RESUMO
A Cu(i)-catalyzed cross-coupling of primary amines with 2,2'-dibromo-1,1'-biphenyl for the synthesis of polysubstituted carbazole has been achieved. This protocol provides an efficient strategy for the synthesis of carbazole using cheap copper catalysts with diamine ligand, and it provides convenient access to a series of carbazole derivatives in moderate yields.
RESUMO
A facile and efficient synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-5-spirohexahydropyrimidines via a one-pot condensation of anilines, formaldehyde, and cyclohexanones is reported. In this one-pot, three-component reaction, six molecules of reactants are involved and six new covalent bonds are generated. Bicyclic products are obtained from the starting materials in one pot using readily available starting materials and catalysts.
