Abstract

A robust allylic palladium–NHC complex was developed and exhibited extremely high catalytic activity toward aminocarbonylation of various (hetero) aryl iodides under atmospheric carbon monoxide pressure, in which a broad range of secondary and primary amines were well tolerated. In addition, the concise synthesis of an anticancer drug tamibarotene was accomplished even in a gram scale, further highlighting the practical ...
