The palladium‐catalyzed CHactivation and arylation of N‐methylpyrrole and N‐phenylpyrrole allowed a convenient synthesis of diarylpyrroles. The reactions were performed by using tetrabutylammonium acetate as an ionic solvent, which allowed for the application of a ligand‐free catalytic system by using simple palladium salts or polyvinylpyrrolidone‐stabilized palladium nanoparticles as the catalyst
AbstractThe reactivity of pyrrole derivatives for palladium‐catalysed desulfitative arylation has been investigated. 1‐Methyl‐, 1‐phenyl‐ and 1‐benzylpyrroles were successfully coupled with a variety of benzenesulfonyl chlorides using a phosphine‐free catalyst. Highly regioselective arylations at carbon C2 of pyrroles were observed in all cases. A wide variety of substituents on the benzenesulfonyl derivative was tolerated.It should be noted that even bromo‐ and iodo‐benzenesulfonyl chlorides were successfully coupled with pyrrole derivatives without cleavage of the CBr or CI bonds, allowing further transformations. Surprisingly, with indoles, mixtures of C2‐ and C3‐arylation products were obtained.magnified image
