Construction of oxygenated 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes via palladium-catalyzed 1,2-aminoacyloxylation of cyclopentenes

Abstract

Herein, we describe a palladium-catalyzed 1,2-aminoacyloxylation of cyclopentenes to synthesize oxygenated 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes. This reaction proceeds efficiently with a broad array of substrates. The products could be further functionalized to build up a library of bridged aza-bicyclic structures.
