ABSTRACT

Reaction screening of nucleophilic reaction partners for addition to N-diphenylphosphinylimines employing lanthanum(III) triflate as a catalyst and trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) as an activator is reported. A number of tandem processes leading to novel chemotypes including aza-Prins/intramolecular Friedel-Crafts annulations have been identified, and both reaction scope and mechanism further investigated.
