An efficient protocol for the synthesis of nicotinate derivatives and tetrasubstituted pyridines through a copper-mediated cleavage of isoxazoles has been developed. The highlight of the work is the observation of an unusual reactivity of 4-vinyl isoxazoles under the reaction conditions. DMSO serves as a one-carbon surrogate generating an active methylene group during the reaction to form two C-C bonds. This protocol provides a facile and an expeditious approach for the assembly of densely substituted N-heterocyclic compounds.
Catalyst control in positional-selective C-H alkenylation of isoxazoles and a ruthenium-mediated assembly of trisubstituted pyrroles

High levels of catalyst control are demonstrated in determining the positional selectivity in C-H alkenylation of isoxazoles. A cationic rhodium-mediated, strong-directing group promotes C(sp2)-H activation at the proximal aryl ring whereas, the palladium-mediated electrophilic metallation leads to the C(sp2)-H activation at the distal position of the directing group. Synthetic elaboration of this C-H alkenylation product via ruthenium and copper co-catalysis leads to an efficient method for the assembly of densely substituted pyrroles.
