Epoxides are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis, but have rarely been employed in cross-coupling reactions. We report that bipyridine-ligated nickel can mediate the addition of functionalized aryl halides, a vinyl halide, and a vinyl triflate to epoxides under reducing conditions. For terminal epoxides, the regioselectivity of the reaction depends upon the cocatalyst employed. Iodide cocatalysis
环氧化物是有机合成中的通用中间体,但很少用于交叉偶联反应。我们报告说,联吡啶连接的镍可以在还原条件下介导官能化芳基卤化物、乙烯基卤化物和乙烯基三氟甲磺酸酯与环氧化物的加成。对于末端环氧化物,反应的区域选择性取决于所用的助催化剂。碘化物共催化通过碘醇中间体在受阻较小的位置打开。Titanocene 共催化导致在更受阻的位置打开,大概是通过 Ti(III) 介导的自由基生成。1,2-二取代的环氧化物在两种条件下都打开,主要形成反式产物。
