The last part is the introduction and synthesis of unsymmetrical urea from sec. amine and acyl azide by using Cu-catalyst.
Chapter [B] in this chapter main focus on palladium-catalyzed regioselective(Markovnikov's) addition of aryl boronic acid to terminal alkyne of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds is described further application of 1,3-dicarbonyl alkene for trisubstituted 6-membered pyran ring and (E)-4-methylene-1,6-diphenylhex-5-en-1-one synthesis with details discussion of mechanistic study described.
Chapter [C] this chapter contains Cu-catalyzed greener, mild and efficient unsymmetrical urea derivatives synthesis from indole/amine and benzoyl azide. A number of indole derivatives, amines and benzoyl azide substrates were successfully employed with good functional group tolerance. Reactivity of bis indole towards benzoyl azide and gram scale urea synthesis were investigated with mechanism and characterization data.
Chapter [D] was emphasis“Palladium (II)-Catalyzed Regioselective Hydroarylation/Hydroalkenylation of Terminal Alkynes via Carbopalladation without a Directing Group: Synthesis of Allylic, Homoallylic and 1,3-Diene Systems” The details of mechanistic study with control experiment and characterization data described.
