Pd(<scp>ii</scp>)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-methyl aromatic ketones with maleimides through weak chelation assisted dual C–H activation
Gouranga Naskar, Masilamani Jeganmohan
Abstract
position. The protocol demonstrates compatibility among diverse substituted aromatic ketones and ester as well as various substituted maleimides. Further derivatization of the tricyclic ketone to an alcohol exhibits the synthetic applicability of the protocol. Also, a plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed.
