Palladium-Catalyzed meta-C–H Olefination of Arene-Tethered Diols Directed by Well-Designed Pyrimidine-Based Group
摘要:
The palladium-catalyzed meta-olefination of arene-tethered diols attached to a well-designed pyrimidine moiety is presented. Applications of the protocol are illustrated by the synthesis of various diol-based natural products, such as coumarins, phenylpropanoids, stilbenes, and chalcones. Advantages of this method are demonstrated through the easy removal of the template and a gram-scale olefination reaction. Finally, experimental verification, including H-1 NMR, ESI-MS and IR, and DFT studies are undertaken to elucidate the mechanistic complexity.
