title: Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling with imines: a multicomponent synthesis of imidazolones.
abstract: The palladium-catalyzed coupling of imines, chloroformates, organotin reagents, and carbon monoxide leads to the one-pot formation of ketocarbamates in good yields. These products can further be converted to highly substituted imidazolones via a cyclocondensation reaction. Overall, this methodology provides an alternative approach to imidazolones from five simple and readily available building blocks via a one-pot, multicomponent process.
