Continuous synthesis of organozinc halides coupled to Negishi reactions

The Negishi cross-coupling is a powerful C-C bond forming reaction. The method is less commonly used relative to other cross-coupling methods in part due to lack of availability of organozinc species. While organozinc species can be prepared, problems wit

Selective arylation of exocyclic N-position of 2-pyrimidylnitrenium ion photolytically generated from tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid

Photo-reactions of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (1) with benzene (2a) and substituted benzenes (2b-f) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gave 2-(2-, 3- and 4-substituted anilino)pyrimidines (3-5) together with 2-aminopyridine (6) and biphenyl (7) or diarylmethanes (8b, 8c and 8e). From the effect of heavy-atom solvent on the reactions, it is reasonable to assume that 3-5 are formed via a singlet species, but 6-8 via a triplet species. The intermediacy of 2-pyrimidylnitrenium ion is consistent with the evidence derived by the above effect, by a Hammett plot with p = -2.9 and by effects of solvent nucleophilicity and counter-anions. The selective exocyclic N-arylation giving 3-5 is discussed.
