This method allows for the high-yielding and highly selective synthesis of 2-methyl-3-methyleneindoline using the (R,R)-BenzP* ligand and Pd catalysis. Mechanistic studies indicate the formation of palladacyclobutane as a key intermediate, with beta-hydride elimination providing a new reaction pathway.
A Pd-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of 2-methyl-3-methyleneindoline in up to 89% yield and 84% ee from racemic vinyl benzoxazinanones has been developed with the help of (R,R)-BenzP* ligand. Mechanism studies support the formation of palladacyclobutane as the key intermediate via C2 attack to pi-allyl Pd complex. The beta-hydride elimination provides a new reaction pathway for the palladacyclobutane. (C) 2020 Chinese Chemical Society and Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
