Palladium-catalyzed regioselective allylation of five-membered heteroarenes with allyltributylstannane†
Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed allylation reactions of 2-(chloromethyl)thiophenes, 2-(chloromethyl)furans, and N-protected 2-(chloromethyl)-1H-pyrroles with allyltributylstannane were described in this study. This type of allylation reaction regioselectively occurred on the heteroarene rings to produce allylated dearomatization products or allylated heteroarenes with satisfactory yields.
