Abstract

Abstract A novel multicomponent cascade process is reported, based on the sequential combination between an initial nucleophilic attack step to an imine moiety and a palladium- catalyzed oxidative heterocyclization-alkoxycarbonylation process. By this new process, five simple molecules [2-alkynylaniline imines, alcohol (ROH), carbon monoxide (CO), alcohol (ROH), and oxygen (O 2)] are sequentially activated, selectively leading to high value- ...
