A VERSATILE LIGAND FOR PALLADIUM-CATALYZED META-C-H FUNCTIONALIZATIONS

摘要

A class of mono-protected 3-amino-2- hydroxypyridine (MPAHP) ligands that enable the meta- C-H arylation of anilines, phenols, phenylacetic acids, and biologically relevant heterocyclic compounds using norbornene as a transient mediator is disclosed. The applicability of this meta-arylation methodology in the pharmaceutical industry is illustrated for heteroaryl substrates and heteroaryl iodide coupling partners, a feat made possible by using the MPAHP ligand. The enabling nature of MPAHP ligands to achieve other meta-C-H functionalization processes is also illustrated by the development of a meta-C-H amination reaction and a meta-C-H alkynylation reaction.
