RT Journal Article T1 Palladium-Catalyzed Formal (5 + 2) Annulation between ortho-Alkenylanilides and Allenes A1 Cendón Mariño, Borja A1 Casanova González, Noelia A1 Comanescu, Cezar A1 García Fandiño, Rebeca A1 Seoane Fernández, Andrés A1 Gulías Costa, Moisés A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis K1 Palladium-catalyzed K1 Ortho- alkenylanilides K1 Allenes AB 2-Alkenyltriflylanilides react with allenes upon treatment with catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2 and Cu(II) to give highly valuable 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepines, in good yields, and with very high regio- and diastereoselectivities. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the C–H activation of the alkenylanilide involves a classical concerted metalation–deprotonation (CMD) mechanism PB American Chemical Society SN 1523-7060 YR 2017 FD 2017-03-27 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/15444 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/15444 LA eng NO Cendón, B., Casanova, N., Comanescu, C., Garcí­a-Fandiño, R., Seoane, A., Gulías, M. & Mascareñas, J.L. 2017, "Palladium-Catalyzed Formal (5 + 2) Annulation between ortho-Alkenylanilides and Allenes", Organic letters, vol. 19, no. 7, pp. 1674-1677 NO This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Borja Cendón, Noelia Casanova, Cezar Comanescu, Rebeca García-Fandiño, Andrés Seoane, Moisés Gulías* and José L.
