Direct Palladium-Catalyzed β-Arylation of Lactams

Feipeng Liu, Ming Chen, Guangbin Dong
A direct and catalytic method is reported here for β-arylation of N-protected lactams with simple aryl iodides. The transformation is enabled by merging soft enolization of lactams, Pd-catalyzed desaturation, Ar-X bond activation and aryl conjugate addition. The reaction is operated under mild conditions, scalable and chemoselective. Application of this method to concise syntheses of pharmaceutically relevant compounds is demonstrated.
