Arylative Desulfonation of Diarylmethyl Phenyl Sulfone with Arenes Catalyzed by Scandium Triflate
摘要:
A scandium-triflate-catalyzed arylative desulfonation of diarylmethyl phenyl sulfones with arenes and heteroarenes was established. A variety of both sulfone and arene substrates were reacted to afford symmetric and nonsymmetric triarylmethanes in good yields. Further transformations of the resulting triarylmethanes and application to the concise synthesis of a bactericidal agent analogue were also demonstrated.
Simple and efficient procedure for alkylation of aromatics from alcohols in the presence of NaHSO4/SiO2 was developed. Various triaryl methanes were obtained in good yields in short reaction time. For instance the reaction of mesitylene with benzhydrol in the presence of NaHSO4/SiO2 gave the corresponding triaryl methane in a quantitative yield. NaHSO4/SiO2 was regenerated by simple treatment and could
Simple and efficient methods were developed for sp(2)-sp(3) and sp(3)-sp(3) C-C bond-activation reactions of 2-substituted 1,3-diketones. 3-Substituted 3-bromopentane-2,4-diones were deacylated in the presence of an aromatic compound and a silica gel supported Bronsted acid containing sulfonic groups. The carbocation formed by cleavage of the sp(3)-sp(3) C-C bond of the dione alkylated the aromatic compound.
