Phosphine-Free, Heterogeneous Palladium-Catalyzed Atom-Efficient Carbonylative Cross-Coupling of Triarylbismuths with Aryl Iodides: Synthesis of Biaryl Ketones

摘要

A novel and highly efficient heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling of aryl iodides with triarylbismuths has been developed that proceeds smoothly at atmospheric CO pressure and provides a general and powerful tool for the preparation of various valuable biaryl ketones with high atom economy, good to excellent yield, and recyclability of the catalyst. The reaction is the first example of Pd-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling for the construction of biaryl ketones using triarylbismuths as substrates.
