Ruthenium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling of anilines with alkenyl borates via selective aryl C N bond cleavage
摘要:
Herein, we developed a new ruthenium(0)-catalyzed Suzuki-coupling of N,N-dimethyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl) anilines with alkenyl borates to synthesize 2-phenylolefins via the cleavage of neutral aryl C-N bond. In the absence of ligand and additives, by using pyridine as the directing group, the desired 2-phenylolefins were obtained in good to excellent yields with high stereoselectivity (E/Z > 20:1).
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Coupling of Anilines with Organoboranes by the Cleavage of Neutral Aryl C–N Bond
摘要:
Herein, we report the first ruthenium-catalyzed Suzuki-type carbonylative reaction of electronically neutral anilines via C(aryl)-N bond cleavage. Without any ligand and base, diaryl ketones can be obtained in moderate to high yields by using Ru-3(CO)(12) as the catalyst and chelation assisted by pyridine. The pyridine ring has a significant effect on both high efficiency and high regioselectivity in the cleavage of the aryl C-N bond in anilines.
