A mild and practical procedure for synthesis of substituted 2-aminobenzophenones

Abstract A convenient three-step procedure has been developed for synthesis of substituted 2-aminobenzophenones from substituted anilines. The anilines are first protected as acetanilides, by reaction with acetic anhydride. These are then benzoylated with (trichloromethyl)benzene in the presence of aluminium-generated 2-acetamidobenzophenone. Finally, removal of the acetyl group from the amino group provides the substituted 2-aminobenzophenones in moderate to good yields.

Dual role of acetanilides: Traceless removal of a directing group through deacetylation/diazotation and palladium-catalyzed C-C-coupling reactions

The acetamide group enables regioselective oxidative ortho-C-H activation reactions, such as Pd-catalyzed acylation. The synthetic utility of these transformations can be significantly enhanced by using the acetamide as a quasi-leaving group in a subsequent conventional Pd-catalyzed coupling or cross-coupling reaction. The concept is illustrated herein for the synthesis of o-alkenyl- and o-arylphenones, which have potential for the synthesis of arylated aromatic heterocycles.

Palladium-catalyzed C-H bond acylation of acetanilides with benzylic alcohols under aqueous conditions

Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling reactions between acetanilides and benzylic alcohols under aqueous conditions are reported. A wide range of benzophenone derivatives could be obtained in good to excellent yields up to 98 %. Mechanism studies showed that a bimetallic palladium cyclopalladated complex might be involved in the catalysis.

Mild palladium-catalyzed oxidative direct ortho-C-H acylation of anilides under aqueous conditions

Palladium-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling between anilides and aromatic aldehydes was achieved under aqueous conditions. A wide variety of the desired benzophenone derivatives was isolated in good to excellent yield. The reaction rate acceleration effect of acid and detergent has been demonstrated. Mechanistic insight has been obtained from quantum chemical calculations. Copyright

Palladium-catalyzed direct oxidative ortho-acylation of anilides with toluene derivatives

Direct oxidative ortho-acylation reaction of anilides with toluene derivatives in the presence of palladium acetate using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant was developed. A broad range of diaryl ketones was obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 95%). The plausible mechanism was also proposed.

Palladium-catalyzed direct ortho -acylation through an oxidative coupling of acetanilides with toluene derivatives

A facile ortho-acylation of acetanilides by a Pd-catalyzed oxidative C-H activation was developed in which low toxic, stable, and commercially available toluene derivatives were first used as acylation reagents by a tandem reaction to form o-acylacetanili

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative C-H bond acylation of acetanilides with benzylic alcohols

An efficient and clean method to construct C-C bonds has been developed via the acylation reaction of acetanilides with benzylic alcohols using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant catalyzed by palladium acetate in the presence of triflic acid (TfOH). The acylation reactions exhibit excellent reactivities, and up to 95% yield of the corresponding aryl ketone could be obtained under the optimal conditions. Copyright
