Synthesis of 2-(o-hydroxyaryl)-4-arylthiazoles by regioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling
摘要:
The difunctional substrate 2,4-dibromothiazole 2 was transformed into the title compounds 1 by consecutive Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Aryl zinc reagents which were prepared by ortho-lithiation of compounds 3 and subsequent transmetalation were used as carbon nucleophiles in the first coupling reaction. By this means, an aryl substituent was attached to the 2-position (50-62% yield). A succeeding cross-coupling with arylboronic acids 4 occurred at the 4-position of the intermediate 4-bromothiazoles 5 (76-97% yield). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cross-coupling reactions occur on 2,4-dibromothiazole preferentially at the more electron-deficient 2-position. This fact can be favorably used to prepare 2-substituted 4-bromothiazoles, which serve as precursors for 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles. Protocols for regioselective Negishi and Stille cross-coupling reactions are provided. Alternatively, the title compound can be metalated in 2-position by a halogen-metal exchange reaction. As a supplement to the well-established bromine-lithium exchange, the regioselective bromine-magnesium exchange reaction is presented.
