RT Journal Article T1 Tandem Long Distance Chain-Walking/Cyclization via RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3/Brønsted Acid Catalysis: Entry to Aromatic Oxazaheterocycles A1 Bernárdez Alfaya, Rodrigo A1 Suárez Rivero, Jaime A1 Fañanás-Mastral, Martín A1 Varela Carrete, Jesús Ángel A1 Saá Rodríguez, Carlos K1 Hydrocarbons K1 Reactions products K1 Catalysis K1 Isomerization K1 Brönsted-acid K1 Chain walking K1 Ruthenium AB A novel route to 1,3-oxazaheterocycles based on cooperative Ru–H/Brønsted acid catalysis is reported. The use of the commercially available RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 complex allows for an efficient long distance chain-walking process while the Brønsted acid is responsible for generation of an electrophilic iminium ion which is trapped intramolecularly by an alcohol moiety. The alcohol, besides its nucleophilic function, also plays an important role in the stabilization of the Ru catalyst.
