ChemInform Abstract: Pd(OAc)2-Catalyzed Domino Reactions of 1,2-Dihaloarenes and 2-Haloaryl Arenesulfonates with Grignard Reagents: Efficient Synthesis of Substituted Fluorenes.
Terpenoids 1 and 2 have been synthesized from readily available starting materials using Li2CuCI4-catalysed coupling of Grignard reagents with alkyl/aryl bromides and microwave-assisted oxidation of allylic methyl groups, using SeO2/ButOOH adsorbed over SiO2 as key steps.
One-pot, atom-economical, catalyst-free and tri-component domino reactions are applied to diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of disubstituted piperazine derivatives under mild conditions with moderate to high yields.
