Palladium-catalyzed cyclizative cross coupling of ynone oximes with 2-haloaryl N-acrylamides for isoxazolyl indoline bis-heterocycles

Accessing Furan-Linked Methylene Oxindoles/Benzofurans via Stereoselective Palladium-Catalyzed Domino Cyclization/Cycloisomerization

A palladium-catalyzed domino cyclization/cycloisomerization reaction of alkyne-tethered carbamoyl chlorides with (E)-β-chloroenones is reported. This reaction proceeds via a syn-carbopalladation of the alkyne, followed by a vinyl-PdII-catalyzed cycloisomerization of the (E)-β-chloroenone cascade, which provides an efficient method to synthesize furan-linked methylene oxindoles. The reaction features stereodefined vinyl-PdII species, high to excellent 5-exo/6-endo selectivity, excellent Z/E selectivity, and the sequential formation of three bonds and bis-heterocycles. The strategy for the synthesis of furan-containing benzofurans has also been demonstrated.

Palladium-Catalyzed Carbohalogenation of Olefins with Alkynyl Oxime Ethers: Rapid Access to Chlorine-Containing Isoxazoles

A palladium-catalyzed carbohalogenation of olefins with alkynyl oxime ethers has been described, which provides efficient and practical access to various chlorine-containing isoxazoles. This method exhibits excellent regioselectivity, good functional group compatibility, and mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via a stabilized π-benzyl palladium intermediate, which is essential for the formation of C(sp3)-Cl bonds.

Pd-Catalyzed Sequential Electrophilic Cyclization/Selective C-H Annulation Cascade: Synthesis of Isoxazole-Phthalimide-Fused Poly-Heterocyclics

Harnessing the organo-palladium intermediates generated from electrophilic cyclizations for tandem C-C bond construction is a challenging task but constitutes an excellent tool for constructing complex motifs from simpler substrates. We realize herein such a cyclative annulation of alkynyl-oxime ethers with maleimides for the facile construction of isoxazole-phthalimide hybrid motifs through Pd(II) catalysis. This protocol features excellent regio-selectivity in C-H selection, a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and scalability. Necessary KIE & labeling studies give insight into the reaction mechanism.

Palladium-Catalyzed Cyclization/Alkenylation of Ynone Oximes with Vinylsilanes for the Assembly of Isoxazolyl Vinylsilanes

A palladium-catalyzed cascade cyclization/alkenylation for the assembly of synthetically valuable isoxazolyl vinylsilane derivative has been accomplished. Easily accessible ynone oximes, and available vinylsilane agents were used as the reaction starting materials This protocol features broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and good step- and atom-economy. Remarkably, this approach provides a new approach for the construction of structurally diverse isoxazolyl-containing vinylsilanes with high molecular complexity, showing a promising application in synthetic and pharmaceutical chemistry.
