Efficient Synthesis of Heterocyle-Fused β‑Naphthylamines via Intramolecular Addition to a Cyano Group Initiated by Nucleopalladation of Alkynes

Abstract

A palladium­(II)-catalyzed efficient synthesis of heterocycle-fused β-naphthylamines was accomplished via nucleophilic addition of a carbon–palladium bond to the intramolecular cyano group initiated by nucleopalladation (oxypalladation or aminopalladation) of alkynes
