Synthesis of polycyclic substituted vinylarenes via a one-pot intramolecular aryl alkylation–N-tosylhydrazone insertion reaction†
Abstract
A novel method of a palladium-catalyzed/norbornene-mediated intramolecular C–H activation/N-tosylhydrazones insertion reaction is developed. In this process, various bicyclic or tricyclic substituted vinylarenes are obtained with high efficiency under mild conditions.
