RESUMO
An iron-catalyzed radical cascade cyclization of oxime esters with isocyanides for the synthesis of 1-cyanoalkyl isoquinolines and 6-cyanoalkyl phenanthridines has been developed. This demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope. A diverse range of potentially valuable 1-cyanoalkyl isoquinolines and 6-cyanoalkyl phenanthridines were obtained in moderate to good yields.
RESUMO
A novel strategy in which palladium(II)-catalyzed tandem cyclization is used to obtain N-heterocyclic architectures containing a seven-membered ring has been developed and used to synthesize a series of derivatives. The reaction uses an eco-friendly mixed solvent (water : EtOH = 2 : 1) instead of DMSO and maintains a high yield (91%). Its potential application value and reaction mechanism have also been explored.
