Studies on Pd(II)-catalyzed Directing-Group aided Regioselective C-H Functionalization of Carboxamides

Abstract

The thesis entitled “Studies on Pd(II)-catalyzed directing-group aided regioselective C-H functionalization of carboxamides” divulge the bidentate directing group-enabled palladium-catalyzed regioselective (a) synthesis of C-3 functionalized thiophene/ furan carboxamides, (b) intramolecular amidation of δ-C(sp 2 )-H bonds of carboxamides and synthesis of phenanthridinone and quinolone derivatives, and (c) functionalization of the unexplored sites of azoarenes such as C-3/C4 positions.
