Herein, we demonstrate that amides can be readily coupled with nonactivated arenes via sequential Ir-catalyzed C-H borylation/N-C(O) activation. This methodology provides facile access to biaryl ketones and biaryls by the sterically controlled Ir-catalyzed C-H borylation and divergent acyl and decarbonylative amide N-C(O) and C-C activation. The methodology diverts the traditional acylation and arylation regioselectivity, allowing us to directly utilize readily available arenes and amides to produce valuable ketone and biaryl motifs.

Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis, also known as the Catellani reaction, has become an increasingly useful method for site-selective arene functionalization; however, certain constraints still exist because of its intrinsic mechanistic pathway. Herein, we report a redox-neutral ortho functionalization of aryl boroxines via Pd/NBE catalysis. An electrophile, such as carboxylic acid anhydrides or O-benzoyl hydroxylamines, is coupled at the boroxine ortho position, and a proton as the second electrophile is introduced at the ipso position. This reaction does not require extra oxidants or reductants and avoids stoichiometric bases or acids, thereby tolerating a wide range of functional groups. In particular, orthogonal chemoselectivity between aryl iodide and boroxine moieties is demonstrated, which could be used to control reaction sequences. Finally, a deuterium-labeling study supports the ipso protonation pathway. This unique mechanistic feature could inspire the development of a new class of Pd/NBE-catalyzed transformations.Poly-substituted aromatics are ubiquitously found in drugs and agrochemicals. To realize streamlined synthesis, it is highly attractive if functional groups can be site-selectively introduced at unactivated positions with common arene starting materials. Here, a method is developed to directly introduce acyl and amino groups at unactivated ortho positions of readily available aryl boron compounds. Compared with the known ortho functionalization approaches, this method does not require stoichiometric bases, external oxidants, or reductants. Consequently, the reaction is chemoselective: a wide range of functional groups, including highly reactive aryl iodides, can be tolerated. The primary innovation lies in the use of a proton to terminate the ipso aryl intermediate and regenerate the active palladium catalyst. This unique mode of reactivity in the palladium/norbornene catalysis should open the door for developing new redox-neutral methods for site-selective arene functionalization.A redox-neutral ortho functionalization of aryl boroxines via palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis is developed. The ortho amination and acylation are achieved with carboxylic acid anhydrides and O-benzoyl hydroxylamines as an electrophile, respectively, whereas protonation occurs at the ipso position. This transformation avoids using either extra oxidants and reductants or stoichiometric bases and acids. In addition, orthogonal chemoselectivity between aryl iodide and boroxine moieties is demonstrated for pathway divergence.

The synthesis and characterization of novel C1′-phenyl-substituted Δ8-THC analogs were previously reported by our laboratory. Within this small series of compounds, the C1′-dimethyl phenyl group was found to impart 13.5-fold selectivity for the CB2 receptor with a Ki 0.91 nM. The current study expands on the previous report by evaluating the effects of aromatic ring substitution on CB1 and CB2 receptor subtype binding and selectivity. The ring substituents synthesized in this study include aliphatic, halogen, nitrile, and acetamido functional groups. In addition, the isosteric replacement of the phenyl group by thiophene was evaluated. The anti-glioma activities of selected compounds were evaluated in vitro and compared to the lead compound 2.
