Sulfoxonium Ylides as Carbene Precursors: Rhodium(III)‐Catalyzed Sequential C−H Functionalization, Selective Enol Oxygen‐Atom Nucleophilic Addition, and Hydrolysis

Abstract

Abstract Herein, we report a protocol for Rh(III)‐catalyzed annulation reactions between oxazolines and sulfoxonium ylides via a sequence involving C−H activation, selective enol oxygen‐atom nucleophilic addition, and hydrolysis. This practical, operationally simple protocol has a wide substrate range, excellent regioselectivity, and moderate to good yields. magnified image
