Regioselective diarylation of ketone enolates by homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis: synthesis of triarylethanones
摘要:
A novel, one-step approach to 1,2,2-triarylethanones is achieved by an efficient palladium-catalyzed alpha,alpha-diarylation of commercially available acetophenones. After assaying an array of experimental conditions, two convenient procedures, which avoid ortho-arylation side reactions, are chosen to perform the target regioselective diarylation. The former protocol is based on the use of such a simple homogeneous system as Pd(OAc)(2)/PPh3/Cs2CO3, and the latter one employs a commercially available polymer-anchored catalyst.

Towards a facile synthesis of triarylethanones: palladium-catalyzed arylation of ketone enolates under homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions
The palladium-catalyzed regioselective alpha-monoarylation of deoxybenzoins and alpha,alpha-diarylation of acetophenones provides general, efficient access to 1,2,2-triarylethanones. After a comprehensive search for suitable experimental conditions to optimize such transformations, both reactions are alternatively conducted by means of either commercially available polymer-anchored catalysts or a very simple homogeneous catalytic system, thus avoiding the use of complex ligands. In addition, the synthesis of deoxybenzoins employing polymer-supported fibrous palladium catalysts is reported for the first time, and the excellent catalyst recycling properties suggest applicability to industrial purposes.
