N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Aromatic Aldehydes with Activated Alkyl Halides
摘要:
N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed umpolung of aldehydes followed by their interception with diarylbromomethanes has been reported. This conceptually novel transition-metal-free cross-coupling of aldehydes with alkyl halides works well at low catalyst loadings and under mild reaction conditions leading to the formation of diaryl acetophenone derivatives in good yields. In addition, a-halo ketones and esters can also be used, as aldehyde reaction partners.
An efficient regioselective protocol for the C–C bond formation by the unexpected α,α-diarylation of aromatic ketones with unactivated arenes in the presence of seleniumdioxide and boron trifluoride etherate has been developed. The generality and functional tolerance of this protocol is demonstrated by the synthesis of a series of triarylethanones.

A Lewis acid-mediated decarboxylative 1,2-rearrangement reaction of cyclic carbonates was developed. The selectivity of the migration of cyclic carbonates was opposite to that of the corresponding 1,2-diols under the same reaction conditions.
