Abstract

The first palladium-catalyzed Ugi-type multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of N-acyl anthranilamides from isocyanides, 2-iodoanilines and carboxylic acids has been developed. This method provides expeditious and highly efficient access to structurally diverse N-acyl anthranilamides from readily available starting materials with good functional group compatibility. The utility of this method has been demonstrated by the late stage functionalization of two commercial drugs: Flurbiprofen and Loxoprofen.
