The first example of a regioselective β-arylation of benzo[b]thiophenes and thiophenes at room temperature with aryl iodides as coupling partners is reported. This methodology stands out for its operational simplicity: no prefunctionalization of either starting material is required, the reaction is insensitive to air and moisture, and it proceeds at room temperature. The mild conditions afford wide
报道了苯并[b]噻吩和噻吩在室温下以芳基碘作为偶联伙伴的区域选择性β-芳基化的第一个例子。这种方法因其操作简单而突出:不需要任何一种起始材料的预官能化,反应对空气和水分不敏感,并且在室温下进行。温和的条件提供了广泛的官能团耐受性,通常具有完全的区域选择性和高产率,从而形成高效的催化系统。包括 13C 和 2H KIE 在内的初步机理研究表明,该过程是通过噻吩双键上的协同碳钯化作用发生的,然后是碱基辅助的抗消除作用。
Ag(I)–C–H Activation Enables Near-Room-Temperature Direct α-Arylation of Benzo[<i>b</i>]thiophenes
first example of near-room-temperature α-arylation of benzo[b]thiophenes is reported. The discovery rests on the observation of a switch in α-/β-regioselectivity at different loadings of Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in the coupling between benzo[b]thiophene and 4-iodotoluene. We show that this unprecedented regioselectivity switch is driven by a Ag(I)-mediated C–H activation at the α-C–H position, which becomes the

α,α-Diphenylbenzo[b]thien-2-ylmethanol was treated with a series of arylbromides in the presence of palladium(II) acetate and tricyclohexylphosphane to give the appropriate 2-aryl-benzo[b]thiophenes in good to excellent yield with concomitant formation of benzophenone. The reaction wassuccessfully extended to α,α-diphenylbenzo[b]thien-3-ylmethanol, although in certain cases the transformation was

The first completely selective C3 C-H arylation of benzo[b]thiophenes is reported, demonstrating previously unexploited reactivity of palladium. Benzo[b]thiophenes are coupled with readily available aryl chlorides using a ligand-free, dual catalytic system of heterogeneous Pd/C and CuCl. The reaction is operationally simple and insensitive to air and moisture, and it provides valuable products with complete selectivity. Significant investigations into the nature of the active catalytic species and mechanistic considerations are discussed.
