Solvent free one-pot multi-component synthesis of β-azaarene substituted ketones via a Sn-catalyzed C(sp3)–H functionalization of 2-alkylazaarenes
A tin-catalyzed solvent free one-pot multi-component cascade reaction strategy for the efficient synthesis of β-azaarene substituted ketones via an aldol–Michael addition/C(sp3)–H functionalization of 2-alkylazaarenes has been developed.
