Abstract

The scope of the palladium-catalyzed carboamination reaction for the synthesis of 2-substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, and morpholines was investigated. Formation of a 2,4-disubstituted pyrrolidine proceeded in high yield but with a diastereoisomeric ratio of only 2:5, favoring the cis-isomer. The diastereoselectivity is hence significantly smaller than that observed previously in the formation of 2,3- and 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines. The yields of substituted piperidines and morpholines were lowered by competing Heck arylation reactions. Both the N-substituent and the choice of phosphine ligand for the palladium-catalyzed reaction were determining for the outcome. The scope of the palladium-catalyzed carboamination reaction for the synthesis of 2-substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, and morpholines was investigated.
