Ligand-Accelerated Iron Photocatalysis Enabling Decarboxylative Alkylation of Heteroarenes
摘要:
A mild, practical protocol for the decarboxylative alkylation of heteroarenes has been accomplished via iron photocatalysis. A diverse range of carboxylic acids readily undergo oxidative decarboxylation and then couple with a broad array of heteroarenes in this transformation. The photoexcited state lifetimes of iron complexes are typically much shorter than those of iridium and ruthenium complexes. Here we describe our effort on iron photocatalysis by utilizing the intramolecular charge transfer pathway of iron-carboxylate complexes.

di(hetero)arylzinc reagents with primary and secondaryalkyliodides or bromides using THF‐soluble CoCl2⋅2 LiCl and TMEDA as a ligand, which leads to the corresponding alkylated products in up to 88 % yield. A range of functional groups (e.g. COOR, CN, CF3, F) are tolerated in these substitution reactions. Remarkably, we do not observe rearrangement of secondaryalkyliodides to unbranched products.
