- NaBH4-TMEDA and a palladium catalyst as efficient regio- and chemoselective system for the hydrodehalogenation of halogenated heterocycles
-
The pair NaBH4-TMEDA as hydride source and a palladium catalyst in THF prove to be an efficient system for the hydrodehalogenation of halogenated heterocycles with one or more heteroatoms. In general, Pd(OAc) 2-PPh3 rapidly hydrodehalogenates reactive halo-heterocycles such as bromo-pyridines, -quinolines, -thiophenes, -indoles, -imidazoles, etc., at room temperature in very good yields, whereas in most cases PdCl2(dppf) reduces less reactive halides such as chloro-pyridines, -quinolines, -pyrimidines and bromo-indoles, -benzofurans, etc. Moreover, PdCl2(tbpf) shows to be even more active removing the 2- and 5-chlorine from both thiophene and thiazole rings. The reaction conditions tolerate various functional groups, allowing highly chemoselective reactions in the presence of halide, ester, alkyne, alkene and nitrile substituents. Moreover, with a proper selection of the catalyst it is also possible to obtain a good control in the regioselective hydrodehalogenation of a variety of polyhalogenated substrates.

The pair NaBH4-TMEDA as a hydride source and catalytic PdCl 2(dppf) in THF prove to be an efficient system for the hydrodehalogenation of bromo(chloro)-heteropentalenes with one or two heteroatoms, while Pd(OAc)2/PPh3 is able to reduce reactive haloheteropentalenes, and PdCl2(tbpf) allows the removal of the 2-chlorine from a thiophene ring. The reaction conditions tolerate various functional groups, allowing highly chemoselective reactions in the presence of halide, ester, alkyne, alkene, and nitrile substituents and also showing good efficiency in the regioselective hydrodehalogenation of a variety of polyhalogenated substrates.
