Substrate-Controlled Pd-Catalyzed Divergent Decarboxylative Cycloaddition of Vinyloxazolidine-2,4-Diones with Azadienes for the Construction of Spirocycles and Medium-Sized Heterocycles
Herein, we report a substrate-controlled palladium-catalyzed divergent decarboxylative cycloaddition of vinyloxazolidine-2,4-diones with azadienes. The reaction of benzofuran-derived azadienes undergoes a decarboxylative (3+2) cycloaddition process to access spiro[benzofuran-butyrolactam] derivatives in good yields with acceptable diastereoselectivities. In contrast, the reaction of benzothiophene-based azadienes proceeds a decarboxylative (5+4) cycloaddition pathway to give benzothieno[1,2-d]diazonin-5-ones in moderate to high yields. Gram-scale synthesis and further transformations demonstrated the potential synthetic utility of the developed protocol.
