We describe the double-carboxylation of two C-H bonds (i.e., at the benzylic and the β-positions) in 2-alkylheteroarenes using a combination of LiO- t-Bu and CsF. A diverse range of substrates, namely benzothiophene, thiophene, benzofuran, furan, and indole derivatives, are efficiently converted into the doubly carboxylated products. A variety of functionalities (i.e., methyl, methoxy, halogen, cyano, ester, ketone, and amide moieties) are well tolerated.
我们描述了使用 LiO-t-Bu 和 CsF 的组合,在 2-烷基杂芳烃中双羧化两个 C-H 键(即在苄位和 β-位)。各种底物,即苯并噻吩、噻吩、苯并呋喃、呋喃和吲哚衍生物,被有效地转化为双羧化产物。多种官能团(即甲基、甲氧基、卤素、氰基、酯、酮和酰胺部分)具有良好的耐受性。
