- Palladium-catalysed C2 or C5 direct arylation of 3-substituted thiophenes with aryl bromides
-
The Pd(OAc)2/dppb system was found to be an efficient catalyst for the direct arylation of 3-substituted thiophene derivatives. The regioselectivity of the arylation strongly depends on the thiophene substituent and also on the nature of the aryl bromide. When using 3-formyl, 3-cyano, 3-methyl, 3-hydroxymethyl or 3-bromothiophene, the 2-arylated thiophenes were obtained with 76-95% regioselectivity; whereas, the arylation of 3-formylthiophene diethylacetal or 3-acetylthiophene gave the 5-arylated thiophenes with 52-90% regioselectivity. The use of congested aryl bromides favours the arylation at C5. These reactions were performed using only 0.1 mol% of catalyst. Moreover, this procedure has been found to be tolerant to a variety of functional groups on the aryl bromide such as formyl, propionyl, benzoyl, nitrile, and nitro. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
