Engaging Nonaromatic, Heterocyclic Tosylates in Reductive Cross-Coupling with Aryl and Heteroaryl Bromides

摘要

A method has been developed for the introduction of nonaromatic heterocyclic structures onto aryl and heteroaryl bromides using alkyl tosylates in a reductive cross-coupling manifold. This protocol offers an improvement over previous methods by utilizing alkyl tosylate coupling partners that are bench-stable, crystalline solids that can be prepared from inexpensive, commercially available alcohols.
