Abstract

Under the reaction conditions of Pd(PPh3)4 (2.5 mol %) and PPh3 (10 mol %) in EtOAc at 60 °C, the formal (5 + 6) cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with isatoic anhydrides proceeded smoothly and furnished medium-sized N,O-containing heterocycles in reasonable chemical yields. The chemical structures of the title products were clearly identified by X-ray diffraction analysis.
