Biaryl Construction via Ni-Catalyzed C−O Activation of Phenolic Carboxylates
摘要:
Biaryl scaffolds were constructed via Ni-catalyzed aryl C-O activation by avoiding cleavage of the more reactive acyl C-O bond aryl carboxylates. Now aryl esters, in general, can be successfully employed in cross-coupling reactions for the first time. The substrate scope and synthetic utility of the chemistry were demonstrated by the syntheses of more than 40 biaryls and by constructing complex organic molecules. Water was observed to play an important role in facilitating this transformation.

The Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl phosphates using Ni(PCy3)2Cl2 as an inexpensive, bench-stable catalyst is described. Broad substrate scope and high efficiency are demonstrated by the syntheses of more than 40 biaryls and by constructing complex organic molecules. The poor reactivity of aryl phosphates relative to aryl halides is successfully employed to construct polyarenes by selective cross-coupling
