Palladium-catalyzed chemoselective direct α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with chloroaryl triflates at the C-Cl site
This study described palladium-catalyzed chemoselective direct α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with chloroaryl triflates in the Ar-Cl bond. The Pd/SelectPhos system showed excellent chemoselectivity toward the Ar-Cl bond in the presence of the Ar-OTf bond with a broad substrate scope and excellent...

Summary: | This study described palladium-catalyzed chemoselective direct α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with chloroaryl triflates in the Ar-Cl bond. The Pd/SelectPhos system showed excellent chemoselectivity toward the Ar-Cl bond in the presence of the Ar-OTf bond with a broad substrate scope and excellent product yields. The electronic and steric hindrance offered by the -PR
2
group of the ligand with the C2-alkyl group was found to be the key factor affecting the reactivity and chemoselectivity of the α-arylation reaction. The chemodivergent approach was also successfully employed in the synthesis of flurbiprofen and its derivatives (
e.g.
, -OMe and -F).
Palladium-catalyzed chemoselective direct α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with chloroaryl triflates in the Ar-Cl bond is reported. The effects of -PR
2
and C2-alkyl groups of the ligands are investigated using experimental and computational methods. |
