A methyl group can have a profound impact on the pharmacological properties of organic molecules. Hence, developing methylation methods and methylating reagents is essential in medicinal chemistry. We report a palladium-catalyzed dimethylation reaction of ortho-substituted iodoarenes using dimethyl carbonate as a methyl source. In the presence of K2CO3 as a base, iodoarenes are dimethylated at the ipso- and meta-positions of the iodo group, which represents a novel strategy for meta-C-H methylation. With KOAc as the base, subsequent oxidative C(sp3)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling occurs; in this case, the overall transformation achieves triple C-H activation to form three new C-C bonds. These reactions allow expedient access to 2,6-dimethylated phenols, 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, and indanes, which are ubiquitous structural motifs and essential synthetic intermediates of biologically and pharmacologically active compounds.

Photoreactions of 4-nitroanisole and the 2-halo-4-nitroanisoles (halogen == F, Cl, Br, I) with NaCN have been investigated. 4-Nitroanisole gave a novel, stable nitronate ion adduct (74%) with cyanide. For the five compounds, we report product distributions, Stern-Volmer kinetic plots, triplet lifetimes, and triplet yields, which afford rate constants for attack by the cyanide ion. Cyanide attack on the fluoride is diffusion controlled; the relative rates for attack at F, Cl, Br, and I are 27:2:2:1, respectively.
