Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade sp(2) C-H Bond Functionalizations Allowing One-Pot Access to 4-Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines from N-Allyl-N-arylsulfonamides

摘要

We have developed a palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction allowing an efficient synthesis of 4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines from N-allyl-N-arylsulfonamides and benzenesulfonyl chlorides. In this transformation, two C(sp(2))-C(sp(3)) bonds were formed via activation of C(sp(2))-H bonds. The reaction proceeds using the easily accessible catalyst PdCl2, with Li2CO3 as inexpensive base and CuBr as additive, and tolerates a wide variety of substituents on both reaction partners.
