Cross-coupling of non-activated chloroalkanes with aryl grignard reagents in the presence of iron/N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts
An efficient and high-yielding cross-coupling reaction of various primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl chlorides with aryl Grignard reagents was achieved by using catalytic amounts of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and iron salts. This reaction is a simple and efficient arylation method having applicability to a wide range of industrially abundant chloroalkanes, including polychloroalkanes, which are challenging substrates under conventional cross-coupling conditions.
A problem of the present invention is to provide an economical process with minimized toxicity for producing an aromatic compound having a variety of substituents such as various alkyl groups, and the problem is solved by a process for production of an aromatic compound represented by formula (1) below, which comprises reacting a compound represented by formula (2) below with an aromatic magnesium reagent represented by formula (3a) below in the presence of an iron catalyst and a diamine compound: wherein R is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group or a C 3 - C 10 saturated or unsaturated ring group; A is an optionally substituted C 4 - C 20 aromatic group or an optionally substituted heteroaromatic group; X is a halogen atom or a sulfonic acid ester; and Y 1 is bromine, iodine, chlorine or a carbanion ligand.

A simple reduction of α-bromosulfones by cat.(PhSe)2/NaBH4
Reduction of α-bromosulfones 1, 5, 13-16 by cat.(PhSe)2/NaBH4 occurred site-selectively in high yields. This reduction of 1,3- or 1,4-dibromobis(sulfone) 21 and 25 was applied to intramolecular coupling reactions to give the three- and four-membered carbocycles 26-28.
