Pd-Catalyzed Site-Selectivep-Hydroxyphenyloxylation of Benzylic α-C(sp3)–H Bonds with 1,4-Benzoquinone
摘要:
A Pd-catalyzed, site-selective p-hydroxypheny-loxylation of benzylic alpha-C(sp(3))-H bonds with 1,4-benzoquinone using thioamide as a directing group is reported. 1,4-Benzoquinone is employed as the p-hydroxyphenyloxy source without extra oxidants. This method exclusively gives site selectivity at alpha-C(sp(3))-H bonds rather than the usual beta-C(sp(3))-H bonds through C-H activation mode. The reactions proceed with high functional group tolerance in yields of 42-93%.

Thioamides are unique and versatile synthetic building blocks with S, N, and alpha-C three adjacent nucleophile centers, however, they are rarely used as carbon nucleophiles for transition-metal-catalyzed C-C coupling reactions. This Letter describes the first Pd-catalyzed alpha-arylation of thioamides and demonstrated the feasibility of the application of thioamides in coupling chemistry. By the coupling process, a variety of alpha-arylated thioamides were prepared in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions, which provides an alternative way to access functionalized thioamides as well as a new synthetic transformation for thioamides. High chemoselectivity for thioamide over amide was observed in the reaction. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
