Ag(I)-C-H Activation Enables Near-Room-Temperature Direct ?-Arylation of Benzo[ b]thiophenes.


ABSTRACT: The first example of near-room-temperature ?-arylation of benzo[ b]thiophenes is reported. The discovery rests on the observation of a switch in ?-/?-regioselectivity at different loadings of Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in the coupling between benzo[ b]thiophene and 4-iodotoluene. We show that this unprecedented regioselectivity switch is driven by a Ag(I)-mediated C-H activation at the ?-C-H position, which becomes the dominant mode of reactivity at low concentrations of Pd. Competition experiments, kinetic studies, KIE, and D/H scrambling experiments have been carried out supporting this mechanism.

The first example of near-room-temperature α-arylation of benzo[ b]thiophenes is reported.

We show that this unprecedented regioselectivity switch is driven by a Ag(I)-mediated C-H activation at the α-C-H position, which becomes the dominant mode of reactivity at low concentrations of Pd  ...[more]
