Design of an Indolylphosphine Ligand for Reductive Elimination-Demanding Monoarylation of Acetone Using Aryl Chlorides

The rational design of a phosphine ligand for the reductive elimination-demanding Pd-catalyzed mono-α-arylation of acetone is demonstrated and reported. The catalyst is tolerant of previously proven challenging electron-deficient aryl chlorides and provides excellent product yields with down to 0.1 mol % Pd. Preliminary investigations suggest that the rate-limiting step for the proposed system is the oxidative addition of aryl chlorides, in which it contradicts previous findings regarding the α-arylation of acetone with aryl halides.

DIALKYL(2-ALKOXY-6-AMINOPHENYL)PHOSPHINE, THE PREPARATION METHOD AND USE THEREOF

The present invention relates to the compound of dialkyl(2-alkoxy-6-aminophenyl)phosphine and the preparation method thereof and the application in the palladium catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl chloride and ketone. The dialkyl(2-alkoxy-6-aminophenyl)phosphine of the present invention could coordinate with the palladium catalyst to highly selectively activate the inert carbon-chlorine bond, and to catalyze direct arylation reaction in the α-position of ketones to produce corresponding coupling compounds. The preparation method of the present invention is a simple one-step method which produces the air-stable dialkyl(2-alkoxy-6-aminophenyl)phosphine. Compared with the synthetic routes of ligands to be used in the activation of carbon-chlorine bonds in the prior arts, the preparation method of the present invention has the advantages of short route and easy operation.

Zheda-phos for general α-monoarylation of acetone with aryl chlorides

A new, readily available, and air-stable monophosphine ligand, i.e., Zheda-Phos, has been developed for the general and highly effective palladium-catalyzed monoarylation of acetone with aryl chlorides. The reaction rate is of first-order dependence with the aryl chloride. Copyright

Palladium-catalyzed mono-α-arylation of acetone with aryl halides and tosylates

We report the first example of selective Pd-catalyzed mono-α- arylation of acetone employing aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides, and tosylates. The use of appropriately designed P,N-ligands proved to be the key to controlling the reactivity and selectivity. The reaction affords good yields with substrates containing a range of functional groups at modest Pd loadings using Cs2CO3 as the base and employing acetone as both a reagent and the solvent.(Figure Presented)

Heck reactions of α- or β-substituted enol ethers with aryl bromides catalysed by a tetraphosphane/palladium complex - Direct access to acetophenone or 1-arylpropanone derivatives

cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-Tetrakis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)cyclopentane/ [PdCl(C3H5)]2 efficiently catalyses the Heck reaction of α- and β-substituted enol ethers with aryl bromides. The arylation of 1-phenyl-1-(trimethylsilyloxy) ethylene led directly to the 2-aryl-1-phenylethanones. Similar reaction rates were observed with electron-rich, electron-deficient or sterically congested aryl bromides. Heck reaction with benzyl isopropenyl ether gave a mixture of isomers. However, this mixture gave selectively the 1-arylpropanones after hydrolysis. Employing β-methoxystyrene, 3-ethoxyacrylonitrile or methyl 3-methoxyacrylate, the regioselective α-arylation of these enol ethers was observed in all cases, but mixtures of (Z) and (E) isomers were generally obtained, which in many cases yielded a single ketone product after acid treatment. The stereoselectivity of this reaction depends on steric and electronic factors, and better stereoselectivities in favour of (Z) isomers were observed with electron-rich or sterically congested aryl bromides. Higher yields were obtained for this reaction with electron-rich or sterically congested aryl bromides than with electron-poor aryl bromides. These observations suggest that the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle is not the oxidative addition of the aryl bromide to the palladium complex with these substituted enol ethers.

SRN1 reactions of aryl halides with carbanions initiated by sodium amalgam in liquid ammonia

The reaction of 1-chloronaphthalene with acetone (2a) and acetophenone (2b) enolate ions was initiated by sodium amalgam [Na(Hg)] in liquid ammonia giving good yields of the substitution products 3a and 3b respectively. 2-Chloroquinoline and 2-chloropyridine gave good yields of substitution product with 2b, and moderate to good yields with 2a. 4-Bromobenzophenone and 2a gave 78% of the substitution product 5. With aryl halides whose radical anions fragment fast and consequently close to the Na(Hg) surface, such as bromobenzene and p-bromoanisole, only dehalogenation products were observed. However, when benzonitrile was used as a redox catalyst, about 50% of the substitution product 6 was obtained with p-bromoanisole and 2a. However, with the more reactive carbanionic nucleophile, such as anthrone anion 4, good yields of the substitution product 7 were obtained with bromobenzene. In all these reactions neither reduction of the aromatic moiety nor the ketone functionality was observed. It is therefore suggested that Na(Hg) amalgam initiates these SRN1 reactions.

Behaviour of Arylazo tert-Butyl Sulfides with Ketone Enolates. Competition between SRN1 α-Arylation and Azocoupling Reactions.

(Z)-Arylazo tert-butyl sulfides 1a-i react, in DMSO and at room temperature, with potassium acetone enolate to give good yields of 1-aryl-2-propanones via spontaneous SRN1 dark reactions. α-Phenylation of pincolone and acetophenone enolates by 1a likewise occurs in excellent yields.In agreement with the involvement of an electron-transfer catalyzed chain process, the reaction of the 4-bromo derivative 1n with pinacolone enolate gives mainly the bis-substitution product 13.With azosulfides 1j-m the arylation pathway competes with a base-induced thiol elimination eventually leading, depending on the structure of the azosulfide, to indazoles 8 or 11 and/or to 2-oxopropanal arylhydrazones 9, 10 or 12.
