Tosylhydrazide‐Promoted Palladium‐Catalyzed Reaction of β‐Aminoketones with <i>o</i>‐Dihaloarenes: Combining Organocatalysis and Transition‐Metal Catalysis

Abstract

Working in tandem: Mannich adducts obtained by organocatalyzed processes are readily transformed into phenanthridine and quinoline derivatives by a Pd-catalyzed cascade reaction involving tosylhydrazide (TsNHNH2)-promoted cross-coupling followed by intramolecular amination (see scheme; MW=microwave). The enantioselectivity achieved in the organocatalytic reaction is maintained throughout the process. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
