Abstract

According to current synthetic requirements, effective and environmentally benign procedures are particularly welcome. Among them, tandem or sequential reactions are especially interesting because they limit the amount of solvent used by reducing the number of costly workups as well as purification procedures and are less time-consuming. 1 In numerous cases, a transition metal catalyst presents in the reaction mixture, is efficient in one of the consecutive steps, but ...
