Palladium-Catalyzed, ortho-Selective C-H Halogenation of Benzyl Nitriles, Aryl Weinreb Amides, and Anilides

A palladium-catalyzed, ortho-selective C-H halogenation methodology is reported herein. The highlight of the work is the highly selective C(sp2)-H functionalization of benzyl nitriles in the presence of activated C(sp3)-H bond, which results in good yields of the halogenated products with excellent regioselectivity. Along with benzyl nitriles, aryl Weinreb amides and anilides have been evaluated for the transformation using aprotic conditions. Mechanistic studies yield interesting aspects with respect to the pathway of the reaction and the directing group abilities.

Paracyclophanes: Extending the bridges. Synthesis

Preparatively satisfactory routes to [3.2]paracyclophane (10), [4.2]paracyclophane (14), [4.3]paracyclophane (19) as well as several derivatives of these compounds - among others the bromides 25, the ester 31, the diesters 40-43 - are described using well-established methods of cyclophane chemistry (ring-closure reactions leading to thiacyclophanes, ring contraction by sulfone pyrolysis). The parent systems and their derivatives are now available in gram quantities allowing a study of their chemical properties. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2009.

Synthesis of benzocyclobutenes by palladium-catalyzed C-H activation of methyl groups: Method and mechanistic study

An efficient catalytic system has been developed for the synthesis of benzocyclobutenes by C-H activation of methyl groups. The optimal conditions employed a combination of Pd(OAc)2 and PtBu3 as catalyst, K2CO3 as the base, and DMF as solvent. A variety of substituted BCB were obtained under these conditions with yields in the 44-92% range, including molecules that are hardly accessible by other methods. The reaction was found limited to substrates bearing a quaternary benzylic carbon, but benzocyclobutenes bearing a tertiary benzylic carbon could be obtained indirectly from diesters by decarboxylation. Reaction substrates bearing a small substituent para to bromine gave an unexpected regioisomer that likely arose from a 1,4-palladium migration process. The formation of this "abnormal" regioisomer could be suppressed by introducing a larger subsituent para to bromine. DFT(B3PW91) calculations on the reaction of 2-bromo-tert-butylbenzene with Pd(PtBu3) with different bases (acetate, bicarbonate, carbonate) showed the critical influence of the coordination mode of the base to induce both an easy C-H activation and to allow for a pathway for 1,4-palladium migration. Carbonate is shown to be more efficient than the two other bases because it can abstract the proton easily and at the same time maintain κ1-coordination without extensive electronic reorganization.
