Palladium(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative O-H/C-H isocyanide insertion: facile access to pyrrolo[2,1- c][1,4]benzoxazine derivatives

Org Biomol Chem. 2021 May 19;19(19):4364-4368. doi: 10.1039/d1ob00393c.

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cyclizations of substituted 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenols with isocyanides via an O-H/C-H insertion cascade have been developed. This strategy provides facile access to pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine derivatives in good to excellent yields under an O2 atmosphere. The notable features of this protocol include its mild reaction conditions, atom-economy, and broad functional group tolerance.
