- Microwave-promoted Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of arylboronic acids with 1-bromo-2-naphthol, o-bromophenol, and o-chlorophenol
-
In this letter we report a simple and efficient way for the direct Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of unprotected 2-hydroxyaryl bromides and of 2-chlorophenol with arylboronic acids using suitable phosphine/Pd(OAc)2 catalysts systems with moist K3PO4/toluene or moist CsF/dioxane and microwave heating (20 min 105 °C to 3 h 100-120 °C) with an internal temperature control providing 2-hydroxybiaryls in yields up to 98%.

- Photocyclization and Photoaddition Reactions of Arylphenols via Intermediate Quinone Methides
-
A series of five benzannelated derivatives of 2-phenylphenol were prepared, and their photochemistry was investigated. Two of these (3-phenyl-2-naphthol, 10, and 1-phenyl-2-naphthol, 11) were photoinert. For 2-(1-naphthyl)phenol (12) and 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-naphthol (13), ESPT took place to either the 2′-position or the 7′-position of the naphthalene ring to give quinone methides (QMs) that underwent either reverse proton transfer (RPT) or electrocyclic ring closure to give dihydrobenzoxanthenes. The intermediate QMs for 12 and 13 were detected and characterized by laser flash photolysis. For 2-(9-phenanthryl)phenol (14), ESPT took place either to the 5′-position to give a QM that underwent quantitative electrocyclic ring closure to give the corresponding benzoxanthene or to the 10′-position to give a QM that underwent RPT. If the solution contained methanol, the QM produced on ESPT to the 10′-position in 14 could be trapped as the photoaddition product. The compounds studied in this work demonstrate three possible reactions of QMs produced following ESPT to aromatic carbon atoms: (1) reverse proton transfer (RPT) to regenerate starting material; (2) addition of hydroxylic solvents to give the photoaddition product; and (3) electrocyclic ring closure to give benzoxanthene derivatives.

- C-H functionalization directed by transformable nitrogen heterocycles: Synthesis of ortho-oxygenated arylnaphthalenes from arylphthalazines
-
Two protocols for oxygenation of aromatic C-H bonds ortho-positioned to the phthalazine ring were developed. The transannulation of the phthalazine ring to a naphthalene moiety by an Inverse Electron Demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction led to the synthesis of naphtho[2,1-c]chromenes, 1-(ortho-hydroxyaryl) naphthalenes and 6,7-dihydrobenzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]oxepine. This new strategy based on the utilization of transformable nitrogen heterocycles in C-H functionalization chemistry can be potentially applicable to the synthesis of a broad range of biaryl compounds.

- A Palladium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Arene-Triflate Coupling for the Synthesis of Fluoranthrenes and Benzofluoranthrenes
-
A method for the preparation of fluoranthrenes and benzofluoranthrenes from aryl bromides and aryl methoxymethyl ethers is described.The key step in this synthesis is an intramolecular triflate-arene coupling mediated by bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II)chloride.Fluoranthrene, benzofluoranthrene, benzofluoranthrene, and indenopyrene were prepared in yields of 84-91percent.The regiospecific synthesis of substituted benzofluoranthrenes was demonstrated by the preparation of 6-fluorobenzofluoranthrene (72percent yield) and 5- and 6-methoxybenzofluoranthrene in yields of 73percent and 62percent respectively when the reaction was conducted in the presence of excess triphenylphosphine.Key Words: synthesis; palladium; triflate; fluoranthrene; benzofluoranthrene
