Axial stereocontrol in tropos dibenz[c,e]azepines: the individual and cooperative effects of alkyl substituents

Iron porphyrin-catalysed C(sp3)–H amination with alkyl azides for the synthesis of complex nitrogen-containing compounds

With the readily prepared iron porphyrin complex as a catalyst and starting with alkyl azides, a panel of nitrogen-containing skeletons representing the families of natural alkaloids and bioactive compounds could be prepared in good yields.

4b,5,6,9-Tetrahydro-7H-dibenzo[c,e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepin-7-one

A simple approach to synthesize 4b,5,6,9-tetrahydro-7H-dibenzo[c,e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepin- 7-one has been developed, based on a three-step transformation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)cyclopropane-1,1-diester. The key stage in this method is an intramolecular cross-coupling of 1-(2-bromobenzyl)-5-(2-bromophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one under continuous flow conditions in an H-Сube-Pro using commercially available supported Pd catalysts.

Synthesis of chiral seven-membered cyclic sulfonamides through palladium-catalyzed arylation of cyclic imines

An enantioselective palladium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to seven-membered cyclic N-sulfonyl aldimines and ketimines has been developed, giving the chiral cyclic sulfonamides with excellent yields and up to 99% ee.
