Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Naphthols via C-H Activation of Sulfoxonium Ylides.
Published in Organic Letters
Direct and efficient synthesis of 1-naphthols has been realized via Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation of sulfoxonium ylides and subsequent annulation with alkynes, where the sulfoxonium ylide functioned as a new traceless bifunctional directing group. This reaction occurred under redox-neutral conditions with a broad substrate scope.
Iridium(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Benzimidazoles via C-H Activation and Amidation of Aniline Derivatives.
Published in Organic Letters
Ir(III)-catalyzed synthesis of benzimidazoles has been realized under redox-neutral conditions by annulation of aniline derivatives with dioxazolones. The reaction proceeded via a C-H activation-amidation-cyclization pathway with a decent substrate scope.
