Abstract

The Pd(II)-catalyzed sp 3C-H bond benzoxylation of N -phthaloylalanine derivatives possessing an 8-aminoquinolyl group as a directing group with aldehydes under ambient conditions is reported. When a solution of an alanine derivative and an aldehyde in a toluene/water co-solvent was reacted in the presence of palladium catalyst and tert -butyl hydroperoxide at room temperature, a benzoxylated product was formed in up to 68% yield. The protecting group of the obtained benzoxylated product was smoothly removed to afford a free amide in high yield.
