Conjugated enynones can be used as carbene precursors to couple with arylboronic acids in the presence of Rh(I) catalyst. This reaction shows good functional compatibility, and a range of furyl-containing triarylmethanes can be smoothly synthesized from easily available starting materials under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistically, the formation of Rh(I) (2-furyl)carbene species and the subsequent carbene migratory insertion are proposed as the key steps in this reaction.
共轭烯炔可以作为卡宾前体,在 Rh(I) 催化剂的存在下与芳基硼酸偶联。该反应具有良好的功能兼容性,可以从易得的起始原料在温和的反应条件下顺利合成一系列含呋喃基的三芳基甲烷。从机理上看,Rh(I)(2-呋喃基)卡宾物种的形成和随后的卡宾迁移插入被认为是该反应的关键步骤。
