The direct carbonylation of C-H bonds in the benzene ring of N-phenylpyrazoles via catalysis by ruthenium or rhodium complexes is described. The reaction of N-phenylpyrazoles with carbon monoxide and ethylene in the presence of Ru(3)(CO)(12) or Rh(4)(CO)(12) resulted in the site-selective carbonylation of the ortho C-H bonds in the benzene ring to give the corresponding ethyl ketones. A variety of functional groups on the benzene ring can be tolerated. N-Phenylpyrazoles have higher reactivities than would be expected, based on the pK(a) values of the conjugate acid of pyrazole. The choice of solvent for this reaction is significant, and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) gives the best result.
描述了通过钌或铑配合物催化N-苯基吡唑苯环中C-H键的直接羰基化反应。在Ru₃(CO)₁₂或Rh₄(CO)₁₂存在下,N-苯基吡唑与一氧化碳和乙烯反应,导致苯环中邻位C-H键发生位点选择性羰基化,生成相应的乙基酮。苯环上的各种官能团均可耐受。基于吡唑共轭酸的pKa值,N-苯基吡唑具有比预期更高的反应活性。该反应中溶剂的选择很重要,N, N-二甲基乙酰胺(DMA)效果最佳。
