- Selective monolithiation of dibromobiaryls using microflow systems
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Selective monolithiation of dibromobiaryls, such as 2,2′-dibromobiphenyl, 4,4′-dibromobiphenyl, 2,7-dibromo-9,9-dioctylfluorene, 2,2′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl, and 5,5′-dibromo-2,2′-bithiophene, with 1 equiv of n-butyllithium followed by the reaction with electrophiles was achieved using a microflow system by virtue of fast micromixing and precise temperature control. Sequential introduction of two different electrophiles based on this method was also achieved using a microflow system composed of four micromixers and four microtube reactors.

- Palladium-catalyzed arylation of α,α-disubstituted arylmethanols via cleavage of a C-C or a C-H bond to give biaryls
-
The palladium-catalyzed arylation of α,α-disubstituted arylmethanols with aryl halides proceeds not only via C-H bond cleavage at the ortho-position, but also via cleavage of the sp2-sp3 C-C bond with the liberation of ketones (β-carbon elimination) to give the corresponding biaryls. Both reactions appear to occur through common arylpalladium(II) alcoholate intermediates. The results of systematic studies with respect to which C-C or C-H bond is preferentially cleaved in the arylation are reported. Among the important findings is the selective elimination of ortho-substituted aryl groups even from aryl(diphenyl)methanols due to steric reasons. Thus, various biaryls having ortho-substituents can be produced efficiently by treatment of the corresponding aryl(diphenyl or dimethyl)methanols with aryl bromides and chlorides.
