METHOD FOR PRODUCING ARENE COMPOUNDS AND ARENE COMPOUNDS PRODUCED BY THE SAME

Provided is a method for producing (alkyl)arene compounds represented by Formulae 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 by the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of alkyl halide compounds and arene compounds using organic phosphine compounds as a catalyst.

A Zwitterionic Palladium(II) Complex as a Precatalyst for Neat-Water-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions of Heteroaryl, Benzyl, and Aryl Acid Chlorides with Organoboron Reagents

The Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reactions of several heteroaryl chlorides, benzyl chlorides, and aryl acid chlorides with (hetero)arylboron reagents have been investigated in the presence of [Pd(HL1)(PPh3)Cl2] (I) [HL1 = 3-[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1-imidazolio]-2-quinoxalinide] as catalyst and K2CO3 as base in neat water. The synthesis of the heterocycle-containing biaryls required the addition of 2 mol-% of a phosphine ligand (PPh3 or X-Phos). A combination of more than 115 substrates were screened and it was found that I is a versatile catalyst that can produce heterocycle-containing biaryls, diarylmethanes, and benzophenones in moderate-to-excellent yields.

Benzylic Phosphates in Friedel-Crafts Reactions with Activated and Unactivated Arenes: Access to Polyarylated Alkanes

Easily reachable electron-poor/rich primary and secondary benzylic phosphates are suitably used as substrates for Friedel-Crafts benzylation reactions with only 1.2 equiv activated/deactivated arenes (no additional solvent) to access structurally and electronically diverse polyarylated alkanes with excellent yields and selectivities at room temperature. Specifically, diversely substituted di/triarylmethanes are generated within 2-30 min using this approach. A wide number of electron-poor polyarylated alkanes are easily accomplished through this route by just tuning the phosphates.
