Abstract

Abstract Image

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-2-arylcyanoacetates based on a Pd(OAc)2/DPPF (DPPF = 1,1‘-diphenylphosphino ferreocene)-catalyzed enolate arylation followed by in situ alkylation has been developed. This procedure tolerates a diverse range of aryl and heteroaryl bromides, and provides a rapid entry to a variety of 2-alkyl-2-arylcyanoacetates in good to excellent yield.

      Palladium complexes incorporating ligands based on a 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,4,8-trioxa-6-phosphaadamantanyl scaffold were used to catalyze the arylation of ethyl cyanoacetate, malononitrile, and various ketones. The products from these reactions can be ...
