Halogenated arenes are important structural motifs commonly found in biologically active molecules and used for a variety of transformations in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the mono-protected l-amino acid (l-MPAA) accelerated iridium(III)-catalyzed halogenation of (hetero)anilides at room temperature. This reaction constitutes the first example of an iridium(III)/l-MPAA-catalyzed general halogenation of (hetero)arenes through C(sp )-H activation. Furthermore, we demonstrate the potential utility of our method through its use in the synthesis of a quinolone derivative.
卤代芳烃是生物活性分子中常见的重要结构基序,在有机合成中用于各种转化反应。在此,我们报道了单保护的L-氨基酸(L-MPAA)加速铱(III)催化的(杂)芳酰胺在室温下的卤化反应。该反应是通过C(sp )-H活化实现铱(III)/L-MPAA催化(杂)芳烃通用卤化反应的首例。此外,我们通过将该方法用于喹诺酮衍生物的合成,证明了其潜在应用价值。
