Copper-catalyzed alkene arylation with diaryliodonium salts

Alkenes and arenes represent two classes of feedstock compounds whose union has fundamental importance to synthetic organic chemistry. We report a new approach to alkene arylation using diaryliodonium salts and Cu catalysis. Using a range of simple alkenes, we have shown that the product outcomes differ significantly from those commonly obtained by the Heck reaction. We have used these insights to develop a number of new tandem and cascade reactions that transform readily available alkenes into complex arylated products that may have broad applications in chemical synthesis.

Metal-free direct arylations of indoles and pyrroles with diaryliodonium salts

Direct arylations of indoles and pyrroles with differently substituted diaryliodonium salts were shown to efficiently proceed in the absence of metal catalysts.     

Design and asymmetric synthesis of chiral diaryliodonium salts

The application of chiral hypervalent iodine reagents in asymmetric synthesis is highly desirable, as the reagents are metal-free, environmentally benign and employed under mild conditions. Three chiral diaryliodonium salts have been designed to provide chemoselectivity and asymmetric induction in asymmetric α-phenylation of carbonyl compounds. The synthetic routes to the selected targets are detailed herein, together with a structural investigation into the diastereoselectivity of the alkylation process.     

Conversion of diaryliodonium salts to aryl fluorides

The preparation of aryl fluorides by the reaction of diaryliodonium salts with KF is discussed. Generally, best results were obtained when the salt Ar₂I⁺X^? was heated with KF in the absence of solvent. The counterion, X^?, must be non-nucleophilic.     

Transition-metal-free synthesis of thiocyanato- or nitro-arenes through diaryliodonium salts

A transition-metal-free approach to facile synthesis of thiocyanato- and nitro-arenes was developed from KSCN (potassiumthiocyanate) or NaNO₂ with diaryliodonium salts in good yields under mild conditions. The reaction was compatible with a variety of sensitive functional substituents such as halides and nitro and ester groups. The usefulness of arylation products has been realized.     

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of enynes and electron-deficient alkynes using diaryliodonium salts

A new single-pot procedure for the synthesis of aryl alkynes is described. Palladium catalyzes the coupling reaction of diaryliodonium compounds with enynes and electron-deficient alkynes to give aryl alkynes in good yields.     

Unprecedented directing group ability of cyclophanes in arene fluorinations with diaryliodonium salts

For the first time it is shown that exceptionally electron-rich arene rings can be fluorinated exclusively during the reductive elimination reactions of diaryliodonium fluorides. The 5-methoxy[2.2]paracyclophan-4-yl directing group simultaneously reduces unproductive aryne chemistry and eliminates ligand exchange reactions by a combination of steric and electronic effects. Use of the cyclophane directing group permits an unprecedented degree of control in fluorination reactions of diaryliodonium salts.     

Acid generation in the thermal decomposition of diaryliodonium salts

Diphenyliodonium tetrafluoroborate and diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate have been found to generate up to two equivalents of hydrogen fluoride per equivalent of the iodonium salt by pyrolysis at 239°C in the neat state and at 150°C in the presence of anisole or nitrobenzene. The formation of hydrogen fluoride is presumed to arise by dissociation of hydrogen tetrafluoroborate or hydrogen hexafluorophosphate initially formed, due to the high temperatures, thus giving rise also to the Lewis acids boron trifluoride and phosphorus pentafluoride, respectively. A detailed analysis of the volatile organic products of the decomposition of the diphenyliodonium salts was also carried out. Many products were identified in all of the cases studied. For example, the neat decomposition of diphenyliodonium tetrafluoroborate afforded benzene, fluorobenzene, iodobenzene, the three isomeric iodobiphenyls, biphenyl, three isomeric terphenyls, and one or more of the diiodobiphenyls, iodoterphenyls, and polyaromatics. Among the iodobiphenyls, the ortho and para isomers were found to predominate over the meta isomer. The terphenyl isomers did not exhibit this ortho, para selectivity. It was significant that decomposition of the diaryliodonium salts in anisole suspension did not afford methoxybiphenyls or iodomethoxybiphenyls. An interpretation of these results is presented. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Arylation of anilines: formation of diarylamines using diaryliodonium salts

Extensive studies on the reaction of the fluoride ion with diaryliodonium salts demonstrated that this is a generic process for the formation of fluoroarenes and has particular advantages for the preparation of fluorine-18 radiopharmaceuticals. During these studies it became apparent that nucleophiles other than the fluoride ion may be employed for generating substituted aromatics. This approach can be applied, using substituted anilines as the nucleophilic reagent, to the formation of a range of diarylamines in good yield. Optimised conditions for the reaction of a diaryliodonium salt with an aniline utilise TFA as the preferred counter-ion in DMF (130 °C, 24 h).     

