Manganese- and cobalt-catalyzed
aminocyclization reactions of unsaturated
hydrazones are reported. Whereas manganese catalysis provides access
to pyrazoline and tetrahydropyridazine alcohols, cobalt catalysis
for the first time paves the way for the selective formation of pyrazoline
aldehydes. Furthermore, various functional groups including hydroperoxide,
thiol derivatives, iodide, and bicyclopentane may be introduced via
manganese-catalyzed ring-forming aminofunctionalization. A progesterone
receptor antagonist was prepared using the aminocyclization protocol.
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.
