Copper‐catalyzed Ullmann condensations are key reactions for the formation of carbon–heteroatom and carbon–carbon bonds in organic synthesis. These reactions can lead to structural moieties that are prevalent in building blocks of active molecules in the life sciences and in many material precursors. An increasing number of publications have appeared concerning Ullmann‐type intermolecular reactions for the coupling of aryl and vinyl halides with N, O, and C nucleophiles, and this Minireview highlights recent and major developments in this topic since 2004. 相似文献
The transformation of C? H bonds into other chemical bonds is of great significance in synthetic chemistry. C? H bond‐activation processes provide a straightforward and atom‐economic strategy for the construction of complex structures; as such, they have attracted widespread interest over the past decade. As a prevalent directing group in the field of C? H activation, the amide group not only offers excellent regiodirecting ability, but is also a potential C? N bond precursor. As a consequence, a variety of nitrogen‐containing heterocycles have been obtained by using these reactions. This Focus Review addresses the recent research into the amide‐directed tandem C? C/C? N bond‐formation process through C? H activation. The large body of research in this field over the past three years has established it as one of the most‐important topics in organic chemistry. 相似文献
The first example of a transition‐metal‐catalyzed, meta‐selective C H bromination procedure is reported. In the presence of catalytic [{Ru(p‐cymene)Cl2}2], tetrabutylammonium tribromide can be used to functionalize the meta C H bond of 2‐phenylpyridine derivatives, thus affording difficult to access products which are highly predisposed to further derivatization. We demonstrate this utility with one‐pot bromination/arylation and bromination/alkenylation procedures to deliver meta‐arylated and meta‐alkenylated products, respectively, in a single step. 相似文献
We report the first enantioselective C C bond formation through C O bond cleavage using aryl ester counterparts. This method is characterized by its wide substrate scope and results in the formation of quaternary stereogenic centers with high yields and asymmetric induction. 相似文献
An ortho‐selective C F bond borylation between N‐heterocycle‐substituted polyfluoroarenes and Bpin‐Bpin with simple and commercially available [Rh(cod)2]BF4 as a catalyst is now reported. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and broad substrate scope, even toward monofluoroarene, thus providing a facile access to a wide range of borylated fluoroarenes that are useful for photoelectronic materials. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a RhIII/V catalytic cycle via a key intermediate rhodium(III) hydride complex [(H)RhIIILn(Bpin)] may be involved in the reaction. 相似文献
[Cp*RhIII]‐catalyzed C H activation of arenes assisted by an oxidizing N O or N N directing group has allowed the construction of a number of hetercycles. In contrast, a polar N O bond is well‐known to undergo O‐atom transfer (OAT) to alkynes. Despite the liability of N O bonds in both C H activation and OAT, these two important areas evolved separately. In this report, [Cp*RhIII] catalysts integrate both areas in an efficient redox‐neutral coupling of quinoline N‐oxides with alkynes to afford α‐(8‐quinolyl)acetophenones. In this process the N O bond acts as both a directing group for C H activation and as an O‐atom donor. 相似文献
2,4,6‐Trimethoxypyridine is identified as an efficient ligand for promoting a Pd‐catalyzed ortho‐C H amination of both benzamides and triflyl‐protected benzylamines. This finding provides guidance for the development of ligands that can improve or enable PdII‐catalyzed C H activation reactions directed by weakly coordinating functional groups. 相似文献
Pick your Pd partners : A number of catalytic systems have been developed for palladium‐catalyzed C? H activation/C? C bond formation. Recent studies concerning the palladium(II)‐catalyzed coupling of C? H bonds with organometallic reagents through a PdII/Pd0 catalytic cycle are discussed (see scheme), and the versatility and practicality of this new mode of catalysis are presented. Unaddressed questions and the potential for development in the field are also addressed.
The direct functionalization of C? H bonds is an attractive strategy in organic synthesis. Although several advances have been made in this area, the selective activation of inert sp3 C? H bonds remains a daunting challenge. Recently, a new type of sp3 C? H activation mode through internal hydride transfer has demonstrated the potential to activate remote sp3 C? H linkages in an atom‐economic manner. This Minireview attempts to classify recent advances in this area including the transition to non‐activated sp3 C? H bonds and asymmetric hydride transfers. 相似文献
New kid on the block : The cross‐coupling of thioorganic compounds with boronic acids under neutral conditions in the presence of catalytic palladium(0) and a stoichiometric amount of a copper(I) oxygenate has emerged as a very useful method for the construction of C C bonds (see scheme). This intriguing and mechanistically unprecedented base‐free coupling has distinct advantages, in particular when traditional Pd0‐catalyzed cross‐coupling is not possible.
The commonly used para‐nitrobenzenesulfonyl (nosyl) protecting group is employed to direct the C H activation of amines for the first time. An enantioselective ortho‐C H cross‐coupling between nosyl‐protected diarylmethylamines and arylboronic acid pinacol esters has been achieved utilizing chiral mono‐N‐protected amino acid (MPAA) ligands as a promoter. 相似文献
