In this article, a high-yield method for the synthesis of sulfonyl 9-fluorenylidenes is described, which consists of a one-pot straightforward three-step synthetic route, including (i) CuBr2-mediated alpha-bromination of o-arylacetophenone, (ii) sequential nucleophilic substitution of the resulting alpha-bromo o-arylacetophenone with sodium sulfinate (RSO2Na), and (iii) the CuBr2-mediated intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclizative dehydration. A plausible mechanism is proposed and discussed. This protocol provides a highly effective regio- and stereoselective annulation via the formation of one carbon-carbon (C-C) bond and one carbon-sulfur (C-S) bond.
Base free aryl coupling of diazonium compounds and boronic esters: self-activation allowing an overall highly practical process
Boronic esters have long been considered as poor partners in cross-coupling reactions with arene diazoniums. Here is reported an unprecedented application of self-activated boronic esters in a base-free cross-coupling reaction with diazonium salts under mild and user friendly conditions.
