TRANSITION METAL-CATALYZED ALKYLATION OF C-H BONDS WITH ORGANOBORON REAGENTS

摘要

One aspect of the present invention relates to methods for functionalization of 2-arylpyridine and arylpyrazoles with organoboron reagents in the presence of a transition metal catalyst to furnish alkylated arylpyridines and arylpyrazoles via regioselective functionalization of sp2 -hybridized C-H bonds at a position ortho to the point of attachment of the pyridine or pyrazole ring to the aromatic nucleus, hi other embodiments, the present invention provides for alkylation of sp3-hybridized C-H bonds in alkylpyridines.
