Palladium-catalyzed Kumada Coupling Reaction of Bromoporphyrins with Silylmethyl Grignard Reagents: Preparation of Silylmethyl-substituted Porphyrins as a Multipurpose Synthon for Fabrication of Porphyrin Systems
摘要:
We have developed an efficient method for preparing silylmethyl-substituted porphyrins via the palladium-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reaction of bromoporphyrins with silylmethyl Grignard reagents. We demonstrated the synthetic utility of these silylmethylporphyrins as a multipurpose synthon for fabricating porphyrin derivatives through a variety of transformations of the silylmethyl groups, including the DDQ-promoted oxidative conversion to CHO, CH2OH, CH2OMe, and CH2F functionalities and the fluoride ion-mediated desilylative introduction of carbon-carbon single and double bonds.
