Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of Arylsulfoniums
摘要:
Alkoxycarbonylation of arylsulfoniums has been developed with the aid of a catalytic amount of a palladium-Xantphos complex under an atmospheric pressure of CO gas. Various functional groups such as carbonyl, cyano, halo, and sulfonyl groups were well tolerated under the present catalysis. Since aryldimethylsulfoniums were readily prepared from the corresponding aryl methyl sulfides and methyl triflate, one-pot alkoxycarbonylation of aryl methyl sulfides could be accomplished.
Phenols are attractive starting materials due to their ready availability. Herein, we developed a novel method on palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of phenols. By using commercially available Pd(OAc)(2) and PtBu center dot HBF4 as the catalyst system and aryl triflates as triflyl source to activate the other phenol, various carboxylic acid esters were prepared in moderate to good yields via Tf exchange and then O-Tf bond cleavage. Notably, phenols generated from aryl triflates after Tf transfer or other additional aliphatic alcohols can all be employed as nucleophiles to synthesize the corresponding esters.
