Completely Regioselective Direct C–H Functionalization of Benzo[b]thiophenes Using a Simple Heterogeneous Catalyst
摘要:
The first completely selective C3 C-H arylation of benzo[b]thiophenes is reported, demonstrating previously unexploited reactivity of palladium. Benzo[b]thiophenes are coupled with readily available aryl chlorides using a ligand-free, dual catalytic system of heterogeneous Pd/C and CuCl. The reaction is operationally simple and insensitive to air and moisture, and it provides valuable products with complete selectivity. Significant investigations into the nature of the active catalytic species and mechanistic considerations are discussed.
The first example of a regioselective β-arylation of benzo[b]thiophenes and thiophenes at room temperature with aryl iodides as coupling partners is reported. This methodology stands out for its operational simplicity: no prefunctionalization of either starting material is required, the reaction is insensitive to air and moisture, and it proceeds at room temperature. The mild conditions afford wide
报道了苯并[b]噻吩和噻吩在室温下以芳基碘作为偶联伙伴的区域选择性β-芳基化的第一个例子。这种方法因其操作简单而突出:不需要任何一种起始材料的预官能化,反应对空气和水分不敏感,并且在室温下进行。温和的条件提供了广泛的官能团耐受性,通常具有完全的区域选择性和高产率,从而形成高效的催化系统。包括 13C 和 2H KIE 在内的初步机理研究表明,该过程是通过噻吩双键上的协同碳钯化作用发生的,然后是碱基辅助的抗消除作用。

With high regioselectivity, a series of benzoheterocyclic compounds were synthesized via palladiium-catalyzed phosphine-free C-H arylation of benzothiophenes/benzofurans with aryl MIDA boronates at 30-50 degrees C in moderate to excellent yields. MIDA boronates were used in C-H arylation of heterocycles for the first time. Under the optimal conditions, the benzothiophenes could be transformed into the beta-arylbenzothiophenes, and the benzofurans gave only alpha-aryl-substituted products.
