Cross‐Dehydrogenative Homocoupling of 2‐Aryl‐N‐heterocycles and Application to the Synthesis of Phenylpyridine Borane Dimers
摘要:
AbstractA method for the synthesis of 2‐aryl‐N‐heterocyclic dimers via a cross‐dehydrogenative homocoupling (homo‐CDC) has been developed using commercially available Ruthenium on charcoal as catalyst and iron trichloride as oxidant. A large variety of heterocyclic scaffolds and functional groups are tolerated and a complete regioselectivity resulting from the activation of the less sterically hindered C−H bonds was observed for meta‐substituted substrates. Starting from several homocoupling products obtained, a series of pyridine‐borane complexes was synthesized and the impact of the dimerization on their photophysical properties was studied and rationalized using theoretical calculations.

[BuEt3N][NTf2] can be a superior ionic liquid in a RuCl3 catalyzed oxidative C-H activation reaction compared to standard imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The tetraalkylammonium-based ionic liquid resulted in higher yields. This could be due to the absence of a possible C-H activation on the tetraalkylammonium-based ionic liquid itself. This side reaction could occur with imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The ionic liquid could be recycled and different oxidation agents could be used in the reaction. The best results were obtained with FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O and with a combination of LiCl under an oxygen atmosphere. Up to 83% yield were obtained in the homocoupling of 2-arylpyridines.
