Two-step one-pot transformation of primary halides into the corresponding nitriles is successfully achieved under mild conditions. In this protocol, acetone functions as both a solvent and a hydrogen acceptor.
The palladium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 2,3-deoxy-3-keto aryl C-glycosides is achieved from glycals and anilines in the presence of tert-butyl nitrite and aqueous HBF4 under mild conditions. This one-pot method stereospecifically provides α- and β-aryl glycosides (≥19:1 by NMR) in good yields at room temperature. The configuration at the C-3 position in the glycal determines the anomeric selectivity (i.e., α or β) of the desired products.
Under very mild conditions, functionalized benzoxaborole derivatives were prepared in good to excellent yields via a palladium-catalyzed Miyaura borylation reaction of readily available unprotected o-bromobenzylalcohols, and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) without the assistance of an acid.
Palladium-catalyzed 2-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one formation from readily available o-nitrobenzamides and alcohols using hydrogen transfer is described. Various quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were obtained in good to high yields.
