“…MBH adducts contain the structural moieties of allylic alcohols or amines, Michael acceptors, and electron-withdrawing groups, which makes them valuable substrates for various types of reactions such as Michael addition, allylic substitution, cycloaddition reaction, Friedel-Crafts reaction, Claisen rearrangement, etc. [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. Based on our previous studies of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, Michael addition of azomethine ylides and azomethine imines and palladium-catalyzed tandem reaction to construct 3,3-disubstituted indolinones [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ], herein we report the mono-/diallylation of isatin N , N ′-cyclic azomethine imines from the condensation of isatin and pyrazolidones with MBH carbonates.…”
