dr. Interestingly, the diastereoselectivity could be switched by fine‐tuning the solvent, in which endo isomer and exo isomer were obtained using mesitylene/CH3CN and mesitylene, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
