Palladium-Catalyzed suzuki−Miyaura cross-Coupling of amides via site-Selective n−C bond cleavage by cooperative catalysis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling of primary benzamides enabled by a merger of site-selective N,N-di-Boc-activation and cooperative catalysis via N−C bond cleavage for the synthesis of biaryl ketones is reported. We present the synergistic combination of Lewis base and palladium catalysis as a concept to activate inert amide N−C bonds. The mild reaction conditions provide a direct route to structurally diverse ketones. The reaction tolerates a wide range of electrophilic functional groups. Considering the fundamental importance of primary amides as pharmaceutical and synthetic intermediates, the strategy has a potential for developing a diverse array of valuable amide N−C bond functionalization reactions by the synergistic merger of Lewis base and organometallic catalysis.
