Article Abstract

We report an efficient method for regioselective O-arylation of the 6-hydroxy group of carbohydrates. The reaction involves a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction (SAr) using electron-deficient arenes under mild conditions. Regioselectively monoarylated carbohydrate derivative was produced smoothly in the reaction by fine-tuning with the base. The pentafluoropyridine (P1) in combination with N, N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) was successfully converted to regioselective O-arylated products of different positional hydroxy group free sugar derivatives with various functional groups.

We report a new C-O arylation strategy for the synthesis of 2-arylphenols from bio-abundant guaiacols. Functionalization of the strong C-O bond is achieved through a sequence of arylative dearomatization, mediated selectively by an electrophilic bismuth(V) arylating agent, followed by 1,2-reduction and deoxygenative rearomatization. This methodology represents a rare example of complexity-generating deoxygenation applied to lignin-derived biorefinery feedstocks and provides independence from the regioselectivity rules established for the bismuth(V)-mediated arylation of simple phenols.

An air-stable, robust, and well-defined copper(II)-7-azaindole--oxide-based catalyst [Cu(7-AINO)] (abbreviated as Cu(II)-7-AINO) has been demonstrated as an efficient catalyst for various Ullmann-type coupling reactions. This easily prepared and cost-effective catalyst facilitates the arylation and heteroarylation of diverse -, -, and -nucleophiles, including azoles, aminoazoles, (hetero)arylthiols, and phenols. Notably, they also exhibit substantial compatibility with a wide range of functional groups.

We report that O-selective arylation of 2- and 4-pyridones with arylboronic acids is affected by a modular, bismacycle-based system. The utility of this umpolung approach to pyridyl ethers, which is complementary to conventional methods based on S Ar or cross-coupling, is demonstrated through the concise synthesis of Ki6783 and picolinafen, and the formal synthesis of cabozantib and golvatinib. Computational investigations reveal that arylation proceeds in a concerted fashion via a 5-membered transition state.

A facile and efficient synthesis of 7-iodobenzo[]furan derivatives a highly regioselective tandem α-arylation/intramolecular -arylation of 5-substituted-1,2,3-triiodobenzenes and benzylketones is described. Remarkably, the α-arylation coupling reactions initiate exclusively at the least sterically-hindered position of the triiodoarene, which results in a highly chemoselective transformation. The highest yields were observed in reactions between electron-poor 1,2,3-triiodoarenes and electron-rich benzylketones, yet the optimized reaction conditions were found to be tolerant to a wide range of different functional groups.
