Nickel-Catalyzed α-Carbonylalkylarylation of Vinylarenes: Expedient Access to γ,γ-Diarylcarbonyl and Aryltetralone Derivatives.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report a Ni-catalyzed regioselective α-carbonylalkylarylation of vinylarenes with α-halocarbonyl compounds and arylzinc reagents. The reaction works with primary, secondary, and tertiary α-halocarbonyl molecules, and electronically varied arylzinc reagents. The reaction generates γ,γ-diarylcarbonyl derivatives with α-secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbon centers. The products can be readily converted to aryltetralones, including a precursor to Zoloft, an antidepressant drug.
