Mild Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Alkylation Using Potassium Alkyltrifluoroborates in Combination with MnF3
摘要:
A Pd-catalyzed method for ligand-directed C-H alkylation with organoboron reagents is described. The combination of potassium organo-trifluoroborates, MnF3, and a Pd-II catalyst effects pyridine and amide-directed C-H alkylation. These reactions proceed under mild conditions (25-40 degrees C in weakly acidic media), are effective for installing methyl and 1 degrees alkyl groups, and do not require promoters such as benzoquinone.
A rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO) 3 (thf)] 2 , catalyzes the insertion of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds into a C-H bond of aromatic compounds having nitrogen-containing directing groups. In this reaction, Re 2 (CO) 10 can also be used as a catalyst. When imines are employed as the aromatic substrates, sequential cyclization proceeds and indene derivatives are obtained in good to excellent yields. This
A complete switch in the Cp*Ir(III)-catalyzed paths between C-H olefination and hydroarylation was found to be crucially dependent on the type of directing groups. This dichotomy in product distribution was correlated to the efficiency in attaining syn-coplanarity of olefin-inserted 7-membered iridacycles. Theoretical studies support our hypothesis that the degree of flexibility of this key intermediate modulates the beta-H elimination, which ultimately affords the observed chemoselectivity.