2-炔基苯胺与二芳基碘鎓盐的选择性芳基化/环化串联反应

有机高价碘试剂是一类环境友好、制备简单且性质温和的有机合成新试剂。近年来,有机高价碘试剂因表现出新颖、独特的反应性能而受到化学工作者广泛关注,成为有机合成重要研究领域之一。二芳基碘鎓盐是有机高价碘试剂的一个重要组成部分,是一类具有较高普适性的芳基化试剂,可用于羰基化合物、烯烃、炔烃和杂原子亲核化合物等的芳基化反应。目前,二芳基碘鎓盐作为芳基化试剂对具有单一芳基化位点化合物的芳基化已经有了非常广泛而深入的研究。对于具有两个甚至多个芳基化位点的化合物(如同时具有胺基和炔基),其芳基化选择性问题仍缺乏系统研究。特别是在多个芳基化位点共存时如何能够使芳基化发生在某一特定位点仍然是一大难题。这限制了二芳基碘鎓盐作为芳基化试剂更广泛的应用。因此,我们选用2-炔基苯胺(含有胺基和炔基两个芳基化位点)作为原料,通过溶剂的选择以及溶液酸碱性的调控来改变不同芳基化位点的反应活性,通过催化剂的调变来改变二芳基碘鎓盐芳基化反应的能力,从而找出最优条件实现底物分子的选择性芳基化反应,并利用剩余活性位点实现分子内的环化反应,从而实现芳基化-环化串联反应合成一系列N-芳基吲哚类化合物。在对模型底物进行条件筛选实验时发现,以2-乙基辛酸铜(Cu(OCOC8H17)2)作催化剂,二异丙基乙基胺(DIPEA)作碱,1,2-二氯乙烷(DCE)为溶剂,反应以最高93%的收率得到1,2-二苯基吲哚。使用该最优反应条件,一系列2-炔基苯胺都能与二芳基碘鎓盐很好地发生反应并且以良好到优秀的产率(71%–98%)得到目标产物N-芳基吲哚。此外,2-炔基苯胺与非对称的二芳基碘鎓盐也能发生反应,实验结果证明为位阻较小的芳基对胺基进行了N-芳基化反应。通过空白实验和对比实验,我们提出了可能的反应机理：二芳基碘鎓盐在铜催化剂作用下转化为亲电性的芳基活性中间体,该中间体与底物的胺基发生芳基化反应,然后芳基化产物在铜催化剂作用下环化生成N-芳基吲哚。该反应很好地解决了同时具有胺基和炔基两个芳基化位点的底物与二芳基碘鎓盐反应时C-芳基化和N-芳基化的竞争问题,选择合适反应条件使N-芳基化反应优先进行,为二芳基碘鎓盐的选择性芳基化反应提供了很好的实例,并为其它具有多个芳基化位点化合物的选择性芳基化反应提供了途径。     

Covalent grafting of glassy carbon electrodes with diaryliodonium salts: new aspects

The applicability and versatility of the recently communicated procedure for the grafting of conducting carbon substrates by diaryliodonium salts is expanded. We have found that several types of organic arylic layers can be formed on the carbon surface and that the chemical functionalities of the thus formed layers can be varied extensively over electron withdrawing (for example, -NO2) to electron donating (for example, -OMe) groups. A comparative study involving the grafting of aryldiazonium salts reveals that, despite the two approaches being similar, iodonium salts exhibit spontaneous grafting to a significantly lower extent. Nevertheless, the grafted layer becomes less accessible to proton transport as visualized from a greater reluctance toward the reduction of surface-confined nitro groups to amino groups in acidic medium. Employment of unsymmetrical iodonium salts opens up the interesting possibility of forming organic films consisting of a mixture of two different aryl groups. Alternatively, such composite layers may be prepared by selecting iodonium and diazonium salts with comparable reduction properties. Analysis of the surfaces is carried out by means of cyclic voltammetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ToF-SIMS (time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry). The ToF-SIMS analysis primarily serves to provide unambiguous evidence for the covalent attachment of the organic layers to the surface.
