The first example of the palladium-catalyzed tandem addition/cyclization of 2-(benzylidenamino)benzonitriles with arylboronic acids has been developed. This transformation features good functional group tolerance and provides an alternative synthetic pathway to access 2,4-diarylquinazolines in moderate to good yields. A plausible mechanism for the formation of 2,4-diarylquinazolines involving sequential nucleophilic addition followed by an intramolecular cyclization is proposed.

Cross-coupling between substrates that can be easily derived from phenols is highly attractive due to the abundance and low cost of phenols. Here, we report a dual nickel/palladium-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between aryl tosylates and aryl triflates; both substrates can be accessed in just one step from readily available phenols. The reaction has a broad functional group tolerance and substrate scope (>60 examples). Furthermore, it displays low sensitivity to steric effects demonstrated by the synthesis of a 2,2’disubstituted biaryl and a fully substituted aryl product. The widespread presence of phenols in natural products and pharmaceuticals allow for straightforward late-stage functionalization, illustrated with examples such as Ezetimibe and tyrosine. NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations indicate that the nickel catalyst is responsible for activating the aryl triflate, while the palladium catalyst preferentially reacts with the aryl tosylate.

The jadomycin family of natural products was first identified and characterized by Vining and co-workers at Dalhousie University in the 1990s. Herein, we report findings from a recently developed co-amino acid supplementation culture method with S. venezuelae ISP5230 using 8-aminooctanoic acid, where the major natural product was a jadomycin variant omitting an E-ring (1). These results reinforce that the 3a position is susceptible to nucleophilic addition by cellular metabolites in jadomycin biosynthesis when intramolecular cyclization is unfavorable. Further, the cytotoxicity data for several unsubstituted E-ring jadomycins are reported and discussed.
