Arylation in the 4- and 7-positions of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT) and its monofluoro- (MFBT) and difluoro- (DFBT) derivatives by (hetero)aryl bromides using Pd-catalyzed C-H activation has been investigated. MFBT and DFBT can be diarylated in moderate to high yields (up to 96% for DFBT) by a variety of aryl bromides. DFBT can be sequentially arylated using two different aryl bromides to give differentially substituted DFBT derivatives. The moderate to high yields of doubly arylated MFBT and DFBT and the ability to obtain differentially substituted products can be applied to a variety of organic photonic and electronic materials.

Control over site-selectivity is a critical challenge for practical application of catalytic C-H functionalization reactions in organic synthesis. Despite the seminal breakthrough of the Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)-H arylation of simple arenes via a concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) pathway in 2006, understanding the site-selectivity of the reaction still remains elusive. Here, we have comprehensively investigated the scope, site-selectivity, and mechanism of the Pd-catalyzed direct C-H arylation reaction of simple arenes. Counterintuitively, electron-rich arenes preferably undergo meta-arylation without the need for a specifically designed directing group, whereas electron-deficient arenes bearing fluoro or cyano groups exhibit high ortho-selectivity and electron-deficient arenes bearing bulky electron-withdrawing groups favor the meta-product. Comprehensive mechanistic investigations through a combination of kinetic measurements and stoichiometric experiments using arylpalladium complexes have revealed that the Pd-based catalytic system works via a cooperative bimetallic mechanism, not the originally proposed monometallic CMD mechanism, regardless of the presence of a strongly coordinating L-type ligand. Notably, the transmetalation step, which is influenced by a potassium cation, is suggested as the selectivity-determining step.
Assessment of the intermediacy of arylpalladium carboxylate complexes in the direct arylation of benzene: Evidence for C-H bond cleavage by "ligandless" species

Palladium-catalyzed direct arylations of benzene have been proposed to occur by the generation of a phosphine-ligated arylpalladium pivalate complex LPd(Ar)(OPiv) and reaction of this complex with benzene. We have isolated an example of the proposed intermediate and evaluated whether this complex does react with benzene to form the biaryl products of direct arylation. In contrast to the proposed mechanism, no biaryl product was formed from cleavage of the benzene C-H bond by LPd(Ar)(OPiv). However, reactions of LPd(Ar)(OPiv) with benzene and additives that displace or consume the phosphine ligand formed the arylated products in good yield, suggesting that a "ligandless" arylpalladium(II) carboxylate complex undergoes the C-H cleavage step. Consistent with this conclusion, we found that reactions catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 without a ligand occur faster than, and with comparable selectivities to, reactions catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and a phosphine ligand.
