Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of unprotected ortho-bromoanilines with benzyl, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and heteroaromatic boronic esters†
Abstract
A Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was developed on unprotected ortho-bromoanilines. This operationally simple reaction was developed for the diversification of glucocorticoid receptor modulators (GRMs), showed compatibility to various boronic esters featuring unique functionalities, and was demonstrated on a gram scale.
