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.

Efficient hydrogenation of aldehydes is highly desirable in hydroformylation process to obtain alcohol products. This work developed carbazole-derived phosphine ligands for efficient Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of aldehydes in the presence of carbon monoxide. Up to 99 % yields of alcohols were obtained in the presence of high-pressure CO at 130 ℃. The results of different ligands revealed the crucial
Palladium-catalyzed direct alkynylation of carbazoles, without the need for oxidants or sensitive reagents, has been developed. The broad substrate compatibility, scalability, and mechanistic insights underscore the method's significance for pharmaceutical and materials science applications.
