A synthetic strategy of a palladium-catalyzed cascade annulation reaction followed by aerial oxidation was designed to construct 6H-benzo[c]chromene scaffolds. Various 6H-benzo[c]chromenes were synthesized under mild conditions using easily accessible p-QMs and commercially available o-hydroxyarylboronic acids. One the chromenes has been ambiguously confirmed single-crystal XRD analysis. Interestingly, our could be transformed into valuable 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones via oxidation.
The synthesis and characterization of a pincer-nickel complex the type (iPr2NNN)NiCl2(CH3CN) is reported here. We have demonstrated utility this (0.02 0.002 mol %) for catalytic N-alkylation amines using various alcohols. Under solvent-free conditions, while highest yield (ca. 90%) was obtained alkylation 2-aminopyridine with naphthyl-1-methanol, excellent turnovers (34000 TONs) were observed 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol.
