Hindered aryl bromides for regioselective palladium-catalysed direct arylation at less favourable C5-carbon of 3-substituted thiophenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of the congested aryl bromide 2-bromo-1,3-dichlorobenzene as coupling partner allows to modify the regioselectivity of the arylation of 3-substituted thiophene derivatives in favour of carbon C5. The coupling of this aryl bromide with a variety of 3-substituted thiophenes gave in all cases the desired 5-arylation products in moderate to good yields using only 0.5 mol % of a phosphine-free and air-stable palladium catalyst. Then, from these 5-arylthiophenes, a second palladium-catalysed C-H bond functionalization at C2 of the thiophene ring allows the synthesis of 2,5-diarylthiophenes with two different aryl units.

Regiocontroled Pd-catalysed C5-arylation of 3-substituted thiophene derivatives using a bromo-substituent as blocking group
The use of a bromo-substituent as blocking group at the C2-position of 3-substituted thiophenes allows the regioselective introduction of aryl substituents at C5-position via Pd-catalysed direct arylation. With 1 mol % of a phosphine-free Pd catalyst, KOAc as the base and DMA as the solvent and various electron-deficient aryl bromides as aryl sources, C5-(hetero)arylated thiophenes were synthes...

Ligand-free Pd(OAc)2 was found to catalyze very efficiently the direct C2-arylation of benzothiophene derivatives under low catalyst concentration. The reaction can be performed employing as little as 0.5-0.1 mol-% catalyst with electron-deficient and some electron-rich aryl bromides. The presence of a methyl or a formyl substituent at C3 of benzothiophene has a minor influence on the reactivit...

The reactivity of 2-bromo- and 2,5-dibromoselenophenes in Pd-catalyzed direct heteroarylation was investigated. From 2-bromoselenophene, only the most reactive heteroarenes could be employed to prepare 2-heteroarylated selenophenes; whereas, 2,5-dibromoselenophene generally gave 2,5-di(heteroarylated) selenophenes in high yields using both thiazole and thiophene derivatives. Moreover, sequentia...
متن کاملA solution to the 2-pyridyl organometallic cross-coupling problem: regioselective catalytic direct arylation of pyridine N-oxides.
Direct arylation reactions of pyridine N-oxides occur in excellent yield with complete selectivity for the 2-position with a wide range of aryl bromides. This reactivity permits the use of inexpensive, commercially available, and bench-stable pyridine N-oxides as replacements for problematic 2-metallapyridines in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
