Synthesis of Multisubstituted Triphenylenes and Phenanthrenes by Cascade Reaction of o-Iodobiphenyls or (Z)-β-Halostyrenes with o-Bromobenzyl Alcohols through Two Sequential C-C Bond Formations Catalyzed by a Palladium Complex
o-Bromobenzyl alcohol has been developed as a novel annulating reagent, bearing both nucleophilic and electrophilic substituents, for the facile synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A palladium/electron-deficient phosphine catalyst efficiently coupled o-iodobiphenyls or (Z)-β-halostyrenes with o-bromobenzyl alcohols to afford triphenylenes and phenanthrenes, respectively. The present cascade reaction proceeded through deacetonative cross-coupling and sequential intramolecular cyclization. An array of experimental data suggest that the reaction mechanism involves the equilibrium of 1,4-palladium migration.
Ambient arylmagnesiation of alkynes catalysed by ligandless nickel(ii)
A simple and efficient catalytic arylmagnesiation of diarylacetylenes and aryl(alkyl)acetylenes is accomplished by NiCl2·6H2O at r.t. in the absence of stabilising ligands. The corresponding tetra-substituted alkenes can be obtained in good yields by subsequent treatment with different electrophiles. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
