Selective Hydrogen Atom Abstraction through Induced Bond Polarization: Direct ?-Arylation of Alcohols through Photoredox, HAT, and Nickel Catalysis.


ABSTRACT: The combination of nickel metallaphotoredox catalysis, hydrogen atom transfer catalysis, and a Lewis acid activation mode, has led to the development of an arylation method for the selective functionalization of alcohol ?-hydroxy C-H bonds. This approach employs zinc-mediated alcohol deprotonation to activate ?-hydroxy C-H bonds while simultaneously suppressing C-O bond formation by inhibiting the formation of nickel alkoxide species. The use of Zn-based Lewis acids also deactivates other hydridic bonds such as ?-amino and ?-oxy C-H bonds. This approach facilitates rapid access to benzylic alcohols, an important motif in drug discovery. A 3-step synthesis of the drug Prozac exemplifies the utility of this new method.
