Herein we report the one‐pot dual‐metal catalytic synthesis of arylallylamines, by combination of a Cu‐catalyzed hydroboration with a Pd‐catalyzed Suzuki arylation, using a broad range of aryl halides. Importantly, the reaction sequence was entirely performed in water, in the presence of small amounts of SPGS‐550M, without the need of solvent switch or addition of organic co‐solvents, rendering it operationally simple and environmentally benign. The usefulness of this methodology was highlighted in a short synthesis of the pharmaceutically important compound naftifine.magnified image
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.
