Formation of a carbonyl group ortho to a biaryl structure or a 6H-dibenzopyran by a palladium/norbornene-catalyzed ordered reaction sequence
摘要:
Developments are reported in the catalytic synthesis of biaryls containing an ortho-carbaldehyde or 6H-dibenzopyrans in the presence of palladium/norbornene as catalyst. The reaction of o-substituted aryl iodides and o-bromobenzyl alcohols proceeds by unsymmetrical aryl-aryl coupling to form a seven-membered oxapalladacycle intermediate, which may undergo an intramolecular redox process to form carbonyl groups or a C-O coupling to six-membered cyclic ethers. The predominant formation of di-benzopyrans as well as of biaryl structures containing the oxidized CHO group in one ring and the reduced CH2OH in the other is described along with some mechanistic insights.

o-Biaryl carbaldeydes and ketones are obtained through the one-pot reaction of o-aryl iodides with o-bromobenzyl alcohols under the catalytic action of Pd and norbornene, in the presence of a base. The same reaction can also give dibenzopyrans by Pd and norbornene catalysis with a different termination, leading to C-O ring closure. In both cases the process first leads to a five-membered palladacycle, which controls C-C coupling, then to a seven-membered oxapalladacycle, which gives aldehydes and ketones or dibenzopyrans.
