One-pot synthesis of β-N-glycosyl imidazole analogues via a palladium-catalysed decarboxylative allylation

Abstract

A concise and highly efficient strategy for the synthesis of N-glycosyl imidazole analogues is reported. This reaction is based on a palladium catalysed decarboxylative allylation and three steps, namely, carbamation, decarboxylation and allylation are involved. All the substrates can afford the desired products with excellent yields and selectivities. © Partner Organisations 2014.
