We report an aromatic C-H hydroxylation protocol in which the arene is activated through -coordination to an iridium(III) complex. -Coordination of the arene increases its electrophilicity and allows for high positional selectivity of hydroxylation at the site of least electron density. Through investigation of intermediate -cyclohexadienyl adducts and arene exchange reactions, we evaluate incorporation of arene -activation into a catalytic cycle for C-H functionalization.
我们报道了一种芳香族C-H羟基化方法,其中芳烃通过与铱(III)配合物的π配位作用而被活化。芳烃的π配位增加了其亲电性,并使得在电子密度最低的位点进行羟基化反应具有高位置选择性。通过对中间体环己二烯基加合物和芳烃交换反应的研究,我们评估了芳烃活化作用纳入C-H官能团化催化循环的情况。
