Synthesis of pyridopyrimidines by palladium-catalyzed isocyanide insertion Universiteit Antwerpen
A new synthetic approach to 4-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines and 4-aminopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines based on palladium-catalyzed reaction of isocyanides with readily available N-(bromopyridyl)amidines is reported. The target heterocycles were obtained in generally good to excellent yield. For the two regioisomeric pyrimidopyrimidines, we compared our approach involving oxidative addition with the analogous CH activation protocol because both methods ...
