Article Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond activation-initiated reaction of 2-(3-phenyloxiran-2-yl)benzonitriles with arylboronic acids is reported. Multiple chemical bonds were cleavaged and reconstructed via β-carbon elimination in this reaction, enabling the construction of valuable benzo-fused dipyrromethenes that are difficult to prepare by other methods. Additionally, a series of benzannulated boron dipyrromethenes are synthesized and show practical significance in terms of expanding the applications and types of fluorescent materials. The proposed mechanism is supported by preliminary mechanistic experiments.

In this study, we describe a direct palladium-catalyzed tandem β-C(sp)-H olefination/lactonization strategy for the one-step synthesis of γ-alkylidene lactones. The reaction is enabled by an -acyl sulfonamide ligand and utilizes readily available and inexpensive carboxylic acids and styrenes as coupling partners, enabling the efficient construction of structurally diverse γ-alkylidene lactones through the consecutive functionalization of three C-H bonds. Notable highlights include excellent functional group tolerance and derivatization of the resulting γ-alkylidene lactones to obtain various synthetically useful motifs.

1-Indanones represent a significant class of organic compounds commonly found in many bioactive and functional materials. In this work, we reported an efficient method for their preparation. Mediated by a palladium catalyst, -vinyl benzoic acids could undergo reductive cyclization in the presence of readily available formic acid, producing the corresponding 1-indanones in good to high yields.
