Carbonyl-substituted caffeine derivatives have attracted much attention due to their potent pharmaceutical activity and interesting fluorescent properties. An efficient synthesis of 8-ester-substituted caffeines through palladium-catalyzed C-H alkoxycarbonylation was developed. The reaction was carried out in the presence of PdCl2(PPh3)2 and Cu(OAc)2 under 101 kPa CO atmosphere in 1,4-dioxane, providing diversified 8-ester-substituted caffeines in reasonable to good yields. The approach was characterized by using atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide and broad functional group tolerance.

Key words: palladium, C-H bond acitivation, carbonylation, caffeine, carbon monoxide
