FeCl3-Catalyzed 1,2-Addition Reactions of Aryl Aldehydes with Arylboronic Acids
摘要:
A novel protocol for the 1,2-addition reactions of electron-deficient aryl aldehydes with arylboronic acids using an inexpensive and environmentally benign iron catalyst is reported. In the presence of FeCl3 and 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl, 1,2-addition reactions of various electron-deficient aryl aldehydes with arylboronic acids provided the corresponding biaryl methanols in moderate to excellent yields.
