Experimental and DFT study on the indium-mediated synthesis of benzophenones via arylstannanes

Experimental results of the solvent-free, indium-promoted reaction of aroyl chlorides with arylstannanes showed a narrow scope; its efficiency depends both on the extent of methylation in the latter and on the nature, number and position of the substituents in the former. With the purpose of explaining experimental results, a theoretical analysis with DFT methods was performed for a set of selected cases. This journal is

Facile access to sterically hindered aryl ketones via carbonylative cross-coupling: Application to the total synthesis of luteolin

A general and mild protocol for achieving the carbonylative cross-coupling of sterically hindered, ortho-disubstituted aryl ketones is reported. The commercially available PEPPSI-IPr catalyst is shown to efficiently promote the carbonylative cross-coupling of hindered ortho-disubstituted aryl iodides to give diaryl ketones; traditional phosphine catalysts are less effective. Carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings provide a diverse array of biaryl ketones in good to excellent yields. The same catalyst is also shown to catalyze a carbonylative Negishi cross-coupling reaction, utilizing a variety of alkynyl-zinc reagents to give the corresponding alkynyl aryl ketones. Application of this new methodology to the synthesis of the natural product luteolin is reported.

Carbonylative cross-coupling of ortho-disubstituted aryl iodides. Convenient synthesis of sterically hindered aryl ketones

(Chemical Equation Presented) A mild and general protocol for the carbonylative cross-coupling of sterically hindered ortho-disubstituted aryl iodides is reported. Carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura couplings of a variety of aryl boronic acids provide an array of substituted biaryl ketones in modest to excellent yield. A carbonylative Negishi coupling that utilizes alkynyl nucleophiles is also described.
