Here, we describe that simple ketones can be efficiently employed as electrophiles in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions via catalytic activation of unstrained C-C bonds. A range of common ketones, such as cyclopentanones, acetophenones, acetone and 1-indanones, could be directly coupled with various arylboronates in high site-selectivity, which offers a distinct entry to more functionalized aromatic ketones. Preliminary mechanistic study suggests that the ketone α-C-C bond was cleaved via oxidative addition.
在这里,我们描述了简单的酮可以通过未受应变的 C-C 键的催化活化,有效地作为亲电试剂用于 Suzuki-Miyaura 偶联反应。一系列常见的酮,如环戊酮、苯乙酮、丙酮和 1-茚酮,可以高选择性地与各种芳基硼酸酯直接偶联,为更多功能化的芳香酮提供了独特的入口。初步的机理研究表明,酮的α-C-C 键通过氧化加成断裂。
