Domino Carbopalladation/CH Functionalization Sequence: An Expedient Synthesis of Bis‐Heteroaryls through Transient Alkyl/Vinyl–Palladium Species Capture

Abstract

A microwave-assisted highly efficient intermolecular domino carbopalladation/C-H functionalization sequence has been developed to access bis-heteroaryl frameworks in a single operation. The reaction involves carbopalladation of the halogenated acrylamides or phenylpropiolamides by the Pd(0) catalysis, followed by the direct (hetero)arylation to give products with good to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of this method was also extended towards the application of the Ugi-adduct as the starting material.
