Abstract

The coupling-isomerization reaction is an unusual outcome of the Sonogashira coupling of propargyl alcohols, N-tosylamines, or ethers with preferentially electron-deficient (hetero)aryl halides. As a result, chalcones, enimines and allenyl ethers are generated in situ. The former two are readily transformed into heterocycles in consecutive cyclization and cyclocondensations in a one-pot fashion, whereas the latter are excellent entries into pericyclic domino processes for the rapid construction of complex polycyclic scaffolds.
