    A Fast Way to Fluorescence: A Fourfold Domino Reaction to Condensed Polycyclic Compounds

    No full text
    A fast and efficient palladium-catalyzed fourfold domino Sonogashira/double-carbopalladation/C-H-activation reaction that converts simple aromatic systems into complex polycyclic hydrocarbons has been developed. A number of substituted products has thus been prepared in yields up to 89 %. The structural assignment has been confirmed by using single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The products show intriguing fluorescence activity and thus might serve as chemical sensors or fluorescent imaging dyes

    Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted Alkenes through a Palladium-Catalyzed Domino Carbopalladation/C-H-Activation Reaction

    No full text
    Helical tetrasubstituted alkenes (7) were obtained in a highly efficient way through a palladium-catalyzed domino-carbopalladation/CH-activation reaction of propargylic alcohols 6 in good to excellent yields. Electron-withdrawing- and electron-donating substituents can be introduced onto the upper and lower aromatic rings. The substrates (6) for the domino process were synthesized by addition of the lithiated alkyne (20) to various aldehydes (19); moreover, the substrates were accessible enantioselectively (in 95?% ee) by reduction of the corresponding ketone using the Noyori procedure

    Palladium-Catalyzed Domino Carbopalladation/C-H Activation for the Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted Alkenes Bearing Five- and Seven-Membered Rings

    A Pd-catalyzed domino carbopalladation/C-H-activation reaction of phenoxyphenyl-substituted propargylic alcohols was used for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes bearing either a dihydroindene or benzo[7] annulene motif. These compounds are of interest for the construction of molecular switches and motors

    A facile synthesis of 3-substituted benzofurans and indoles through a palladiumcatalyzed domino carbopalladation/CH-activation/isomerization process

    Novel benzofurans 7 and indoles 8 have been prepared from 3 and 4 by a Pd-catalyzed mono-component three-fold domino carbopalladation/CH-activation/isomerization process and from 12 and 5 to give 8 by a two-component fourfold domino Sonogashira/carbopalladation/CH-activation/isomerization process

    Synthesis and Photochemical Investigations of Tetrasubstituted Alkenes as Molecular Switches-The Effect of Substituents

    No full text
    Molecular switches based on helical tetrasubstituted alkenes, substituted with either electron-withdrawing (CF(3), F, CN; 2a-c, 3a, c) or -donating substituents (Me, OMe; 2d, e), have been synthesized from acyclic precursors 4 and 5 in a domino carbopalladation/Stille reaction. This palladium-catalyzed process allowed the rapid assembly of two C-C bonds, two six-membered rings, and the tetrasubstituted double bond in a completely diastereoselective fashion. The electronic effects of the substituents on the overall switching process were investigated by alternating irradiation of two different wavelength regions. Although the substituents had only a small influence on the absorption maxima, drastic differences in the switching behavior were observed
