Direct Ortho Arylation of 9-(Pyridin-2-yl)-9H-carbazoles Bearing a Removable Directing Group via Palladium(II)-Catalyzed C–H Bond Activation
摘要:
A one-pot synthesis of ortho-arylated 9-(pyridin-2-yl)-9H-carbazoles via C-H bond activation is presented. Silver nitrate and tert-butyl alcohol were found to be the best oxidant and solvent for the process, respectively. The product yields are from modest to excellent, and the reaction showed sufficient functional group tolerance. p-Benzoquinone served as an important ligand for the transmetalation and reductive elimination steps in the catalytic process. The key intermediate of the reaction, a 9-(pyridin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole palladacycle, was isolated, and its structure was unequivocally confirmed by X-ray crystallography. No kinetic isotope effect (k(H)/k(D) = 1.00 +/- 0.17) for the C-H bond activation step was observed. In addition, a Hammett experiment gave a negative rho value, -2.16 +/- 0.02. The directing group, pyridinyl, was demonstrated to be a removable functional group. Finally, a rational catalytic mechanism is presented on the basis of all experimental evidence.

A high‐yielding silver(I)‐ or copper(II)‐catalyzed dearomatizing spirocyclization strategy allows the conversion of simple aromatic compounds that contain ynone substituents, including indole, anisole, pyrrole, and benzofuran derivatives, into functionalized spirocyclic scaffolds. A high‐yielding asymmetric variant furnishes spirocyclic indolenines in up to 89:11 e.r.

A three-component reaction of indoles, α-bromoacetaldehyde acetals, and ketones was developed by using bismuth(III) triflate as the catalyst to realize a straightforward approach for synthesizing carbazole derivatives. The reaction was established mechanistically through the autotandem catalysis of Bi(OTf)3 in the following two steps: (i) Friedel–Crafts-typealkylation of indole with α-bromoacetaldehyde

A palladium-catalyzed, temporary P(O) directing group assisted C–H bondarylation of carbazoles was achieved. The release of the directing group occurs spontaneously in the reaction and the mechanistic studies indicate that acid is essential for N–P bondcleavage.
