Background The chemistry and applications of 2-pyridone structures have recently attracted
a lot of attention due to their uses as synthetic intermediates and their biological importance …

Abstract Oxidant‐free Au (I)/Au (III) catalysis can still be regarded as a young and promising
chemistry. Because the first examples of gold catalysis were limited to the activation and …

A combination of a calcium (II) triflimide salt and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) was found to
be a highly efficient promoter system for the intra-and intermolecular hydroamidation of …

Gold is currently one of the most used metals in organometallic catalysis. The ability of gold
to activate unsaturated groups in different modes, together with its tolerance to a wide range …

The reaction mechanism and regioselectivity for the gold (I)-catalyzed hydroamination
reaction of terminal alkenes are analyzed by means of density functional theory (DFT) …

2-Pyridone is characterized by a very wide range of reactivity of a different nature, ranging
from electrophilic aromatic substitution, CH–metal-mediated reactions, and NH/OH …

A novel and facile method for the synthesis of N‐β‐CF3‐substituted 2‐pyridones via
hydroamination of α‐(trifluoromethyl) styrenes with 2‐pyridones was described. The reaction …

A catalytic synthetic strategy has been developed combining two protocols, such as, direct
nucleophilic substitution of alcohols followed by X‐to N‐alkyl group migration (X= O, S) to …

A concise and flexible procedure for the synthesis of highly functionalized N-heterocyclic 1,
6-annulated 2-pyridones and 2, 3-annulated 4-pyrimidinones has been elaborated through …

A selective N-alkylation reaction of 2-pyridones and related heterocycles via intermolecular
alkene hydroamination is reported. The reaction utilizes palladium (II) acetate as a catalyst …
